Understandably feeling better today than have for a long time, which may well colour what I am about to write. But were the summer signings really as bad as we've all been saying?
Nardi is definitely an upgrade on last season.
Saito is a lovely little player full of effort and guile
Varane has started to come into his own as a commanding midfielder
Morrison looks like a very decent centre half to me.
Dembele, injured hard to tell
Santos. Not very good.
Madsen - Mixed bag obvious talent but not great application
Celar is of course the tough one to call. Before last night useless, now???
Four or five positives out of that lot is not a bad total. Maybe our league position isn't just down to bad signings, maybe it does take time to gel.

Thread | Marti's trousers
at 16:28 18 Aug 2024
I've been worried about our esteemed managers trousers for quite some time. Last season it seemed at times he was wearing his wife's pants or something, too tight, too small, all wrong. Yesterday I was at first relieved to see they looked better, a standard chino. Then looking at the extended highlights, they had a drawstring waist. I love the man, but surely that it is not acceptable. Am I the only one concerned about this? |

My job means I cannot make 12.30 Saturday kick off. So despite having a season ticket for 30 years first game I can make is Luton away. Any idea when tickets go on sale? |

Thread | The JD effect
at 16:36 27 Apr 2024
When trying to analyse the reasons we turned this season around, it is important not to underestimate the Jimmy Dunne effect. Of course appointing MC was the true catalyst, and it must have been his choice to transform our struggling, sluggish, error prone centre half into a joyously rampaging full back. But the way that Jimmy responded to that was incredible and invaluable. His spirit, his drive, his fearless, skilful runs and of course That Goal, have been transformational. Even on the bad days he never gave in, and he seemed to raise the spirits of fans and fellow players alike. Just seeing the big man giving everything was to believe that we could and would be better, and he might be my personal player of the year. Love that man. |

Am I right in thinking that Adam Crozier, currently in the news for the post office scandal, insisted that we should have points deducted over the Alejandro Faurlin affair? [Post edited 12 Apr 15:25]

Thread | Wrong way round
at 15:42 7 Apr 2024
I was disturbed from the very off yesterday when Wednesday turned us around and made us kick the wrong way. Does anybody have the stats on how well or badly we do when we go the opposite way. It didn't feel right and we certainly did not play right. |

If you could have either one of those two back in the hoops at their absolute prime, which one would you opt for? Adel's wayward, stroppy, sulking genius or Ebere's smooth, floating grace and perfect attitude? |

Am I allowed to want Fulham to win tonight? Obviously I would rather both lost, lots of red cards, much misery, but Chelsea's plight is my only joy at this sad time for our club. My hatred of the boys in blue outstrips any vague annoyance at Fulham being above us. |

Is nobody going to start one? Does that mean this is one? If so I reckon another draw, another goal for Dykes, possibly a pen. Have I got the protocol correct I've never done this before? Should I mention it's Birmingham away? [Post edited 22 Sep 2023 13:49]

Last nights spontaneous attempt by the sprinklers to stop the torment was funny, but not as good as the squirrel which once led everybody a merry dance. Can you remember any of other unlikely disruptors in games at HQ? |

Thread | Soul
at 19:09 20 Aug 2023
Finney just tweeted about QPR yesterday having soul, and I know what he means and I know it matters to me. One of my favourite teams of recent years was the Cook, Gallen Bircham side which won promotion. It wasn't just the fact that they were all QPR supporters, that whole team seemed to encapsulate a certain spirit, eccentric, wayward but real, hearts on sleeves, our cave and all that. Is there just a possibility that Gareth can replicate that with the likes of Smyth, Armstrong, Field, Dunne, Chair and some of the youngsters coming through. We don't ask for much, but the bland, mercenaries who have worn the hoops in recent times have largely left me cold. Could the soul be coming back? |

Thread | Subs
at 20:00 5 Aug 2023
Still fuming even three pints in, back in civilisation. What was Ainsworth doing with those two substitutions in the 94th minute? It made us a look like a school team who just want to give everyone a run-out. It was embarrassing and also baffling. What was he trying to achieve? Was there any logic? |
