#ITFC

Only the seventh player in Ipswich Town’s history whose first & last names total seven letters, the previous being Jay Tabb.

Also, you can’t spell Jaden Philogene without the letters Dan Neil. The last time #ITFC had a pairing like that was Dalian Atkinson & Ian Atkins in 1988

I don’t normally do it for opposition players. But had to give him a standing ovation when he came on and I sang his name. He is still a strong physical player, although that was a bit naughty on O’Shea, but I’ll always be a big fan of Sinclair Armstrong

#ITFC

Ipswich Town have played four consecutive home matches, winning all four!

The last time this happened was in 1980/81, when #ITFC played six consecutive home games and won all six!!!

Wes Burns is the 105th player to reach 150 appearances for Ipswich Town.

He’s the 7th Welshman to reach the milestone, the previous being Geraint Williams in November 1995

Ipswich Town’s emphatic 3-0 triumph over Blackburn Rovers has unlocked a long-awaited milestone: back-to-back consecutive Saturday home victories at Portman Road — the first time this has happened since April 2007!

#ITFC

February 1982 - The last time Ipswich Town played back to away back games against the same team. Anfield.

TBF we played Liverpool three consecutive games in the run

February 1986 - In the FA Cup we played West Ham at home on a Tuesday and then again 2 days later

Ipswich Town are set to play 5 consecutive away games for only the third time in their history. Here’s a good omen, they won the FA Cup in one of those seasons

Nov - Dec 1950 (6 away games)
April 1978
January 1986

#ITFC

Most consecutive seasons an Ipswich Town manager reached the FA Cup 4th Round

12 - Bobby Robson (1971-1982)
4 - Bobby Ferguson (1983-1986)
4 - Kieran McKenna (2023-2026)

Ipswich Town have never lost a home FA Cup tie when they have been leading at half-time

#ITFC

Ipswich Town’s 100th win in the FA Cup. Winners.

#ITFC

Hey Kevin! Hope you’re well. All good here

HNY TOMMY!

Under Kieran McKenna, Ipswich Town have now scored 343 goals — that’s one more than the total achieved during Mick McCarthy’s entire tenure in charge of #ITFC.

McKenna’s Blues did it in 80 fewer games.

McKenna is also now only the 5th Town manager to reach 300 league goals and 300 points.

The 2026 vote for Ipswich Town’s greatest ever player is now open.

Here’s last year’s top 40. Who will drop out of the top 10?

Apologies, I have neglected Blue Sky. And thank you for your kind words but you probably wouldn’t want to read my tweets tonight 😢

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m hooked after the first listen

Some serious stats there Dean, I’m feeling hopeful

Well I Wonder is truly a great Smiths track

Now you tell me 😂

But I don’t use Spotify, Amazon Music Unlimited instead. Is there an equivalent?

I’ve seen a lot of #spotify unwrapped posts, but this year I’ve done some thorough research.

I’ve added in to a spreadsheet (shock) every song I’ve listened to this year. 12,000+ plays so far.

At the end of the year, I will post a rundown of the top 100 songs/albums/artists.

Leif Davis’ 100th league appearance for Ipswich Town this evening

#ITFC

That was a difficult one to watch.
The crowd didn’t help lift the atmosphere. The players didn’t help lift the crowd.

It was like Everton: The Sequel

#ITFC

Jackie, Boys and I Love you were my standouts and Bug and Sundowner, Starburster…. I could go on :)

Still beating the drum that #ITFC should be in the race for Kenny’s signature

This Bohemians / Fontaines cross over away kit is a thing of beauty.

What was your standout track?

Evan Ferguson is said to be allowed to leave Brighton on loan in the next transfer window. Has to be on Ipswich’s radar.
