I'm the eternal optimist, the song Always look on the bright side of life could've been written about me, but over the last month hope of survival has slowly ebbed away only to re emerge every Saturday morning followed by more disappointment after each result. I never thought I'd say this but I almost want results to go against us so our fate is sealed then I can enjoy our remaining games and look forward to a (hopefully) successful season in the championship. Is it wrong of me to think this way?
Wigan was the defining moment for me, I've not felt that gutted after a game for a long time. I then accepted we were gone and been quite relaxed about it since then. My major worry is the decline may continue if Harry jumps ship...
If Harold jumps ship then it will be what it will be ... He will be replaced as he would have failed ... Slowly the QPR job will show itself as cursed because it shows no matter what amount if money you chuck at football no guarantees ... City and Chelsea have shown exactly how much it costs to buy success ... You keep spending and buying until it happens Now both clubs are Ferraris whereas we tried doing it as a Caterhams kit car Right or wrong we are the Kia of the footballing world at the moment But and a big but we are now on the grid we can only get better I played 5 a side football yesterday with Two Reading and Brentford lads on my team ... Afterwards They both seemed level about their football whereas we have become manic They summed it up as expectation beyond reality
I think 'Sooper' comments are on the money ............................... however, I trust Harry will stay with us and we will, make no mistake, have our day in the sun, again. After supporting QPR as a ten year old since 1971, I can say with confidence, we will come good again. Within the next six months, the fair weathered fans would have flown the coup but we regulars, will still be here. Whether we come good in within 12 months or more, we will still be here ................. and when we do click once again, only we will know what it is like to be a Queens Park Rangers fan. Players, coaches, management and even directors, may come and go but we fans are always for the club. We follow them through thick and thin, so when they do shine, nobody but nobody appreciates the moment like us.
Interesting choice of car. TF spent bucket loads because he wanted us to be a Jaguar and now we will indeed be a Lada or a Trabant because of the extra baggage weighing us down next season. That's the problem by being dazzled with must have flashy gadgets that nobody needs and Skoda drivers wouldn't dream of wasting their money on. We'l see what the resale values are.
No, it is a good thing to think. The human mind is such that for most of us certainty (even if adverse) is better than clutching at wisps of wind (straws far to solid for our position). I was gutted after Wigan but today felt light and easy throughout the whole match and afterwards too. I'm not sure what Harry was watching but his post match interview bore little resemblance to what I saw apart from the 'our shooting was off target today'. Masterly understatement! Please can we have no nonsense about winning the Championship next season. We will be rebuilding from grassroots and I expect us to be in the NPC for at least three seasons. As ever, irrespective of win or lose or what division we play in, 'Rangers Til I Die'!
Until this afternoon I totally disagreed with the OP but now I can certainly see his point..... Can't think of anything else to add 'cos I'm feeling so down.
Lada. Often derided but built solidly, went on for years and good on fuel. Me dad had one. Old school. QPR? Currently a SEAT. A pretender. A wannabe. Not competing despite the adverts and endorsements. And not selling, either. Give me a rock-solid Lada any day.
