    *you're*

    Not that that's the only thing wrong with your comment...

    ME could afford to buy Belgium and paint it purple if he wanted. The guy is MINTED.

    Whether we see any of that cash, however, remains to be seen.

    Evans bought your debt and your club is now paying him an extortionate interest rate on his loan.

    Could the ground be sold to a housing association so they can build starter homes on it?

    Just a thought.

    Good idea, Treacle.

    Or we could charge people to camp on the training pitch, as long as they cleared off an hour before kick off.

    Everybody outside of Norwich thinks - nay, KNOWS - that Ipswich are a bigger and better club. Your smugness is unwarranted.

    Yeah, of course they do.

    As soon as they look at us, our position, our bank balance, our attendances, our media coverage, our players, our City, the first thing they say is "yeah, but they're not as big as or better than Ipswich Town".

    Only the people of Ipswich say that. Nobody else does.

    That's funny, because I've never been to Ipswich in my life, nor have any of my family. I also don't support them (and nor do any of my family).

    Maybe some of us look beyond the bank balance and the club's geographical location, and admire the superior history of ITFC.

    Well, thats what you say.

    Got no interest in Ipswich, apart from there board.

    Got no interest in Ipswich apart from being derogatory about Norwich.

    Got no interest in Ipswich, or is it just a grudge against us? Neutral people just don't write like that.

    I could also say that your only interest in their board is as a fan of their arch-rivals, which somewhat distorts your view of the wider argument over who is the bigger club.

    Ipswich have won the League, the FA Cup and have also had European success in the form of the UEFA Cup. I feel that is a more impressive honours list than a few League Cups. That's unless you awarded yourselves a trophy for that time you apparently beat Bayern Munich, about two decades ago. Actually, scrap that, that wouldn't change my opinion at all.

    Erik, I take it that you are a school kid?

    Seriously though, are you enjoying the Bruce hoofball game?

    I am sure that it suits the knuckle dragging Hull fans enormously.

    An interesting, concerning and slightly sad fact for you. Out of the 20(?) competitive games played by Town, Col U and Norwich this season, Town are the only team to have won.

    Erik, many apologies for the feathered vermin attacks, you see 75 years in our shadow has left them without any social skills and don't know how to react to any tiny little bit of success in a normal human being way!

    apparently they are planning an open top bus tour for Who-ton first league win as manager, unfortunately the bus driver has said that he won't be available because he retires in May.

    Erik is of course dead right and peoples' perception of Norfolk is quite rightly as the most backward place in the UK.

    They are beautifully playing out things just as we expected and blew the chance (as they always do) to have sustained success by failing to back Paul Lambert.

    Ipswich's success is all in the past and isnt likely to be reignited whilst Simon Clegg holds everything back. Norwich have had the better of the last two years (wow) and have had the odd rare season over the last 75 years when they've been higher in the league ladder but it really sums it all up that their argument for 'superiority' doesn't mention football. As for the city itself, the city's own tour guide summed it up as 'the graveyard of ambition' <laugh>

    No.

    <laugh> There hasn't been a single game this season were we've relied on hoofball tactics. We play the ball on the floor.

    Ug! Me make fire!

    Merde! What a pathetic, bitter and childish rant, and this from a moderator!!

    Grow up man, for Heaven's sake.

    I have lived in Suffolk outside of being at Uni all my life, and I have to say that Suffolk, not Norfolk, is easily the most backward place I have ever been to.

    Panto season has started early with the two ugly Ipswich moderator sisters showing up on this one.

    Nice to see you biting on my wind Ups Erik. I think I will be having plenty of fun with you.

    How is Bridlington these days? Hopefully it has fallen into the sea. I doubt anyone will miss it.

    Seeing as all the budgies are camped on here maybe they can tell me why Grant Holt was wearing nipple tape when he came on as a substitute against Newcastle United on Sunday?

    Apologies to Barry Manilow for ripping off his lyrics!

    His name is Holty,
    He was a striker!
    But that was many games ago
    When he used to score some goals!
    But now they've all dried up
    And he's a pig in muck!
    He's lost his youth and his touch
    But who gives a ****!
    Down at the Carra! Carrow Road
    There's no one else to share the load!

    Do the budgies expect an England call up for Holt this season or do they think his age counts against him?
