My time with the EADT and
@KingsofAnglia
is coming to an end.
It's been such an incredible privilege to do the job I dreamed of as a child, with promotion for
#itfc
the perfect way to sign off after six seasons covering the club.
'I hope those that hounded me out enjoy the sexy football in League One'
Former
#itfc
boss Mick McCarthy has had his say following the club's relegation to the third tier
Anyone else having an issue with these two kits? Far too similar.
A few unusually stray passes makes me wonder if players are having issues as well
#itfc
#itfc
fans have unfurled a 'Billy Kee, you are not alone' banner before kick-off.
The Accrington striker has not been playing this season as he deals with depression and bulimia. Classy.
🎥 I'm really excited to share the full version of this with you all (hopefully next week).
Clearly it was meant for the
#itfc
anniversary in May, but the virus & furlough etc ruined that. We wanted to finish it properly.
We hope it's something you'll all enjoy
BREAKING:
#itfc
striker
@jnorwood_10
has won the League One player-of-the-month award for August.
And he absolutely smashed the vote. Not even close.
And it's his 29th birthday as well 🎈🎂🎁
Understand James Norwood has agreed to sign for
#itfc
on a three-year deal when his Tranmere contract comes to an end.
He's in Magaluf with Tranmere team-mates until end of this week so not signed yet. That could happen next week.
I was invited up to Playford Road yesterday by
#itfc
boss Paul Lambert, to collect an open letter to the club's supporters.
He wanted to show his continuing thanks to fans and make it clear the support doesn't go unnoticed by anyone at the club.
Portman Road had the largest attendance outside the Premier League today. Amazing support.
Yes, loads of postponements, but it would have been even if all Championship games had gone ahead.
#itfc
This also includes the lines -
'I don't care' - when asked how
#itfc
players are feeling
'I don’t like the team'
'Our players are very, very aware of my feelings'
Gerrard and Beale leave 🔵Rangers for 🟣Aston Villa
Beale leaves 🟣Aston Villa for 🔷️QPR
Critchley leaves 🟠Blackpool to replace Beale at 🟣Villa

Critchley replaces Beale at 🔷️QPR
Next step - Gerrard to manage 🟠Blackpool?
This is fantastic to watch. Oozing confidence with every pass as they move the ball (and Gillingham) around the pitch.
Both of the last two goals heavily applauded in the home end
#itfc
A word for captain Chambers, too. Say what you want about ability on the ball etc, for pure heart, rugged defending and willingness to put his body on the line he is not found wanting. An excellent leader and you can see what today meant to him at FT.
#itfc
Thank you to anyone who has ever read anything I've written, disagreed with a player rating, tolerated another kit ranking list, listened to the podcast or watched our post-match ramblings.
Covering
#itfc
, alongside some incredible colleagues, has been an absolute blast.
It's 20 years today since

He brought the style, swagger and arrogance the Blues needed back then.
Some great pictures in here.
There's a heavy Ipswich influence in this England v Wales game.
Mings, Maitland-Niles, Moore, Williams all played in

first-team.

The

Plymouth boss Steven Schumacher revealed after the game how

played a big role in his side's pre-match preparations.
A Norwich player, Bali Mumba, also scored the equaliser

Lambert asked if he would rather keep ticket prices down and have less to spend in market as a result: "I would rather play in a full stadium and go with the young ones here.
"Guys I know I can trust, the mentality and have the identity with the supporters."

captain Luke Chambers puts five young players up at his family home.
Jack Lankester is one of them and says living with the skipper has really helped him
FT:
#itfc
2-1
#ftfc
That feels big.
After the equaliser it looked like it wasn't going to be Town's day, as they failed to kill the game when in the lead.
But that's until Celina intervened.
Great scenes
Some really tough
#itfc
news this afternoon.
Marcus Stewart has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
There are an awful lot of people who will be sending support and love to a brilliant footballer and a wonderful man 💙
Cameron Jerome will not be joining
#itfc
despite an enquiry regarding the striker.
He doesn't want to 'sour wonderful memories from his time at
#ncfc
' - I'm told
West Brom have lost at Leeds tonight, meaning
#itfc
, Liverpool and Coventry City are now the only three unbeaten teams in the top five divisions of English football.
Decent, that.
Bit of an update on Bartosz Bialkowski's contract situation.
Understand a new deal is agreed and could be signed as early as the start of next week.
Three years + an option. Great news for

showing real interest in Tranmere striker James Norwood, I understand
He leads English football's scoring charts with 25 league goals, 27 in all comps. Available on a free in the summer.
If
#itfc
also conclude the Hayden Coulson deal today (or anyone else, for that matter) they will be back to averaging exactly a new signing every five days since Mark Ashton's arrival on June 1.
Sone Aluko was only supposed to play 45 minutes today but ended up giving
#itfc
nearly 80. Very impressive after three months out.
He's delighted to be back 👇
A source close to
#itfc
boss Paul Lambert confirms the Blues boss remains 100 per cent committed to the club and intends to remain in charge beyond the end of the season.
Exclusive
We understand
#itfc
are interested in a move for star

midfielder Jack Taylor.

QPR boss Mark Warburton admits his pursuit of
#itfc
playmaker Alan Judge is over.
It looks as if Judge is staying at Portman Road. It would be a major boost for Town ahead of the L1 season.
Two players worth millions of pounds to

keep their jobs and are back playing within days, despite pleading guilty to drink driving.
Captain, 33, who is out injured until his contract expires and has no re-sale value is sacked despite not being behind the wheel. 😞
Derby County captain Richard Keogh has been sacked.
This comes a month after he was injured in a crash that led to the arrest of two of his team-mates.
