Ipswich v Reading - Match thread

[Norfolk Royal]

At least we know what our chairman looks like. Has anyone seen Marcus Evans yet?

[kwik-silva]

Oh and do you Reading fans have any songs to sing or do you just clap?

Sometimes we drum as well.

BANG BANG
clap clap

Yep, lots of banging

[Victor Meldrew]

Ipswich are a very average team who we made look good today because we played so poorly. You're mid-table at best mate. Having said that, so are we on that showing. You'll finish below Norwich as well.

So your saying that Charlton are also average? Because last season they were VERY average and still are VERY average, its a common theme in this league you see.

But if you insist on calling us average and predict mid table for us, then I will say that your are horrendous and are relegation fodder. You haven't the squad to dramatically change things around because your dear beloved chairman would rather buy Bentleys and build new houses for himself than invest in his squad.

For what it's worth I think both teams will finish around mid-table because both are reasonable at home and f*****g useless and spineless away.
With Naylor as joint centre-back Ipswich will give away goals to bigger teams.
I was impressed today with Walters and Garvan plays a simple passing game well but Counago is still the diving cheat that he has always been.
Isn't life grand in The Chapionship?
This time last year we had drawn at Man Utd and beaten Everton-now we have drawn at Forest and lost to Ipswich and lost 3 of our best players.
What a difference a year makes.

[Muskrat]

The reason I did it was because I was frustrated and angry and could no longer bear to watch us struggling against a very average Ipswich team who had yet to win at home this season.

Very average Ipswich side? The same Ipswich side that lost 2 games at home all last season with limited investment? So with Ipswich being average that must make Reading very poor.

I'll add my 2p from an Ipswich supporters view.

Shane Long is horrendous.
Kebe looks fairly decent
Doyle, suggestions that he is worth £7.5 million he is dogshit, totally overated same for S Hunt the gypo twat.
Hahneman is fat and doesn't seem to be able to hold onto a ball.
Armstrong, so glad we didn't buy him very average.
Harper I thought was supposed be a midfield master, Owen Garvan made him look ridiculous

Oh and do you Reading fans have any songs to sing or do you just clap?

Your glory time is over, you can see it falling away with each game along with your attendances. If you keep under performing I can see Coppell walking away like he normally does.

It's a shame this had to degenerate into vitriol because your basic point is correct.

Reading are average.

Ipswich are also average.

Time we both got used to the idea I reckon.

[Barry the bird boggler]

That was more dreadful rubbish away from home.

So far all we've beaten are two poor sides at home, while failing to get anything more than a point from three average sides away from home. This is not a team that is going to be troubling the top of the table this season.

You pay for what you get, and boy are we paying for what we've got.

[juanpablo]

Alex Pearce is not the immediate answer at the back imo


maybe in the future but not this season

So that is your balanced view then is it?


As a matter of interest, can you list the 'normal walk aways' that Coppell has done?

Blimey, let it ALL out Mister.
Fat, Roma, and average, well I never.

Francesco Totti?!? What does he have to do with this?

[Alan Partridge]

Can I just ask, we get quite a few visitng fans on here that are usually good for some BANTer or have some opinions worth reading, but why oh why is every Ipswich fan that comes on here a complete twat?

To be fair, an Ipswich fan would have plenty of experience of what a badly run football club looks like.

[Ojc]

Shite? Hahhahahaha, yes that's right mate absolute shite, so shite that we beat you convincingly 2-0, should have been more.

If you think they have always been shite, let me point out a few facts for you ignorant Reading plastic fans.

1 FA Cup
1 Uefa Cup
1 League Title

2 x most succesful England managers

Recent Uefa Cup run, along with a 1-0 home with against Inter Milan

Please list Reading's achievments.

Ricky Gervais. Beat that.

Fair cop really.

FWIW Owen Garvan looked IMO as good a midfielder that have seen in this division. How old is he?

[Norfolk Royal]

It's a fair cop historically but we have been more successful in recent years than Ipswich, fact. Time moves on.

We will finish above them again this year, no doubt about that.
