Thread | When will Phil put up the following headline today?
at 08:42 1 Sep 2022
“Quiet transfer deadline day expected at Portman Road”…. A staple favourite of the Evans years!
Seems unlikely given the speculation and recent transfer activity but maybe we’ll settle for what we’ve got already. |

Thread | Why do none of our managers use the League Cup to gel the team?
at 21:51 9 Aug 2022
I just don’t get why all of our recent managers make wholesale changes for the First Round of the EFL Cup. Surely it’s the perfect opportunity to start with a strong XI, work on partnerships/patterns of play against weakened opposition?
Our League Cup record since the Priskin semi is awful. Shouldn’t be too much to ask that we gave it a good go occasionally? |

Thread | Morsy - absolute marmite
at 07:59 7 Aug 2022
Hands up, I don’t see Town often (2/3 times a year) and (due to geography) I’m now a season ticket holder at Forest Green.
Yesterday was a very strange experience for me. Not sure I enjoyed it!
It was also the first time I recall seeing Sam Morsy play. Is he like that every week? Every tackle he left something on this opponent, niggly, horrible player. But then he pulls out a piece of sublime craft for his goal.
For those that are old enough he reminded me (not in terms of position, in terms of attitude) of the likes of Paul Dickov or David Speedie.
I’d imagine the majority of ITFC fans love him but away fans leave every game despising him? Is that fair? |

Thread | Cook: P24 W4
at 16:53 11 Sep 2021
The last time I questioned whether Cook was the right man for the job I was asked what level of football I had played at.
I really want it to work out for him. But the only thing the Demolition Man is demolishing is his own reputation at the moment.
I thought the alarm bells were ringing from the moment he so publicly threw last year’s squad under the bus. This season things have got in some ways better but we won’t stay in the league (yet alone go up) by playing more attractive football and conceding 5 at home.
Time is running out in more ways than one. |

Thread | Pat Nevin
at 18:44 23 May 2021
Currently reading Pat Nevin’s autobiography “The Accidental Footballer”. He’s always been one of my favourite pundits on 5 Live and obviously I knew about his love of alternative music. (There’s some great bits including where he meets Morrissey.
What I didn’t know was that we nearly signed him. He had a week’s trial and even (as a 17 year old) had a time training with the first time team (where he revelled in a battle with Terry Butcher.) SBR was 50/50 about offering him a contract because, at the time, we had a Gatesy in the team (Nevin was a number 10 at the time rather than a winger). He told Bobby that he wasn’t even sure he wanted to become a professional footballer...... pity as he was a cracking winger. |

Thread | Brit Awards
at 21:44 11 May 2021
Watching this nonsense and find myself turning to Mrs Wickwar and asking repeatedly “WHY HASN’T ED BEEN NOMINATED?!” Before telling her (yet again) that Ed is a “good Suffolk lad”.
Surely a Brit Award would add to shirt sales and help pay Zlatan’s wages when the Three Lions sign him? |

Someone has updated Paul Cook’s Wikipedia entry to say he’s our manager.
Does that make it Def Info? |

Thread | Bontcho
at 17:32 21 Feb 2021
Got to say the Away Days beer is nice. Currently supping Bontcho in front of the Arsenal game and reminiscing about the great man.
His pen vs Mexico was my highlight of USA 94. I was at a military boarding school at the time and the assorted Man U, Liverpool fans couldn’t understand why I was going so potty. (From memory it was about 11:30pm due to the time difference.)
Also Bontcho is referred to in Saint Etienne’s song (cracking band) Teenage Winter:
"Gary can't believe the Claremont Road pitch is going to be covered in executive housing
He talks about the Newcastle game, Boncho's debut"
This laments the building on Hendon's old ground where Bontcho played later in his career. |

Thread | Is John Duncan available?

Bloody hell I’d take him as Manager and Graeme Harbey at full back in a heartbeat compared to the current incumbents. |
