    hope you're right. maybe the deal may have included staying away from Wells hence the reason why he moved to Yorkshire

    He'd be my No.1 target too, if Ronaldo stays at the Bernebeu.

    said this 2 weeks ago, got it from a not too reliable source, so didn't make too much of it.

    No smoke without fire hopefully

    Don't know, they looked like club officials standing at the bar didn't recognise anyone. the little tubby Malaysian looking guy was the one who told the other three, I was standing right behind him getting a beer with my mate.

    Apparently Paul Georges Ntep was hanging around, blagging drinks and spreading gossip too.

    Thats no way to speak about our leader!

    I really hope its true, sensible signing and at worse we should get our money back on him.

    News on a decent possible signing and all you can see is the negative...............
    "AT WORSE WE MIGHT GET OUR MONEY BACK ON HIM"
    C'mon now flyer we are winning ugly which is better than losing pretty, so we aint playing at our best, but can't you see anything positive ever or are you a glass half empty guy rather than most of us who see the glass as half full instead , Lighten up a bit m8 :1980_boogie_down:

    Don't think that was a particularly negative comment. He said sensible signing anyway, he approves. I think flyer gets far too much bad press on here and the flyer haters should back off and let him be. He has bemoaned a lot of our performances this season, with just cause too. In fact, when we play badly and lose or draw, the vast majority follow suit, but when flyer voices his reasonable concerns in victory, he gets strung up.

    When we got relegated, the general consensus was to build for the long term and that our patience was important. However, we haven't fully gone down that road. If promotion this season sees us in a similar situation with our recent flirtation with the prem, will we be happy? Will it have been a success?

    Give flyer a break, he's a good poster.

    Give it a rest. We've been badly burned in the past and Tony must be haemorrhaging money. Flyer agrees that paying £1.3m for Wells might have been worth a punt. Signing any youngster will always be a risk. However I think (and I believe Flyer does also) that spending small sums of money in a gamble on a youngster is a damn sight better than buying has-beens on extended contracts. For fans who have always taken pride in the attractive, attacking style of play of our best teams over the years, I'm afraid it sticks in the craw for me to see so many of you keep going on how happy you are that we keep scraping home in games and winning 1-0.

    Flyer's not a glass half full man. He has just stuck to his principles and is disappointed at the way we are playing as we could still win our games and yet play a lot, lot better. When they step out, I expect my team to care. When they can't be bothered to go out to win I'm afraid I 'm with Flyer. I'm not going to revel in the fact that we are playing badly and yet scraping wins and then proudly proclaim to the world that my glass is half full.

    You can say that again. I dont doubt his blood runs "blue & white", its just sport is there to be enjoyed and give you glimpses of joy, so Flyer's constant negativity just gets tedious.

    Now that it has been made known that 'Arry is looking at him, what are the chances we'll see him signing for Fulham, Hull ar some other underserving club. It does seem to happem tous rather a lot

    we have one of the oldest, if not the oldest squad of the 92 teams, we have a manager playing tedious football scraping 1 goal wins, drawing or losing while spending 20-30 times the amount of the opposition.
    I'm not going to be delighted with that. we need more austin, Simpson, Philips type signings and less SWP, zamora, AJ, henry type signings. I'll be happy when we step in that direction and start to play good football.

    Rhodes will be a big step in that direction. as would le fondre or a few faurlin like signings who are quality but unknown.

    the funny thing is my mate moans more than me (2hour journeys home after a loss were fun!) and he got a job at the club and is one of the top 10-15 people at the club. if he tells me something and I raise the concerns on here, I get told by the happy clappys to shut up and everything is fine as we got 3 points, little do they know....

    Like with this lot - anyone recall this experiment?

    QPR To Trial 3D Match Programme Septempter 25, 2012 By Tim Williams

    please log in to view this image


    "QPR have announced that for their match against Newcastle next week they’ll be unveiling a new 3D match programme. They’ve stated that this will allow them to enter ‘a new dimension’ of football coverage. Right. Apparently this has been done before in England but never by a Premier League team so this is big news, and as you can see from the picture above even QPR stars Shaun Wright Philips, Nedum Onouha and Ryan Nelsen are amazed/baffled by it. Millwall are the most notable club to have ‘pioneered’ this idea before which sort of gives you some idea how terrible an idea it actually is.

    I mean how is a 3D programme going to be useful in any way. It’s kind of like when they introduced 3D football on the TV – nobody bothers watching it in 3D because it’s useless. Like when they advertise it in pubs – ‘watch the big match in 3D’ – who the hell is gonna go down to the pub and sit there with 3D glasses on looking like a twat, especially when the fact that it’s in 3D doesn’t even do anything? It’s not like when Djibril Cisse hits the ball into row Z it comes flying out of the TV at you in 3D, nothing as cool as that ever happens. All that happens is the players look a bit closer and more realistic. And don’t even get me started on most of the movies that come out in 3D.

    But what can a football programme offer in 3D? The programme itself is going to be 84 pages long and 75% of that is going to be in 3D. There’s also a special Q & A section with Bobby Zamora. Wow, this is almost making me want to buy a ticket and head on down to the game – not only does QPR V West Ham have classic written all over it, but I’ll also get to pick up one of these awesome programmes. But seriously other than the Q & A with Bobby Zamora – which admittedly sounds tasty – what is the programme going to offer me that a regular programme won’t? Will the Q & A with Bobby Zamora even be in 3D? What else could possibly be in 3D that would be cool in a football programme? I’m seriously perplexed at the options I can’t even think of anything that could work in 3D in there, can you?

    If anyone’s going to the game and wants to pick us up a programme email us at [email protected], I would really be interested in seeing one. Or if you’ve got any clue as to what 75% of the programme is going to consist of let us know. In the meantime enjoy these pictures of Jamie Mackie and Park Ji Sung enjoying (?) the 3D programme:"
