The greatest season in "my" club's history. Everyone's second-favourite team, Ipswich fought on multiple fronts and could have won everything, the league, the League Cup, the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup, but fell short on all but one front. But still they punched above their weight by some magnitude. And with Bobby Robson at the helm, this was an incomparable season in the history of the club. This is a true labour of love so any question will be taken seriously and and worked on with diligence. Thank you in advance for your interest in the article and any time you might spend making this a definitive season coverage. The Rambling Man ( Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 22:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
I went ahead and archived all links in the article, except for the ones already in the British Newspaper Archive. Just an heads up, the Times article from 2004 is dead and I couldn't find an archive for it. RetiredDuke ( talk) 18:32, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

OK, thanks for fixing the link for the first image, TRM. For the second image, possibly if Howcheng, who originally uploaded the photo in 2008, can help, that would be great, otherwise I'm satisfied to assume good faith. Moisejp ( talk) 19:06, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
It all looks good, then. Thank you. Moisejp ( talk) 14:57, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Leaving the claret and blue at the door for this one :)
Ipswich had ended the previous campaign...Would it be simpler to say "Ipswich had finished the previous season in third place...", etc; that would also avoid the repetition of "...that season's...That season..."
final Saturday of the League season, any need for that last "season"?
his first of a prolific season to come—how about making this a separate sentence, such as "This was his/the first of a..."
picking up maximum points, what say ye to those benighted folks who don't already know the AF scoring system?
Top scorer for the season...European Cup?
Ipswich ended the month in third place in the league, does it read okay with just the latter?
Town's performance was similar; is "Town" intentional, or has "Ipswich" been lost?
inflicting their second league defeat of the season on IpswichHow about "...inflicting Ipswich's second league defeat of the season"? Or even just "...inflicting Ipswich's second defeat of the season"?
twelfth anniversary as Ipswich manager, and a 5–1 defeat...
manager Alan Durban to remark, since Robson remarked above, how about Durban commenting, or something?
Ipswich easily won the replay 3–0, I wonder if we really need "easily"?
with goals from Eric Gates (2) and John Wark, his 25th goal in...Possibly (to remove bracketed goals) something like "with two goals from Eric Gates and John Wark scoring his 25th goal in..."
In a match described as "a classic FA Cup tie", by whom?
The semi-final was against Manchester City was played at...lose that first "was".
noting at the time...I think your previous remarks, etc, have been in the past tense.
Dutch player Johnny Rep put the away team in the lead...is "home team" intended here? (For what it's worth, personally I don't think his nationality adds much value—"Johnny Rep put the French into the lead" would probably work as well.)
Ipswich faced French team AS Saint-Étienne in the quarter-finals in March 1981, the first leg being held in the Stade Geoffroy-Guichardto indicate that Ipswich was playing in St Étienne's stadium, which would make them the away team? No problem with keeping the Dutch bit though. —— SN 54129 16:55, 26 April 2020 (UTC)]]

It was Wark's 13th goal of the European campaign and, perhaps? Good to get rid of "scoring" when you use "scored" a few words later.in scoring it heensured that he had
Ipswich, later recalled, "Most teams..., lower-case "m"?
This is looking good. I noticed a lack of information about Paul Cooper. In such a magnificent season, the fact that he was the club's player of the year, means he was outstanding, yet the text only mentions him when we wasn't playing! Was it that season he saved a lot of penalties? There's generally a lack of mention of defensive players, except when they scored or were absent, which is I know hard to fix, but Cooper's omission is significant. -- Dweller ( talk) Become old fashioned! 12:14, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Easily good enough for FAC. Splendid work on the dark side, TRM. -- Dweller ( talk) Become old fashioned! 07:53, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
This article looks great from a quick glance and am reserving a spot for comments. Hoping you could provide comments to MAX Yellow Line in return. -- truflip99 ( talk) 22:24, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
This equalled José Altafini's record of 14 goals for Milan in the 1962–63 European Cup.-- suggest adding to this so that it communicates that this was (1) the highest record at the time it was accomplished (2) later surpassed
drawing with Leeds United, Liverpool and Manchester United, and a win at Sunderland-- perhaps better as "winning"?
Terry Butcher was suspended, having been sent off in the Southampton match.-- I would link Sent off (association football) for readers who don't know what this entails
still playing in three competitions-- perhaps link this phrase with Fixture congestion just to connect what you stated in the lead
Ipswich needed to win both games to remain in the title chase, and led 1–0 at half-time against Middlesbrough at Ayresome Park...-- consider splitting
courtesy of a Paul Mariner brace, and a goal from Russell Osman-- why comma here?
There they faced Birmingham City...-- From* there?
The match ended in a goalless draw forcing a replay...-- comma
I collided with in a collision with Dave Bennett during an aerial challenge.-- if this is the actual quote, might need [sic].
Although Aris scored a third through midway through the second half-- grammar?
the only negative being a trip to hospital-- the* hospital
Widzew Łódź won the away leg 1–0 with Marek Pięta [pl] scoring for the hosts...-- comma
I think that's it from me. Great read. -- truflip99 ( talk) 23:07, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Looking over...
So one minor issue above.
