		<title>Entertainment is back at Portman Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The final score against Portsmouth was disappointing but the first half performance by Ipswich was terrific entertainment, if frustrating. At half time Ipswich should have been 4 &#8211; 0 in front. Paul Jewell has turned performances around and spent little of the Marcus Evans millions. The loan signing of Jimmy Bullard has given the midfield <a href="http://www.ipswichfootie.co.uk/entertainment-is-back-at-portman-road"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<title>One swallow does not make a summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The passion and commitment was there in the snow as it was in the opening games of the season in the win over Leicester. Why don&#8217;t we see that every game ?  We all know the team can be awful in the next game so lets not get too excited until we see what they <a href="http://www.ipswichfootie.co.uk/one-swallow-does-not-make-a-summer"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<title>Academy Sponsorship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the Marcus Evans Group acquired 87.5% of Ipswich Town Football Club in January 2008 the club lost its “family run” tag. It is now big business and financed by the Marcus Evans Group. Quite rightly it has to be run like a business and consequently some staff were made redundant especially in the Academy. <a href="http://www.ipswichfootie.co.uk/academy-sponsorship-2"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<title>Oh for another Warky</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh for another player and servant to the club like John Wark. The photo was taken at the end of the 1991/92 season and Ipswich Town had finished Champions of Division Two and gained promotion to the Premiership. John Wark was playing as a centre half in that season and nearing the end of his <a href="http://www.ipswichfootie.co.uk/oh-for-another-warky"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<title>The joys of owning a Football Club</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The invisible Marcus Evans must be wondering why he purchased Ipswich Town Football Club. The outlay to the Marcus Evans Group was probably just a drop in the ocean considering his overall wealth. The trading accounts do not make good reading with further losses for the latest trading year ending 30th June 2010. It is <a href="http://www.ipswichfootie.co.uk/the-joys-of-owning-a-football-club"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<title>Reality check for Blues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the excellent start to the new season Tuesday nights game against QPR was a big disappointment. QPR were better than us in all areas of the field. The game was very similar to the one against Newcastle last season. Men versus Boys. For a home game it was strange to only play one up <a href="http://www.ipswichfootie.co.uk/reality-check-for-blues"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<title>The futures bright the futures blue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A good start to the new season. I have only seen the home game against Burnley which we should have won. There were encouraging signs in that game that there was a better team spirit and a greater determination to win. As we all know the squad has been far too big and expensive for <a href="http://www.ipswichfootie.co.uk/the-futures-bright-the-futures-blue"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<title>Liam Trotter at Wembley again.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It must be every footballers dream to play at Wembley however bad the pitch is. Liam Trotter played there last year when on loan to Scunthorpe and helped them secure a place in the Championship by beating Millwall in the League One play-off final. This year he will be turning out for Millwall and hoping he can <a href="http://www.ipswichfootie.co.uk/liam-trotter-at-wembley-again"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<title>End of term report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well the last home game of the season ended with a 0-3 defeat by Sheffied United. Ipswich played some good football in the first half, most of it started in midfield by Owen Garvin. For a home game Roy Keane opted to play five in midfield, leaving young Connor Wickham to battle on his own <a href="http://www.ipswichfootie.co.uk/end-of-term-report"><b>...Read the Rest</b></a>]]></description>

		<title>Local derbies again next season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well done Norwich in securing promotion back to the Championship. At least next season we should have one home game with a virtually full house and a bit of atmosphere!  The last home game against Doncaster was an absolute bore, a typical end of season mid table nothing to play for game.
