Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa pre match thread

[Percy McCarthy]

At the risk of being old-fashioned, I think it was quite irresponsible of his parents to name him Killer.

And again!

On the subject of lorry abuse, had a mate years back that was scamming stuff off his mate's HGV and fencing it on. Obviously the company cottoned on and confronted the driver, who legged it off site driving through the barrier gate on the way out and headed home.

The police headed there to find him, which was a bigger problem as they then discovered his cannbis grow room.

Haha!

That Lloyds bank on the island up Lea Hall was once robbed by a bloke who lived in a house about thirty yards away from it, and he ran straight home with the money. He didn’t get away with it.

This Ipswich game is all well and good but we need talk about Bayern. Will there be an 'early' thread like we did for Young Boys of Berne.
I'm ultra excited about Bayern Munich match.

No, we don't talk about Bayern until after Ipswich because injuries, mood etc. can change. One game at at a time is good enough for Unai, it should be good enough for us.

Yet since asking for request of Bayern Munich  I read people talk about being affiliated with Stealing, Drugs and Sexual encounters!!

I clearly pointed out that Killer merely borrowed the lorry for the weekend.

If it hadn’t been for an altercation between Killer and some Ipswich fans, which necessitated the opening of the roller door on the back of the lorry and us lot jumping out to remonstrate with said Tractor Boys on behalf of our friend, which led to the police becoming involved, which led to the licence plate being checked, which meant the firm that owned the lorry was informed, which led to the CCTV at the depot being watched, Killer would almost certainly still work there, model employee such as he was.

Bit annoying this games sunday and notvtoday yhe extra days rest for munich would have been good. Cheers PL

I hope you're talking about the pizza because Demolition Man is great

If it's got pineapple on then I'd have issues with it

Bit late catching up on news but I see McGinn is out for this one. He's been a bit hit and miss this season, so interesting to see how we get on without him.

Irrelevant to this game but I see Mings and Kamara are supposed to be paying with the U21s this week, and all going well will be available for selection after the international break.

[eye digress]

Am sure it’s already been remarked upon, but it’s crazy that this game is being played Sunday and not today.

Yep. It certainly benefits Bayern more than us.

Nice one Premier League.

We're playing on Wednesday so can play on Sunday with a 2 day break. Those playing today and on Tuesday in Europe get the same break. It's standard practice in the PL and has been for years.

[AV82EC]

I’d also suggest Bayern are
Going to be playing slightly better opposition than us today in Bayer Leverkeusen so that negates the extra day imv.

Bayern have an extra days rest before they pla us. That's what I meant.

It’s getting a bit Jürgen Klopp around here

I read McGinn was out for 6-8 weeks, is that correct? Hope not!

[eye digress]

Not really, just common sense. We played Tuesday, so a Saturday game would have spaced out the games evenly before Wednesday. Ipswich didn’t play in the week and play next Saturday.

I see our awkward cousins are at home today - maybe that’s the reason. In which case, priorities have been somewhat twisted.

Otherwise it’s purely a TV issue - but again, it just seems silly.

Yes it is. Though Unai wasn’t sounding too upset about that in his prezza yesterday.
