How do social media sites political leanings compare? Yesterday I did a poll on all the platforms I'm on (barring TikTok) the results when listed side by side are fascinating...
As they're self-selecting polls, this is less about the absolute vote and more about the relative… Show more
Do you consider your politics leftish, rightish or centre-ish?

More likely mentally ill. Problem is the mentally ill are being indulged instead of being treated. |

Agree with hubble.
Far less censors and censorship on Twitter now.
The threats to free speech and polarisation of opinions one of the most important issues of today, I believe. Definitely need social media to avoid MSM stranglehold on news and opinion.
Not a poster just a reader and maybe that’s why I don’t get the rubbish people are referring to. |

There's one thing in football that matters more than anything else. Scoring goals. It's been obvious from early on that Lyndon wasn't the answer.
We should have sold him two or three years ago when he had a good spell for Scotland. Which is where his main motivation seemed to lie at the time. |

Bet on relegation at 3/1 in late July.
Cashed out at evens in mid February.
After the Bristol City 0-1 away win the bookies odds flipped from odds on relegation to odds against and stayed that way, steadily lengthening.
I was pretty confident from then that we would avoid relegation barring bad injuries to key players. The momentum was in our favour.
The relegation drama generated on this message board seems to be mostly stirred up by lifelong pessimists who can only ever see the worst happening and the opposition turning into world beaters. Bless them.
How many seasons is it now that they have been telling us we're doomed? |

Think he is not only our best player but arguably the most consistent.
Of course how effective any player is depends a great deal on the opposition and Chair is often targeted by them as they know he is the main danger. |

By some way our best player. Don't understand anyone who wants him sold.
The harm would outweigh any benefit.
Best to judge an attacking player by what they can do rather than what they don't or can't. Often Chair carries this team in the same way Freeman and Cook used to. [Post edited 27 Apr 10:14]

OK. It's a shame but Willock will be no loss to us. Chair would be a major loss. |

No.
We wouldn’t get much for him and he is our best attacking player by miles.
Willock on the other hand should be sold. His temperament and commitment and value to the team is sadly lacking. Dykes should have been sold yonks ago when he was scoring goals for Scotland. |

Don’t think Hull are any better than us. They’ve only won one of their last 8 games, two defeats.
As usual the result between two similar ability teams will be more down to chance than anything else. |

Some teams you do well against. Some you don’t. It doesn’t have much to do with the league table. |

Truth is most posters were predicting relegation and I even had some at 3/1 myself.
But after the January window relegation looked unlikely and I cashed out.
It’s been interesting and tense but entertaining as far as I’m concerned. I don’t get any of the exaggerated panic you read on here. Maybe because 50 points + was never likely to be needed.
If your realistic about our ability and remember that anybody can beat anybody in this league why would you get frustrated? |

It’s not a miracle it’s just normal in the Championship. 46 points is usually enough and you have to be very weak indeed or commit suicide to be relegated in all but exceptional years. For us that was never likely to happen after Cifuentes got going and brought in the players he did in January. All this panic and drama is entertaining but unnecessary. We seem to be good against Hull and Preston and could beat both of them if only we take a chance or two. 16th anybody? |

Been a supporter for nearly 60 years. These days the Championship, all bar the top few and Rotherham, are all much of a muchness. I accept that most results are more down to random luck than anything else. That and whether the opposition suit your strengths and weaknesses or not. People here seem to think it’s QPR’s infuriating inconsistency. It isn’t. There are two teams out there.
So not frustrated and angry. It’s an entertainment which I enjoy, especially when we win.
So Plymouth tonight, it will be the red button. It is not a must win game. It is not a six pointer. Just another opportunity to prove we’ve improved a bit. Maybe another 0-0. |

The high totals of Ipswich, Leicester, Leeds and Southampton are reasons for a lower total being required for safety. [Post edited 6 Apr 4:52]

46 points is usually enough and probably will be this season.
Look back at the end of the season and you'll see we had already done enough. But keep the anxiety going as long as possible. It's what you do. |
