It is amazing how some fans are optimists and been saying since January we would get out of this. Some even saying we could still stay up before the game today. A case of their hearts ruling their heads.
Until it was mathematical then I think it is right to be optimistic. After all, everyone had Leicester down at Easter and look what they did. Pity we have such an inept squad that couldn't do likewise.
Way to go, kick other QPR fans when they are down because they didn't write us off as early as you did. Hope, dreams, even fantasies are part of being a fan, no matter what 'realism' tells you. If they weren't I would not have bothered dragging myself to LR this season, we were doomed on paper before we started. But there is always a chance until there isn't. No respect at all for the sentiment behind this OP.
****ing hell I've got a 'like' from Marine Boy. Must be something seriously wrong with post #5. Mind you, I've had half a bottle of Malbec.
Well said Stan...it may be unrealistic, but we can but hope...our frail human lives are built on that....and sometimes dreams come true I have had many of my dreams come true, I have many not....I do not know what makes one work and an other not. So I will continue with my realistic and unrealistic dreams. I will go along to LR next season, hoping for a new all conquering team. A team that bounces straight back, secures a top 6 finish in year 1, wins the Europa cup, and wins the league in year 2t....and in the following year wins the champions league beating Chelsea in the final So lay off NorthLondonQPR...these dreams are mine
Don't see how it is kicking anyone when their down. I was optimistic until the West Ham game and after that it seemed clear to me it was not going to happen. I still hoped and still wished we would stay up, but that is different from thinking we actually would. Sometimes you got to let your head rule over your heart or you don't see the true picture. Did anyone really believe we would win our last 3 games when we haven't done that all season? The fact is I have still being going to Loftus Road and giving my full support, but being their showed me we make to many basic mistakes and that is why I felt we looked doomed.
Nothing wrong with dreams I will probably be doing the same. My point is accepting the truth at some point, softens the hurt when it actually happens, and there is nothing wrong with that either.
Revisionism. Your OP implied you had written us off in January, not 2 weeks ago. Why criticise other fans at this time? It's not their fault we've gone tits up. Who cares whether we see the 'true picture' (careful I'll throw some phoilosophy at you on this)? It's ****ing football, deluding ourselves is part of the alleged 'fun'.
I admit i did not write it correctly. What I meant was some had been saying since January we would stay up and still believed it before today's game. I hoped it but no longer believed it since the West Ham game. Being deluded does not help me it just makes it worse when it happens.
Idiot post All rangers fans on here went to the end ... Good squad but the no team Close at times but clearly nowhere good enough We came up in a lucky way and went down because we deserved it massive clear out and we go again
That's fair enough. We all deal with disappointment in different ways, some of us embrace delusion, others don't. Nobody deserves to be criticised because they take a different path though. I have now got to the bottom of the bottle of Malbec and am feeling rather mellow.
What's done is done, I'm an optimist and luckily I have plenty left for next season, c'mon you r'ssss.
BZ goal in the playoff final was one of the best moments in my life which I shared with my son. Had we not been relegated I would never have enjoyed that moment. Most PL teams will never know what it feels to be relegated. They will also never know just how great it feels to be promoted.
