'Arry on 13:16 - Apr 20 by stevec | That is true, didn't liven up till near the end, Forest at home I think, very much a set of players doing the minimum required for play offs when they knew Leicester and Burnley were going out of sight. But under Redknapp, did you ever feel we were going to lose to Wigan? Likewise, 10 men against Derby I still had a belief that we could win. I can't say I ever felt that even in 76, waiting for the worst to happen, to turn up against Oxford as overwhelming favourites, still expecting the worst. Better team v Cardiff, waiting for one clanger to settle it. That roar in the 88th minute, when we'd barely got in the Derby half, winning a couple of throw ins near the half way line. Watch it. That wasn't a roar of desperation which it probably should have been. At Wembley, in a major final, it was a roar of belief, get one chance and we can win this. In 50 years of this, I am struggling to recall that kind of positive buzz in a Rangers crowd, in a major one off game. For me, that was down to having Redknapp. The lucky manager versus the unlucky manager, and the lucky one on our side for once. You can't measure that kind of stuff till it's gone. He had his faults, like most I thought he should have gone after that game, if only for his own standing. But the vitriol since, just find it distasteful in such circumstances. |
Down to Redknapp lol - the man's reaction to playing with 10 men from the 60th minute was "to play for penalties" | | | |

On a side note, if we do ever get to penalties in anything, Smithies is a pretty handy man to have on board. [Post edited 20 Apr 2017 16:12]

'Arry on 14:29 - Apr 20 by TacticalR | The reason I thought the interview with the Birmingham fan was interesting was that it was the viewpoint of someone at a club that hasn't been managed by Redknapp, so we can get an idea of what he believes Redknapp to be. It also shows that Redknapp knows how to push all the right buttons when he comes in to a club. |
It's the Redknapp cycle - when he came here I was pretty excited despite the forewarnings of a Portsmouth fan I know. Mostly the football was dull, he acted like a charlatan (picking a thrown together team to lose vs MK Dons, picking 2 keepers on the bench to force transfers through) threw players under the bus when it suited him, talked about the Ryder Cup in our press conferences, and we fluked our way up while he spent more on players than Dortmund did. Now others fall under his spell, cast by the media who love him cos he's good for a story (it's amazing how being leaky to the media in English football can protect you - Redknapp, Rooney, Terry - all good for a bite and a behind closed doors word, all shielded from critique by the press) and I'm there, a whispy ghost form of Redknapp Teams Past going "REPENT! REPENT!" | | | |

I liked the way Harry brought us all together as a group. I mean, sure, it was as a seething mass of incoherent hatred and snarling invective, but still, it took some doing. Kudos. | |

'Arry on 14:19 - Apr 20 by johncharles | A sneaky lying toe rag. Mean and vindictive. Kept Adel out of the team by lying about his weight and fitness. Up and left at the worst possible moment to maximise the damage to the club. Went out the door telling lies about his knees. At Hughes had ambition and was trying to build a team. Unfortunately he wasnt nearly as good as he thought he was. Tripped up by his own arrogance. Redknapp's only ambition was to line his own pockets. |
What you say is all true, but I still have to acknowledge that he was the architect of one of our, what, eight promotions? But as for leaving at the "worst possible moment", that couldn't keep the smile from my dial. Even the prospect of unavoidable relegation wasn't as bad as being taken for prize mugs by that c*nt. | |

If we've had 8 promotions we must have had a similar number of relegations (Or slightly less as we are now in a higher divison than the one we started in), and Harry was the architect of 2 of those.................... | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Well done, exactly one less relegation (they are quantum jump-type events). But why are you crediting Harry with two promotions? Even Fernandes knew he couldn't afford that! | |

'Arry on 07:31 - Apr 21 by PunteR | Harry Redknap is a big rich bullsh!tter..! The thought of him getting pelters at ours next season sounds perfect. Totally took our club for a ride. Some good humoured chants aimed at him is just what he deserves. I don't think it needs to get nasty, even though he fills me with rage just looking at him. " How's your knee ..? How's your Knee...? How's your knee you f@cking spiv? How's your knee you f@cking spiv." Or something. [Post edited 22 Apr 2017 0:04]

Minutes from the QPR Chant Committee meeting, The Snug, Dog & Handgun Public House. 1. 'How's Your Knee?' chant for the return of H Redknapp DFC, OBE. Submitted by PunteR. The committee examined it in the light of 'Harry, You're A Kunt, Harry Harry You're A Kunt' and it was felt that the two chants should both be included. Along with 'Fcuk Off And Die, Fcuk Off And Die You Bent Bar-Steward' (to the Allo Allo theme tune). 2. Several LFW posters felt that the 'We've Got Our Rangers Back' should be revised to 'Evil Les Is Turning Us Into Spurs Reserves' but the committee rejected this on the grounds that we haven't signed Garry Mabbutt as Assistant Coach yet.

3. The vice-chairperson to set up a sub-committee detailed with finding an acceptable rhyme for Krancjar. 4. Re the above, 'Fat No-Kneed Nando Numpty Niko' does not rhyme with Krancjar. | |
