If our players that have under performed, understood how long we waited to return to the top league they might have a sense of responsibility. Having supported QPR for over 40 years, for me the return to the premiership has been one of false hope. I hoped we would become a solid mid-table premiership team and move on from there. However it looks like we will have had two really s***e years in the premiership and return to the championship, not knowing when we will ever return. I ask myself why can other teams get promoted and give their fans some fun. But for us, we haven't won an away game in the whole of 2012 and only won one game at home in nineteen this season. Lets not even talk about a cup run, seems a lifetime ago that we had that. It's an absolute disgrace. If we survive, which seems unlikely at present, or be relegated, my hope is we can get some young hungry passionate players who will do us proud.
Yeah, my sentiments too. It's not as if the Rs are even having to infamous "difficult second season" because the first season wasn't exactly what you'd call a fun ride. These past two seasons have been total **** and I'm sick and tired of fans of other clubs having a laugh at our expense, although they have every right to. It's the long wait for the inevitable that's pissing me off too. It adds to the general low ebb that I'm in.
For all that last season and this season have brought, I still feel we are in a stronger position than any other time supporting the Rs. I might feel differently come May, but then again I'll be back there for the first match in August be it the EPL or NPC.
But we are still in the Prem, and will be until at least May, much longer I hope. All is not lost, it ain't over until its over. Plus I've still got half a season's worth of games to watch that I have already paid to go to, and a 16 year old boy who's mood is vital to my mental health. It's impossible for me to give up now. Yesterday was, indeed, a low point but I've begun to pick up, convinced myself if I don't brave the roadworks again on Sunday we will definitely win 6-0 and I will miss it. And of course, we are QPR. Anybody who thought this was going to be anything but bizarre, ridiculous and rather embarrassing has not read the script. Which ends, naturally, with redemption.
If TF is a man of his word then he better hang around and get us back to the position we were in when he joined. We had so much potential but I can't think of another club that has sunk so fast. We never got going. MH is gone so he has to carry the can. He owes it to the fans.
When Warnock said (was it Warnock?) that he would build two teams at QPR, one to gain promotion and another to survive in the premiership, most of us took that in our stride and didn't realise what that would actually entail. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but human nature is consistent on these matters. If the people who have done the heavy lifting are cast aside after the achievement and workshy prima donnas take their place, who can be surprised when practically everyone goes missing when things are not going swimmingly. Beard and Fernandes need to study in depth how Norwich and Swansea have done things and apply their conclusions here.
I blame the thin hoops, we are crap when we went to the thin hoops and somehow managed to get even worse when we went even thinner. Bring back the thick hoops and its a promotion next season for sure!
