Went straight from the Ipswich match across to Norwich to see Mercury Rev. Mesmeric.

After the red card Ipswich were down to 11 men ! There were more follow through’s than curry night at Wetherspoons, he missed the lot apart from Phillips 2nd card. Absolute homer, gave them everything.

Ipswich will see this as a “can-win”, not quite last chance saloon but the one pivotal weekend they’ve been waiting for in context with recent form and the not reflective results. I see their potential full on assault suiting us on the quick break. It’ll be mayhem, it’ll be 2-2, I’d take that right now.

After wasting over an hour pressing the red button and resetting the Sky box I’ve finally googled the problem to find this mega hyped match choice isn’t compatible with my Sky Plus box . Stop f***ing pushing it as being available without a footnote then. Used to get red button access but this is a new fangled streaming app apparently not understood by my museum piece (Don’t want to upgrade as I have loads of 2016 stuff saved on it.) Am I missing much

Yes indeed, it promises to concede goals, promises to struggle to get out of it's own half, promises to invite pressure, promises to trouble their penalty box........

A clown in goal, a bomb scare at right back, a midfielder who looks like he doesn't give a s**t, an ineffective lukewarm left winger, an "in from the cold / frozen" Luke Thomas and a centre forward who just huffs and puffs and wins fouls, what could possibly go wrong

Back in the day I was a gross fatty who ate far too much, just thinking about it makes me queasy. Over indulgence at Christmas isn't unique to me I know but I realise now how much I was asking of my body to process the random combination of foods in such large quantities in such a time frame. Christmas Eve I'd be having my buffet tea, Pork Pies, Gammon rolls, cocktail sausages, sausage rolls, Cheese and biscuits, twiglets (I know, the luxury of the fazzyfox home), still eating it at 1 A.M. A morning breakfast of more meaty rolls, sausage rolls & croissant, a mid morning pot of strong coffee (which my guts are not used to) chocolate mints and mince pie, then snacking on Chocolate Orange, Tube of jelly tots down in one (my party piece), a large full roast dinner, a night time tea of more meaty rolls, crisps, christmas cake and more washed down with cider and champagne. Then boxing day half an hour before a plate of Baked Potatoes, cold meats, cheeses and pork pies is due to be consumed I get that "meat sweat", something says "You cannot consume one more molecule of food until...", a strange fluctuation of temperatures and a giddiness bordering on feinting, a feeling that a boxer has punched me in the stomach and a nosebleed sensation, I realise it's the time.......The Boxing Day Poo. Sat on the Loo, one foot on the wall one on the ceiling in a kind of annual (or anal) yoga ritual, shouting "heave", mopping the brow with towels, considering calling for stirrups, pain like I've never known (I thought I'd eaten the chocolate Orange in individual pieces...apparently not and it's stuck. Behind the Jelly Tots. Then braced for the worst bit, it comes and keeps coming, and keeps coming...why no splash, the sensation afterwards such a contrast to the pain. You look down and this coiled snake filling the pan looks back up at you, the room stinks of a strange combination of Turkey, Gammon, Mint, Orange, Coffee, Coventry Bus Station and fermented eggs, strange as they weren't involved, you look in the mirror and you look pale and sweaty like you've run a marathon. One year I weighed myself before and after, something like 6 pounds difference, how much was poo how much was perspiration loss I don't know.

GOAT !!!!!!

Only that low whilst Patson's out of action though, when he's available half of Zambia make a daily visit to the sites to question why we're not building a team around the second coming of Pele.

FAB? Six seems too many, four has more of a ring(o) to it. And do they each get a free ice lolly with chocolate and sprinkles on?

Concerned that we conceded twice to that mob as we have much tougher to face but hey forget that for now, an away win in this league, two wins on the trot, Benny’s goal scoring, scoring three away from home, the return of the Fat, it’s…..

Three points and Southamptons morale left as flat as a pancake that Mandy Dingle has sat on. Poifect!

Where did all that Coopie time come from. Play til we score? I likes this

Sooo that’s what he does! Are-you still going to criticise him now?

GAME ON !

Can someone please:- a) Get him to fall for a local lass b) Get hooked on Crusty Cobs like what you can’t get down south c) Introduce him to the Pantheon of retail that is the Haymarket Shopping Centre oh and find a way of spending a huge fee that doesn’t mess up our ffp.

Thought Winks passing was very sloppy vs Arsenal, if this enabled Skipp, Wilf, Buananotte then Fatawu RW then fine but Ayew

No Winks

The over riding things I got from watching Bournemouth last week were the way (backed by stats) they break on you at pace, coming out like the Cavalry in Red Arrows on acid, frightening and therefore essentially important to get the first goal. Secondly though some encouragement as second half a poor Southampton side managed to get in, around and behind them and have plenty of the game so they’re there for the taking. 100% crucial that we get behind them from the start, Cooper will make that harder by handing in the wrong team sheet but be realistic about that he won’t be subbing anyone off first half so back the boys who are out there. We don’t see them in training but give me Fatawu’s infectious ambition and enthusiasm over Ayew and Reid’s experience any day, we need more than a bit of tidy link up play if you’re one of only three or four offensive players out there, every one of those needs a spark and an X Factor about them, they need to look like they could score or assist every time they attack, being a professional journeyman is not enough.

Fernandes sent off twice in 5 days Do they call that Rat-a-two-ey ?

Oh yes , it has been a long time coming but todays the day Rat boy gets his punishment, lots and lots of close ups on him please SKY.

There I was, nice and calm, seats available on the screen, selected one and then a pop up filled about 85% of the screen advertising home game hospitality! My gritty waking up eyes couldn't locate the cross to close it on the phone screen, by the time I did it was sold out. FURIOUS. What a time to throw in an advert, I turned into Alf off of Home & Away but apparently shouting at it doesn't make it disappear! Flaming tin pot, mickey mouse Galahs! . Gutted as it's just down the road from me, goes without saying please keep me in mind there are if any spares / dropouts.

Great timing!

Appropriate as he played like one in the relegation season
