Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.............. This does keep popping into my mind to be fair. But surely the players and coaches have learnt from that experience? And that was the single biggest day of that clubs life, with 5k fans there and something (a massive something) to play for. Still keeps popping into my head though! |

Bizarrely, that’s actually a better record than I was expecting. Sh1t, something else to feed my wobble thoughts……… |

Should have held it, really. And immediately started an attack that led to a goal. Apart from that, it was ok. |

Hey, I know, we should have a 5 a side knockabout before a game. Get all us old, used to be decent, could have made it you know, now got dodgy knees TWTD forum dwellers to have a run about. Hire a pitch, turn up, pick teams, off we go!! |
| Forum Reply | Who is, or was, the best footballer on here.......? at 11:57 11 Apr 2024
Played for Bury St Edmunds reserves at my height in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Was a decent level back then and used to get a little bit of cash in the pocket for expenses. The first team had some very decent footballers: some that were obviously extremely talented and had been with various clubs, but for whatever reason dropped down the leagues. When I trained with the first team lads it made me realise that I wasn’t the great footballer I thought I was. I worked hard, but didn’t have the talent. Used to p1ss me off seeing how good some of the players were, but their attitudes stank. I used to wish I could have some of their talent to go with my lungs! Then I discovered raves, drugs, clubs……and the rest is history (that history being me minus football, but having the best days of my life!!). I still play 5 a side despite being in my mid fifties and enjoy it. |

Opposition teams have figured us out as the season has gone on. Plus we are probably slightly more willing to cross it into the box looking for Big Kiefs noggin. |

I still have my unused ticket for Nirvana's gig at the Aston Villa Leisure Centre, which was to take place on 30/03/94. He had gone back to the US after overdosing in Italy (I think) a few weeks before. Held on to the ticket as initially thought it would be rescheduled for later in the year. Then got the news. Nevermind meant a lot to me at the time. Sometimes albums come along and they make this connection with you that is impossible to fully explain. They just come along and become your inseparable friend for a while. Nevermind was one of those. RIP Kurt. |
| Forum Reply | What we learned v Southampton at 11:47 2 Apr 2024
We have a tough run in: 4 of our last games against teams in the top 10, with 3 of those away (and I can’t see us getting much out of the scummers, as they have the luck over us) and our final game against a team possibly scrapping for their lives. But, but, but, we keep proving people wrong. And I do think that Leicester and Leeds have that added pressure of expectation on them. And the booing was completely for the ref. |

He is very different to Moore, in that his control under pressure is currently not great, so he just couldn’t seem to get the ball to stick with his back to goal, so we lose that outlet. But he has got an engine on him and you can see that he is slowly being moulded into how KM wants his front man to play. Good pace to him. I think he is still very raw, but he’ll get better, and his energy definitely contributed to the crowd being lifted. |

I’m in the SAR upper, and it is usually relatively reserved in that stand. My god, when that third one went in there were people falling over seats, hugging strangers, screaming like their heads were about to explode……..wonderful, beautiful Portman Road! I was celebrating so hard I went all light headed! A man my age should really behave better…..actually, fvck it, that was magical and I’d do it all again! What a team we have. All the years of dross and decay, and now this! |

Exactly this. Let the focus and the pressure remain on the “big” teams. Suits us I reckon. |

Good luck to big Kieff and Broady, but I kind of also hate it when our chaps play internationals now, as I’m so worried they’ll get injured! Please be gentle to our boys you nice, friendly Polish lads. Imagine Big Kieff getting a bad knock……aarrrgghh, I can’t bear it!! |

The US owners are moving the club to Portland, Oregon - it's not a mistake, just a sneaky way of breaking the news |

D1ckhead. Apart from today, what’s your evidence over the season? |
| Forum Reply | Can't remember this feeling! at 15:18 9 Mar 2024
I don’t feel angry, and I was there. A team of heroes still in my eyes. Agree there is much, much credit in the bank. It’s not going to be perfect every game. If anyone is angry at this team they should p1ss off, go to a dark room and grow up. |
