The Good - Staying up obviously - Tony Fernandes - we're in a good place with him. He rescued us from the goons and whilst some of his decisions have been questionable, we're in a much better place now than before. - We finally won an FA cup game - Beating Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea at LR - Taarabt - it took him a very long time, but for the last 2-3 months of the season he was arguably our best player and was back to using his tricks that we know he has - Samba Diakite - maybe the best buy we made all year. Getting him permanently has to be a priority for the board this summer - Clint Hill and Shaun Derry - many said they were past it but this year they have been consistent and fully deserved their places in the team. Whilst they may leave over the summer, they are club legends in my eyes for the roles they have played over the last 2 years - Heidar Helguson - most thought he was past yet he ends the year as top scorer despite being injured for nearly half the season - Jamie Mackie - a lot of people on this board wanted him gone or SWP to start in his place but he has proved time and time again why he is so vital to us. The goals against Liverpool and City will remain in my memory forever - Djibril Cisse - his goals have kept us up - Support - Home support was been great this year, especially over the last 5 games. The hostile atmosphere for away teams has no doubt contributed to our success there over the last couple of months. And away support has been great all year. Being able to only get to away games myself, its difficult to cheer in some circumstances (Blackburn away springs to mind) but we've always managed it and have often outsung the home support -'We'll race you back to london' - QPR fans to Man U at Old Trafford -City fans. I was at the game at the Etihad yesterday and they are without a doubt, the nicest fans in the premier league. All wished us well before the game and after the game, they all wanted to shake your hand and chat and looked forward to seeing us next year. Even inside the stadium once they'd won the title, they applauded the QPR fans and QPR players. The Bad -Boardroom struggles - to say we were ****ed before the beginning of the season is something of an understatement. There will never be another cock up like our build up to the season. The transfer budget for a newly promoted team was £0. We had no shirts to sell in the club shop. Tickets prices were raised with no discounts before offered for loyalty. The mittals left under auspicious circumstances. To say it was a dreadful start to the season, is something of an understatement. -Summer signings - Jay Bothroyd, Kieron Dyer, Danny Gabbidon, Bruno Perone - to say these guys are bad is something of an understatement -Selling off Gorkss - whilst we dont know how well he may have done in the prem, to sell off your best defender so that you can play Fitz Hall and Danny Gabbidon at CB is a stupid to say the least. -SWP - a player of league 1 class - Joey Barton - had some improved performances of late but showed its all about him again on the last day of the season - Djibril Cisse - cant help but feel if he hadnt got sent off twice in 6 games, this might have been a lot easier - Faurlin's injury - Faurlin was POTY up until that point. Losing him no doubt put us into our downward spiral. But it may have been a blessing in disguise as not many teams will take a risk on a player coming off his type of injury, so we may have him for another year Red cards - congrats, we now hold the record for most red cards in the season alongside sunderland - The Man Utd Stewards - with all the likeability of the Hitler Youth, most of them either failed the police or special forces exam due to psychiatric reasons. Never seen such an overreaction to people having the audacity to sing at Old Trafford - Mark Hughes first 10 games in charge - possibly the worst start by a manager at QPR The Ugly - Our away kits this season - whoever thought a colour scheme based upon Flabio's fake tan deserves to be shot - Opening day to the season - no kit, no sponsor, Fitz Hall and Danny Gabbidon at CB, losing 4-0 to relegation rivals - Joey Barton - a cancer on and off the pitch - Djibril Cisse - what the actual **** is up with his hair? Does he ask for it to be done like that? Or did he lose a bet in pre-season - Losing 6-1 to our neighbours - The first half performance at Blackburn - the only time this season I thought we were going down - Officiating - to say its been crap is an understatement. Bolton will complain about both of Stoke's goals yesterday but if Bob Pollock was competent, theyd have been relegated the weekend before - Both of our of FA cup performances against MK Dons - we looked like the League 1 team But most importantly we stayed up. Here's to a summer of speculation and hopefully next seasons year of midtable mediocrity COYR's
