Every time he mentions ‘Gatesy’ or ‘Warky’ you know he’s about to mention it. I never tire of hearing him being so bitter about it.

Terrible broadcaster, I can't believe how many people find the likes of him and Mike Parry listenable.
Last time I went to Ipswich we'd got to our seat to see Luc Nilis sprawled on the pitch in agony. Tomorrow, 1-2. Kodjia with both.
-
I met an Ipswich fan at work yesterday - which was enough for me to like him, surrounded as I am by boring Gooners forever droning on about their team's shortcomings as they wait for Wenger to die.
Anyway, lovely fella, the Ipswich lad. He expects us to win comfortably as, for all his perceived shortcomings, Mick McCartney kept them competitive and apparently there's already been a noticable drop-off in intensity since he said "Fuxk this for a game of soldiers" and left the other week.

What a pearler from Lee though.

Great thread title. 0-2 to the better team in 1981.
-
I'm going for a 1-1 draw because I don 't know if we will rest players ahead of the play offs or stay with a winning team.
-
0-4 Kodjia 2, Grabban and Chester
-
I hope he rotates the squad a little as we are guaranteed play-offs. Rest a few and try a few others in readiness for the two-legged semi and hopeful final.
-
1-0 to the Lions. Kodjia with an absolute belter.

I get the feeling that Snodgrass needs a bit of a rest. I can't see us getting 3rd so we will be 4th, as 5th place cant catch us.

They're not going to have to wait that long eamonn by the looks of it.
-
Kodjia is out tomorrow apparently. Terry could be back. I still think we'll have enough to win. 2-0 Grabban and Onomah.
-
They aint got Sir Bobby , so I don't see the problem. Villa 5 Ipswich 2
-
Who is going to mark Paul Mariner?

Great thread title. 0-2 to the better team in 1981.
I would have extended the thread title to '1981 title winners and 1982 European cup winners v 1981 and 1982 title runners up.' I wonder what their excuse was for blowing the title again in '81-'82 as they don't seem to whine on like that one as much as the year before.
We should be able to beat a team with nothing to play for and with a temporary manager in charge. Especially a temporary manager who sounds like a spellchecker error of somebody trying to spell Brian Clough.
-
The title should have been - Alan Brazil's continued Bitterness V F*** you Alan Brazil.

Blimey, you had me feeling guilty then til I checked the news. Hard to believe he's stepped down of his own accord after all this time.
-
Well, I'm going to the game now, so put us down for a 3-0 loss.
-
Probably the only game where I wouldn't cringe if our fans sang 'Have you won the European Cup?'.
-

Agh, that would be a blow. Had he been fit, I would have rested Snodgrass completely and gone with a front three of Grabban, Davis and Kodjia, with Albert and Hogan on the bench. I know Davis hasnm't featured much recently, but he is the only real target man we have got after Grabban, who has looked better in wide positions over the past few weeks. Would keep the midfield the same as the Leeds game and would be tempted to keep the back four the same as well, with Terry coming off the bench in the closing stages.
Would be nice to end with three wins now as you never know what might happen, but it would mean we would be going into the play offs on a high.

Ipswich are on the Beach.

We will forever owe these bumpkins one for Mick Mills’ weasely behaviour after that famous game at VP. Away win.
If you ever hear John Wark, he's still bitter about it stating that Villa never won it but they lost it!!

Didn’t we win more games that season than any team in any of the divisions?
-
2-1 Villa.

He made Stallone look a good actor in Escape to Victory

2-0 to me villa babies.

The 1-2 ?
what did Mills do?
-
2nd place isn't a mathematical impossibility just yet, is it?
Strongest team should be out. Taylor isn't playing well, so he could be 'rested'.

I know we won three more games and got four more points than Ipswich did. The points gap between us and Ipswich was the same as the points gap between Ipswich and fourth placed West Brom.
We won 26 games, West Ham won 28 to win the second division. Southend won 30 games to win the fourth division but they played four more games than us and West Ham.
-
With the greatest of respect Alan, let it go. If it had been 3 points for win, we would have been out of sight before your Boro debacle.
-
Sorry guys, don't ask me why but I just have feeling Ipswich might nick the win. The pressures off them, our away form isn't the best, and you get funny results this time of the season. 2-1 to the home side. Snodgrass to ours.
-
0-2 in Bosko Jankovic RIP ‘derby’
Snodgrass and Albert to both get back to a little form with a goal apiece

what did Mills do?
If I recall correctly, basically took the piss, telling our lads they’d won the league, blah blah blah. He genuinely believed they’d won the league that night. The fool.

In 1981 Paul Cooper, Kevin Beattie , Russell Osman, John Wark and Kevin O'Callaghan beat the Germans in Escape To Victory.
In 1982 Nigel Spink, Allan Evans, Ken McNaught, Gordon Cowans and Tony Morley beat the Germans in the European Cup final.
In the interest of balance and fairness they should show Escape To Victory on BBC1 every Boxing Day and the 1982 European Cup final on ITV every Boxing Day.

That was the game that prompted
"Do you want to bet against us"
-
Draw
We’re basically guaranteed to finish fourth and that will show, with the priority being sharpness for the play offs
-
Think we'll nick it given Ipswich don't have a manager. Certainly won't be a classic, 0-1 would be my guess off a set piece.
At least Derby and Millwall will have big game feels as looks like we'll be getting 40k for Derby and them and Millwall both have chances of top 6 so I think tomorrow will be a bit of a low key end of season feel and the next two will hopefully get us sharp for the play offs.
-
It doesn't really matter. Suspect this will have all the drama of a preseason game
-
Ipswich are on the Beach.
Sizewell, probably.
-
This is a very important game for us. It's all about form and momentum now. Every player should be busting a gut to be selected. 0-3 to us and do it in style.
-
I see Ipswich are 9/2 and we are 3/4 today. Don't think i'll be backing us at those short odds.
-
1-0 win.

0-2

I agree about the importance of today's game, but I'm not sharing your optimism of a 0-3 victory. I obviously hope you're right, mind - and we don't labour to the bore-draw that I'm predicting.

We are going to win 7 of our next 8 games. We might slip up against Millwall with a draw.

Can't imagine the Ipswich players will be too bothered today. Id give Bree a shot at right back, bring in Davis up front. Snodgrass and Elmo to rest up.
Johnstone, Bree, Jedi, Chester, Taylor, Adamoah, Whelan, Onomoah, Grabban, Grealish, Davis.
-
2-1 to us. Davis with the winner.
-
This is a game that will not live long in the memory.
-
0-3 to us.
-
Alan Brazil’s debut for Manure at old trafford is still a subject of great mirth and gave rise to the expression” couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo”
It was like watching a space hopper with legs in a red shirt.

I like that side Bronte.

Ipswich expecting a large crowd today as they have reduced prices (anyone under 19 in for £1).
-
At the station hotel opposite the ground, in the sun, great day so far.

Couldn't make it today as i'm working. Working near Cleobury Mortimer and it is absolutely pissing down here.
