      Out East here in sleepy old Suffolk the Yanks have come to the rescue of Ipswich Town, currently underperforming champions of the entire football league. Heaven knows what will happen next but it can't be worse than the last 13 years under the previous owner.

          Gamechanger20, our new owners, have just issued new shares to the value of £20 million, but there's no guarantee any of that will be spent on strengthening the squad - besides, you don't get much in the way of good players for that sort of money these days. It's going to take a VERY LONG time to recover from our present sorry state, I fear. Not sure about sleeping giants, cloughie - comatose midgets, at least in Ipswich's case, perhaps?

              That ol North Sea breeze dew instill a sense of grim realism, but - who knows - before too long the Owls and the Tractor Boys could be battling for that 4th Champions League spot, in which case I shall be pleased to record - in writing - my pleasure at having been proved wrong!

                Excellent result for Alison's Foxes last night...though what they are doing there I don't know, as they're not one of the big six!

                Buddies have to wait till Monday for their quarter-final with Killie - nervy!

                  Boreham Wood 0 Stockport County 3 Easy peasy win today, Hangers didn't play, Sutton lost, could have done without Torquay scoring a 98th minute equaliser though
                  Still 4th (been 4th most of the season it seems) but ther are now just 5 points between the top four.

                              Great result, Rob, but conspiracy still at work, it seems to me. Exciting stuff!

                              Maybe this is the year when fate makes its long-awaited amends to you, anton.

                              Only 4 points from safety, cloughie - hope has to spring eternal, said he, dreading the QF on Monday night.
