'WHAT'S THE DERBY LIKE FOR AN IPSWICH FAN'? - THE TNC PODCAST #44

It's the week of the East Anglian Derby, a derby that probably doesn't mean that much to anyone that doesn't support either Ipswich or Norwich but means the world to anyone connected to either club. This is the battle of the East Anglia. This week we welcome on Benjamin Bloom from the Blue Monday Podcast so he can have his say from the Ipswich camp. Enjoy!

[@tobiaspaterson6507]

You can sense even Jack is a little embarrassed by Chris. Nothing wrong with a bit of rival banter but get it out of the way in the first 5 minutes and have a proper conversation.

[@kieranbleasby6503]

Respect Jack, top bloke and good to see you and Ben having a proper chat considering how uninspiring this game will be. Shame I can't say the same about Chris

[@samuelburrows2767]

Ipswich fan here - enjoyed the podcast a lot, thanks, and loved hearing a (mostly) grown-up discussion between rivals. Maybe Chris is a little young for this though? A lot of his comments detracted from the conversation. Jack, you're a quality host, and my favourite Norwich fan. And Ben, you're a true gent, and you did us proud.

[@davebezz10]

As a neutral (Rotherham fan), Chris shouldn’t be on the channel. He’s very arrogant as well as unprofessional. I think he definitely puts a negative effect on the channel and videos in general. I used to watch all the videos but his arrogance has really put me off which is a shame. Jack does a superb job, good luck to NCFC.

[@deejam2045]

I’ve watched a few of Ben’s videos before and I’ve been impressed with him. He conducted himself in such a professional way and didn’t rise to the bait. Chris, seriously mate. Little bit of arrogance is fine but to not even shake the guys hand?

[@soaked23]

I'm normally a defender of Chris but he was incredibly rude and unprofessional here, and credit to the Ipswich fan for not telling him to 'piss off'. The endless digs from Chris made this very hard to watch and frankly if Chris is so incapable of being polite and civil to a podcast guest then he shouldn't have been on this episode.

[@ashjonas9784]

What happened to shake hands on Derby day? From one Canary to another, you've let yourself down there Chris.

[@coyy9106]

Keep Chris away from all things TNC. Chris is a prime example of an ignorant fan blowing derby competition out of proportion.

[@_booth7992]

OTBC nice to see even Norwich fans can see how ignorant and childish he is.

[@drylunch6400]

OTBC I totally agree. I love banta. I’m ipswich. All Chris is doing is making himself and TNC look childish and amateur. It’s a bit embarrassing even for the club. Just like Ipswich crazy is to us. I watched a few of these and he does it often... Every football club is tinpot to him. He slags off managers for celebrating, other teams fans etc. On his twitter page he has taken pictures of Ipswich fans (old) and mugged the off. He really comes across childish. That sort of behaviour will land him in a bit of trouble one day and let’s face it wouldn’t last long. Jack is a good lad. I watch the channel occasionally to see what you boys are up to. All the best Jack and TNC.

[@dylantalksaboutstuff4030]

Love the Name

[@christianwise3102]

Fair play to Ben, came across well unbiased for an Ipswich fan. Chris on the other hand, trying to get a dig in every 5 seconds just takes away from the whole podcast. Just being fairly ignorant about it, calls every other club tinpot he's coming across as a joke. David Brent esque dare I say it.

[@cherries4life387]

Sorry couldn't watch the whole podcast.. Chris was just killing the conversation!

[@jdfnorton8570]

City fan here, Jack very professional presentation as always. Have occasionally watched Benjamin on his channel, excellent analyst and comes over as a thoroughly nice guy.Christopher.....banter and ‘passion’ for your team only gets you so far before it gets really really really tedious.Otherwise good video and keep up the good work Jack

[@NoName-gj3xm]

For an Ipswich fan. This guy is sound. Get rid of Chris and have him every week.

[@kieranbleasby6503]

We're all sound😉

[@_booth7992]

That Chris fella constantly trying to get little digs in but Ben not reacting cause, ya know... he’s a grown man trying to have a conversation...

[@drylunch6400]

Barney Booth credit to Jack though.

[@_booth7992]

Joe Crisp Completely. Seems like a nice guy.

[@jeffwyatt590]

It would be good if Chris was a little less biased - Benjamin seems like a very reasonable chap

[@lewisolley4573]

It’s alright most Norwich fans dislike him anyway

[@alexross4364]

Barney Booth he is just joking mate calm yerself

[@JT-qd3ws]

Shitstorm incoming on Chris hahaha

[@jayporter2174]

fair play jack ya mates a knob

[@mrchode3641]

JayP nugget

[@brumav9779]

I don't necessarily hate Chris but his constant digs were pretty annoying and disrespectful. I understand the rivalry and all but sometimes there's no need for it on certain occasions.

[@alfiewattam5557]

Neither a City or Town fan, but a big TNC fan. I’ve also never really had a problem with Chris but He really got on my nerves this podcast. Jack handled the occasion very well, the Ipswich fan was a gent throughout but Chris was just obnoxious. Talking with such little care for the guest in the podcast was classless. A potentially very good occasion ruined, disappointed.

[@mattpower4961]

I honestly don’t think Chris is a bad guy and I do understand the rivalry. But Chris really needs to show some respect. Bit disappointed as a Norwich fan

[@namakudamono]

Ben’s a good guy, I enjoy watch his match reviews...very detailed, written on a notepad like an old fashioned reporter! Good stuff!

[@geoffpoole9107]

Thanks, lads. Please have Ben on to preview the next East Anglian derby.

[@dazzx]

Nice to see the podcast come out so close to the video, cheers 🥂 keep up the good work

[@michaelpentti-smith809]

Norwich have had lower attendances than 13 thousand since 1998. Did Chris go to Norwich before they were promoted to the Prem in 2004?

[@mrchode3641]

Michael Pentti-Smith you do realise we got 25k in league one week in week out?

[@ThisIsBarcode]

Mr Chode You should put a star on your shirt for that stat 👌

[@mrchode3641]

ThisIsBarcode It's a thing Ipswich will never have. One of the main reasons we're the bigger club. Don't try and deny it

[@kianfinn8941]

Mr Chode your not a bigger club then them 😂

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

@@mrchode3641ipswich are getting 26/29,000 in league one

[@alexmills5774]

Yeah the guy with glasses is embarrassing. He talks about being tinpot but his behaviour is tinpot and contradicts himself a few times with all the history obsession

[@canarygirl73]

Great podcast lads👏🏻👍🏻😁 I really enjoyed it. Am always nervous round derby day but agree with the #don’tbeadick on derby day.

[@ciaocoveney8351]

Haven't watched TNC for a while because of unprofessional and childish Chris. Ben is a mature, nice guy and Jack held it together. This podcast reaffirmed my decision to boycott TNC a few months back. Bring back Breakfast with TNC and dump Chris. As a Norwich fan I was humbled by Bens behaviour and embarrassed by Chris.

[@harleymarshall8955]

From an Ipswich fan I've got give you guys credit for this.Great spirited debate,fair play Jack and Chris for getting Ben on for the Ipswich point of view and having a top debate!

[@jayporter2174]

Bialkoswki is better than Gunn

[@sachnxtra5876]

Derby fan here, I respect jack top bloke but Chris is nob head ain't gonna lie Norwich aren't even bigger then Ipswich. Norwich never won anything in there history big

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

They won two milk cups and that’s all. They celebrate their six games in Europe and losing home and away to inter Milan in the third round. Ipswich have won the league, fa cup, uefa cup and given England Ramsey and Robson. Norwich are bitter because of it.

[@jppongo06]

This could have been a really interesting conversation between two rivals, however, Chris ruined it by picking petty fights and making immature comments. Would it have been better without Chris???

[@trebs7878]

Ipswich fan here, really enjoyed it. Didn't even mind Chris and his digs, thought they were quite fun to be honest. Great job by all.

[@pauleastwood45]

Lad on the right - learn some decorum. Seen the lad on the left do videos before and he's a lot better in this - hats off to you. You representing Kronenborg!? Hope they've approved ;) However you both ( especially guy on the right ) need to learn off Benjamin - who in podcasts is an absolute Rolls Royce.

[@TiNiET0M]

Fair play to Ben and nice to see a civilised discussion as well.

[@pauleastwood45]

Also, to not shake a hand unless it was scripted pre video - is just embarrassing. Your massively letting down your club. You're old enough to know a lot better.

[@inzamamatemyparatha]

The none handshake thing was quite funny, not a thing. I think all East Anglian fans should welcome this sort of engagement. Yes, some of it was frivolous, throw-away, etc., but you have to cater for the lowest common denominator! Generally good badinage. Well done Ben.

[@horsehollerer]

Really enjoyed that. Jack, you've got some serious talent. Ben, great stuff as always. Although when Chris was praising Norwich's point at Derby I was hoping you might mention our SEVEN away wins at Pride Park since 2008 :) Cheers guys. COYB.

[@joshuawilson3099]

Up until recently I had the traditional "fuck Ipswich" approach that many Canaries' fans have, but they've been impressing me with their maturity and attitude lately. I feel they've been really well represented in this podcast as well and I wanna take the time to tip my hat to the boys in blue. Still, here's me still incredibly hyped for derby day! Welcome to the nest, lads - we're gonna crush you.

[@andysmith9297]

In Chris' desire to be some sort of controversialist, he really let down the otherwise valuable debate offered by Jack and Benjamin. His unprovoked digs at seemingly every opportunity were hard to watch; Benjamin does well not to sink to this level of pettiness. You can tell Jack is having to work so hard to keep the podcast on topic. I think what was weirdest was that having conducted himself with such arrogance, Chris can only predict a 1-1 draw for his mighty Norwich team against the supposedly rubbish Ipswich side.

[@rich25100]

Ben is a class act. Although I hope he has a bad day Sunday.

[@jenstu3763]

Not a Norwich fan but enjoy Jack's videos , Fair play to the Ipswich fan Ben came across very well. Chris just comes across a real smug knob and a dislikeable bloke

[@henryfenton9233]

That Chris is a total bellend

[@youjustgotmerkedtv]

Chris is so smug which usually annoys me but I was in stitches , well done lads

[@sampalmer5038]

Getting a bit annoyed with all the people in the comments section having a dig at Chris. U can tell that he’s obviously joking and having a bit of friendly and they’re obviously mates off camera

[@michaelbowers541]

Sunderland are Sunderland 🙄👍

[@dylantalksaboutstuff4030]

Chris - "Just shit basically"

[@ncfcjoe]

Have to say, for a binner that guy comes across pretty well

[@jacobgeorge5428]

It's absolutely embarrassing as a Norwich fan, that we've disrespected hoolahan (who's still a wizard) by not even including him in the 18 anymore. Actually emotionally painful to see him shunned to the side.

[@tomc4935]

Okay to be fair this Ipswich guy was a good guy and Chris was just being Chris aha.

[@marksims68]

What's the derby like for an Ipswich fan? The greatest of all victories, the worst of all defeats, being on a train full of Norwich fans going back to Thetford after the league cup semi final in 1985 with a few people that knew me laughing in my face. Going back to Carrow Road a few weeks later and winning 2-0 to almost relegate Norwich and laughing in the faces of the same people. Celebrating on the pitch after the 2-1 win in 1996 including THAT Byan Gunn howler, leaving the ground near full time after Norwich put the fifth goal in at portman road in 2011 (still have nightmares............) and most of all, the INTENSITY. A lot of young Norwich fans have never known a derby defeat (not surprising..........) and trust me it HURTS!!! Being 49 years old I have a lot of east anglian derby battle scars, its the one game you DARE NOT lose. Let battle commence again on Sunday, and I predict a hard fought draw. But anything can happen, I predicted Brazil to win the world cup semi in 2014, what do I know??? Predictions eh??

[@alanharvey8763]

Adult debate and conversation from Jack and especially Ben... Chris - a bit embarrassing and rude... would understand if Ben was a bell end but he is far from it, showed a lack of respect

[@nickmullerITFC78]

when ipswich beat norwich or norwich beat ipswich its like winning the world cup for the fans

[@globalbloodstock]

Can’t believe that I am typing this but Ben comes across as a nice guy...ahhh! I need a proper scummer to get me hyped up before Sunday now

[@domjf6]

probably the only down to earth Ipswich fan

[@patrickoreg4711]

I love Chris personally

[@bryan2266]

Are you going to Wolves away on Wednesday night ??

[@Cutajar7]

Does anyone know if Edwards will be in the squad?

[@nickmullerITFC78]

chris the biggest derby games were the milk cup semi final 1985 you won

[@olliesmith2001]

Great podcast, but that Chris bloke is an absolute embarrassment to all Norwich fans. Arrogance can be funny, but huge swing and a miss here.

[@chammon2]

Chris, Grow up mate.

[@canary7214]

Oh that's so funny go to 7.26 "You say about your home form, well our away form's not that great" then see Jack and Chris' wry smiles LOLOLOLOL

[@TheFrenzicHD]

Srbeny Hatrick, Calling it....

[@Lewis-kn1rp]

Great podcast!!! Coyy💚💛

[@nickmullerITFC78]

good video i enjoyed it

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

Chris just comes across as chippy and defensive and nervous. Hides behind arrogance and pub level bore attitude. It’s just football, it’s there to be enjoyed. Intelligent people can be civil and enjoy a rivalry.

[@jacobgeorge5428]

I feel sick before derbys and I'm a Norwich fan.

[@nickmullerITFC78]

i feel sick days before the game

[@ThisIsBarcode]

The TNC lad on the left seems to have matured since mocking the disabled Ipswich fan...the Chris fella though is a proper oxygen thief. Fair play to Ben for showing professionalism throughout.

[@brumav9779]

Białkowski is a better keeper than Gunn as well.

[@mrchode3641]

Visof HAHAHHAHAHAHAH DELUDED

[@mrchode3641]

Visof you are genuinely deluded if you think that. Just stop.

[@matthewsmith8727]

They are both shit

[@mrchode3641]

Matthew Smith Clearly not are they you absolute mong. Gunn will be one of the best English keepers around when he's at his prime and theirs isn't bad, he's just not as good. You clueless div.

[@tonyhenry3764]

Mr Chode having watched both a lot, bart is definitely the better keeper right now, Gunn distributes better but that’s about it.

[@gco4362]

Blue army

[@willread6801]

The Ipswich games on my birthday so I ain’t going...... To do anything on my birthday I’m going to the game

[@pauleastwood45]

It's all well to be good, cocky and state a combined side should be a Norwich 11. Well, you've got parachute £££ and to date we're ahead of you. Sure, you should beat us Sunday - and of course you should. Your side is much better than ours. However, you've massively underachieved this season. I predicted you 4th - I suppose your the 4th lowest scorers to date. With the talent you have, your position is absolutely hilarious. The parachute ££££ is about to dry up.... ouch.

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

Chris is just your pub level not very bright football fan. Ben and Jack are brighter.

[@lennylaa1686]

Barnsley desperate to get Mick McCarthy; can you help Ipswich?

[@itseleanor_3338]

benjamin, seems like a decent ipswich fan, but I still want us to win, when was the last time we had a 0-0? I am going for a 0-0

[@fredrednall6299]

Well I know what Derby Day is like for Ipswich. Hell.

[@bouncerclaws996]

I thought Russel brand was a west ham fan

[@0pposable]

why would you invite a knowledgeable guest on just to treat them like dirt? even jack who is meant to be the 'good one' is cackling like a little girl at his brothers pointless swipes

[@sufyaanirfan4962]

Dpn't care what anyone says Chris is fuckin bants

[@grainymaggots]

For the sake of the channel Jack, get rid of Chris! He's just dragging the channel down and sucking the joy out of all your videos

[@footballmad2876]

Norwich 1-1 Ipswich (prediction)

[@alexhart4763]

Chris mentioned unprofessional and tin pot.....thought he was talking about himself! I get banter between rival fans but not sure point of podcast if your just going to be obnoxious.

[@lordmiuvkgny2412]

Chris is too cringe. Can tell Jesus wanted to drop him

[@alexross4364]

Y does everyone hate Chris he is allowed to hate the rivals and take the piss out of them haha ?

[@tdoggy8378]

Chris needs to grow up, Ben handled it amazingly and not reacting to him. (Btw Bialkowski is better but whateverrrrr...)

[@frankypearcey8650]

Love it Chris

[@chrisreeve5905]

‪Regarding podcast feedback - thank you. We had all discussed prior to filming I was going to joke around with Benjamin. Jack is very good at being mediator - I am a passionate Norwich fan. Would like to apologise to those who didn’t enjoy my tone. ‬

[@Chrisb286]

Lets not be too confident, it might come back and bite us, Not a fan of all the build up, too much talking

[@pauleastwood45]

Hahahahhaha ' over 50% ' chance of play offs. Are you on drugs? 4th lowest goalscorers in the league apparently and top 6!? really!? Drugs confirmed - Madison is better than Wilshire. Please tell me which drug you use and I will point you in the correct direction.

[@charliesummers9001]

Well... Chris didn’t hold back😂

[@drylunch6400]

Charlie Summers yes but he’s a prat.

[@bradleywright2516]

Cute watching them comparing teams. One team with a lot of history in Ipswich and another who has nothing and just been a yo yo club in Norwich. Championship football is where these two teams belong

[@Cutajar7]

History is irrelevant. It is about how good you are now.

[@mrchode3641]

Brad Wright I bet you support a club that you don't even go to games

[@Cutajar7]

Mr Chode lol I'm a Norwich season ticket holder. I hate people like you who likes football eventhough you don't have a clue about it.

[@bradleywright2516]

Mr Chode Okay.

[@bradleywright2516]

HJAZombieMayhem what because Ipswich are more relevant?

[@dominicmccabe3779]

It's just an irrelevant derby

[@ThomasWilliams89]

a hipster Charles II

[@mattpower4961]

I honestly don’t think Chris is a bad guy and I do understand the rivalry. But Chris really needs to show some respect. Bit disappointed as a Norwich fan
