"IT'S TURNED DESPERATE AT IPSWICH" THE TNC PODCAST #74 - WITH BENJAMIN BLOOM

[@NorwichCityCentral]

So much time for Ben 🙌 good stuff lads 👍

[@geoffpoole9107]

This is a great podcast. Good discussion and valid viewpoints.

[@alanalan9242]

A big thumbs up for Ben. He is a great ambassador for Ipswich Town. I have to say there are some first-rate Championship vlogs nowadays on KZbin. Although I obviously want NCFC to get promoted, in some ways life will be poorer if we do. First, we will have to play attritional football in the hope of scraping a 0-0 draw against the likes of Tottenham or MU, and second, there won't be this community of fans desperately hoping to reach the promised land and therefore understanding each others' crazy dreams.

[@HeyThereStan]

So much love for Ben, seems like a genuinely good guy to hang out with 👌🏻

[@tutts999]

I would like to seen Ben on QuestHD on Saturday night.

[@deimosthechosenone8914]

I highly recommend anybody who’s never been on Bens channel to check it out he does weekly reviews and reactions on all games in the championship.

[@9wolves2007]

I know a lot of banter flies around on social media but I do have the utmost respect for these two. Very knowledgeable and always know how to debate & discuss like adults.

[@jeffwyatt590]

I would highly recommend the Blue Monday preview show, with Rich and Harry. I think it normally goes out on a Thursday/Friday each week. I'm a Norwich supporter, but watch because of Harry's brilliant analysis of Championship teams - you get a real insight of the opposition's strengths and weaknesses. This week is a must watch, as he will obviously be featuring Norwich City. It will be interesting to see what he says, especially after our complete performance at Elland Road.

[@sunsetsarenice]

Terrific stuff from both 👏 plenty of good points and a great listen all 'round. Echo the many comments about Ben's channel too, great bunch there and always worth a watch/listen (despite their allegiance, of course - no one's perfect!).

[@ruid1]

Always love your chats with Mr Bloom..

[@jimihodgkins1150]

Brilliant Podcast fellas. Nice to hear a good honest debate with plenty of proper banter. Keep it up.

[@timcox5106]

Ben is fantastic. Great podcast.

[@okafisher9490]

Genuinely a good mature convo, always a fan of Ben.

[@louiswoodrow]

Never thought I'd see Jesus on the podcast Jack, good work

[@sundet81]

Excellent conversation.

[@hongdongjji5361]

right Jack, when I come back to England it's pints on me for Benjamin Blue and TNC. You guys seem to get on well, but are equally knowledgeable and passionate for your respective clubs. Always a good interview with you two, and I look forward to the post-apocalyptic Derby breakdown show if he agrees to it.

[@MrCatalysis101]

Brilliant conversation, thanks.

[@stephenlangdale1380]

get Ben on every week even if he is a 1p5wich fan . 100% Better than chris

[@adamferjani8985]

Great vid lads. Great to see two rival fans talking sense.

[@SwansAwayDays]

A very good podcast, well done lads! 👍

[@simonmeadows4436]

Just enjoyed this,really respect ✊ Ben for his ability to be objective and his EFL Championship coverage💛💚

[@ryanbarham2356]

Great Podcast as usual. Ben is a good example of how a rival fan should be. Lots of respect. 😊

[@ollygoddard5055]

Mans got a fish called Cedric 😂 #ledge

[@Chrisb286]

Great podcast, talking sense as normal. Got a lot of time for Ben, his reviews are always very balanced. PL will get too much stick on Sunday, he deserves so much better than that, short memories.

[@tomizzard]

great to see two rival fans getting on. OTBC 💛💚

[@michaelwarner2655]

Great show guys, lets hope for a good even(ish) game for once. 11 v 11 at the end. players and score line?

[@GeorgeMattock]

Excellent podcast.

[@jonnywoodbeast4306]

Enjoyed that lads!!

[@nickmullerITFC78]

great video i miss this next year PS just want to say a bit of banter is ok but DONT GET BANNED for a moment of madness that is for both sets of fans

[@HiguyTV]

Seeing the discipline of the Norwich team against Leeds on Saturday I can't see the pressure getting to them against Ipswich

[@jeffwyatt590]

If (when)Ipswich go down to League 1, the big difference will be in the atmosphere inside the ground. When Norwich played in league 1, we were still getting 25,000 inside the ground. For teams coming to Carrow Road, it was like us going to Man City, or Arsenal - they were just hoping that they didn't get thumped! If Ipswich end up with 12/14,000 a match, in their 30,000 plus stadium, it won't feel anywhere near as daunting or intimidating to the opposition. They could end up like Coventry - big stadium - no atmosphere, and dropping down the leagues.

[@_booth7992]

id imagine attendance will go up when we get relegated, not down.

[@jackbebbington6358]

Great pod

[@nickmullerITFC78]

jack and ben if norwich go up and ipswich go down we would still pay in the checkatrade cup we play your under 23 team

[@mrchode3641]

I think our under 23s are probably better than your first team. That would be crazy.

[@nickmullerITFC78]

@@mrchode3641 not

[@mrchode3641]

@@nickmullerITFC78 They would I'm telling you. Your team is awful, our academy is the best in this league, we'd definitely beat you.

[@Ben-ud7ze]

Mr Chode yours, Birmingham and Sheffield United have the best academies in the league.

[@authoriseduser5090]

Our U23's side hasn't been in the Checkatrade Trophy for a couple of season, so probably not sadly

[@eddivens4915]

I will not be booing Lambert I think we can use our energy better by back our boys I like watching Ben does a great job

[@Rob9256]

An early firm but fair Tommy Trybull tackle on Sunday should settle the nerves. Come on you Yellows.

[@lukesyddall7386]

Have to say that was Blooming marvellous that! Lolzers! 😂🤣 Anyways great job, Benjamin is a good sport and like his honest opinions plus being quite a witty guy! On the ball City! Want Norwich to win so much on Sunday, that is coming from a Saints fan! But I have soft spot for Norwich and always like seeing them do well, so yeah always gonna support them over Ipswich! Want Norwich to win league big time, that be awesome! 😀

[@jayporter2174]

Strange

[@Robertl-xz6yl]

Very strange.

[@michaelpentti-smith809]

Nice one chaps 👍🏻 Ipswich winning will be such a strange result!

[@michaelpentti-smith809]

Also, regarding the potential 5-a-side game? Would we play on neutral ground? Pleasurewood Hills?

[@kjnphil]

Great video.

[@guymoates]

I would personally put Lambert behind Mike Walker (took us into Europe), Ken Brown (promotion and a trophy) and arguably Dave Stringer who put in place much of what Mike Walker did. Great times under Lambert of course.

[@mattyd3627]

Hurst and Lambert have now managed the same amount of games (14) and both got the same amount of points out of it (9) if Hurst had a transfer window to work with like Lambert did then it might have been a different story for him

[@mrrb2441]

They have been played Wednesday 1 Ipswich 0 Norwich 3 leeds 1

[@springbean19]

Great craic lads. Feels strange saying this, but i think Norwich deserve to go up. I never liked Leeds, and the spygate business is dodgy as fek. You should probably be most worried about WBA and Sheff U. I would quite like to see Hull break into the top 6, as they play some nice attacking football. Still hope the Town put a spanner in the works Sunday. We need a miracle now/mass points deductions, but hey, you may also benefit from that.

[@markwall4532]

So agree about the nasty atmosphere between Ipswich and Norwich. It's only a football match what's wrong with having a friendly atmosphere. I've supported Ipswich for 30 years and always want both teams to do well

[@jackhandsley1018]

Ben looks like one of the burglars in home alone 3

[@julianroberts698]

Cracking podcast try your best to convert Benjamin Jack too nice to be a scummer

[@matthewsmith8727]

I can’t imagine football violence at Norwich? Never knew the tories like a scrap

[@kbkb1395]

Ben, are you jesus in disguise!! are you jesus in disguise!!

[@jamesnice7110]

No,he is Henry Coles side kick on shed n buried

[@springbean19]

Hope so. Last time Jesus was a regular at Portman rd, we were very successful. 'Jesus, Jesus give us a song!'

[@daniel18387]

In relation to Culverhouse, what has Lambert done since Karsa and Culverhouse went their separate ways? The answer is absolutely nothing. Lambert is still living off his Norwich success, which tells you all you need to know. The facts don't lie. Culverhouse has been superb at Kings Lynn. The only reason he's not at pro level is because his name was tarnished at Villa and no one will touch him.

[@carolynhupton9170]

I think Lambert was the right man at the right time when he came to Norwich. Won't be booing, don't care enough about him!

[@mpsymonds1]

Bens looking more like Jesus Christ every time I see him.

[@jeremyyoung1386]

re: Lambert - the point you are missing is not that he is Norwich's greatest ever manager - whether he is, or isn't is irrelevant - the more important point is that he wasted his talent. Had Vaughan's goal not been disallowed, he might well have gone on to have a Football Manager style, empire building, 10 season Premier League winning career.... ok maybe not.... but then equally go and watch the game against Crystal Palace when Fraser Forster made a string of incredible saves that secured promotion to the Championship. Yeah fine boo him... that worked out so well for Colchester fans. But with Lambert I come back to Football Manager because he had the chance to build something, and he did what everyone does in that game he jumped ship to a 'bigger' club, not noticing what in reality Villa fans are like. And Ipswich fans aren't much better....

[@jeremyyoung1386]

@Mark Tierney Yeah, and let's not forget that game against Villa when everyone knew he was going to Villa, and the Villa fans were singing songs about that fact. I just don't buy this current story, particularly the guff about Lambert being our #bestever manager... cos he ain't. He also has precisely bugger all to do with the current team or the current style of play... That this is even a subject is a sign of just how his career as gone nowhere since he left to play ersatz Ron Saunders at Villa.

[@PeekyNCFC]

Your welcome for the beer and food guys!!!

[@archieg6795]

Sheffield united no way good enough for prem, league one style of football wouldn’t work

[@1889BLADE1889]

League one style of football 😂😂😂 Don't think many league one teams play with overlapping attacking centre halves...

[@mrjudderman]

That's bullshit pal. Sheffield United play exciting, passing and innovative football, and I'm a Norwich fan. Admittedly they played it long more than they usually do at Carrow Road but that was good tactics from Wilder, targeting our weak spot.

[@darraghwalsh5159]

Ya Sheffield United have been playing great attacking high intensity football this season and they change their tactics against us simply just because it works and we're weak at dealing with too many crosses in to the box

[@sheffsteel7]

Sheff United play some of the best quick passing football in the Championship, very attack minded too home and even away.

[@jacobgeorge5428]

No doubt that Ian Culverhouse made Lambert.Relegation at Villa was during turmoil between the two. Lambert is undoubtedly shit by himself.

[@adamferjani8985]

Incorrect. Never got villa relegated. Got sacked when dropped in to bottom 3.

[@jacobgeorge5428]

@@adamferjani8985 Yeah good point. I guess I jumped the gun a bit but 1)it wasn't looking good though & 2)It was disappointing for Villa fans & the club

[@adamferjani8985]

Apologies. No one likes a smart arse. Ha. No it was not but you have to look at job he was asked and the owner at the time. Doubt he wanted to field kids in the prem. Also the other jobs were hidings to nothing. Think he will be fine at us given time and summer to rebuild. Reckon we will get hammered sunday though, but be good to make a game out of it.
