    Well he seems to have divided opinion among us.

    So how long do you think he will last this season........(Total time on pitch)

    Answers have to be in at least seconds.

    He gets himself fit, gets picked and trips over the mascot on the way on the pitch. He never makes it on completely but one of his hairs crosses the whole of the line before said hair catches fire and drifts slowly into the sky (like a Chinese lantern).

    He subsequently gets diagnosed with the recently discovered Kieron Dyer syndrome* (why him????)and is forced to spend the rest of his existence in a zorb type bubble. Despite this, QPR oddly decide to keep him on the books (strictly on a pay-as-you-roll deal) until his late 80s (a new record for oldest player).

    His replacement in the 25 man squad is a medium who carries his urn onto the pitch while chanting incantations from the spirit world (where he is suffering from a stubbed toe).


    * Kieron Dyer's disease symtoms:-
    1) Inexplicably enhanced recover/rehabilitation.
    2) Mind control that makes whoever is watching him believe that point 1 is actually some kind of incredible feat.
    3) A heightened state of influence over people in the proximity of training grounds thus incrementing the effects of point 2.
    4) Bones that turn to sawdust at the sound of a whistle.
    5) Ligaments that Twang like a 70 year old rubber band when they are within 2 feet of grass.
    6) The ability to sign a new contract from the confines of a zorb-like bubble.
    7) The repeated and uncontrollable urge to shout "Do you know who I am?" while trying to set fire to £50 pound notes (due to acid flashbacks to your youth in Ipswich).

    He'll be mugged in the dressing room on the opening day by the Loftus Road squirrel and break both kneecaps whilst trying to retain his nuts...:grin:

    Who knows? Surely Hughes wouldnt have given him a year if he wasnt confident on him at least being able to play 15 games.

    According to Wiki, 2006-07 was the last time he managed more than 12 games in a season.

    The future always looks good with him. Unfortunately always followed by misfortune and numerous setbacks....

    I think people forget that Dyer was a top player, but must have pissed off a gypsy somewhere along the line who has placed a curse on him.

    We should all be hoping the guy does stay fit because then we'll have a top player for nothing. Let's be positive instead of negative all the bloody time.

    Waste of time all that money spent on a manager; we don't need one apparently.

    I think our head of sport science, Damian Rodden has asked to keep him as a personal science project. He prides himself on injury prevention. If he can keep Dyer fit he'll deserve a knighthood.

    I'm going for a very optimistic 5 and partly limited by others being picked ahead of him

    Sorry, I just can't agree with that.

    He was a talented player but spent years getting drunk in nightclubs and never looking after himself. He spent 4 years at West Ham picking up millions of pounds for a total of 34 appearances in 4 years. He got a basic wage even (I seem to recall it was reported at 10K per week) on his contract last year which put him in the region of 0.5M per appearance (or 70K a minute). Now in his 30s he decides to reform.

    Let's put this into perspective, in the last 5 years he's made 33% less appearances than Paolo Maldini who retired 3 years ago.

    He should stop sponging off clubs and retire. The man would snap his wrist picking up a coaching badge.

    Does 'total time on the pitch' include lifting him onto the stretcher and carrying him off?

    Well Warnock and Hughes see something you don't, they're both professional football managers and you're posting pointless stats on a web site.

    I'll give him 400-500 minutes of football this season.

    I think he'll see a lot of football this year. Mostly on Sky, of course, but he'll see a lot.

    It would have been more cost-effective to give the one-year deal to the bloody squirrel.
