Ipswich Town just need a point on Saturday now to be back in the PL after 20 odd years.
No parachute payments, spent just £4.7m in the past 2 seasons, shrewd loan deals, clear philosophy, terrific manager, front foot, expansive style, losing just 10 games last 2 seasons. Back-to-back promotions from League One.
As near as you’ll get to modern football romance. And a finger in the eye of those runts at Sky Sports who've spent all season wanking off Leeds and televising like 98% of their games. I hope they absolutely shit themselves in the playoffs like usual
Hull City fan in peace. Was a cracking game against them on Saturday night. Best of luck Tractor Boys UTT

I hope they don't get promoted because I don't want to see the cameramen and commentators wanking off to Ed Sheeran in the crowd every other week.

Norwich going up would be good, or West Brom. Get a proper Derby in the Prem.
>last game is against already relegated huddersfield
lmfao. leeds on the ropes
uh, da Udders aren't (technically) relegated yet are they? just a wee 15 goal swing..
I bet Ed Sheeran wish he bought equity in the club instead of a lousy shirt sponsorship deal.
So you’re saying to put a max bet on the Ipswich/draw double chance?
For me, it's Jim Magilton
For me? Its Mick Stockwell
The only Ipswich player that I remember is “Titus Bramble” — possibly the worst defender in premier league history
Now that's a crisp looking kit.
Tony Mowbray
Martijn Reuser
Richard Wright
Finidi George
For me, it's Tamás Priskin
Back to back promotions is insanely based, very happy for them after quite a long stay in League One. Thank frick >we managed it in the 2nd season, taking over garden sheds like Vale Park was fun but the novelty of definitely wore off.

Based. Frick Sky, frick Leeds. Hope Ipswich can do it and Leeds lose the playoffs.
ya but what does their stadium food look like?
Lincoln fan. Hope Ipswich go up, they've got a GOAT crest and SOVL. We've had some good games the past few seasons, especially in the FA CUP.
Portman Pie is pretty good
I remember when Portman Road was full of prostitutes
based lad,
I remember meeting your mum there
Nice to finally meet you Dad. You owe us a lot in child support payments
Oh yay we get another le fairy tale shitter who gets 25 points and goes straight back
>4.7M£
Well, enjoy your one season in the epl with a goal deferential of -56
We genuinely need to put something in place to stop these shit clubs coming up with no intention of surviving, and just sucking up money for a year before fricking off. It's bad for the league and a waste of everybody else's time
>Hullanon being based once again
Hull anon is a moron that rates Mainoo, Shaw and Maguire.
Cant wait for them to get rinsed every week, become the divisions whipping boys and be down by christmas
Lutonman will evolve into Ipswichman.
For me, it's Boncho Guentchev
>team promoted just for haaland to stat pad against
Based
I like them because their badge is a rook combined with a knight
Proper club, Ipswich. Nice to see them doing well again. They'll probably get battered next season, assuming they DO go up, but it's clubs like this that bring soul to the EPL.
1981 UEFA Cup winners
They’ll get promoted, overpay for a load of foreign ngubus from the French league, and then go straight back down
I’ll never understand how you guys defend this. Almost every team that gets promoted immediately gets relegated the following season. Leicester won the league, arguably the biggest moment in English soccer history, and they just got promoted again. There should be a rule that if you win the league you can’t get relegated for 10 years.
Also the c**t teams like Liverpool, arsenal, and man united should be forced to be relegated. I barely even watch soccer and can’t stand their homosexual fans.
>relegation immunity
American sports moment.
>There should be a rule that if you win the league you can’t get relegated for 10 years
>but also relegate three league champions, one of which was within the last 10 years
Make it so you can only have 2 foreigners per team.
Frick hues, frick ngubus.
Based, European leagues and football as a whole got worse after Bosman rule.
>There should be a rule that if you win the league you can’t get relegated for 10 years.
This would result in only 10 teams being eligible for relegation - most likely the top teams. Meanwhile shite like Cardiff and Reading would have spent most of the last decade at 19th/20th with 0 points, without being allowed to be relegated.
>people underestimating Kieran McKenna
That Ipswich squad is midtable at best. What he has done at Portman Road is absolutely incredible. They'll stay up if they go up.
Another pointless little club that will go straight back down, the sooner we make the Prem a closed shop for big teams only the better.
For me it's Norwich.
None of the promoted teams will go down next season, Leicester, Ipswich or Leeds
Instead it'll be Brentford, Fulham (Trust me bro) and whoever stays up out of Luton, Forest and Burnley
I don’t trust Leicester with their bald fraud manager
Brentford will not go down under Frank, the danes will not allow it to happen.
>And a finger in the eye of those runts at Sky Sports who've spent all season wanking off Leeds and televising like 98% of their games. I hope they absolutely shit themselves in the playoffs like usual
Caring more about Leeds than your own team, sad
>Being this upset that Leeds are a big draw.
They're wanking off Leeds because they make money off them. They pull in numbers like no other championship side. It's probably in their best interests that they stay down in the championship.
Replied to the wrong post. Fricking nightmare.
The definition of SOUL for teams promoted to the Prem just seems to be "how long has it been since they were in the Prem?". They're SOUL now but when they get relegated and come back all of a sudden it'll be >boring yoyo team waste of a spot frick them I wish Preston would come up
corr imagine them in the prem losing every week, sacking their manager by Christmas and being relegated shortly thereafter.
Fairytale stuff.
>shrewd loan deals
so they’re fricked then, like Burnley they won’t be able to get their best players back
Unlike Burnley they haven't been reliant on loans in every position.
>Coming up with 0 interest in surviving and just wanting to suck up money for their rich owner is le heckin soul
Absolutely backwards mindset to the point you only see football as balance sheets.
That's what the promoted clubs like Ipswich are doing
Thats the exact opposite of why teams that don't spend much upon promotion don't spend. If they had a rich owner they'd behave like Forest.
Idea: Club needs above certain revenue for auto promotion to PL, if they don't then they have to beat the relegated PL team to prove they're a worthwhile addition to the PL
Idea: You have a nice day
Where would you set the limit?
Ipswich 🙂
and Fortuna 😀
Why do plastics snivel and seethe when something goes against their TV-influenced perception of how football should be?
You have no mates. You have no away days. You are a product of twisted marketing. You will never be a real football supporter.
>Why do plastics snivel and seethe when something goes against their TV-influenced perception of how football should be?
Unironically autism
Snivelling and seething is the plastic MO. Imagine imagining you "support" a club because you saw them win trophies on the telly and spend cuck bucks on overpriced t-shirts? A truly wretched existence.
>Your Ipswich's, your Derby's, your Sunderland's.
fricking hell you are some bender aren't you?
Looking forward to the Sir Bobby Robson derby next season.
FC PORTO STANDS WITH ITS IPSWICH BROTHERS AND WISHES TO FACE THEM IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE!
Blessed post
Utter bollocks
For me it's entitled Leeds fans crying: https://twitter.com/LUFC_Duffy/status/1785399367286784160
>How has luck like this lasted a full season. Absolutely unreal.
Notice that non of the Championship teams who got promoted last season even bothered to try and stay in the division? spending almost no money in the transfer window. Why?
Because it’s more-financially rewarding for owners of promoted championship-teams to make cheap loan deals, resign yourself to relegation, and then take the huge “parachute payment” (aka the broadcast deal) that the relegated-teams are rewarded with — which of course, the owners then pocket most of it for themselves as a “bonus”
The whole things a scam lol
Absolutely no owner does this. Delia Smith has not pocketed millions from Norwich's forays into the Prem.
Burnley spent upwards of £100 million. Granted they bought shitters like James Trafford. Luton bought players where in the event they go down they have a competitive Championship squad to fight for promotion again. Sheffield United are the ones that didn't improve their squad if anything they have a weaker squad than in the championship and used the Prem money just to avoid financial collapse.
You are genuinely moronic
will be based watching ipswich get battered by complete shite like palace and brighton next season then reading all the seething posts from all the new jf bandwagoners
HEY GUYS
GUYS
DID YOU KNOW I SUPPORT A LOWER LEAGUE TEAM??? UPBOATS TO THE RIGHT PLEAAE
>t. Arsenal bandwagoner
Your dad hates you
