BBC Final Score
BBC Final Score summariser, and former Tottenham striker, Garth Crooks on QPR's 4-0 deficit against MK Dons: "This is becoming embarrassing for QPR. Harry Redknapp's priorities lie with staying in the Premier League, but for owner Tony Fernandes, who has put in a lot of money, it is uncomfortable. You look at their side, with the likes of Green, Ben Haim, Park, and in anybody's money they have got to put up a performance. There is an embarrassing moment for these professionals."
Why is it that other PL teams generally have little trouble despatching opposition from the lower leagues, but the Rs seem to underperform time and time again, irrespective of the eleven we put out?
We want 5!!
Before today we knew that our best 11 were not Prem standard. Now we know that our second 11 are not even league 2 standard. We have wasted a shed load of money in the last 18 months.
