    Pardon my french....;) In the present time QPR does look like Don Quixote and sparky is obviously Sancho Panza and and yes the proper way to say is Tilting at windmills if you like to say it in a Quixote sort of way. In QPR's case the worst visible enemy are the players themselves and the mistake they make match after match.

    The expression is definitely “Tilting at Windmills” which is also the title of an excellent book by Andy Miller. The author is a non sports loving man who attempts to cultivate a love of sport which includes following Q.P.R. for a while. The author eventually ends up representing England at Crazy Golf! I would thoroughly recommend the book, especially for those who either support Q.P.R. (!) or enjoy a round of crazy golf. My family and I have played on many of the courses he mentions.

    I'm glad I posted first on this thread, which was doomed, yet I revived it as I spotted it sinking into the depths of no-response as it deserved to do. Here be a lesson to ya.....Whatever challenge you face in life, no matter how large or small, or as to whether you can think that you can affect it or not. It doesn't matter! Always believe, the soft option and that of losers is to give up. Never ever give up , no matter what. No matter what the circumstances are, no matter how foregone the conclusion. Always stay true to yourself, here endeth the life lesson. Enjoy the ride Igor the Tiger. Let this be a lesson to ya. 999 x

    Thank you 666...errm......999;) It was a lesson i really enjoyed. Mind you it have to continue like yesterday and because Wigan ,Blackburn and Bolton have all played well recently the battle will be really tough.
