    I've stopped listening to Redknapp's rambling. Forever bigging up the opposition rather than our own players.
    What a numpty.

    Classic strategy, giving opposition players inflated opinions of themselves, hoping it leads to under-performance for key players.

    Very crafty Harry !!

    Tell me that was tongue in cheek. Please.

    It's worked brilliantly this season in all of our away games. Redknapp's a genius. Perhaps he should tell his own team the secret of this strategy, clearly at the moment they think that they are playing Iron Man, Thor, Superman etc etc when not at LR.

    Trouble is most of his team will remember last season's shambolic FA Cup match, let's hope they use it as a gee-up...

    I hope that even Harry's "tactics" are affected by the law of averages!!!!

    Arry should speak up for Taarabt
    He should say he is the most professional player that he has ever worked with

    Agree with that. Getting the best out of him is more of a psychological task than a football task.I don't think Harry and his staff can do it. Hence the current situation.

    Its an impossible task mate. At least for any small Club that are unfortunate enough to take him on. If a big Club like Milan or someone took him then its possible he could return to his best and do well. For this reason I can't see COLIN trying to bring him to Palace. He knows the score more than most.

    You're more than likely right, but it has been done, and it may be possible to do it again. It's unlikely to be for Rangers now, but to hear our own manager say what he has in public about one of our players is a disgrace.

    But I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a Palace shirt in January. Unfortunately.

    Bigging up the opposition whilst slagging off his own players has proved to be a perfect losing formula for good old 'Arry. Why change?

    I respect your opinion Sussex mate but IMO the only disgrace here is Taarabt himself. He's not been one of our players in any real sense of the word for a couple of years now, even more so than Shaun W-Phillips (at least Phillips hasn't badmouthed the Club or feigned injury). I think the Manager has every right to say what he has. In fact, I think he's being more than fair with the diplomatic language he's using. I'm not sure if most other Manager's could dress it up in such soft language.

    I really don't know what this guy has to do for some fans to turn against him. The disrespect he's shown them has been immense and continuous yet they continue to take it. How could one very good season in the 2nd tier store up such a seemingly inexhaustible supply of goodwill? I just don't get it.

    But, to each his own! :)

    I don't know who he's been watching...

    I know what you mean. I don't have much sympathy for him, and I think he's finished at Loftus Road, but IMHO Harry is just as bad for his non existent man management skills. I don't agree that Harry has the right to say what he has. In private yes, but not in public as the Manager. He has undermined his own position.

    Wouldn't expect anything else from you...

    Given the choice of Barkley or Taarabt it would be Barkley every day of the week...

    Taarabt is terrible why? because Harold says so .. wake up what this idiot said was disgraceful I know that to be a fact

    Other than that we know nothing about the situation. This to me looks like infected QPR fans who once again turn on QPR players

    I know that Harold is a liar and a media whore who talks complete rubbish most of the time
    I believe Harold has been kicked by the club for his outburst and told to do his job at last
    I believe that Harold doesn't forgive and has to much pride
    I know that yet again he may of put his foot in his mouth publicly and guess what our fans lap it up and guess the rest

    I don't believe Barclay is any where near the player Taarabt is

    I believe that Taarabt will join a better club why shouldn't he? He was a success at AC Milan
    I hope he gets his chance to show exactly how good he is. He is an outstanding footballer and too good for any Harold Redknapp team ... Christ the man doesn't understand football on the pitch he has no idea on tactics and needs to retire asap. I cannot stand him when he does these sorts of things if he even said them

    Oddball, do you honestly believe Taarabt is genuinely injured?

    I seem to remember Barkley made his debut against us when we won 1-0 at Goodison three years ago and he was the best player on the pitch that day, he has a great future and is the type of dynamic player that can change a game in a moment.

    Adel could have been a game-changing player if he applied himself, he has the talent but just can't be arsed to add to that for the team, he plays for himself and players like that aren't tolerated unless they are Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez doing it week-in, week out. Adel just isn't at that level however good you or he thinks he is...

    The way Sir Les referred to Taarabt and what he said about him was enough for me. It's not just Harold.
