A few seasons ago, when Ipswich had nothing but pride to play for, the Derby game meant everything, and revenge would be oh so sweet. Yet here today, with a top 6 place at stake (possibly the chance of top 2) the 'derby' has become meaningless to Ipswich fans and it's all about 'just another 3 points'.
And you wonder why none of us believe this spin you guys are putting on this game?
I know for certain that should Ipswich win, I will return the 'just 3 points' in kind, and any local bragging rights will be instantly dismissed
As I said though, the derby matches are hyped up by the fans and 'locals'. It is after all just another match and when you take away any tribal mudslinging it is just as crucial Norwich V Rotherham. It is the same premise as scoring a worldy of a goal ala Ronaldo and scoring a scrappy finish from Holt, they both count for 1!
Ofcourse, I would love us to win, as I would every single game, but I think the emotional element is often separate to the match and takes place in the stands. Mick's approach is methodical and keeps the squad completely level throughout the season. As my point above about everything is consistent regardless of the situation

the reason we're not buying it is because we know full well what your reaction will be if you win!

You know it mate,if the binners win these two ttwats will be all over this board like a rash.The proof will come soon enough, if the worst happens for us.
You most certainly are.Aren't we already?

You'd already ticked it off as a definite win in another section Rob, at least be consistent

To be honest im not going to predict a score as I just hant got a clue how its going to pan out.We will be obvious favourites but I dont get or like the confidence on some sights ive seen.
Thats the thing with derbys,they are not enjoyable at all until you go a couple of goals clear the rest is nailbiting head in the lap stuff. The last derby I was really convinced we would stuff you was actually the 1-5,the rest I dont bother predicting.

Yes I am.You're a good bloke Crowey
However if we do win I shall be taking the piss
oh no no no no no crowy, you must say Norwich will win.
Its the rule of Rob you know!
either way, what a weekend we are in store for!
I thought I'd take a look at the Binner board to see what they were saying about the match. I hadn't appreciated just what an elephant's graveyard that part of not606 is.
Anyway, turns out that there are two principle topics of conversation - (1) the Derby (2) me.
It was surreal to say the very least.
