    It's our podcast's final episode and we have saved the best for last as we talk about those great East Anglian rivals Norwich City and Ipswich Town. Episode 5 is an epic including:

    Football cycles as we are on a downward spiral and Town are on the rise (excuse to get this podcast out before the famous unbeaten run ends!).

    We talk about the rivalry and derbies in general.

    We recall our first derbies. A top-of-the-table clash, winning away at Portman Road, Friday nights under the lights, Cureton's green hair, and the Gunny air-shot.

    Significant games (there are so many) FA Cup wins, title destroyers, semi-final successes, top of the league, the 9 v 2 ...........

    Player connections and best goals.

    The lads conclude on a special game and look back fondly on their podcast adventure - Until the next time........on the ball city.

    It's a doubleheader with Blackpool coming swiftly after the WBA episode.

    Blackpool the iconic away trip gets the lads thinking about what makes the perfect away trip and any they have been on that comes to mind.

    We try to recall the last meetings and a 7,1 aggregate win in 2014/15

    Player connections? Wes Hoolahan is obvious but there are many more as some obscure ex-Canaries get a mention.

    Finally, we talk about a forgotten semi-final. The League Cup was in its infancy but important as Norwich went on to win a first domestic cup
