Re: Is 23years too long to hold a grudge?
I hold grudges from before I was born, so no, 23 years isn't too long, however it is terrifying that all that was 23 years ago! It is nice to know we're still upsetting someone deserving though, or perhaps they're just agitated because they know we're going to take 6pts off City next season??hallamblue wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 8:04 amJust seen this on twtd about how some Man City fans still hate lil ole Ipswich fans for something … un ber liable ….

Saw this earlier on twtd and had to laugh. Obviously teams ending in the name City are starting to worry about little old Ipswich!

What a bunch of morons, I bet most of them talking the talk weren't even born back then, hopefully they implode and crawl back to being a nothing team like they were back then.

Re: Is 23years too long to hold a grudge?
Went up to Maine Road for a league cup tie back in 2000 and the game was abandoned after about 20 minutes. Coming out of the ground some of their idiots were shouting at us “same old Ipswich always cheating”. We replied “ yeah of course we love coming all the way up here just to see 20 minutes of football”. Went back a week later for the re-scheduled game and Town won 2-1.
Really enjoyed that one especially as it shut the pricks up.

Never truer words. Thats exactly what they are.
A nothing team with a squillion bucks of oil dough in the bank.
The ultimate goal owning this “play thing” was the Champions League …….. thats been achieved. Hopefully they get bored now and leave. Be good to watch them fall faster than what Newtons Law states.

1981 is further back and there's still a slight injustice they beat us in the Cup semi-final but what the f*ck you got to get over it. Sometimes wonder had we played that Spurs team in the final event what could have happened but we played so many games that season fatigue and tiredness were always going to take a toll or get to us eventually.
Echo what Mike said in hope they fall away sooner or later and go back to being a nothing club name bringing in 15,000 and best chance of winning being some p*ss-ant competition far way below their now expectations. The money and investments have to dry up at some later stage and they'll fall away and regain previous stature. Maybe it won't happen but so long as the opportunity is there you can always keep an open mind. There really isn't much else to add to the issue.

They was under investigation for FFP overspending, you spend on your game and sponsor budget, not some Arab's private investment income, for what they spend on players, outweighs their overall income, I would love to see them docked 20 points if proven they overspentarana peligrosa wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 4:08 pm1981 is further back and there's still a slight injustice they beat us in the Cup semi-final but what the f*ck you got to get over it.

Both Chelsea and Man City have been flaunting the FFP ruling for years, Nothing is done about it because the money behind both is so vast who can afford or even want to go against them,ashfordblue wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 1:10 amThey was under investigation for FFP overspending, you spend on your game and sponsor budget, not some Arab's private investment income, for what they spend on players, outweighs their overall income, I would love to see them docked 20 points if proven they overspent
Yesterday once again showed how corrupt the VAR premier league is,

Re: Is 23years too long to hold a grudge?
not getting off topic but if we were Man City the ref and VAR wouldn't rush into any decision going against City,
this is the 4th / 5th time this season VAR have done this to us, 3 apologises received from them,
It cant just be incidental.

Saw this last night, Wolfie. Quite incredible how they are continually making mistakes. Correct though, had it been Man City v Nuke, and it was Pep, ——>> different outcome.goldandblack wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 1:00 pmnot getting off topic but if we were Man City the ref and VAR wouldn't rush into any decision going against City,

Re: Is 23years too long to hold a grudge?
it cant possibly be put down to a mistake, I don't blame the ref although cant understand why he pointed to the spot so quick, if everyone can see after many angles just like VAR did, how/why do they come up with a penalty, I say its political.marko69 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 2:31 pmSaw this last night, Wolfie.

Bournemouth v Burnley, that off side decision, what was their excuse " they drew the line in the wrong place," what a farce,

The Town have all this crap to come,
