On my QPR Soapbox...
at 09:50 11 Jan 2016

Many thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Cheese, Hmm I wish I could say Stinking Bishop but I would be lying. I'm not a huge cheese person but I am partial to blue cheese. The last I had was some wensleydale blue. Very nice.

Someone mentioned Vauxhall Motors? Now there was a quality teamif I ever saw one. Nothing to be ashamed of losing to them,... Ahem..*clears throat*

As for TF. I don't disagree he has mismanaged expectations and I'd agree he's not necessarily the chairman with the most savvy, but looking at our previous chairmen/owners over the last 30 yrs he's the best of a bad bunch. Remember Richard Thompson? Remember Chris Wright who loved rugby more than football? No need to talk of Paladini and his alleged boardroom mugging of Bill Powers at gunpoint. i think compared to some of our other characters at QPR, Fat Tony is alright.

On my QPR Soapbox...
at 04:43 11 Jan 2016

This is my first post on LFW, I am a frequent reader and there are some great opinions put forward by people but the increasing unpleasant negativity I see on the forums has compelled me to post something.

Now let me get on my soap box...

Could all the doom and gloom merchants call it a day and take a holiday from the forums and social media for a while unless there is something constructive to say. As a QPR fan for over 35 years, I now find myself thinking what a thoroughly unpleasant group of people we have supporting the club now. Demanding that someone loses their job after 8 games. Are you kidding me?

Let the manager and the players do their jobs. If I was the player or manager reading all this dross, it would probably affect my confidence and subsequently the team performance. Can you imagine someone telling you that you are rubbish week in week out? I wonder how many people would want to work in their jobs if the boss told them every week they were rubbish and a waste of space.

Also lets give Tony Fernandes a break. Whether you like his tweets or not he has coughed up the cash. For those of you who remember the days of administration before Flavio, you will truly remember a bad period when I as a fan thought QPR were truly up the proverbial faecal creek without a paddle. FFP is nowhere near as depressing as that was. So for the younguns'.. please.

I am probably one of the few who was disappointed Chris Ramsay wasn't given a better chance and was axed when he was. I felt he had some really exciting ideas in attacking football which i think should have been given some chance to mature. Rome wasn't built in one day.

Now we have JFH. He's still learning about his players and what they can and can't do. When I was younger it would be commonly be said that you need to give a manager at least one season with his own players to change a teams fortunes. I wouldn't expect anything to fruitful until next season. Where has this instant gratification come from?

On Seb Polter. I love watching him play. Yes, he's got the first touch of a rapist, Yes, my gran probably has more skills in her coffin but what he does great is run the defence ragged and pull them around as well as get the odd goal. He's an honest footballer and a team player, I want to see more of that. Why can't we just get behind all our players? He's scored 2 goals for us and he's still getting stick from some quarters.

Lets just get behind the team, no more unpleasant comments and talks of sacking please.
