I prefer Alpaca to Lama, especially on the left wing. |

Isn't a 'game model' some kind of bird found in the shadows in Soho? |

I think ,to be fair, that we all need to reflect a little in actually who is to blame.
Ladies and gentlemen, i give you Marti Cifuentes
You see, that surely, as a manager, he should choose the team, and tell Nourry who he wants for the team, and why. To not say 'sod off, i want the players i want so go out and get them for me'. To not do so shows to me that he hasnt stood on his 'principals' in this matter.
He should have told Nourry right away that the team and recruitment is his and his alone.
But this obviously didnt happen as someone 'cowtowed' to Nourry, and it seems like everyone in suits did.
I've wondered all season why we are playing someone elses team, why we let a fitness guy literally phone in his fitness instructions to the training ground?
I dont think anyone stands up to examination this season. Maybe they are just happy to get a regular wage, as principals seem to be missing. |

Currently worse than the Ainsworth season, pretty much across the board , statisticly.
Marti cannot do right with this team, and thats not his fault. However, it's a game of points, and what to they make????....... survival, thats what.
Ergo, come 5pm today, we will be in the crapper even more, and Marti etc will probably get the spanish archer.
This will lead to our physio getting a huge contract not to be 'in country', and more subbuteo rubbish from the team, and those 'just out of their teens' peeps who dont have a scooby!
Heart says 1-1, but bugger it........ 5-0 to the supa hoopsa! [Post edited 23 Nov 11:08]

Reply | QPR at Plymouth Match Thread!

As its my birthday on the 14th of Feb, can i start the match thread?
Sod it, i'll start it now, just for sh'ts and giggles.
QPR, back from last weeks drubbing with a new man in charge look to score a goal this fine month.
Look out for David Webb offered a contract out of retirement late last week to shore up the defence, while Ned Zelic returns in a shock move by Rangers, who are obviously hoping Ned will score a goal (in any goal) to raise the fans hopes.
Plymouth on the other hand havnt scored a goal in the last 2 weeks, so lump on for a home win, with someone you've never heard of scoring his first goal against the hoops, off his backside.
Having said this, Rangers have been unpredictable, and Jude The Cat has been seen at Sedgemoor Services trying to kick a ball in the coach park in hope that the Manager see's Jude's audacious moves and signs him up, then quickly dumps him to the reserves, them into the subs bench, then outside cleaning the coach as he tries to curry favour with whatever manager or 26 year old is around!
4-1 to Rangers (yes i predict a riot) lol |

Surprisingly, i only thought the same the other day.
Running us into obscurity, while saying, well, we 'are' trying etc.
Then the hammer falls, but 'rangers terrace' sounds a nice set of houses, while we get to move to glorious hillingdon, cos theres f'all space to build on in good ole londinium, of course, unless we 'dig down'. |

My first match was in 1965, and went to Rangers every home game until around 1979 when my parents moved to the cotswolds.
A great move for living standards and way of life but no Rangers, apart from the occassional match, closer to where i lived, or HQ when we could.
I've not been to HQ for 20+ years, and the last time i got to the match got dad out of the car only to have thevsilly sod burst his appendix on the White City estate as we got out the car...... that was a fun, high speed run back to Norfolk (as we had moved there (surely by mistake)) to the parents local hospital.
I've seen the great times, the Bowles's, the Adel's (admittedly away games for Adel), Marsh, that team of the 70's etc etc. It made me proud to be a Rangers fan through and through.
I've seen the dregs too..... Managers that whistled, managers that punched players, fights on the SAR, Players that were simply not a standard you'd see in non league (Zelic, Dou Dou), but then, i've seen the passion to...... Francis, Shittu, Cook, Ainsworth etc.
I've seen the relegations too, seen us drop down and down again, but ive been lucky enough to have games that although we'd lost, the rapture of the Man City game lives on in me.
Taking dad to his first and only visit to Everton, Sunderland, Norwich, Ipswich......
The passion, the fight, the love of a proper Rangers shirt, The team clicking, the fans cheering, AKUTR's (thanks Dave).
However, this season, after a long period of mallaise, interspersed by a few months of looking like we were going somewhere, i find that i'm close to the edge with Rangers.
The team doesnt seem to have any real fight or bite about themselves, players only wanting personal stats to boost their profile and 'worth' and not doing their true 'work' (if you can call it that), by kicking a round ball hither and yon around a patch of grass for 90 or so minutes for stupid money.
I am sorry guys and gals, my fight has almost gone for my team. I'm sad, and probably coming across as morbid, and in many ways remembering the good and truly great times is my only way forward.
Having seen this seasons 'offerings', i do not see a way out of the bottom 3, and with this team probably rock bottom and possibly (oh please god 'no') there all season too!
Perhaps a small LC stadium, with room to breath, and 1st division football, priced per match for the fans, isnt so bad after all?
I cannot see us keeping in the championship, or the owners continuing to pay money into a black hole forever. Maybe we have to go into receivership, sell LR, make LC stadium a reality, get rid of dead wood management and even more deadwood players (you know who you are) and cut our cloth accordingly.
I'm so glad (being selfish here) that i saw the best of my beloved R's, it will never happen again, the world has moved on and we got left behind. |

Trouble is mate, not only could we remain bottom up to christmas, its quite probable we might not get another point or 4 up to Boxing day.
Thats the worry, as i doubt there's any coming back from that at all! |

You could tell after the first 4-5 matches mate.
Sod the 'international break' excuse to fool us into believing 2 weeks of intense schooling, football, formations, training etc will make a difference.
I challenge anyone to prove to me that it has! |

I've asked this way back before we really knew we were crap, but looking at our 'style?' of football, our inability to score goals, attack, shoot on target, run with the ball, complete a successful pass, hold on to a match at 0-0, run without the ball, find space, etc etc etc..........
What are you looking forward to next season in league 1?
mine was new grounds to visit
