Blog: Between The Lines, The Irreverent Poetry Of Ipswich Town. No.37 - I Don’t Want To Write This Poem
Well I was angry. And speechless. And then I calmed down. Terrible defending at the end of the first half saw two conceded. Then a stirring second-half comeback to go 3-2 up - were we finally to get that ‘win from behind’?

Blog: Between The Lines, The Irreverent Poetry Of Ipswich Town. No.36 - Bogies
My last poem involving this ref (v Preston), you might recall was less than flattering. Once again he dominates the match and the poem, nothing any ref should ever do.

Blog: Between The Lines, The Irreverent Poetry Of Ipswich Town. No.35 - A Matusiwa Smile
This was tense. Hull came to battle hard, defend deep, and hit us on the break if they could. And they did a pretty decent job of it, despite, bizarrely, not actually fashioning an effort on target. So why did it feel so tense then?!

Blog: Between The Lines, The Irreverent Poetry Of Ipswich Town. No.34 - A Variety Of Jams
I think you, the reader of these poems, needs to feel my pain. This weekend it wasn’t with the football, which was excellent. Instead it was a traffic jam on the A12 heading back to my mum’s in Essex, which I was in, and not moving, for three hours. I managed to weave that into this poem, so it wasn’t a total waste.

Blog: Between The Lines, The Irreverent Poetry Of Ipswich Town. No.33 - Unconventions
Well this was much better, unconventionally so. A solid, largely untroubled away win, with a couple of unconventional goals. And even - unconventionally by Town’s standards - a penalty save. Suddenly we’re all unconventionally happy again!

I started writing this one before the game even finished, so prepare yourselves for a curled out stream of spit-filled consciousness.

Blog: Between The Lines, The Irreverent Poetry Of Ipswich Town. No.31 - Heads Tales
A much better away performance than we’ve come to expect, albeit with the usual not-taken-chances that would’ve made this early kick-off more relaxing.

Blog: Between The Lines, The Irreverent Poetry Of Ipswich Town. No.30 - Writ Chefs
Well I know we weren’t good enough. And we can’t blame the ref, John Busby, for everything. But he was terrible, and this poem is mostly blaming him. So sue me.

The final (for now) part of a look at Kieran McKenna's (and let's be honest, many others') incomings during the season just gone.

Blog: Between The Lines, The Irreverent Poetry Of Ipswich Town. No.29 - Soft Balls In A Steel City
One of those days when everything goes wrong, but my overall feeling was of being dragged down to the Blades’ level and bullied into submission. Not helped by the ref. Or his watch in the first half. Or missing gilt-edged chances. Or luck. Or a quiet crowd getting fired up. Or Wilder’s antics. Just an absolute mess in every sense.
