The QPR curse by

Let's have a look.
We are the only team to get a billionaire investor and still be rubbish.
Whenever we get supposedly good players, they end up being ridiculously average.
Jamie Cureton is my favourite example.

When a young player gets poached by a bigger club it rarely ever works out for them. Sterling goes to Liverpool and ends up being the first foetus to play for England in the World Cup and is brilliant. I bet if he played for us still he'd be shit now. We'd find a way.
Faurlin. Genuinely nice guy and the only 'classy' midfielder we've had in a while who actually seems to care and be any good. Three ACLs in three years. F*ck.
Chelsea. Our biggest rivals. They get a billionaire investor. They then win everything including the Champions League. They then go on to have the worst ever go at defending the trophy and end up in the Europa League and still manage to f*cking win that as well. Will probably win the league this year too.
End up with the peoples' choice for England manager and get relegated. Admittedly he's got us back up by the skin of Bobby Zamora's teeth but even so.
End up with a terrible manager (Hughes) who then goes onto Stoke and makes them better.
Shaun Wright-Phillips. He's played for England so many times and is literally unable to play football when you put him in a QPR shirt.
