It's no coincidence that sir AF played JSP in Uniteds bigger games. His work rate is huge. He is not a flair player but a grafter. We all know he is not a CM but with MBia and Granero now onboard he does enough IMO to start ahead of both Mackie and SWP on the wing. Play Adel or Hoilett on the other wing and we look good. Any two of JSP/Mackie/SWP makes us too work man like.
1. I never said the deal wasn't a good one, but if you want to lie about what I said to try and cover yourself, then so be it. 2. I was trying to make the point that, from the first few posts, people seem to think that Nexon are worth billions (which it is not, despite you trying to prove me wrong by putting up figures that showed I was right!) and somehow would be putting big money into the club. I tried to put it into context by mentioning two companies that ARE worth billions (Marks and Spencer and Guinness). I DID NOT suggest that we should ditch Nexon for Marks and Spencer. If you can only make your point by misrepresenting what I wrote then fair enough, that's YOUR problem. 3. The line about the conspiracists and the Mittal shares is totally eroneous. What the hell it has to do wth this sponsorship deal defeats me. 4. Nexon are sponsoring us. QPR are not sponsoring Nexon. They will get their name on the QPR advertising boards. It is to their advantage. No Nexon products will have "sponsors of QPR" included in them. The billions of gamers won't even know and probably won't even care that there is a connection. They might see the name Nexon if they watch soccer on the TV, but then they are already watching the Rs on TV, so where is the gain in that. My reply was only trying to play down idea that the arrangement with Nexon is something incredible, fantastic, mega news, etc and is, in reality, just a glorified advertising deal FOR THEM. We get some money - which is good for us. I don't often get angry, but when I am totally misrepresented by someone in order to try and back up some ludicrous statements that they made then bring it on.
Firstly Eamon you need to take a chill pill. I will try and answer you points as best i can. 1. The deal is good for QPR and will push our profile up and if you don't believe that ask PB. 2. i actually said , which is also correct 3. I said which was a 'tongue in cheek' comment following on from the Amit thread. I never said they were taking over from the Mittals. Maybe you should read my post correctly and you won't put 2 and 2 together and get 5. 4. You said Complete rubbish. finally you said: That contradicts what you said in 4.? Many years ago someone told me that sky would never take off. I read once that the interent would not take off. I heard once that the iphone would flop. Some people don't like change and many companies have gone under because they wouldn't embrace it. If over a billion people buy these Fifa games (or other products) hear about QPR and if Nexon promote QPR worldwide as they have said then that will actually be worth a lot of money to QPR. If you cannot understand that then that's okay, each to his own.
This is just what all young footballers in this country must be wanting to hear, work hard apply yourself and then watch a sponsors darling take the pludits. Loving Park, hate picking a captin based on race inverted racism is also wrong, even when we cash in. Sad Day. Ability ability ability and nothing else, we are tarts for rent until we stop this sort of thing. Rant over.
Also without being pedantic, but they are worth more than £700m quoted. I think that's the figure for the year. http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/11/he...med-zynga-since-both-of-their-ipos-last-year/
Rhino, relax. The arm-band means diddly squat in this day and age. The only thing the Captain does is say heads or tails to the Ref at the start of each game. The real Captains are known throughout the squad. Park being the official Captain is a commercial move no doubt but its already paying dividends. Don't take it so seriously mate.
Christ it was only a quick fire post, the point was with all that's gone on this week I think it make us look a bit hipocritical. Question, does wanting the captains role to mean more than a wet dream for a sponsor so wrong? @Northolt - thanks mate I know you like watching your post own count go up but as before if I dont bleet like a sheep you winge. I gave up posting once before because, as a mod you posted some really pointless comments, good to see nothings changed.
To be honest Rhino, yes it is. The Club Captain ceased having any real meaning years ago. You're a traditionalist clinging to the distant past there me ole mucker. International Captaincy probably still has a bit of value but when you see the likes of Adel Taarabt throwing strops up at Hull with the arm-band on his shoulder, then you realize it has no meaning any more.
Don't know what you mean, anyway I'm just off out in my ford capri ghia for a evenings bathing valerie singleton in jiff and marathons. Least we've still got the Empire.
