    Hello,

    I thought I'd try and do a positive thread as we are all a little bit down after yesterdays performance. I can understand if this thread dies a quick death but here goes anyway.

    Lets somehow try to keep positive, we all know that supporting our beloved QPR can be very testing and very much like a episode of Eastenders with all it's twists and turns plot wise but we still love it.

    So our next trip is to the Riverside Stadium and on paper looks like a winnable game for us. In mine and many other peoples opinions a must win game.

    If we don't get a dodgy ref like at Wednesday and can keep 11 men on the pitch hopefully with out any more injury's then I hope and feel quietly confident we will at least draw.

    I and any person in there right mind now know it's the playoffs at best. I know it's not ideal and would be a nail biter I would enjoy seeing QPR having at least a day out at Wembley. Yes we need to get there 1st but if we do it would be memorable occasion which we don't often get.

    What ever happens we will still have a QPR next season to be p*ssed off with, ecstatic with, in love with etc.

    As much as it often lets me down I have been bitten for life and will always be coming back for more.

    We are QPR.

    Come On You RRRRRssss!!!!

    Just posted this on the TF thread but reckon it is better suited here instead...Apologies for anythat read this twice!!

    We should all be sticking together. I understand that the players performances on the park encourage support from the stands but maybe we should collectively be doing a bit more for the team. I know I'll probably get hung drawn and quartered but isn't the old adage that the supporters can be the twelth man (or woman...don't want to upset Beth).

    With all that goes on with our club, what I don't understand is how we managed to get so much in debt. It can't all be on transfer fees and salaries and I just wonder whether the old formula one owners took a bit more out then they put in. I know that Remy and Samba cost a packet between them but we will get money back for Loic in the summer.....and Samba's transfer fee doesn't get included in the last set of figures. Maybe HR did have too much sorting out after the Hughes period?

    Finally, just want to add that in all the years I supported QPR the following words...."We don't do things easy" for some reason comes to mind......

    I also wonder whether we were spoilt when we went up under NW. Adel wanted the platform to perform and he was given that opportunity to prove himself and he did...........maybe we were expecting things to be as they were then. Different team, different players, different manager - we will get there even if not the way we expected it to be<cheers>

    Yep,

    Just typical QPR bad luck and bad timing. New owners in at last min, messing about too much with a team who cared and got us promoted ect. You can also imagine the effect of the ownership uncertainty over that summer having on coaches and players.

    Oh well that's now another chapter in the QPR soap that we all keep coming back for!

    Not signing routledge(funding), replacing Gorkks with Ferdinand (sadly a warnock error), just made us weaker and started the rot.

    Losing this man also cost us:

    Hearing a real Dutch person say "Arsenal" really cheers me up.

    So .................. you want something positive about our beloved team, ok.

    1 - There are currently 20 teams below us in the Championship.
    2 - Every single one of them would love to be in our position.
    3 - Our team is the only football team to play out of Loftus Road.
    4 - There is only one other team in the Championship that has horizontal blue and white stripes on their shirt and they look crap compared to ours.
    5 - The Champions League, Europa, FA and League Cups are completely irrelevant to us so we can concentrate all our efforts on the Championship & winning promotion.
    6 - Only a QPR fan knows the true meaning of 'living with a dysfunctional family'and will continue to do so, for life.
    7 - On a bad day, a QPR fan will get screwed over by our teams' result and or the media, spat on & sworn at by other fans and left wondering why is life so tough.
    8 - On a good day, a QPR fan will only get screwed over by our teams' result and or the media, spat on & sworn at by other fans and left wondering why is life so tough.
    9 - What doesn't kill a QPR fan will only make him or her, stronger / and or prone to bouts of alcohol.
    10 - A baby of QPR parents will be gifted to support Queens Park Rangers as a fan, whether they wish to or not ................ and when they reach 18 years ( age of consent ),
    any previous thoughts of supporting another team has gone out the window because the new adult has witnessed too many years of grief watching his or her parents constant mood swings,
    in proportion to our teams rollercoaster ride and will be racked with guilt, to support any other.

    I'm sorry, but I just can't make excuses any longer for the way the club is being run.

    We are continually buying old, knackered players who don't give a **** and don't care whether we win or lose. We have a manager who doesn't care and Tony, bless him, even though his heart is in the right place seems dazzled by "names" rather than wanting to build a long-term transfer policy.

    BTW........it looked a penalty to me. Dunne was yet again done for pace and you nearly always see them given.

    Col we would of all liked a young bonded team we developed ourselves
    But this is 2014 and put money into any football team they will spend it
    We have had to buy from day one and have had to attract players with of course evil money
    You get any player or set of players that look good then they are snapped up very quickly
    Sterling at Liverpool for example
    Players will never on the whole be as passionate than any fan
    You can only make your argument look creditable because we aren't doing as well as you expected
    Flyer can be totally consistent with his views from day one ... Respect to him in a way but our club has already grown way above from the mess it was in ... Yes they are fumbling through and yes our manager maybe out of date

    The fact that we now have expectations as a club is down to growth

    Our fan base has been at a all time low this season but put that down to growing pains

    We need to stick together against the envy from the football world
    It will be a struggle but this current team already holds onto the ball better than any recent squad that is a fundamental principle of today's game

    Harold caused massive damage at QPR but we welcomed him all the same ... We owe it to the club to let him finish this job ... Then I am pretty sure he will disappear up his own arse

    My prediction of 10 points clear was never wild as two teams have already done that but it's not us as it maybe should of been ... It isn't so what do you do? Moan? you have a case but we are still there and better off than say Charlton or Millwall ... No hopes or expectations there just survival

    You take a punch what do you do ?
    Moan
    Give them three back and a good learning IMO

    It's geared all for Wembley

    Enjoy the hope

    So true....now what I believe is......

    From here on we will get stronger, and we will be going into the playoffs with the wind in our sails.
    We will be the form team...the other 3 teams will be saying, damn I wish we had our blip in January-March like QPR did

    We should have been buying players based on dick size according to recent research (from the University of Brighton, where else): http://www.independent.co.uk/news/s...ter--in-the-locker-room-at-least-9202855.html
