Mrs T: Who have you got on Saturday? Me: Fulham Mrs T: Home or away? Me: Home Mrs T: So you've got half a chance Me: They're better than us Mrs T: Everyone is better than you at the moment! Onwards and upwards, you Rssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!
Yep...my good lady wife has taken to sympathetic looks, and saying, 'it's okay darling, remember how happy you were in the Championship...that's not so bad is it.' grrrrrrrrrrrr...
We're the laughing stock of prem league even here in Bosnia. People can't believe I'm going home to watch QPR play.
on Saturdays mrs inked " were you playing today?" me "yes" mrs inked "how'd you do?" me "guess" mrs inked "you lost!" me "yes" mrs inked "I'm going upstairs to read" me "silence...." and that basically sums up my saturdays this season.
Mrs RTID "Well, a draw is better than nothing" or the alternate version, "At least you didn't lose" Me "Doh" Actually very supportive and kind so no complaints from me.
Ditto. Word for word. I think there's a 'wife of QPR fan', or 'husband of Beth' script going around.....
My wife says "maybe I should support another team", she knows that really bugs me, she's from a rugger family.
So I am off to see the Rs v Reading. Hubbie, who is SO not interested in support he does not know who Mo Farah is!!!!, is pottering around Hubbie says "Where u going?"....as though I have talked about nothing else for the last 24hrs... "to see the R's"..... "why" he says......(I suppose that is justifiable question) "Because we are playing Reading" "And your point" he adds "Cause we might win" "Don't get your hopes up, you won'tr win" As a final insult he adds "I'm not sure they ever win!" he adds before wandering away (That championship season was such a long time ago!)
In our house it goes like this, wife, "did you play today?", me, "I don't wanna talk about it". Conversation over.
My beautiful lady is Chelsea and into property. She understands the tribal aspects of the religion but like me generally hates the football culture. Only time she has come to the church is to see us lose against Watford 3-1. I therefore have little currency and tend not to mention it. She understands however that a man's passion is a collective of a lot of elements and in part this interest drives and shapes us. Yoga helps with clarity for us bothat times . I take and enjoy the energy each game serves up afterall that's the buzz... If we win it's beautiful if we lose then I wait and refresh. It's a game and not everyone can win all the time unless they have established a foundation of power and then standards and belief keep you there. QPR are on a journey and I think we forget that all too easily Growth
The wife has kindly offered to have my sons ticket for Saturday (its his girls birthday and he's on a promise) as the only game she has been to was Walsall this season and as its our only win she thinks she's a lucky omen, and i'm willing to try anything.
