City penguin 0 Posted July 31, 2012 While we just contained the dutch champions and worldwide force that is Ajax of amsterdam and got a draw. On the back of beating former European Champions Celtic.Then binmen have just been beaten by the Shrimpers of Southend, on the back of a loss to the hatters of Luton.I know its only pre season, but i like that Ipswich are making my sides split, while we mix it up with Football Royalty.

TIL 1010 4,752 Posted July 31, 2012 Sorry but have you not heard that nobody on here cares about our arch rivals just down the A140 anymore? Those famous victories of the season before last are a distant memory and our 1985 Milk Cup semi final win counts for absiolutely nothing because it is all about everything Aston Villa from now on in.

lake district canary 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Interesting how times have changed. Ipswich are a distant memory now and will remain so as long as we appear so many poles apart. Yet it was only a season ago that it was the best thing ever to beat them 5-1. It also shows how quickly things can change in football! Lets enjoy where we are and not think too much about our friends from down the A140. There may be a time when they will enter our consciousness again, but lets enjoy the fact we''ve got bigger fish to fry! Ip-who? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
City penguin 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Was forgetting that i no longer need to big up our achievements in recent years when compared with theirs, none the less they were European Champions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelmsford Canary 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Can someone remind me wh they are the binmen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
City penguin 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Episode of lovejoy back in the 90s i think, basically the bin men went out on rounds in blue and Scum hats and clothes and went diving in the bins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,752 Posted August 1, 2012 Lovejoy was set in Suffolk starring Ian McShane and the actor playing one of the binmen in the Scum baseball cap was Warren Clarke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanaryOne 0 Posted August 1, 2012 Paul Jewell has today said Ipswich are no where near good enough , not what you want to hear from the manager nearing the start of a new season . Even funnier though they put a clause into Wickhams sale giving them first option on a loan but it turns out they cannot afford to pay three quarters of his wages that was also in the agreement so no Wickham return .

Funny how Evans never wrote that debt ofF and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. They don''t own their ground, they had to sell their training ground and they can''t afford a Category 1 Academy. Oh dear, you''d need to have a heart of stone not to laugh.Another couple of seasons in the Prem for us and a couple more failure seasons by the Paupers and that financial divide will become a permanent feature in the Pride of Anglia stakes.Love it.[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
