    th

    That's a fair comment, but a bit harsh on a new poster? Read my subsequent comments I believe I have mentioned that the regular comments on the top 4 clubs is fair etc.

    You are inferring plenty from my points about QPR though. Yes, it is interesting that they are in a relegation dogfight but the paper's comments about how the players QPR signed in January were AT TIMES ridiculous. Forgetting that these very expensive players are a huge risk for QPR. As well as them being overrated by the papers as well.

    Despite being a fairly long time 'lurker' on these boards I have no hard feelings with QPR, although many Norwich posters on here do because of the arrogant nature of you and other QPR posters. For someone who actually likes QPR and has a bit of sympathy for them, please don't ruin it by aiming stupidity at me.

    Carla, I understand your frustration at Wubba's comments, but I should point out that he is one of the "Good guys" from the QPR family! <ok>

    Maybe I should start to read some of Henry's articles, but I have a feeling it's not going to happen unless he starts to write for another newspaper. Chances of me buying it are lower that QPRs chance of winning the PL this season.

    Apologies Carla wasn't taking aim at you per se more the inference that somehow if a journo doesn't write about Norwich then his standards had slipped?

    I bear no ill will towards Norwich over and above the usual 'you cost us the title is '76 and we've never got over it' stuff.

    Keep posting, don't let my hard bitten bottom of the table World Class Talent cynicism put you off.

    I think that journalistic standards generally are really poor and it is all headlien grabbing puns and hero to zero stories, there is very little measured commentary. this comment relfects not just footy writers but news reporters generally. BBC Breakfast is one long weather show with no meat at all. Utter b*llocks.

    Henry Winter is a decent writer and sticks out on that basis.
