Just over a couple of hours to go now and I simply can't control the butterflies in my stomach! All the talking and conspiracy theory debate is nearly behind us. I've had a bad omen happen this morning....my youngest was still in with a chance to finish league runners up which would mean a trip to Oxford Utd's ground to be presented with a medal. Unfortunately we have heard that the last game didn't go our way and the result has left us third, one point behind the team finishing 2nd!! He's pretty gutted and I'm now praying that he will be cheered up no-end at 5pm today!! All the talking will soon finish....all the questions like: Will Stoke try? Will Bolton bottle it? Will Crouchie score to keep us up? Who is/isn't fit? What team will MH pick? Will he pick Cisse? Will he play two up front and go for it? Will we park the bus? Will City bottle it? To be honest, I can't take any more of it and I just want it all over and done with. Feels just as bad as waiting for the points deduction verdict....please God let us be celebrating again like we did then!! Come on URRRSS!!!
Will the FA do their utmost to send us down by: - Awarding Bolton a penalty? - Sending off a Stoke player? - Disallowing a Stoke goal? Have a feeling the pr**ks will have a say in the outcome.
In Cyprus for 2 weeks Hols. Got up early this morning and went for a run. Did not realise how far i had gone as all i could think about was what team MH will play. Make no mistake about it, today is massive for him as well. He bloody better get it right. Got back to the villa and then got in the car and did a quick recce in a local village to find a pub where i can watch the match. Pre match routine is now complete. After last weekend i am delighted to say my wife is finally starting to understand me and has given me plenty of space today. She has already allegedly caught me speaking to myself several times today. Maybe i am NUTS. To all my fellow hoops, i am with you in spirit today. Go down and we will feel the pain in the coming hours, days and weeks, but we are QPR. We will survive todays results whatever they may bring. Today is what football is all about. Today is the pinnacle of the highs and lows we have felt for the last 15 years. Today is a day to be proud of our little club no matter what.
I've completed two days penance of extreme gardening trying to keep my mind off things, and am now sore all over trying to relax pre-game watching the F1 Spanish Grand Prix. Keeping my fingers crossed that we can put our season's difficulties behind us and stay up. Really relying on Stoke though to get the job done against Bolton.
Imagine a last day of teh season where we had nothing to worry about..... borrring WE ARE QPR .. ITS NEVER DONE THE EASY WAY
Last bit of floor to paint now - right in front of the tv. Should be dry by exactly 3pm. Strange how these things work out intit! ****ing do it Rangers.
Just had 2 days at work (13.5 hour shifts each day), gardening this morning, grand prix now and no matter how busy I've kept myself only the game has been on my mind. God I'm so nervous
"The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory." Put very succinctly by our old chum Cicero. The tension in both changing rooms must be getting unbearable, come on let's get on with it.
