    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Really?! This is your argument? 😂 Firstly, taking the allegations at face value, no one is really saying Farage didn’t know what he was doing. They just don’t think words said 50 years ago is relevant to today. Secondly, joining a terrorist group and supporting their crimes is a crime and...

    It’s not quite the same thing as someone going to the Middle East and joining ISIS, is it? 😂 No one can actually prove what Farage said but we know Begum did what she did. Dumb whataboutism, next.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Seeing as Farage has been in the public eye for 10+ years now, the timing of these unverifiable allegations strikes me as suspicious to be honest. The electorate writ large accepts that, even if the allegations are true, what people said 50-60 years ago as kids is not really relevant. The...

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Dec

    Agreed. However, we're missing BTA, Wright (50:50), Sakamoto which probably means that we'll end up playing a variation of 5-3-2 even if we don't start with it. I'm leaning towards naming an unchanged team to start and finishing the game playing 5-3-2/3-4-3 and it depends on Rudoni's fitness imo.

    Match Thread Ipswich Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 6th Dec

    There’s a chance of it because Ipswich have struggled against teams that play 3 CBs and wing backs. A quick scan shows the only team playing 5 defenders is Swansea. They’ve played Bristol, PNE, Charlton, Blackburn, Wrexham, Derby, Southampton and even Bromley. Whilst they’ve won 1 win in 9...

    Transfer Rumour Keyan Varela

    It is a great find, but has taken him a while to adapt and looking ahead to this window, any signings need to hit the ground running.

    Southampton tickets.

    Two cracking away days to start the New Year though! If we go up this season, the memories we’ll all make is priceless. The 4-2 v Boro was probably the best away game since Wolves in the FA Cup! I’ve had my sanity questioned for Doing Boro, Ipswich and PNE in consecutive away games!

    The BoE is warning against hedge funds snapping up UK debt… what could possibly go wrong?

    Mutually Assured Destruction

    I agree that should, but looking at most historical season, there’s a clear Top 3 followed by another 2-3 teams that are separate by 1-3 points. Why not guarantee Top 3 for UCL and if the FA Cup is won by an automatic qualifier, it roles to 4th place. If the winner is outside that, they get the...

    I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure. AI slop seems to indicate 'yes' but I'd take that with a pinch of salt. A big issue with the Prem is that it's a league of 'have and have nots', if you not fighting for survival or the Top 8, you're bobbing along really. The big incentive of a UCL place for...

    Mutually Assured Destruction

    Exactly, there's only been a few instances in recent years where a non-top 4 team have won it: Palace - 24/25 Leicester - 20/21 - this would've been a UCL shootout Arsenal - 19/20 Chelsea 17/18 Winner gets UCL, runner up get Europa league if applicable. Even the winners are generally 5-8th if...

    Doug King TalkSport Interview

    Every interview he has, he always comes across well. Even when it comes to defending unpopular decisions like ticket prices or sacking Robins. The club appears to be in safe hands and making sound decisions. Hopefully we have a go in the Jan transfer market to secure promotion and hopefully...

    Mutually Assured Destruction

    It's the same the EFL Cup too, fans are voting with their feet and treating these games as second class because in truth, they are. If they scrapped the EFL Cup next season, fans won't shed a tear. Winning the FA Cup in 23/24 would've been legendary and better than winning promotion that season...

    Southampton tickets.

    Games leading up to Xmas tend to be a struggle for a lot of people. All in, this trip will cost me £60 already which, with Xmas in mind, could be several £10-20 cards for family/friends. This should sell out but can certainly see it going to general sale too and for everyone moaning about a...

    Video Ellis Simms talksport interview

    There was an element of people choosing to overlook some of the intangible things that our strikers did. For example, one of the reasons Rudoni scored so headers is because our strikers were really good at committing defenders which created space for players like Rudoni (and now) Eccles to...

    Video Ellis Simms talksport interview

    That's exactly the point. We'd all recognise that Rudoni has had injury issues and that all feeds into his form. As a whole, football fans are the least generous to strikers. Thinking ahead to a full strength team, I'm not sure how you fit everyone in because Rudoni is a bang on starter for me...

    Video Ellis Simms talksport interview

    Simms just had a bad season last year where he massively underperformed his xG. That's something he clearly needed to take accountability for and needed to improve on to continue his career with us. Even though he was "abject", he probably still should've scored 10+ goals so only a small uptick...

    Potential summer signings from the Championship

    Sign the best players available, competition for players is so fierce in the Prem. Personally, I couldn’t see us signing anyone for more than £20m. Presuming we got there!

    Depends on how the Jan window goes. If the squad is still thin, sod the FA Cup off.
