Following the fantastic performance by Sunderland today I wish to concede that we will be playing Championship football. I would like to apologise to any posters I may have upset with my over passionate support on this forum ... I was wildly wrong in my belief that we would escape it seems and my over ambitious predictions that we would finish high in the league. With 10 points now from safety I am resigned that even if we were to reach 39 points by winning all five matches that will not be enough now. I will enjoy at the end of the season debating why this team didn't perform as well as they should as we have at times played very well. Again sincere apologies and I am crest fallen and hope to attend one of our matches before the end when I will let my feelings know to the players. I also hope to apologise to some of the posters face to face ... We are QPR not those ****ing players Well done Sunderland its great to the joy
No beed to ppologise to me mate.. I told you Tarbs was ****e I said we'd do well to get 17th this year and I told you that you were dreaming.... DT..I love you belief, it kept me going inj troubled times.... fact are..we aint good enough as a team... We will return again as a proper team...and I have promised myself that I will be there or our next home game in the prem...Buy you a pint bruv?
Dave, you and me might not see eye to eye on a lot of things but let me tell you straight you have nothing to apologise for. There has been nothing wrong in your support for the team and the belief that we could get out of the mess we now have found ourselves in. Some might say you've been deluded for a while...Personally i've only seen a loyal supporter.
Why are you apologising exactly? You took up a position and remained true to it until it was appropriate to reconsider. Wasn't it Keynes that said,"when the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
Its such a relief to give up on them, its not as if they are fighting every game like their life depended on it. Most of the squad simply dont care. I know but theres nothing wrong with maintaining total belief, if only our players did that.
thought you would of waited until its mathematically impossible... Didn't see Sunderland get anything at Newcastle couldn't see it ... Maybe Newcastle's team doesn't understand English Derbies ? 10 points really hard and not enough games ... Worse thing is that me may start playing now and it won't be enough. Norwich are a dreadful side as are Wigan and I don't like Stoke's brand of football ... Still my mates could even be a premiership player if Brighton make it Now that is Trippy
DT..on our return to the prem..I give you my word that I will flky back to HQ and buy you a snowball...if you want a beer i'l do that too IF When we win the ashes & the lioons triumph this year; you owe me?
Is it capitulation when the point's been made and it's time to give up the ghost? In chess it's King down to save the agg. In war it's (was) handing over your sword to save further loss of life. Both considered gentlemanly actions. For us it's different. Unlike these examples, the farce that's been our Alamo these last couple of years has little or nothing to do with us fans, and everything to do with the tossers on the pitch who, frankly, couldn't be arsed to run a piss up in a brewery. They've had everything and given little or nothing. These are the premier league mercenaries we were dreading a couple of years back. How many of them could be considered Rs like us? No reflection on you whatsoever DT. You've stood your ground and kept the flag flying against all odds. Not your fault that these fat cats get paid come what may. Would've been a different story if the lion's share of their income was based on results. All together now: 'what a load of rubbish'!!
DT We haven’t always seen eye to eye but we do have our love for our club in common. No apology needed. I admire your optimism and energy. Believe it or not, I'm a naturally optimistic person but I’m also a realist. I felt we were down months ago. We have not shown enough team spirit or cohesion for my liking. Other teams in trouble have shown how their players have put their shoulder to the wheel in recent months. Our team, is a team of individuals and it shows in poor body language and a real lack of genuine effort and energy. I don't see them fighting on the pitch for each other. Just my thoughts of course.
Nothing wrong with loyalty and passion. Blinkered optimism may have cost us our PL place however. TF should have been asking the difficult questions back in August when it became clear that Hughes planned to play the season without a recognised strike force or a solid back line. His loyalty and optimism led to his money being squandered on an army of overpaid and over-the-hill midfielders. I feel confident he will have learnt his lesson however and will rebuild using both hard business logic as well as enthusiasm.
No apology needed Dave. You're optimism has certainly kept me going for a while. That Sunderland win summed up things for us imo. Toon looked God-awful!! (Bet they play well at our place!!). I have accepted things now and was even quite enjoying watching Di Canio celebrating. Whatever you think of him, there's a good few at Rangers who could do with his passion!! Meet us for a drink Dave....you'll be glad you did.
No problem Dave, you kept belief even after I had given up. well done. You will find it a relief It has been the hope that has been killing me for weeks...I have been watching Villa, Sunderland Norwich matches, simply to see them lose....now that ain't healthy. Roll on next Saturday, when the next era starts....and it will start with a win (you see...)
You hit the nail on the head mate. On paper, we have a mid-table or even a bit higher team. But that word "team" simply doesn't apply to our lot, too many of which are totally lacking in any fight or passion. I certainly will let a few of them know how I feel at the Arsenal game.
