I remember about ten years ago going to see a band in a room above a pub in East London. It was West Ham country and they were on the TV downstairs. The place was packed and the locals were singing that bubbles song. I was wearing a QPR shirt and walked right through the pub without anyone saying a word. My mate (a hammers fan) was surprised, but I wasn't. At the time we were in the third tier, crap and an irrelevance to 'big clubs' like West Ham. I'm going that way next week. Not sure I'll wear my colours though!!!
I think people are going to hate you for nicking everyone else's transfer targets. You're signing people just for the sake of it. Typical Mark Hughes approach.
No that was signings like Nelson, Green and Johnson. Now we are finally signing some class. Ive looked at other forums and people seem pretty jealous because their clubs didnt sign the players. I havent looked at the Arsenal forum but Im sure you could do with a CB so there will be some complaints if we get Kjaer.
You always looks suspect defensively and your fans have been wanting a CB, including you. http://www.not606.com/showthread.ph...mours-Thread?p=3403511&viewfull=1#post3403511
Kjaer is versatile, he wouldn't be a starter at CB, more likely fill in at RB. Wanyama would be a really nice signing though. We haven't conceded yet this season, in 2 games you've conceded 6.
Its 2 games, you cant draw any conclusions from that apart from the fact we we shocking against Swansea.
I'm a Liverpool fan. I neither like or dislike QPR. I'm not at all convinced that signing so many players in such a short period of time, regardless of quality is necessarily a good idea. I don't dislike City for their opulence... a little jealous perhaps and dislike the fairweather fans who came out of the woodworks when they won the Sheik lottery... overall think if any club had to hit the money and it wasn't my own- couldn't happen to a nicer club. Chelsea fans get hated so much- not just for their wealth- but Mourinho ensured the club would be hated with his arrogance, which unfortunately rubbed off on a large number of the fans. QPR I have no emotion for positive or negative... maybe slightly negative due to the fact you're a London club- but that's not your fault! (Natural North-Westerners suspicion of the South) Ultimately- whether I like or despise you in the future will depend on how your fans react to your wealth. So far being exiled to the US I haven't encountered too many QPR fans in the last few years- and I don't run into many of you online. If fans start hating you just for your wealth- you can rest assured that they are almost certainly hypocrites who would be more than happy should their club become rich... be nice... be respectful and don't act arrogant if you start having successes and I think the number of haters will be less than that of what Chelsea acquired. Rest assured there will be many that hate you out of jealousy anyway. Good luck for the season.
We've hardly spent anything though. Have a look at Norway's post above. I haven't got a clue what wages we are paying but I doubt they're as huge as people would believe. Chelsea have just forked out nigh on £80m and god knows what in wages etc, ( This transfer window alone. ) no one bats an eyelid. Man City have forked out on average £23m per player. No one bats an eyelid! Even Sunderland have spent million upon millions more than us, again, no one notices. After so many years of pain and we get a handful of players in, of which very few, if any are household names and every fan of every other club goes garrity. And to get it from a Liverpool fan who only last season spent £35m on Andy Carroll is quite franckly taking the piss. Let us enjoy our little day out in the sun. It may work out, and then again it may not. At least we're not being vulgar like so many other clubs are.
"To get what" from a Liverpool fan. I neither attacked your club nor attacked your spending... in fact I'm pretty sure I did the opposite. Seem to be wearing paranoia glasses. Under Dalglish we started spending stupid money on crazy transfers. It was a waste and most fans of Liverpool are disgusted by it... especially in hindsight.
Hi guys, as a Fulham fan I'm actually OK with you and Chelsea (bit of banter and sparring, but definitely not hatred). There are a couple of other clubs that I hold in deep contempt - one in London, one in the North west. I do dislike Hughes though - there again so do a fair number of you. Good luck guys!
Nice one nines. What people need to understand is that a lot of the qpr players were brought in by the old manager and have either been not good enough or not in the plans. Agree we have got in a lot of new players but without new blood we would struggle. We are backed by the 4th richest man in the world, as well as TF who is no mug but also people who are also mega rich that are involved. We will not be a pompey and we are not 'panic buying'. The board has a vision to make us bigger and better. sadly certain people are jealous of us because their club don't have the same owners or money. TBH i couldn't give a 't#ss' what people think because i have supported QPR all my life and i have seen some very dark times at the club and we are in a new era and i will enjoy it.
