The game will be on TV though surely? I'll be tuned in, Eid Al-Fitr holidays here so off til Tuesday. Will try to shut it all out beforehand, off to the beach now and will fire up the BBQ then watch the inevitable surrender. Having watched Southampton have a right go at Arsenal last night, is it asking too much to expect the same spirit from the R's?

I think you may not want to hear the answer to your question. :)
 
Knowing QPR, today’s game against title securing Burnley will go either of two ways:
1. A heartbreaking injury time defeat after a heroic 90 minutes performance in which we amazingly actually took the lead. As per Aguero/Man City scenario.

2. Conceding an early goal followed by an utter capitulation as Burnley gleefully run riot in a party atmosphere. Put your money on 6 or 7-0.

I’m afraid I can only see scenario number two.
Get the prayer mats out.

What's Jamie Mackie up to these days?

No2 for me too I'm afraid.
 
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
 
Would love to see Armstrong playing off Dykes’ flick ons.
Tell them all to embrace the game as a free hit. Nobody expects them to get anything out of it (including me) so play with freedom and without nerves.
A surprise start for Armstrong might just give Burnley’s defenders plenty to think about and an uncomfortable afternoon

Whilst I do not disagree with anything you mentioned SB but I liked Laird earlier this season,.
If you are playing well in a team then get told to stop playing football, instead hoof the ball as far up field as possible and do a dance instead of training, I’d be skeptical
Problem is a good player is a good player. It does not depend on whether the team is winning at the time or the manager or however much he may be embarrassed at having to do the Haka. Laird went missing while Beale was still here and our disastrous run started. We ca all look good in a winning team. Trouble is when things don't go so well your own miserable efforts are thrown in to sharp focus. I'd make him clean the boots of the junior squad because I dare say if he was told to play in that team he would refuse.

Alas, Armstrong predictably only on the bench.
How does Albert start ahead of Willock or Richards?
Madness
 
So GA has made up with all those players ‘not even in the squad’ due to arguing with him. 5D’s this week!
