Dear Budgies 10:40 - Feb 21 with 4718 views | FinidiCentenary | I have considered your wild claims that you are the better side and must admit, despite doing everything I can to substantiate your claims, I just can't find evidence to back this up. Please let me know what I am missing. ***CURRENT POSITION*** Ipswich Town (13th in the Championship) Norwich City (14th in the Championship) So that'll be a no then. ***MOST RECENT MEETING*** Norwich City 1 Ipswich Town 1 So that'll be a no then. ***HEAD TO HEAD*** Ipswich wins 40, Draws 21, Norwich wins 40, Ipswich goals 145, Norwich goals 122 So that'll be a no then ***HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE*** *Premier League (Division 1)* IPSWICH TOWN 1st (1962) 2nd (1981, 1982) 3rd (1975, 1977, 1980) NORWICH CITY 3rd (1993) *Championship (Division 2)* IPSWICH TOWN 1st (1961, 1967, 1992) 3rd (2000) NORWICH CITY 1st (1972, 1986, 2004, 2010) 2nd (2011) 3rd (1975, 1982, 2015) *FA Cup* IPSWICH TOWN Winners (1978) Semi Finalists (1975, 1981) NORWICH CITY Semi Finalists (1992) *League Cup* IPSWICH TOWN Semi Finalists (1982, 1985, 2001, 2011) NORWICH CITY Winners (1962, 1985) Semi Finalists (1974) *Champions League (European Cup)* IPSWICH TOWN 1st Round (1963) NORWICH CITY - *Europa League (UEFA Cup)* IPSWICH TOWN Winners (1981) Quarter Finalists (1974) 3rd Round (1978, 2002) 2nd Round (1976, 1980, 2003) 1st Round (1975, 1982, 1983) NORWICH CITY 3rd Round (1994) *Cup Winners Cup* IPSWICH TOWN Quarter Finals (1979) NORWICH CITY - So that'll be a f***ing no then. Oh wait. It's the bloody Leagues Cup isn't it. Or is it the couple of extra times you gained promotion from the second tier, which we couldn't do because we were already in the top tier? You aren't even better than us NOW, when you've had a £200m advantage you absolute specimens. #YoullNeverBeUs [Post edited 21 Feb 2018 10:46]

Thanks. Added. I had included it in the notes, but didn't add it to the post. | |

Except when their other 2 F.A. Cup Semi Finals do not get included. Makes no difference to our overall historical dominance but still incomplete. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

...and the 2 England Managers and 1x England Captain. | | | |
Dear Budgies on 11:43 - Feb 21 with 4432 views | Superfrans | You forgot the two England managers, Ramsey & Robson (vs none),two England captains, Mills and Butcher (vs none), 62 European ties (vs 6), 12 European campaigns (vs 1)... etc etc. Also, even those who claim they’re not interested in history, the “why would I care about stuff before I was born?” brigade - this century, the highest league performance was our fifth place in the Prem, our lowest was their season in league 1. Really is no comparison. | |

Dear Budgies on 18:40 - Feb 21 with 4104 views | bournemouthblue | On a side note It's impossible for Norwich to have finished first in the Championship and then finished second the following season We've finished third in the Championship more than once, at least twice under Burley and also under Royle? | |

Mid-table nothinging-ness & mediocrity. I reserve "going through hell" for genuine cases of going through hell, ie, being trapped in the Twin Towers, being a prisoner at Auschwitz or trench warfare in WW1. See also the use of the term 'depressed' when discussing a town loss and/or bad performance. The term you're looking is 'a little frustrated' or 'meh'. | |
