    First post. Be gentle. LOL.
    I've noticed than both on here and on the BBC website there is a lot of bad blood being shoved our way from fans of other clubs. To me it comes accross as just people being Jealous. Although we're in dire position in the table, we have the backing of people that are prepaired to try and sort it out rather than just walk away. If Deila was to give herself food poisoning, who would save Norwich? (Just one example, nothing against them.) Am i reading too much into this or do you all think there is some truth in there somewhere. Would love to hear what other R's fans think.
    P.S Chuffed to bits we got Samba. Think he will solidify our back line greatly. :)

    Best part is are the posts from Saints fans when they were the 5th highest spenders in Europe. Samba is quality and one of the best CBs in the league. Its not like we paid £10m for Bramble.

    You mean envy.Jealousy is what you have when something is yours.Envy is what you have when it is someone else's. Not envious of Samba though.Bassong is at least as good.

    Cruyff Turn, you suddenly become a QPR fan or can you not read. I was wanting the opintion of R's fans. Take the webs on your toes and go swimming. You input is not wanted along with your deformed feet.

    'Behave'. Its a shame your parents were first cousins because no normal person would come out with an idiotic quote like that.

    Who paid £10 mil for Bramble. That must include his solicitors bill for all the rape charges. Take them out and he's worth about the bus fare from Acton to the bush.

    If Bassong was 'at least as good' (implying that he may be better) then why wasn't he head hunted by wealthy Russians?!

    Ignore the Norwich lad. Jealous is an appropriate term; "Fearful or wary of being supplanted; apprehensive of losing affection or position"

    We like all clubs are exposed if we get relegated and the owners stop putting the cash in. Look at Birmingham they weren&#8217;t crazy spenders but are now struggling financially big time and selling off players like Butland cut price on the £6 million they previously turned down

    The numbers being spent look big but this is all relative. It's not big money to our owners. The media attention is on Fernandes as the front man but we have a number of wealthy owners not least Mr Mittal who owns 1/3 of the club. A look at his wealth of £12.7 billion in 2012&#8217;s rich list (He was number 1).

    The signing of Samba for £12.5m is just less than 0.1% of his personal fortune. This is the equivalent of someone with £10,000 in the bank spending £10!!
    So all this media fuss over are spending is because Mittal has spent to a relatively wealthy average person the equivalent of a tenner. Not so bad after all then

    Listening to talksport since only station dedicated to transfer news most of the time (even though adverst thoroughly annoying). They had a Stoke fan on this am ranting about why QPR should be allowed to buy all these players. Talk about bitter and envious!!

    Welcome to the board mate, it's the well run clubs I'm jealous of. We're transfer market mug punters.

    Also Mr Turn if your still here. If you gonna give me lessons in the english language, i should point out that the should be a space after a full stop. The space bar is the big one on the bottom of your keyboard or are you playing with the big one sticking out your forehead.

    Over the next 4 years, Chris Samba will cost Bottom of the League #QPR £12.5 million transfer fee + £100,000 per week = £36 million.

    Case of you've either got it or you ain't. When it comes to competing for the goodies, you're gonna use everything you've got ain'tcha?!

    Fact is our owners are easily premier league but Mark Hughes' players clearly aren't. Put those two realities together and you get a day like today. Hardly rocket science is it? - but certainly fair and just. Far as other clubs are concerned, chickens coming home to roost is all.

    Plain to all the depth of the hole Hughes dug for us. Even if we were to win every game (which we obviously won't) we'd only end up with 58 points which leaves very little room for error.

    For us it's a question of stick or twist. Prem's vital for more reasons than just the tv money, so we're twisting. Whether it pays off or not remains to be seen.

    Wouldn't worry what others think or say.
