    Is it just me or do international weekends piss you off? Just as we're hitting the nitty-gritty part of the season it all stops for San Marino and Montenegro. It's not even a proper weekend with all the games on Friday.

    We've had a chance to regroup after the disappointment at Villa but I just want our next game now not next week and there's always the worry that a key player could be crocked as well...

    Precisely ............. With every week being a Grand Final for us, it really frustrates me with all these broken weekends without our team playing.

    It's made all the worse when we lose the game before the break (as at Villa) as we have all this time to dwell on it.

    For me, post-Christmas there shouldn't be any, it's absolutely criminal when managers are trying to work with players on tactics etc at a crucial stage of the season.

    Got to mate. They are, without doubt, one of the teams that we need to go down if we are to survive imo.

    Next 4 QPR games:

    Fulham (A)
    Wigan (H)
    Everton (A)
    Stoke (H)

    Next 4 Sunderland games:

    Man Utd (H)
    Chelsea (A)
    Newcastle (A)
    Everton (H)

    No reason why 8 points can't be clawed back, that's withstanding the fact that Sunderland also face a last day trip to WHL and a penultimate home game against an improving Southampton side.

    Yep....them and Reading are targets. It's that third team to go down that I'm struggling to pick out ahead of us!

    West Ham have a really tough run in. If they don't beat West Brom at home next week their bums will start squeaking.
    I think they have lost the intensity that they started with this season. Having only won one in their last four they are still vulnerable.

    With the complete lack of games lately, I've noticed there seems to be some anti-social comment between members. I wonder if that is relevant to us fans not having much to talk about regarding QPR and game time.
    By the way, I'm not trying to sound like the local church minister, far from it ............ I just wish the next game / win, would hurry up and we'd be all back feeling warm and fuzzy again......... or is it just the booze that does that?
