@Lamont D Bad luck yesterday mate in the Carabou cup. It's our turn next Saturday away to Preston being played at Goodison park.

Oh well Dumped out of the League cup on Penalty shoot out. Wouldn't mind but we were 0-1 up and they were 10 men and they equalised 3 mins in stoppage time. Oh well it's only a Micky Mouse cup so onwards to the Wombles next week.

 

[johnboy412000]

2 days and counting. Bring it on.

 

[johnboy412000]

First game of the season and we won 3-0 despite having a man sent off. Well done to Tranmere too. Next up away to MK Dons next week.

A good win at Sunderland last night. We're staying the night up here and travelling back home this Morning.

A great win for Leeds v Newcastle last night! 4-1 Happy Days.
One thing I missed posting on while I was away was ex-gooner Maitland Niles fantastic last minute added time equaliser for Everton v Man United. Lovely goal

 

[johnboy412000]

6 games in to the season and we are in 2nd place. 7 Unbeaten as yet and that includes the Micky Mouse cup win at Donny. So far 3 wins and 3 draws. Our problem has been we somehow fail to hit the target even when the opposition have a man sent off. Still it looks good 1 point and 1 goal behind the Owls. Bradford snapping at our heeels too.

On our way home from Ipswich Carabao cup tie. A great performance by the Arsenal youngsters. 4-2. Dowman was his usual brilliant self but I was also very impressed with Salmon at centre back. Very mature defending from a 16 year old. Julienne and Ibrahim played well too.
Best chant of the night was after Ipswich scored their first goal. We sang 'you're not Tottenham in disguise'

A dismal display from Arsenal at Brighton yesterday. Brighton were excellent, so quick on the ball. They outplayed Arsenal in every position. We never leave before the final whistle but left at 88 mins yesterday to avoid the usual very long wait for the park and ride bus. Having travelled over 1500 miles in the last 12 days we just needed to get home to rest.

Clean sweep for Brighton in Premier league awards. Winning manager of the month,player and goal of the month.
Fantastic start to this season. Really looking forward to the European games.

How come I have just found this. Is their room for a poor Ipswich supporter?
