that ladies and gents is everything in a nutshell. the incredible high of the remy goal to the devastating low of the Wigan goal. all in the space of a few minutes..
 
you have only won 4 games all season so how you will win all the 6 games left is the highest delusion of clutching at straws i have ever seen......good on you.....;)
 
Jog on you tool

I might be hugely disappointed that we aren't staying up but at least I won't have to visit that derelict wreck of a little town in SW Wales for a while

Prefer Cardiff as a city any day
 
After all the ifs ands buts and maybes we got a single measly point from our last three games against Villa, Fulham and Wigan and conceded 7 goals to boot. We can have no complaints really, we're nowhere near good enough, that's the tall and the short of it.
 
Getting back to the OP, that really does sum up our season in one game.

Bobby - bad judgement and bad luck. Split second to make the call while Dowd spends 5 minutes analysing it.
Mbia - from hero to zero in a matter of minutes.
Mackie - not a very canny Scot. Hold the damn thing in the corner.
Adel - why are you ducking? Take a lesson from Clint who took a cannonball in the face and shrugged it off!
Cesar - incredibly good or costing us the Villa game.
Samba - why weren't you at the right of the wall. Who decided that?

The list goes on.

So many games have featured flashes of brilliance but those have been negated by the error strewn performances along the way.

Sums up our season indeed. The trick now is to make sure it does not become the pattern for next season!

For what it's worth, Townsend MOTM by a country mile despite Remy's great goal.
 
Did anyone else think that today and against Fulham, Townsend should have been given 20 minutes or so playing down the left? He was superb today, and I can't help thinking that he might have produced some goal-scoring opportunities had he been able to cut the ball back with his favoured left-foot.

Do central defenders normally form part of the wall? Perhaps they do, but isn't more usual for them to be marking in the box?

Otherwise I agree with most of that.
 
That match sums up our club, not just this season, it was QPR in a nutshell. A bizarre combination of self-destruction, a flash of genius giving hope and ultimately shattering disappointment.

The disappointment will fade, the pain will ease, I wouldn't swap our ride for anyone else's.
 
Attackers are usually used for wall fodder whilst defenders are usually scattered around the box to sweep up the pieces.
 
For a neutral it was a shame that Wigan equalised but , as a Saints fan, I think this weekend has been pivotal in securing our survival. Although we won our previous games, all the teams below us seemed to win as well so that we were unable to ull away.

Listening to Redknapp this evening in the post-match interview, I think I cannot ever recall hearing him sound quite so dejected. When he took Saints down there seemed to be constant swiping at the squad he inhterited. The QPR team has largely been re-built by Redknapp and perhaps this accounts for him sounding so down in the dumps. I did think that QPR could have pulled off the impossible given the quality of the players but it will be difficult for you to avoid the drop now - even though the calibre of Ranger's team would probably have done really well starting from scratch next season.

I was a bit sad to see Reading go down as they were easily the best team in the Championship last season and deserved promotion. With Adkins in charge i think they will have a good stab at promotion next season but they were easily the worst team in the PL in 2012/13 by a country mile. It is a shame that Wigan and Stoke haven't taken up theother two spots - especially the latter as they are dreadful to watch. As someone stated on this board last week, QPr were scuppered by Mark Hughes and Redknapp had a very difficult task. It will be a shame to see QPR relegated as at least you try to play football and you are very similar in status to Saints.
 
there was me, bonmahon hoop and my mate Adam ( another born and bred hoop ) all in my local. when remy scored that screamer we jumped up and hugged like girls at a one direction concert. even the locals were cheering and laughing at us.
but when Maloney scored that free-kick we could have cried.
such is the trials and tribulations of being a QPR fan.
nothing has ever come easy to us.
we've already made a list of who's going next season and the truth is there won't be many of today's players left so yet again we'll have to start from scratch.

Thank you very much.

You don't need to worry, if Southampton can produce performances half as good as the one at Reading they'll be fine
 
Reminds me of when southampton got relegated, we dominated games but still got beat or lost points
In the last few minutes........
At least you have a wealthy owner who will rebuild and go again.
Best of luck for the rest of the season.
