Comment | QPR hit for six as relegation is confirmed - report
at 07:23:35
Well said, Clive. You, more than anyone, will be happy to see the back of this wretched season.
So, it's official. Rangers are the laughing stock of the football world. 'Doing a QPR' will henceforth be the phrase for everything from the panic bulk buying of players through financial mismanagement to forgetting to renew a bloke's visa. Among many, many depressing facts about this club is one highlighted recently by Sir Les in an interview with a national newspaper: Richard Langley is the last player from the junior ranks to play regularly in the first team. Richard Langley! I met him last year and told him he looked fit enough to get into the present side. Like the Labour Party, we now have a lot of soul-searching to do, hopefully with a new leader. It's going to be a long and anxious summer. |

Comment | Battle of the damned in the war of the hoops — full match preview

Harry Redknapp speaks in a Sunday newspaper interview about the damage done by rifts and rivalries in the camp. 'It is hard to know who speaks to whom, I just take them out on the training ground.' No wonder Rangers have become a laughing stock. What a damning indictment of a foolhardy policy of panic buying and inflated wages. Please God every player starting for Rs in the Championship next season will have spirit, passion and, most of all, pride in the hooped shirt. |

Comment | Stoke defeat begins QPR’s long goodbye — full match report
at 17:46:38
For those of us old enough to remember, the 1968/9 season was similar
to the one that’s just grinding to a halt. Four wins (from 42 games then!),
managers coming and going and a club in turmoil. The rebuilding – under
Jago, then Sexton – was steady, but slow; Rangers didn’t get back to the
old 1st Division until 1973. Can there be any useful parallels with what
happened so long ago? Possibly. The exciting team that narrowly missed
out on the title in 75/76 was a mixture of shrewd lower league buys (Parkes,
Bowles, Masson), experienced pros with something left in the tank (Webb, McLintock, Hollins) and a sprinkling of home-grown talent (Clement, Leach,
Busby). Sounds like a good combination to me.
