I think we look a much better side with Colback in it. Andersen has been the biggest disappointment. All the new guys need to be given time. Varrane is improving game by game. I think (maybe it’s more hope) that there’s a really good player there. The others have been inconsistent. That is expected and is why we need patience. |

Yeah I think patience is key this season for us, the club and the players. Lot of new players and no Willock and Chair yet to feature. If you trust the manager and also like the type of player we sign, then you have to give them time. Varane has already looked much better. Look at Frey this season. |

Above all this season we all (fans, players) need to have patience. So many new players and quite a few (if not most) haven’t played any minutes in the England until now. |

And if that club approaches us and it’s clear they know the contract details, then that helps us make a decision on whether to sell or not. Ie. If he’s told the contract length to other clubs, then that player wants out. |

That’s terrible news. All the best Finney. 100% echo what Connell10 says. |

But if they do tell us this info, what can we do with it? Or do about it? It only means we can praise or criticise decisions more. 2 years sound too short? 5 years what are they playing at? The only reason I can think they withhold is that if/when a club approaches qpr, if that club knows the contract length (and therefore bids accordingly), qpr know that the players agent or the player have spoken to that club first. So that may help in deciding whether he’s a player we want to keep
Or not. |

Looking back at the accounts, we were losing £20m per year. Our wage bill was £27m with 190 staff. I think/hope/cautiously optimistic that it’s that number that has been the focus. We’ll get a bit more revenue and maybe get that wage bill down to around £20m. With all the player and staff departures and the types/ages of players signed, I’d be amazed if we haven’t gone some way to reducing that figure. |

But it’s not the same people making the decisions this time. Definitely reasons to be cautious over this and not sing praises too much but we can’t use the decisions when Warburton is here as reason to blame the current crop. If we sign this guy, I would still expect our wage bill to be down from last season. So, it’s down to how the transfer fees in and out are structured. |

Given the ages of the new recruits, we should be able to sell them on later. So it’s less risky than some of the previous transfers. |

Think changes happened after 1996, as we were terrible at that games. Takes quite a few years to get to results like we saw in 2012. |

Begovic - I think we’ve improved on him
Kakay, Lakesh, Hodge barely played in our strong form in second half of season
Dozzell - I think having no one is an improvement
Hayden - let’s watch this space to see if we sign him on loan towards end of window
That leaves forward positions which I agree need strengthening. |

Trampoline gold now. The commentary from the Brits is pis.s funny. They’ve got as much clue as me. “Shes crying tears of joy, I think”…….camera switches to the girl…who is distraught at being out of medals. |

Yeah that’s definitely true. Question is why is it like this nowadays? I think it’s more a society issue. Starts with the family, lack of respect for seniors, women, teachers, police. It’s a blame someone else culture nowadays. It’s always someone elses fault for actions done or not done. People need to take responsibility for their actions and their own lives and not rely on others to help. I put it also down to social media. What can government do? Well they won’t do it but I’d love to see it banned/restricted in some form for U18s. Stop and search powers without reason and lock up anyone carrying any sort of blade. Sod peoples feelings when people are getting killed. |

Unbelievable. Spending 4 years to prepare and make all the sacrifices and then you fight a man in a woman’s event. |

Half way through our lad is standing with a bust wheel in his hand as riders storm past him. Gets on his bike around 40 seconds behind (having been first) and chases down field including the home favourite in front of home crowd. 24 years old, won 4 years ago and competed in Tour de France but had to withdraw due to Covid. Double Olympic champion. Talent and guts. |

I think it’s more about a policeman reacting to his female Colleague / friend being punched repeatedly in the face and her nose broken. He overreacted and lost his professionalism. I don’t condone what he did but I admire the police men and women who show remarkable restraint in such situations and have phones and cameras shoved in their faces at every opportunity and then get told they’re all racist. |

I would never condone the actions of the male police officer in Manchester Airport, you’ve got to show restraint…..even though that can be difficult. Why would anyone want to join our police force? Women police officers punched in the face and there is calls of racism against the police. Lack of support for our police from powers that be, including the sitting MP, is shocking. |
