The game will be on TV though surely? I'll be tuned in, Eid Al-Fitr holidays here so off til Tuesday. Will try to shut it all out beforehand, off to the beach now and will fire up the BBQ then watch the inevitable surrender. Having watched Southampton have a right go at Arsenal last night, is it asking too much to expect the same spirit from the R's?
Knowing QPR, today’s game against title securing Burnley will go either of two ways: 1. A heartbreaking injury time defeat after a heroic 90 minutes performance in which we amazingly actually took the lead. As per Aguero/Man City scenario. 2. Conceding an early goal followed by an utter capitulation as Burnley gleefully run riot in a party atmosphere. Put your money on 6 or 7-0. I’m afraid I can only see scenario number two. Get the prayer mats out.
Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Would love to see Armstrong playing off Dykes’ flick ons. Tell them all to embrace the game as a free hit. Nobody expects them to get anything out of it (including me) so play with freedom and without nerves. A surprise start for Armstrong might just give Burnley’s defenders plenty to think about and an uncomfortable afternoon
Massive respect to our fans going to the match today. I hope they’re rewarded with more than a defeated team apologetically applauding them at the end of the game.
Problem is a good player is a good player. It does not depend on whether the team is winning at the time or the manager or however much he may be embarrassed at having to do the Haka. Laird went missing while Beale was still here and our disastrous run started. We ca all look good in a winning team. Trouble is when things don't go so well your own miserable efforts are thrown in to sharp focus. I'd make him clean the boots of the junior squad because I dare say if he was told to play in that team he would refuse.
Alas, Armstrong predictably only on the bench. How does Albert start ahead of Willock or Richards? Madness
No Johansen. Laird and Willock as subs. The rumours may be true that there is a fallout between them and GA.
So GA has made up with all those players ‘not even in the squad’ due to arguing with him. 5D’s this week!
