All the money, all the advisers, all the scouts, agents, and of course, Hughes. So many new players massively overpaid and underperforming. We are a laughing stock. It is like a perfect storm of ****. How could there have been so much very poor judgement and missplaced millions? Surely no other club has ever had so many disappointing new arrivals in such a short time. To missquote, so few, paid so much, delivered so little.
 
I think all the high payed players need to go, upgrade the youth academy and prepare for the future.

Keep the likes of Green, Hoilett etc..

Need good tactics as we have been appalling.

I feel your frustration mate.
 
If ever they made a film "How not to run a Premier League club", we would be a perfect fit. You couldn't make it up any better...
 
I think too many are getting too wound up by our financial outlay. For a PL Club we didn't spend that much, many have pointed out on here that Swansea for instance, signed payers for double what we did last summer, but the media don't mention that because they done well, we haven't.

We are where we are because Hughes (mainly) didn't get the right players in, and then couldn't get them playing together well enough. When you see a team playing very well who have also spent huge sums, first thing lot of people say is they should be at the top of the League with all the money they spent, but it's just b*ll*x, it takes a lot, lot more. It's the reason why the Club who probably impress me most this season have been PSG, who have spent huge on some players with as big Ego you canfind in football, but has got them playing togethere as a very good unit.

I was thinking the same thing driving home today.

The reasons are many. We can only hope that lessons are learned and we move on.

I think I have a minor case of PTSD / shell shock. Keep getting flashbacks to that penalty miss against Norwich and the Wigan goal.

My flashbacks start from that sweltering day back in August and cover every moment in between. There will be many recrimination posts on here for the next few months, it's inevitable. I think it's all part of the coping mechanism. We have to try and seek sense and reason to personal and associative ( QPR ) tragedy. It's all part of the human condition.
We must cover every minutiae in order to move forward.

You have to be careful though, because it can eventually leave you bordering on mental illness.
An example of this would be ... You park your car in S.Bush and in a certain spot before each game. If we win you try to park it in the same spot ( or as close to to it as you can if the space is taken.) However if we lose, you try and find another space and so on, depending on the result of the game.

If you find yourself doing anything like this, or changing your clothes, meals or routine etc before a game then you have a problem and should seek help.

Btw, I'm currently having to park up in Richmond and getting the bus.
 
My mate does that, he thinks wearing the same gear or sitting in the same seat has something to do with it.

however, I do seem to have a gift of saying something and the exact opposite happening, see SWP at SB, the only explanation is that is was me. I think I said we cant lose the Oxford final and against Vauxhall motors but I was convinced we were not going up hence why we went up. I can think it but were doomed as soon as I say or type it. A mate calls me Damion as I do it so often but Ive realised it works the other way, if I say theres no way we will score, we will score. I also complained about Taarabts soft shots 10 seconds before he put that 5mph grass cutter into the corner.

I agree. Flyer you must become our prophet of doom!

Btw, was the grass cutter the v Spurs free-kick? The last time we scored from one.

I really can't see us scoring from one this season then.

Exactly the same with me Flyer. Always has been.

There's a part of me that's convinced we underachieved because I just wanted to watch the games easy without all the hassle of conning me brain into believing we'd lost before we'd even started! Basically I got lazy. Sorry guys. (Glad to know it wasn't just me that got us relegated though!)

No, the one against Fulham I think where he beat 2 men and rolled it in slowly with the outside of the boot.

Now you can see why Im usually negative, it means we do well, except for this season where I thought wed stay up, sorry it was all my fault.
 
There's a big part of me that feels responsible for, or perhaps in control of, the negative, with regard to QPR. As though my daily actions will govern where, on the table of rubbishnes, QPR end up. It's a burden my friends. It relates to work - is there a way I could do this better? Yes. Will it cost me time or/money? Yes. Will I do it? I ****ing have to. No choice. It relates to my fellow citizens - working in a front garden a couple of weeks ago, a late middle aged woman has to park 15 or so meters from her door and carry her shopping in. Because I've seen it, I have to help - no choice. It doesn't mean something good will happen, it just means something bad won't definitely happen. Unfortunately, I have no control over the positive.

From experience I can say Flyer speak with false tongue......he says many things and they happen....Flyer is in fact a truth sayer!

I quote earlier in the season..."anymore corners to the far post and Rat-face will score"....saying from match v Liverpool. Giggs will score v....Man United....."With body language like that, Cesar will be letting one in before the end.....Wigan last week.


I think I have got it now....Flyer knows exactly what the other team is doing, but has the counter/opposite effect on us.


From now Flyer you are only allowed to talk about the RRRS in a completely negative way
