They beat them 3-0 to open the 1978-79 season. I think they beat them in 1982.Probably the only time Ipswich beat Man U. (Not to be confused "Notlob". Obtuse Monty Python reference.)
There's a lot of empty space up there.How do you remember this stuff?
:biggrin:
Think? We demand better!I think they beat them in 1982.
That is the Beeb for you. I have lots of bidnis associates who are from there, so I hear all their stories.Seriously - they had a huge pregame build-up to the day in soccer and then DID NOT TELEVISE any of them when I lived there. Imagine watching "NFL Today" and then them saying they'd be back in three hours to go over the results of the days games (or as they said there, "final scores of today's football fixtures").
I could have sworn that was Argentina.
Well, since you're going to reply seriously to a joke, in the 1930s and 1940s Brazil was home to the largest population of Germans outside of Germany.I could have sworn that was Argentina.
Haha didn't know that bit of info...if Argentina wins, I'll have a joke or two on Facebook.Well, since you're going to reply seriously to a joke, in the 1930s and 1940s Brazil was home to the largest population of Germans outside of Germany.
I even know that in 1978 some of the players had names like Brian and Jimmy Greenhoff, Paddy Roche (the goalie), Gordon McQueen, Martin Buchan, and Lou Macari.Probably the only time Ipswich beat Man U. (Not to be confused "Notlob". Obtuse Monty Python reference.)

Nottingham Forest won both the league and the League Cup (beating Liverpool in a replay), Ipswich won the FA Cup (which was about like the Mets winning the World Series), and Liverpool won the European Cup. I think Man Utd finished something like 8th or so that year while Ipswich was like fifth from the bottom (Queens Park Rangers, Leicester, and Newcastle Utd were relegated).

I just wanted to give joy to my people who suffer so much for so many things. I'd like to apologize.
Wow.Germany won 2-1 and the Germans paraded down its main street, with a huge black, gold and red banner with the score on it and singing "Deutschland über Alles," including the forbidden verse...
"Wow" is right. Ulvik housed a garrison of "Volksdeutsch," German speakers, in this case of Romanian origin, during WWII. When they left, they burned the entire village, with the exception of the church. 1974 wasn't that far distanced from 1944 at the time, same as now and 1984. The town was set up mostly as a resort town for British. All menus, etc., were in English and Norwegian. The dollar had crashed in 1972 (I got stuck in Switzerland then) and Norway had become too expensive for them (really for us also). As a result, there was a flood of German tourists in town, with suddenly very valuable Deutschmarks, to fill the vacuum. As you might assume, the townspeople weren't so friendly to Germans. I ended up being a involuntary translator for Germans, since the Norwegians pretended not to understand it.Wow.
I'd imagine a riot or two is in order...it's Karma, well earned for spending a reported $14 Billion while such a large part of their population starves in ramshackle shanty towns
