    Only consolation is most of us wrote this game off in advance. Any fightback will start next week. Well, straws have to be clutched at...

    Write down a better QPR squad there's a challenge for you. Good performance against a very good team we have enough. Wish you would look at the football Madrid you can't see it can you ... We are QPR where have we come from? now look at our squad again look at it five, ten, fifteen, twenty years ago and see if you can write down a better one. Cripple? I think you need to understand a lot more before you press send ... get on wiki see if you name a better squad?

    I can't but then again i won't need to look up the players

    I can see why you're called "Oddball" now!

    The 1992/93 season squad was far better than our current one IMO!

    Sinclair came the season afterwards. I prefered Brevett to Wilson, but both better than Traore - down to personal preference.

    OK i may have gone too far back by two year as i am quote as saying 18 years ago in my previous statement however I still stand as I said squad : i repeat we have the best squad ever in all time at QPR today.
    i have adjusted my opinion on your 11 how you could ever put Samba asa tie after three games sort of lets you down a bit

    Madrid call me a deluded soul you get some mild chops ... simple as

    With luck, if Samba's header cleared off the line, and Remy's shot had gone we could have got away with a 2-2 draw.

    DT - he might have only played 3 games, but he's only been 40% fit and has played quite well. You don't pay £12.5 mil for a crap defender.

    The only one I might change Stamford would be Andy Townsend for Ollie. Ollie was a good player, fast and gave his all. But Townsend is a nice little player too. My (QPR) MOTM in today's game. I'd put Townsend in ahead of Ollie to be honest.

    P.S. Why did 'Arry take off our best player today? It should have been Mackie. I love the lad but he was all over the shop today. Didn't know which way to turn. Reminded me of Mark Bircham.

    And the one in the mid 70s was the best of the lot.
    This squad is a mis-match of over-the-hill players and mercenaries.

    The thing that disappointed me about today was that this was a very poor United performance. Perhaps they knew they were not going to have to work too hard for the three points but, whatever the reason, they were certainly beatable today. Their performance was not unlike that produced at Carrow Road and we know what happened there.

    Unfortunately, but by no means unsurprisingly, our team cannot capitalise on such opportunity.

    Even if this was our best ever squad (which it isn't), two wins in 27 games tells you they are crap, pure and simple...
