Ipswich (H) - Sat 24th Aug | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[WestGorton]

I remember them having a party when we were relegated in 2001. I think they had some beef over something irrelevant. Please go for the jugular and make sure they know it's only for one season. Never forget those who wished you ill.

We are the weakest link goodbye
Never forget.

Really should be a comfortable 3 points & then it's a decent start to the season.

Although that said, we seem to drop as many points to poorer teams as to better ones, if you look back over the past few seasons ?

Nunes for de bruyne
Grealish for savio

Do we really need rotation at this stage of the season?

More we rotate now the less we will need to at the business end and we need to keep everyone fresh in case they are needed down the line because of injuries

Want us to batter these on Saturday but nothing against them. I don’t have the hate for Ipswich as I remember a few of them wishing us all the best after we knocked them out of the Semi Final in ‘81.

They don’t like us and we don’t like them, simple as that.

We might not have played each other for 22 years, but I’ll never forget that flag when they sent us down and they’ll never forget us humiliating them on their own patch as a team from the division below.

There’s a few rivalries that you’d think we’d grow out of now we’ve become a club that wins a lot of trophies while these kind of clubs have struggled, but I’ll never have a single ounce of ‘like’ for Stockport, Ipswich, Millwall etc.

Or their stadium announcer taking the piss the night we got relegated

Certain hate runs deep, this club fall into that category.

They never got over losing the 81 Semi Final when they expected to win.
