Will Mick keep us up?
Saturday 24 November 2012 - Ipswich Town 1 Peterborough United 1, Championship, Portman Road
I think Mick will keep us up - but and it is a big but! This is a very poor team and we need fresh faces in January plus we need to get rid of some dead wood

From the train
Tuesday 20th November 2012, Witham Town 2 Bury Town 4, Ryam League Cup, Round 3 - Spa Road Witham
The ground you can see on the train from or to London, always thought it would be easy to catch a game there - and it was.
Not only was it easy to get to, I managed to see a good game of football, it seemed no team wanted to go to the dreaded penalty’s - so the last 15 minutes were end to end football with Bury getting two goals in last few minutes.
The ground is basic but a roof on all 4 stands is a luxury at this level. Witham also have the noisiest fans- well three of them who you would have thought they were in a crowd of a few thousand rather than about 50!

Embarrassing
Tuesday 13 November 2012 - Walsham Le Willows 1 Ipswich Town Reserves 5, Suffolk Premier Cup - Summer lane
Saturday 17 November 2012 - Leicester City 6 Ipswich Town 0, Championship, King Power Stadium
On Tuesday we saw our club in a good light, taking a strong team to play a village side and Big Mick charming the locals then today we were a joke - or as Mick said on Radio 5 - 'embarrassing'

Pride back
Saturday 10 November 2012, Ipswich Town 2 Burnley 1 - Portman Road, Championship
Before the game the players shook hands with soldiers from 1 Royal Anglians - the soldiers had just returned from Afghanistan - the fighting spirit rubbed off on the players as like our British soldiers, they showed pride, determination and fighting spirit- pride is back.

Murder in Saf London
Tuesday 6 November 2012 – Crystal Palace 5 Ipswich Town 0, Selhurst Park – Championship
Wednesday 7 November 2012 – Ipswich Town Under 21’s 0 Swansea City Under 21’s 1 – Training Ground
Tuesday – a disgrace and will have shown Mick that he has some job just to keep us up.
Wednesday – Now the turn of the Reserves and another defeat – Mick would not have seen much to encourage him – but I was please as Mick and Terry watched the whole game and Mick even contributed to the half time team talk.
Mick will keep us up!

Sun then mud!
Weekend 3/4 November 2012, Euro Cyclo-Cross Championships and British Competition
Saturday saw the Euro Cyclo- Cross Championships arrive at Chantry Park – a dry, sunny but cold days saw some fantastic racing – with 3 very different races – the Junior Men’s race was a display of total domination by the Dutch rider (son of a former Tour De France rider) the next race, the Men’s Under 23 had a very tactical race with the Belgians and Dutch fighting each other and then the end race of the day saw a GB win in the women’s race – which needed a photo finish to decide that the Gold would stay in the UK.
Sunday Saw a British race event – but still saw Belgium win the Elite race – but rain all day saw mud, mud and more mud- but yet again fantastic racing.
Now let’s get the World championship in Ipswich.

3 Stadiums in one day!
Barcelona is a great city for many reasons but as a footie fan hard to beat.
On Saturday we managed to get to see Espanyol play at La Prat but on the Monday we managed to get 3 Stadiums in - no games but still good to visit .
We started at the Nou Camp and a visit to the FC Barcelona museum then the security man let us slip into the Mini Estadi, home of Barcelona 'B' then it was off to the home of the 1992 Olympics.
There are also a number of other second and third division grounds you could visit in the city - so get over to Barca and enjoy the trip.

More than one team in Barcelona
Saturday 27th October 2012, Espanyol 0 Malaga 0, Spanish Primera Division
Estadi Cornella - El Prat
I had to escape the dire football being served up at Ipswich so off I went to Barcelona, but not a game at the Nou Camp for me it was to the 'other' team in Barcelona - Espanyol.
Their stadium may not be a big as the Nou Camp but it is one of the best grounds in Europe and very new but has a great feel to it.
Not a big crowd as third placed Malaga arrived in town; Espanyol may be near the bottom but were the better team in an entertaining nil nil draw.
One myth we hear in England is that football is far cheaper on the continent - not so in Spain and TV also rules the roost here - you can see every game on live TV as not one game kicks off at the same time. Another pain is that kick off times are not decided till a week before the fixture.
So if you go to Barcelona, take a tour of the Nou Camp, visit the Olympic Stadium but catch a match at La Prat!
