    I am not sure when the clocks go forward next year

    There's still a lot to play for this season. With or without Champions League Football from top to bottom it will go down to the wire IMO. Gone are the days where you would literally know roughly where you are going to finish with 3 games left of the season and could start planning your holidays etc.

    For all clubs this is the most important window in some while and I get the feeling it will be our busiest. For Euorpa League I would refer to the Manchester Clubs. Swarbs and Father Jack will be of great assistance ;)

    DT your trip already sounds Homeric. My intelligence is ancient and I'm sure you know exactly where you are going - but I loved Oaxaca and San Christobal de las Casas down south. Enjoy, the positive vibes from Loftus Road will reach you.

    Don't flatter yourself HB.

    Our largest crowd this season was against Man City.

    P.S. Chelsea are in the same "town".

    Well we're aiming for 3rd and qualifying for the CL finals automatically first and foremost. I consider Spurs and Arsenal our biggest rivals for that spot, not sure either Liverpool or Newcastle are good enough tbh <ok>

    No argument there. In Tony Fernandes and Mittal 'man of steel' (essential ingredient of any stadium) we trust!

    Sunderland, Everton, Fulham and Villa will be safe. West Brom probably safe too.

    Anyone else is in the mix.

    I reckon the other promoted teams won't finish as high up as where they are now (us included unless we make some decent signings) but can't tell how far they'll drop.

    Bolton the only certs IMO. Blackburn would be fine except for their amazing disarray (Keen has about as many friends as that kid that pees himself in class ATM and it's killing them despite their quality up front).

    It would be good for the prem if a minnow like Qpr stayed in the Prem like Saints did on 15k crowds for years, admittedly at a noisier ground.

    Now saints get 20k plus crowds and have a great new stadium; something for Rangers to aspire too, even if saints did sell out their old ground every week, and started with a bigger fan base than qpr

    St Mary's is bigger than the Dell, but unless it's full, its soulless and spectators are a long way from the pitch.

    I'd rather have seen a game at the Dell anyday - and that's QPR's problem, as we move forward seemingly inevitably to a new and bigger ground, and lose the great atmosphere at Loftus Road

    I think new stadia are governed by strict regulations meaning the old sardine-can type grounds will be a thing of the past. What in most people's opinion is the best of the new stadia? Stoke? Something along their lines would be ok...

    Hope you had a good one yourself and Happy New Year.

    "Relegation rivals"? Anyone from Norwich down at the moment. For me it's always been about realistic expectations, spending power and experience. We are where I would expect us to be for a good few years yet, especially given the chaos of our not so distant past.

    Who do you see as your main rivals for a Europa League place? I like this question so much I might ask it of your board. (That's the "virtual" not606 board not the real-life actual one that apparently sanctions spending £75m on Torres and Luiz).



    Chelsea <laugh><laugh><laugh>
