I have a four hour drive ahead of me to Ipswich this evening. I’m thinking I may listen to a soundtrack of whale noises and meditation music to try and calm me down. Just a tad nervous. |

I’m glad he’s relaxed. If I had to describe my mood it would be hysterically anxious. |

Thread | Plans to get to the game…. What have I forgotten?
at 15:29 1 May 2024
1. Managed to get a ticket in the away end via an old friend.
2. My car is off the road so I’ve booked a hire car to travel from Gloucestershire to Ipswich on Friday night.
3. It’s a Bank Hol weekend so I didn’t want to risk travelling on Saturday morning…. So I’ve booked a hotel 10 mins walk from PR.
Plan is to go for a run, say a prayer at the statues, buy some merch, stick the merch in the car and then sit in the Huddersfield end not giving myself away. Based on my behaviour watching last night’s game this won’t be an issue as I sat in pained silence leading to my wife asking “are you having a stroke?”
I’ve tried to minimise any possibility of the universe conspiring to prevent me from getting to Portman Road on Saturday. What have I forgotten? Maybe I shouldn’t go for that run, Sod’s Law I’ll have a heart attack and miss the game! |

Thread | Town fans in the Huddersfield end….
at 19:56 29 Apr 2024
If hypothetically a Town fan had managed to get himself a ticket in the Huddersfield end is there a special signal he could give to other Town fans? Blue carnation, a special handshake?
I suspect there may be a few?

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. |

I didn’t mean to down vote this and now can’t work out how to reverse it. I’m not some niche Graham Harbey fan…. I remember him, he was bloody awful! |

Shaky Milton away at Barnsley in 1996. 85 mins gone 3-0 down. Five mins later thanks to two “Ian, IAN Marshall” goals and Shaky it finished 3-3.
That and Reuser at Wembley.

Are you sufficiently hydrated? I suffer from them really badly if it’s warm/I’m dehydrated and if I then do exercise. I now know the circumstances that set them off. |

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? |

Not sure anywhere on web/social media is the right place for nuance and I’ve learnt my lesson!
It feels a bit like if you don’t 100% think [insert ITFC player or Manager] is the best thing since sliced bread then you don’t know anything about football/aren’t a “true” Town fan - but this only applies when we’ve won or are doing well.
The reverse happens if we’ve struggling. To defend a Town player/Manager results in similar “you know nothing about football” feedback.
For the record Morsy played really well yesterday. And yes, his approach is probably what is needed at times in L1. I hope we keep up the solid start and he maintains his Egyptian King status all season long…… but I shall have a little smile to myself* if he attracts criticism for disciplinary record on this forum later in the season.
*This does not mean I will be happy if our skipper is banned! |

Yes, you are quite right. I’m no longer a Town fan. Hope life remains nice and straightforward for you and you never have to face a scenario where your loyalties are tested.
Blackburn Rovers fans despise Morsy - that took about 2 mins research.
I’m not saying he isn’t a good player. I think he performs a vital role just that he is pretty cynical at times. |
