Is this the most ridiculous statement you’ve ever read? Quality BBC work as always.

They were referring to the game against Norwich I’m guessing. They’ve been vastly superior to Norwich this season and sit second in the table.

Yes, that's exactly what they were doing. The full sentence was:

 

"While Ipswich have been the vastly superior side so far this season and remain second in the Championship, they still could not beat their old enemy, with their last win over the Canaries coming in April 2009."

The wet bags on this forum desperate to be the victim and offended are so weird. Acting like we're some mad royalty doing the division a favour by visiting

I’m cautiously confident because I really worry about losing our African contingent at the worst time. Not sure how strong we will be in our game against Ipswich.

just hope the phatts/mavs ans wilf don’t get injured on tour. 😳

Mavididi?.....he's English

Why is it ridiculous? It's on the Ipswich Vs Norwich match report, they're saying that Ipswich have been the vastly superior side over Norwich, which they obviously have done? 

 

Not everything is about us

We’re massive. Every team we play should form a guard of honour as we enter the pitch. It’s frankly outrageous this doesn’t happen, actually.

[Happy Fox]

Wasn’t really impressed with Ipswich yesterday,  that Jonathan Rowe for Norwich is a good player, cheeky bid for him for January?

Massive something maybe

I don't think that's enough personally. Every side should bow down to their opposite number as we walk the ball into the goal uncontested for 90 minutes. They should also then celebrate each goal in the same manner people celebrated the beatles.

Morsy should be at the AFCON with Egypt

Morsy won't play against us in Jan - he's going to be at AFCON himself with Egypt

Had a mare! Let's hope he gets booked against Leeds then.

Perhaps you should take a few minutes and go and lie down for a bit

They’re all sh!te, let’s just get it done and m dusted.

You haven’t. Because there’s every chance he doesn’t get picked by Egypt. He wasn’t selected for the October or November fixtures

Yeah this. Let's get the points record and 8th league title record and get the fvck out of here.

Trying to pick a fight with Ipswich too is silly, a shining light in the football sh*tshow. We should all be wanting them to come up with us (in 2nd).

I don't care who come up as long as we do.

Do we though? 

 

No doubt Ipswich deserve it most and would be great to see how they get on in the PL. But next year's PL is going to be tougher with 3 better teams replacing 3 crap teams. The worse the teams that come up with us, the better chances we have of finishing above them next season, staying up and re-consolidating. I'd fancy our chances much more against Southampton's Rodgers lite, than against McKenna with a PL budget.

Yep - agree with that. 
 

If we were in the Premier League looking on I’d perhaps like to see a team like Ipswich get promoted. 
 

This season they’re all our rivals. We just need to get up and I don’t care who comes with us

I'm surprised how many empty seats there are at the West Brom - Stoke game !!
