I wondered if you meant the Play-off final win, but then I thought a supporter of a former European giant and English Giant would never stoop so low to say that a Play-off winners trophy can be classed as a proper trophy. Oh how you mocked us when we celebrated winning League One.
So a game that had an estimated revenue of £60 Million is trivial!?! Hmmm Interesting point of view Carra and they say that Norfolk people aren't thick!
Come off it, JWM. If we won a championship play-off trophy and then celebrated it like it was a major trophy, you wouldn't of stopped with the 's, no matter the money for winning it. As Beefy says, a lot of good that money did you. How the "mighty" have fallen.
You have totally misunderstood in one sentence what most Ipswich fans think of our club! We have never thought of ourselves as "mighty" or ever tried to suggest that we were. We are rightly proud of our small club for over achieving and regularly punching above our weight in footballing terms. Sir Bobby summed it up pretty well when he described Ipswich as being "A big small club" and that description is one that I am happy with. You may be having the good times at the moment but it will be only a matter of time before it swings back in our direction again. In the football pyramid we are currently ranked as the 16th biggest club in English football taking into account various matrix and although our current league position doesnt reflect this I am very pleased with this small club of mine.
"You may be having the good times at the moment but it will be only a matter of time before it swings back in our direction again" With your club league one bound and ours already strong enough to be Premiership for several years then it will probably be a decade or so before it could happen. But it is good for you to dream and remind us of the 70s constantly.
Carra now you can't have it both ways - either we're talking proper trophies, in which case you've never won one, or we're talking any old trophy will do!
ITFC played in Europe in the 70s, 80s & 00s, it has been just 10 over seasons since we last played in Europe. At a rough guess I would say there may be less than 6 English teams that have a better record than that. Your recent history (8 months) may well be far better than hours, your future (the next 16 or so months) also looks far more promising, enjoy the moment..!
And the 60s hoppers! If you count the Anglo-Italian cup then also the 90s.... nah no need for us to count it!
Its about living in the NOW not the THEN ! This is the problem we have with your lot & the Weeds lot ! Most, not all of you probably weren't even born let alone watched your very sucessful team of the 80's, so i think its time you looked at the date on the top of this morning's news paper, and the league position from the sports section, then take a long hard look in the mirror and ask the question of how good your team is !
You budgies are certainly proving my point tonight..! We know how crap we are at this time, we go every week. As I said enjoy your moment.!
Lads, Lads. whats with all the hostility? Can we not just agree that Ipswich are **** and go about our business?
I see the binners are feeling cocky because they haven't lost this weekend. Normal service will be resumed soon boys so don't worry.
Beef Hoppey No hostility towards you or your mob, just bored of the 80's stuff......irrelivant nowadays !
