    Oh, you support QPR?

    So just because we're not throwing money around like madmen we're going to go down. Swansea and Norwich didn't do too bad.

    Remind me, who of the 3 promoted sides spent the most, and who finished lowest of the 3?

    Ignore him. Looking at his history, I'd suggest he's just a QPR fan who is hacked off that Buttner appears to be favouring us over them.

    Why not take up knitting if you have nothing better to do than trying to get bites on a football forum?

    chaps dont get all upity here.....yes we chucked lots of dosh at it but we had two maniacs in charge before mr fernandes came in and a tactically naive manager in colin.....norwich survived by 'cheating' and swansealona will go down as well next season as they've been found out....lambert must do a 'holt' or you are gonna struggle to score...who are your other strikers???....7m for a burnley 'reserve'...come on now??......

    Being a Pompey fan and therefore speaking as a neutral <whistle> I have to say that the days of the three promoted sides being automatic favourites for the drop are gone.
    I think the three that have gone up have just as much chance of staying up as have, say, Norwich, Swansea, Wigan, Stoke, QPR and West Brom. That puts them any-where between 12th and 20th. Provided a single team doesn't completely implode, I think the number of points separating these positions could be very low, with just about the entire bottom half of the table involved in the relegation battle as late as the end of March.

    Should be interesting.....

    I'm sure any reasonable QPR fan would at least be giving us a small chance of survival, rather than writing us off before a ball has been kicked. After all, we finished with exactly the same no. of points as they did - and more than either Swansea or Norwich. And that despite having to deal with West Ham, Birmingham and Blackpool (the three newly relegated the previous however were the mighty Burnley, Hull and Pompey!).

    <laugh> I don't think you can criticise a newly-promoted side's strikers. You started with Jay Bothroyd and Agyemang.

    He clearly has to invent some half-baked idea as to how little old Norwich did so well. As QPR themselves proved (ironically), football is about much, much more than how a squad looks on paper. If football was played on paper, QPR would never have been in the relegation battle last season.
