As many questions as answers, probably
After I submitted a statistical analysis of Town's season to Those Were The Days a week or two back, the good folks there have been badgering me for more, and I have to admit I couldn't resist. Anyway, if you want to read all five I've now done, here they ... Click here to read the rest...
Ebbsfleet Utd’s Big Day Out ends happily
What a great day for Ebbsfleet United, and yah-boo sucks (oh yes, my arguments are cultured) to over-opinionated, under-informed fools like Martin Samuel in The Times, who just took the easy option and stuck the boot into My Football Club without stopping to think that perhaps - just perhaps - ...

Some statistics about Ipswich Town’s season
Finding myself having to do some Excel work today, and looking for some more interesting stats to distract me, I pasted in the Championship tables since the new tiering began 16 seasons ago (1992), so I could have some fun with unusual ratios and the SORT function in general.

Mitre Championship Video
This is great fun, a new promo from Mitre for their championship footballs, featuring loads of Championship players spoofing other footy virals and taking the piss out of themselves.

I think everyone has a better feeling about the current setup than a year ago, but the facts are that at 14th, we finished just one place higher than last year, ... Click here to read the rest...
The Ipswich Town website: cost effectively maximising income and reach, of course
Fans on our mailing list were discussing the awfulness of our own (and most other football clubs') websites.
