    Oh no, it worked too... And some of you lot thought Leicester's issues were down to Champs League commitments or the coach etc. The answer was obvious.

    Leicester did well as they had to beat the referee as well, 2 penalty appeals, one 50/50 but the second nailed on were turned down and Derby's keeper should have been red-carded for deliberate hand-ball!

    Oh well, I expect the FA will lose some £30M to £40M of government funding - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38911980
    "Sports Minister Tracey Crouch has warned the FA could lose £30m-£40m of funding if it does not modernise."
    and this was Greg Dykes comment - "You shouldn't underestimate the old men of English football. They've seen off all sorts of people over the years," Dyke told BBC Radio 5 live.

    So the result of the EFP poll re whether or not AN should stay as manager - "Of over 2,000 people casting a vote, 18pc admitted they had been proved wrong but a stubborn 26pc still believe a new man is needed in the hot-seat."
    So that leaves 54% 'on the fence!!!

    I'm still not convinced JM although as has been said countless times, the real problem is with the owners and while they remain so we'll just keep treading water at best.

    I voted for AN to leave, but as you say it's at the top where we HAVE to change if we're to stand ay hope of becoming even a semi established member of the PL and I don't see that happening any time soon.

    An interesting article on Newsnow - http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/op...y-are-the-most-dangerous-team-to-the-top-six/ and I'm quietly confident that we have a reasonable chance of another trip to Wembley!! <ok>

    mega oxymoron alert* <yikes>
    Well, riddled with errors, really.
    'Kings of Anglia'?
    They're 16th, we're 7th and eleven (11) points ahead of them <doh>
    And what's all this fantasy malarkey, just under the main header, about :-
    "Celebrating Ipswich and the beautiful game"?

    Don't the tools that write this dross ever get to see Mick and his woeful hoofball tactics at work?
    Sad stuff.

    Cant remember the score and aggregate score of the last......6-8 meeting between us as well. But that would have been funny to post here!: .........

    Edit-
    12 matches-

    Won: 6
    Drawn: 4
    Lost: 2

    They haven't beaten us in the last 7 matches going back to 2009, when they last beat us.

    I see that Liverpool FC have banned reporters from The Sun newspaper from attending matches at Anfield across all competitions. About time too, who can forget their horrendous lies regarding the Hillsborough tragedy?
