How has our disastrous start to this season affected other areas of your life; your work, home life, and general joie de vivre, or have you managed to keep it separate?
Well my wife has been on the receiving end of some pretty rough bedroom action on a number of Saturdays over the past couple of months. She says she doesn't like it but every time we lose she says "oh good, I'll go get my shin-pads on"........
Been down most Saturdays and even on here we all seem to be getting at each other. Football (QPR) is a huge part of our lives and it will affect us if we lose/win. I remember after that Cardiff play-off final i was on a 'Downer' for days. And when we went up was happy all summer.
After we lost 5-0 to Swansea I vowed not to wash, shave, cut my hair or have sex with my wife until we next won a game. I now look like Chewbacca with massive nuts and I stink like sumo wrestler's jock strap.
Two years ago I was in a £2 million Thames-side penthouse, driving a Bugatti Veyron and lit cigars with a £50 note, now I'm in a cardboard box on the embankment, still, could be worse, I could be a Chelsea supporter....
Have done pretty well so far to keep my built up frustration under wraps. Going to be a miserable Christmas inside my head if we don't start winning soon.
work all the tossers are enjoying it with us not winning, the so called fans & hardly any of them go/spuds/utd/scum etc, home can be a bit depressing but don't take it out on the wife, all she hear's is we played well but them comes out with its goals that count, yeh thanks love & also bets with my colleague's have turned out exspensive.
Oh, it's not a plumbing advice thread then. Shame, because I have a dripping tap which is giving me much more angst than QPR. It's got ceramic washers and is set into as wall, which will have to be smashed open to fix it (allegedly). Also, whenever the bath drains water pours through a light socket downstairs. I have been advised that this may present some kind of risk, so no baths have been had for the last few months (we do have showers, never fear). As fixing this will require a floor/ceiling to be deconstructed, my wife has claimed that we might as well get a new bathroom at the same time. Apparently this will also require some new windows and demolishing a chimney breast. I have now just about recovered from seeing the quotes (still haven't identified exactly how much of the new fittings will be diamond encrusted though, my minimum expectation for these prices). I go to Loftus Road to cheer up and give me a break from this crap.
I was trying to be a good bloke, but I've been a well depressed, unhappy hooligan bastard to everybody. I've been a tota cnut ever since MH took over. I was right from the beginning. Now I'm a little bit better. We're still struggling, but with Arry I am happier.
I've been pulling a hair out of my nut sack for every dropped point. We better win soon as I'm approaching baldness!
Wonder if I could help there SB. I'm an electrician and have a good team of guys covering all trades. Where abouts are you? Perhaps I could quote?
Cheers Woody, I'm up in Leamington Spa, but to be honest the deal is already done and the trades will be in in the new year. Plus I'm sure any business done through this site is subject to a tithe for Maltese Mick.
I've stopped watching motd and the wife thinks I've gone off football completely. I've also gone through the whole being mocked by friends, family and work colleagues thing and now I'm well into sympathy vote territory.... I was given some original artwork from QPR when they made over the players entrance and its leaning against my office partition and the piece I have has images of......Traore, Barton, Luke Young & SWP.......I give it a kick each morning on the way in
I been feeling a lot better since Hughes left and Harry came in. OK I'm not dancing around the streets yet. But under Hughes no life seemed to be coming out of the Club, only dreary comments from management, dreary excuses for lost points, sub par performances, and inexplicable and almost laughable player and formation selections - it's not often I sit and agree with TV pundits, but they were really taking the p*ss out of Hughes team selection and formation for the West Ham game, even before the match had started, and I could only gasp in frustrated amazement with them. Now there seems life, spirit and optimism coming from Harry and the Players - I not been so happy with Harry's substitutions either but at least it seems we are giving it a real go now, most of the players (big exception is Granero) look like their form is imnproving, and though 2 points from 2 games against relagation material ain't good enough, we are unbeaten under Harry, and signs of a resurgence are there. URRRRRR's
