    “Ipswich Town! Come in, do come in!” The Championship says excitedly, getting up from his desk to give you a firm handshake. “Hopefully you’re not so eager to leave us this time! How long have you got left at the old place, a few weeks?”

    You nod. There’s a knock on the door. Without waiting for an answer, in walks Norwich - a sickly and short man with wet eyes. He looks drunk, again. Normally this means an attempted, slurred motivational message. You recall a post-season drinks do in 2007 where he’d drunkenly took you to one side and whispered “what does it mean to actually win a trophy? Like, a proper trophy?” On seeing you now, Norwich mutters something and walks out.

    “Looking forward to pitting your wits against him next year? Been a long time since you’ve one-upped him though, hasn’t it?” The Championship says with a sly grin. “Oh think how much fun it'll be with me! No psycho boss. No entitled toffs – well, apart from Oxford and QPR. And you’ll be one of the richer ones, makes a change eh?” You go to say something, but the Championship is on a roll now. “No CCTV cameras watching your every move. No doomed matches against stated-owned competition!”

    After your meeting, the Championship walks you outside the building. There’s a commotion as paramedics rush a stretcher-bound person into the back of an ambulance. The Championship is chuckling nervously. You watch as the ambulance accelerates away, sirens wailing. A discarded Luton scarf lies forgotten, near where the ambulance was parked.

    “Not sure what that was all about.” The Championship says sheepishly, a shark-like smile creeping across his face. “I hope that person is okay.”

    2-1 Town win.

    You are in the wrong line of business Nuggets, few fans I have met are in the creative performing arts!

    Our pride and positivity continue, gotta be a win.

    3-1 Town.

    1-0 down at half time.

    A pretty competitive first period, great header from a corner to give Brentford the lead.

    Huffed and puffed but couldn’t put any of our chances away. Ensisco head and shoulders above the other attackers although Clarke did well when he came in. Delap seems to have regressed since the transfer rumours and we seem to be a better team when Hirst is playing although Delap is the better individual, can’t wait to be shot of VAR and PL refs. Barely a bad tackle in the game today and somehow there were 6 bookings. Hope we can beat West Ham to send us supporters home happy on the last day
