Worthy champions - enjoy! (2 Viewers)

Ipswich fan here but no hesitation in saying you’re worthy champions. Most consistent team in the league and to do that over 46 games without the massive advantage of parachute payments is a great achievement. Enjoy the summer, show your appreciation to the heroes who got you there and enjoy the madness of being linked to and sometimes even signing players for many millions. Some will be crap, none will have a place in your heart like the team of 25/26 will have but it’s great fun. The premier league is horrible but let’s not spoil your summer with that!

Good luck to you all, well nearly all. Not the scum who jumped that Sheffield Wednesday fan, but then every fan base has its morons. Hope to be playing you next season!

They're not fans who did that, probably not even at the game, but also were only kids so hopefully they learn from it.

Not sure your stewards will though as at their age they have no excuse. I wasn't bothered who came up to join us, but after your stewards, the 'we've won 6 points off Cov' trophy and the decisions not only in both our games but the ones you've had for the past few weeks, I pray it's anyone but you to join us.

No offence mind.

Fair enough. I hope you’re glad you got that off your chest!

Disliking our stewards is an odd one but if that’s a reason to dislike us it’s your choice. Not sure there was a “6 points off Coventry” thing from many of us other than as you were top and we needed to keep the gap small they were important wins. We’ve had decisions go for us against you and has soft pens against Norwich and Boro. We’ve had our fair share of bad calls too though. I’ve seen stuff about how many penalties we’ve been awarded. That’s more down to how much time Jaden and Clarke have spent in the box taking players on than anything else. The one decision on our favour that was very lucky was the lino flagging the ball being out when Birmingham scored the other week. The whole ground could see it wasnt. That was very fortunate. It wasn’t our doing though. Who knows we might get a stinker go against us tonight.

Anyway , all the best and Uppa Towen!

Appreciate that, good luck for rest of the season although I am hoping it's Millwall and Hull joining us as I don't think they'll handle the premier league (may be wrong).
Is there anything you wish Ipswich did differently in the summer before the prem, or is it just brutal no matter what ? Seemed from the outside like you built a brilliant championship squad instead of the physical, experienced or foreign talent that likes of Sunderland went for. Just tryna work out how on earth we build a team that can stay up

McKenna got a team of excellent league one/average championship players into the premier league. In hindsight we never stood a chance of staying up. Mistakes were made but the gulf in quality between the two leagues is huge.

What Sunderland have done this year is amazing. Our big name signing, Kelvin Phillips, was average at best for us . Xhaka has been brilliant for Sunderland. Getting your “main” signing right seems to have a big bearing on whether you can stay up.
