    He does that, goes on his board saying we said this and we said that, while infact it's just in his head what he thinks we said.
    A few on here did say they thought Ipswich would fade after Christmas but a few of us argued that we didn't think they would. Yet apparently we ALL arrogantly said they would, according to him and the other idiot.
    They both detest Leeds by their own admission, so trying to get a balanced debate going with either is futile, Ristac tried but yet again his posts were called arrogant. Personally I can't ****ing wait for them to fall flat on their faces

    Well to get promoted, unless you come from the lower divisions then you have to have been relegated. Hardly a badge of honour that is it?

    “It's good to see little clubs challenging the status quo.”

    I took this to mean not to include Leeds United, but if it means Leeds as well then fair play.

    I’d say not a few, but a lot were counting their chickens. Humble voices were in the minority.

    It means I like it when any club outside the big six, or even outside of the premier league, do well and challenge the so called big clubs. Which usually means clubs getting promoted to the prem because no club outside the big six wins any kind of trophy most of the time. That's why I was happy to see Luton go up last season. Unfortunately most smaller clubs that achieve this feat inevitably struggle to maintain it in the long term. Hence "it won't last long". You seem determined to be outraged by anything a Leeds fan says, in which case, **** off back to your own board.

    I don't think any were counting their chickens but will give you the fact around that time most considered Southampton the bigger threat,as it appeared Leicester were out of sight.I know a few on here including myself, thought Ipswich would still be there and perhaps the biggest threat was if you sustained a few mid to long term injuries to key players.

    I wouldn't call Villa or Newcastle small clubs either. I don't think anyone is really challenging the big clubs, except occasionally sneaking into the top four or fleetingly winning the odd trophy or two. To challenge them in any sustained way, commercially a club will have to become a desirable global brand. I don't think it's impossible but it's not going to happen entirely on the pitch. Man City only did it by having utter contempt for financial rules. If there's one thing I'd like to see from Town in the next five years it's building a responsible and sustainable financial model based on a strong academy and having a global appeal by playing thrilling football. League standing next season really doesn't matter. How we go about it does.

    The sad thing is, it’s mainly just two of them, they pop on here, give it all Billy big balls, scurry back to the Ipswich board, brag about how they’ve “popped on here” and then state how we’ve “all” said a load of stuff that’s untrue.

    We must live in their heads totally rent free, so much hatred for Leeds and weird where it’s come from.

    Southampton lost 4/4 against Leicester and Ipswich (13-3 on aggregate), yet beat us 3 times. Funny how it all plays out.

    One of Jeff’s better predictions.

    At least I chose not to bother and saved three figures on the train and ticket. We’re gone. Sticking Exeter in the sat nav now.
