For all you Ipswich trolls that spend most of your time on here, DON'T shoot the messenger! I'm only passing it on http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ch-town-and-everything-they-stand-for/page/11
http://www.greenun24.co.uk/home/canaries_crushed_we_launch_countdown_to_norwich_city_relegation_1_926369 ... I'd completely forgotten about this...
Maybe I´m getting, or have probably got, old, but don´t you think this taunting starts to wear thin after a while. This is only about the umpteenth time that James Kent has come up with this sort of thing, you´d have thought he might have found something a bit more inspirational to write about, after all there´s been plenty of choice.
Looks like I am joining you in the age stakes RBF. Totally agree. It's that kind of thing IMHO, that turns banter into something worse, and causes problems where, there aren't really any.
james kent claims he's a journalist. he's a bloody awful one if he is! surprised he's not working for the sun...
We hate them because they have a good youth set-up That's about the only thing I respect about them. They have always brought through good players, although I would like to remind James Kent, that we also have produced our fair share of talent over the years.
This so called journo must be hard up for a serious news story! I don't care enough to hate Norwich. So long as there is one of us representing East Anglia in the top league. Banter aside yes I would much prefer us to be in the premiership but I hope that one day we will be playing the old farm derby in the top league. Our rivalry is as good (or bad) as any of the other big rivalries in this country and there is no doubt that you have raised the bar for us to aspire to.
Exactly what JWM says, seems to me this Journo (loose term) has a massive chip on his shoulder and seems to me more jealously of what we have or did have, rather than a justified reason to hate somebody. BTW epic fail by your leader at having dig at us!
i think best to ignore james kent. he talks crap on most articles i've ever read by him and even when he says something i agree with its only cos it was a bleedin' obvious point he was making. there is clearly only one reason to hate ipswich... all those bloody trophies they won...
Can't argue with those well-balanced sentiments. Would love to have the derby back and certainly don't want us to be relegated to achieve this. Why would I want yet more teams from London/Birmingham/The North-East/West in the top league when we could have our derby back. Yes we follow our team and enjoy the banter in the office when Ipswich fail but I for one would prefer both up in the big league as long as we get a minimum of 4 points from you and finish at least one place above!
This is just not very good is it really? As for the youth set up... we don't even have a youth set up to envy anymore! The reason you should hate us is that although you have the upper hand at the moment you still have a long way to go to match our achievements. There, it took about three lines!
actually, the only reason to hate ipswich is because they are our local rivals - our only local rivals. norfolk v suffolk, city v town. thats all there is to it. two lines!!
The reason I hate Norwich is that arrogance with nothing to ever back it up with and the constant need for recognition.
i think you'll find that the ONLY team who can be arrogant in our rivalry is the one who has the upper hand at the time. three years ago you could mock us - boots on the other foot now. thats how rivalry works. when you suggest we have nothing to back it up with, for some reason you are referring to something that happened 30+ years ago. surely the only thing that is relavant is what happened this week and this season, in which case we have plenty to back it up with - you have nothing.
