[Malandro]

Ipswich are on the Beach.

Sizewell, probably.

[The Edge]

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.

[clash city rocker]

I see Ipswich are 9/2 and we are 3/4 today. Don't think i'll be backing us at those short odds.

[preston28]

1-0 win.

[in exile]

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.

[Brend'Watkins]

It doesn't really matter. Suspect this will have all the drama of a preseason game

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.

[Axl Rose]

2-1 to us. Davis with the winner.

[ChicagoLion]

This is a game that will not live long in the memory.

[manic-road]

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).

[Risso]

At the station hotel opposite the ground, in the sun, great day so far.
