What about this pearl from talkSPORT's Adrian Durham prior to the season: "I genuinely believe Harry will lead QPR to a higher finish than Spurs under AVB."
On that subject, maybe some of you will agree with the comment from Joe's uncle this morning. 3) When do we start criticising Redknapp? It was around this time that Portsmouth began their great escape under Harry Redknapp in 2006 and after another defeat, this time to Manchester United, QPR will need something similar to avoid the relegation that is surely coming their way. Of course, it tends to be written out of the history books that Redknapp was Southampton's manager when they were relegated a year earlier and, though he inherited a shambles from Mark Hughes at QPR in November, supporters at Loftus Road might have expected a bit more than two wins from a manager who was widely touted for the England job last season.

We had to sell and needed the money but the Forecast bit was one of Lowe's more hair-brained ideas. Anyway best not to dwell on that now. What a role model he is for our current young crop.
There's a Saints fan on Twitter talking about how "embarrassing" it is that our fans acknowledge and celebrate Bale's achievements. Apparently Bale, Walcott etc highlight exactly why our academy is a failure and is not that good.
Not sure if it's genuine, seems to go against the flow so often that I wonder if he is deliberately being controversial. Who knows, hard to say without reading and forming own opinions.
In which possible parallel universe does this quasi-Saints fan think that the Academy is a failure..? How does he come to that reasoning..? If he said that the football club was a failure, then with events prior to 2009 he would possibly/probably have a case, achievements wise, but the Academy is the one true, no holds barred, out-n-out success story of SFC. Hopefully, with this regime, it'll transfer to the first team from now on.
Which is quite impressive considering Twitchy wasn't even QPR manager prior to the season... He should have had a bet.
Whoops, must've been wrong! My bad....... but then again, SURELY he didn't say that when Harry came in?!
Mike Oliver showing that unlike some of his Premier League colleagues (and tonight's pundits) he does understand handball. If it's deliberate then it's a penalty. If it's not then it's not. Simples.
Hartlepool are putting up a massive fight to stay in L1, they must be near the top of the form table now! Now that would be a great escape.
If they go on to win this. Currently 2-0. They will have won 5 and drawn 2 of their last 7 games! Previous to that they had only won 2 games all season. That's why you can't quite write QPR off yet. Too many points still to play for! Edit: Connolly scored for Pompey earlier incase anyone missed it. Currently 1-1
