fans, sum up how you're feeling about the new season in one word...
It was interesting hearing other Premier League fans give their thoughts on
@WeAreTheOverlap
, also pleasantly surprised by the positivity towards us!
Check it out here:
Bolton away is usually a fave of mine, but I have something of an excuse to be missing it this season...
James Thomas Robert has joined the Tractor Boy ranks this week 💙
Daddy chose the name, but I like to think of it as a tribute to the latest
#itfc
legend -
@jnorwood_10
Give me a manager that swears at the opposition over one that swears at his own fans any day. True passion, this club is getting back on it's feet... slowly.
#itfc
#itfc
drinking game - down a shot every time someone who has absolutely no idea of anything about us makes a comment about McCarthy. It's the best way to get through tonight.
There's one signing we can be certain
#itfc
will make this season...
#TractorBump
number 2 is due on transfer deadline day :-)
I've already bought him his blue and white scarf 💙

@Journo_Blair
Citizens Advice helped me when I was struggling with debt. And then again when I was made redundant while pregnant. I'm not a 'boat migrant'.
David McGoldrick shakes hands with most of the
#ITFC
team and then applauds fans before joining Sheff U to celebrate.
I will tweet about us on the way home but thought that was a nice touch
Really important to mention that the thing that will make the difference when making women feel comfortable at football matches is having all the gents on board with
@HerGameToo
... so, so grateful that we have so many allies for gender equality at
#itfc
- you're all ace💙
I swear that I will pay true allegiance to King Kieran McKenna, and to his team and to their successors for many years to come, as we conquer the Championship and beyond.

Not every day you get to meet a childhood legend! He's predicted Town to finish 12th (after an impassioned and excited dialogue from me!)... I'll take that 💙🤍
@WeAreTheOverlap
He’s living every Ipswich fans’ dream. You’ll wanna watch until the end.
Extended interview on

Drive on Friday &
@DarrenBent

Well, that was worth the trip from Yorkshire! Will never forget the joy of watching Harry get very into the game and chanting 'Come on you blues'. Don't think it'll be long before he's joining Mummy at away game 💙🤍
Very, very special day today taking my 3 year old for his first
#itfc
game. Moments I'll remember forever: his face as we walked out into the ground, and him jumping around when we scored our third! 😍💙⚽️
I have been biting my tongue for so long... as my delightful ex-boyfriend messaged me after we lost to them in August: Stick that up your bum Leeds. Some of the most arrogant fans on the planet, thought they had a god-given right to going straight back up. Enjoy the 2nd tier.
I tell you what I would really like to see, match bans for fans that bully others online. It makes it incredibly hard to go to games when you've received a barrage of unwarranted abuse from faceless little boys online, people shouldn't have to go through this.
I get to wake my boys up in the morning and tell them Ipswich are top of the league 😍💙🤍 It might not sound like much, but Harry is surrounded with Leeds fans at school so he's gonna love it 🤣
I want to just give a massive thank you to our amazing
@ItfcBluey
. We couldn't take James into the fanzone because he isn't coming to games yet... so Bluey came out to meet him. It made my day, let alone the kids. What a club!
Any other Town fans heading to Ipswich tomorrow but don't have tickets?
Trying to get a group of us together to watch the game so no-one has to be alone.
@sheologian
The thing is, she's absolutely spot on. This living for work bollocks breaks so many of us... at least she's actually speaking out against it, unlike those who've gone before her.
When we come to watch
#itfc
, we don't just come for the game. We come for a day out, we come to spend time with our friends and to be with people who share our passions. Managers will come and go - but we will ALWAYS be blue.
'Dear
@marcusevans
, I'm writing to you today because ITFC's relegation from the Championship is starting to feel like a bad break-up and something needs to change.'
Very proud to have written the first post on
@EADTsport24
's new 'Your Posts' section:
Chuffed with that Town. Would be nice to feel a bit more 'safe' with a couple more goals and a team with better finishers would have had us... but we looked in control and comfortable second half. Just need to start building confidence with a run of games... Oh, wait...
#itfc
Had an eye test yesterday and made a joke about how having bad eyesight last season was no bad thing...
Optician asked, 'aren't Ipswich the side that were doing well, sacked their manager, and then got relegated?'
Not sure he expected the impassioned rant that followed!
#itfc
Finally my turn, the traditional Anniversary present from my hubby!
Who would have thought 3 years ago that this year it would have a Premier League badge on? 😍
Sir Bobby trending at the moment. To the rest of the world he is a legend, one of football's greatest. To us he's our club personified - even those of us who were too young to see his
#itfc
teams play know just how special he was. Happy Birthday Bobby Robson 💙
Barnsley away has always had a special place in my heart 💙🤍 But tonight just topped everything! Wonderful away day from start to finish, proud to have been part of such incredible support. The 'Blue Army' rendition that involved the whole stand blew me away. We're back
#itfc
Does anyone else give a fuck about who is taking over? Or are we just all happy with the glimmer of hope that the last 15 years of our lives are over?
#itfc
Kieran McKenna has become English football’s hottest property but if a non-follower passed him on the street they would more likely guess he is a geography teacher than a head coach overseeing the return to relevance of a big club.
This made me lol
#ITFC
I feel like he knew at this point we were going up. He knew he'd done the job he'd come here to do. Was he wondering what was next? I like to think he knew exactly what that was and thank God he's still here to finish the story. We're not done yet.
One last step
#itfc
. Let's finish this season perfectly
#100points100goals
He's a bit camera shy here... but this kid is word perfect on 'We've got Kieran McKenna' and insisted on wearing his Ipswich top so he could be matching with Mummy 😍
If only the rest of the world could understand the power of just being an Ipswich fan. I may not be getting many tickets next year, but you are still my life.
Off to take part in a PREMIER LEAGUE, pre-season fan chat with
@WeAreTheOverlap
. Proud to have been asked, excited to be able to share our excitement. And will never ever get bored of saying, 'We're Premier League'. Who wants to take a bet on how many times I cry? 😭 🤣
I know some people cringe at the phrase 'football family', but it's genuinely true in my case. 8 years ago, having travelled to away games for years on my own, I met up with a bunch of
#itfc
fans in Blackpool. They started my journey of meeting many lovely ppl and dear friends 😍
I will never forgive Hurst for the position we are in now, but Lambert is not the man to get us out of it. We need the new manager bump - badly. I have no hope at all for our next six games, and I hate feeling like this.
Promotion was the absolute bare minimum this season. I'm not 'Lambert Out' yet... but I'm feeling pretty hopeless about all things
#itfc
right now. I miss the days of feeling excited that we might win the league.
When I was younger, if I asked my Dad who is favourite ever Ipswich player was he'd always say, without even thinking, Mariner.
These are the men our club was built on, legends of the game and general all-round good guys.
Thoughts are with his family at this time.
We are devastated to hear the news of the passing of Town legend Paul Mariner at the age of 68.
The thoughts of everyone at
#itfc
are with Paul’s family and friends at this sad time.
Thank you, Paul. 💙
Also, as it's
#InternationalMensDay
, I wanted to say a huge well done to all the
#itfc
chaps who have opened up about their struggles with
#mentalhealth
- I think each and every one of you is amazing and I know that sharing your story will have helped so many people 💙
