Just 3 minutes into the match between Ipswich Town and Southampton, being the kind hosts that Town are we decided to let the Saints walk over us and get a goal.

Town continue to struggle with defending forgetting that to defend means they actually have to open their eyes and look like they know where they are. Harding, Naylor, De Vos and Bruce were the ones defending the Town goal, someone should have told them that was what they were supposed to be doing a they thought they were there to refresh their fading summer tan.

The first 10 minutes was nothing to even blink about in fact you could doze off and miss nothing.

Over the next 10 minutes it was all free kicks both ways but both sides equally pathetic got nothing from the chances handed to them on a plate.

In the 20th minute something happened on the pitch, but the second i looked away I forgot what it was, meanwhile some not so saintly Saint fans are kicked out of the ground.

26 minutes like fuel to the fire, set me off like a flame thrower when Southampton had a free kick outside the Town box and Town decide to leave a Saint wide open and on a free path to goal, luckily the free kick was a disgrace.

2 minutes later Walton is going mad trying to do an impression of a blackcurrant and Richards looks a yucky, pale, yellow colour and certainly not on top form.

29 minutes Makin holds onto Noble as if Noble is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, well at least someone thinks so!

On half an hour the lino looks like Richards and a man in the North stand has bright blue hair.

Southampton score a second in the 33rd minute but it was offside much to the relief of all the blue hearts that were being walked all over, Price repairs his box after releasing the ball, and it does nothing in the Southampton half.

The Tractor Boys continue standing around like lemons, not that lemons stand, they just kind of sit there and as a man in front said the statement of Town standing around like lemons is an insult to the ability of the lemons.

On 39 minutes I'm not quite sure what happened but almost everyone raised their arm, it was only fair to wave back, but I was wondering if it was a wave hello or goodbye?

40 minutes, we had a shot, Thanks Williams.

A minute later I feel like I'm in a supermarket as everyone rolls around outside the Southampton box like a bunch of loose apples.

Town won a free kick from whatever did happen there which Noble lined up to take, I watched in puzzlement as the zombies in blue all stood the wrong side of the ball. Still it wasn't a bad effort curling just wide of the near post.

Walton gets the munchies on 43 and wants a leg, but not of chicken... He's a man eater.

Then back to Town 'attack' Richards produces a totally crap corner followed by an ok one.

45 minutes Harding gets a kick on the bright side and thank the earth it's half time.

The second half started and to my suprise Richards was still on the pitch, he certainly wasn't on fire today.

As the game resumed i noticed the boy in front eating a twix, not just munching, carefully eating the caramel off of the top, aww that brings back memories.

On 48 minutes an astra plane flies over and we get attacked by litter.

Finally on the 52nd minute the game wakes up, Price is forced to make a save Southampton have a corner, Richards defends well then the ball back in the hands of Price meant we could all breathe again.

55 minutes Legwinski replaces Richards to the fans delight, No Richards did not lay well today but what you need to remember is he played no worse than the rest of the team the only difference being his active role in the game meant he was actually being noticed, unlike Alan Lee who once again looked tired, he moved with, actually he hardly moved at all yet somehow was producing enough sweat to extinguish a mount Kilimanjaro eruption.

61 minutes all I have to say is *@!!%@$!**

Clarke replaced Macken in the 64th minute who didn't do much during the game but to be fair there was little opportunity for him to do anything.

65 minutes Lee done what he done best and fell over, in the Saint box, and thanks to dodgy positioning, wins us a penalty. SIMON WALTON I LOVE YOU. Since the day he came I've fallen in love with him (ok maybe not quite) but every time I see him play its admiration, and that hasn't been there for a while as far as town players are concerned. Town are back in the game.

Funky sock competition causes a fight break out on 68 minutes as we were all wearing boring socks and my theory that mine were better because they had my feet in was not accepted so we fought for the point which I of course won!

Over the next 10 minutes little happened, a couple of free kicks and bookings, including one for Williams, Well we can't hold it against him, it's the only book he will ever get his name in!

77 minutes a foul on Harding gives Town a free kick which Noble takes the delivery was good and Clarke found the ball with ease to put where it belonged behind Saint keeper Kelvin Davis and into the back of the net. 2-1 to Town.

It takes Southampton a few minutes to respond but when they do, they make us sweat for the final 10 minutes of the game as they take control, they whack the post, have a goal appeal denied, force a great save from Price, all that, a couple of corners and a lot of stress later Southampton fail to get the ball past the Town keeper.

Alan Lee is replaced by Bowditch and before Deano has the chance to break a drop of sweat the final whistle is blown and the student beat the teacher with Super Jims barmy army taking all three points from George Burleys Saints.
