Disgrace? No, I don't think so. Reading your post qpaaaaaaarrgghh, the word melodramatic springs to mind. Thought you were going to break out into one of those joke Hitler football rants on you tube then!!
Soopermack, no problem with your post and opinion, plus valiant efforts to back it up, keep it coming. My response was personal - I really disliked that team and it's attitude, some of the personalities (Hamman, Gould, Jones, Wise......), resorting to intimidation etc etc. you may be perfectly right in comparing us to them, I just find it depressing.
In amongst all this, I've noticed not one person has rejected the idea of moving to sw19?! Ha ha...... ;-)
FFS, as a lover of the style of fast paced attacking style of the man utd team of a few years back, I too do not want to watch our games being played 30 foot up in the air. On the plus side, it would be closer to the press gantry so maybe they'll for once write about one of our matches as if they were actually there!!
Rant may be but when it comes to the likes of Jones and what he stood for then there is no middle ground. This is why so many of us find it impossible to accept Joey Barton. We have had our bad times but QPR are still grounded in a tradition of good football rather than success at any cost. Long may it remain so.
So disgusted with joey Barton that you promptly handed in your season ticket and vowed never to step foot in Loftus road again, until he is sacked immediately? No, I thought not! Hypocrite, my friend. Fan power.....
Again another silly quote! Why let one player stop you going to watch your club, we were here before him and will still be here long after he leaves.
Not a silly quote at all. If, as he suggests, so many fans find it IMPOSSIBLE to accept him being at the club, why didn't they protest outside the ground and demand a meeting with the qpr hierarchy? Or is it easier to hide behind a faceless name on a forum?? That's all for me on this thread, as those who have opposed my views haven't given a single intelligent response...
Sadly true. We have the highest average age of the other teams at 29.6 years with Stoke behind us at 29. Some of the other not too far away with 27. (From the stats link that you kindly gave me, Flyer)
Yep disappear before anyone can respond! Quarter pounder? More like a snack box special! It would take more than that moron to stop me supporting my team. There is no need to protest outside the ground in this day and age as the twitter campaign to get rid of the tango away shirts proved .
Not such a bad comparison and if we can have half the spirit of that Wimbledon team with the quality we now have we'll do fine. Hill, Derry, Diakite, Barton, Mackie, Cisse and others wouldn't have been out of place at all back in the day.
I think the days of burning the gaffers wellies have been sadly replaced by the necessity to be professional (or at least try) at all costs. The characters that used to be such good value in all sports went out with the advent of sports psychology and the need for focus, discipline and finding the zone. We have characters and hard competitors but that level of freedom and camaraderie are a thing of the past. Also, as another thread on here shows (and applies to all teams) the stability in terms of long standing players simply isn't there. I like the fact that the team have gelled on tour but feel that's as much in a footballing sense. Nice thought though.
