morty 0 Posted May 7, 2014 And that about sums things up. Fans of other teams do not come onto rival forums to enjoy "jolly banter". They ultimately only really come to play " my club is better tban your club". And they wonder why they get short shrift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted May 7, 2014 What a silly childish thread from beginning to end. I particularly enjoyed the binner''s nonsense about McCarthy being the best manager in the Chumps and the Chumps being the "most competitive league in the World." and then the other crap about the ills of being in the PL. I like to visit TWTD often, but unlike this goon I have no need to ever post, even when things go badly for them. I have no intention of appearing churlish or somewhat lacking in grey matter as this buffoon does. What I do read there is constant bickering about McCarthy''s boring, unadventurous style of football and I also notice the constant frenzy when they even begin to stand the remotest chance of elevating their financially challenged side to anywhere near the ''nasty; Premier League. TWTD can be ridiculous at times, but this clown takes the biscuit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleyellowbirdie 2,511 Posted May 7, 2014 Will probably get totally harangued for saying so, but I had a sneaking hope that Ipswich might join us in the PL at some point as Derbys are a good laugh and it''s all East Anglia. Not sure I would have gone as far as wanting to be relegated to achieve it though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted May 7, 2014 Mick the best manager in the league?! Are you actually serious?That''s hilarious. An average Championship manager. Nothing more, nothing less.You might think we start on equal standings next season but the reality is:1) We have more money2) We have more fans, and a full ground to go with it.3) We have a better squad.4) You claim we have to start from the beginning again to get that squad back that got us out of the Championship. Good job we''ve got several of those players still at the club, with some welcome additions.5) Any good player that you might be interested in -if he''s actually any good - chances are we will be to. And we''re the much better attraction. We can pay more, have a nicer city, better ground, more fans - and have just come down from the Premier League.So...see you next season [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrs miggins 0 Posted May 7, 2014 I wonder if you''re this much of an @rsehole in person, I very much doubt it, so run along and stop embarrassing yourself. You''re an ipswich town fan, you belong in the championship, its fine, we on the other hand seem to be one of these yo yo clubs that have excitement and unpredictability. You have dracula as your manager, many of the you scammers live up to your name unfortunately, you have a disloyal fan base and your club is in debt. Whichever way round you want to look at it, your club is still pretty pointless and stagnating, like a confused ant wandering over a paving slab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
