P!ssed Off +1. One of the main reasons McDermott deserved to be sacked was for getting rid of Tabb when he did.
and bringing in Hope Akpan as a replacement

Hang on a mo...

Tab was released at the end of our last premiership season, having been an almost ever-present under Brian, meaning that it was Adkins that released him.

Bit of both I think. Bri told him he didn't have a future and could find a new club in Jan. Sent him on loan to Ipswich where he signed permanently at the end of the season. Adkins could have probably recalled him, but he was initially shown the door by McDermott.

Yeah a quick google shows he went on loan in march for a month after Bri told him in January he could go. My bad then, didn't remember that bit of the story.

But one of the most committed and hard working, both qualities rarely seen in the squad this season and greatly missed.

Which is of course why he's won a title and had two (? ) play off campaigns

Shits all over Akpan and Cisse for example.

Probably the team rather than the individual brilliance of Tabb.

ITFC_Keane We lost 3-2 at Blackburn but your superb win at Derby means we're in the Play-off's!

So we couldn't do it on our own but your boys showed up and did it for us. Forever grateful.

Cheers boys. We'll probably get hammered by the Scum, but we're there!!!



ITFC-Keane, welcome.
However, please remember you are now entering the Royal County and we expect you to behave like a gentleman. Please refrain from using such scurrilous and I'll bred phrases when referring to your impending opponents.
Thank you.

It's funny to hear an Ipswich fan describing Norwich fans as Scum. They usually call Norwich fans 'budgies' and Norwich fans reciprocate with 'binners' for their Ipswich opponents. He's ramped it up a bit there.

As for the various merits of the two places I'll let anyone who has been to the two and made an assessment to make their own conclusions.

Let's just say it's not looking good for Ipswich on that one.

are you the ONE person who voted for the scum in my poll on GF, Norrers?

tbh I'm surprised they have so few votes.

I asked who we wanted to win the playoffs. Norwich have only one vote (31 Brentford, 7 Ipswich, 4 Boro).

Oh I see, well that's interesting. I would have thought most Reading fans would not want Brentford to win the play offs as it's a good away day.

Good luck in the P/O's. I'd much rather you lot went up rather than the other three!

Interesting view. I'd say Karacan and Tabb aren't too disimilar. Both work hard and hustle and bustle, but neither offer a great deal more.

Agreed.

Both the "never expected him to play in the Championship" and "one of our best players in the Premier League" views are ridiculous.

Much better than Akpan, not quite as good as Karacan.

Have to say I thought Tabb had a reasonable level of talent. In fact he was part of the Howard/Tabb/Sig midfield that ran rings around opponents towards the end of McD's first half season. For me it was his lack of presence and pace that perhaps let him down a little at times, but certainly not to the extent that I'd say he's anything less than a very capable Champ player.
