Another piece of Harry psychology, use the story as 'The world against QPR' and get the team to show the story was shyte. There will doubtless be more rubbish spouted in the coming weeks but with a wily old dog like Harry in charge they might just be 'feeding his fire'...
Nae a bother Matty lad. For what its worth I'm certain now that my fears were indeed misplaced after hearing Harry last night. Now I know he's bit of a Del Boy and you can't take what he says as gospel but sometimes when you see someone talking and with their body language and emotion you can tell whether they're telling the truth or not. I believe Harry was telling the truth last night and that this was a sinister fairytale cooked up by someone with an agenda. I hope, whomever it is, gets their comeuppance.
Agree mate, but the fact is lots of us can imagine something like this made up stuff happening, and at almost any club. Premier League footballers (as opposed to their lower league and semi pro colleagues), have about the same public respect as politicians, lawyers, journalists and estate agents. I'm sure its unfair on the vast majority of them, but the image of spoilt, overpaid, ill disciplined egotists is hard to shake.
I have just seen Oliver Holt of The Mirror talking on Sky (in that bit where the journos sit round and talk bollocks). HIS body language, emotion and pausing indicated to me that he was having to think very carefully about what he said and was not convinced himself, rather taking the company line. He can't be seen to say anything different to "senior" Mirror colleague, Martin Lipton
I saw that too on Sunday Supplement. They were all pretty much talking as though the story was true. They never once quoted Harry as saying that it was "a complete fabrication"! They really closed ranks.
