Where's your caravan?



Got some quality time in the Oak with Spratticus and Christina on Sunday. Then down to Selhurst Park with Robert and Tom last night to see the Tractor Boys in action. Every time I've been to a Town game over the last few years they have lost, so it was a bit of a gamble going along to this game just after they'd rediscovered their away form. Fortunately the curse seems to have been lifted and Ipswich romped to a triumphant 1-0 victory. Cracking game, with both players and fans on good form. I'd forgotten how therapeutic it can be to spend a Tuesday evening in a cold stadium shouting 'Blue Army' with a couple of thousand kindred spirits. Wonderful player that Alan Lee is, however, I couldn't quite bring myself to join in singing his praises to the tune of Spandau Ballet's 'Gold'. Be interesting to see how the name of new signing Velice Sumulikoski ('the Macedonian Steven Gerrard') works itself into a chant.
