    Hi guys, QPR fan in peace.

    I just have a query regarding your Prem Season in 06/07. Seeing as our tight-fisted owners won't buy any players, we have to do it on the cheap. Looking back over the last few years it seems you guys were the only side to go up and stay up whilst spending fu*k all.

    Question is: Was that the case or did you actually spend a fair few quid once you won promotion?

    Nope we brought hardly anyone. All we brought was a few guys from brentford. But we had a team and not 11 indivtuals. Thats how we finished 8th

    Good Luck In the prem hope you stay up :emoticon-0100-smile

    You have to give it a real go. That's what we did. Blackpool too, but they were short on quality. We had; Doyle, Kitson, Sonko (In his prime) Shorey, Lita Sidwell, Little and a great team ethic.

    Looking back then, you had a great little side. Its a pity the SSS (Second Season Syndrome) got yis the following year.

    We'll certainly give it a go but I fear we may come up short.

    What about the Royals? Are you aiming for the top two this year?

    It's going to be an even tougher league this year, but Mills & Long apart, we're keeping the same squad as last season. If we can find a very good striker to take Shane's place and help bring our youngsters on, we could be in the top 6 again.

    Hopefully Norwich will repeat Reading's feat!

    I reckon the sheepshagers will come back down but Norwich + QPR will stay up.

    Good Luck Guys!
