Adel starting for Milan v Atletico Madrid on 13:40 - Feb 20 by qprrunner
Adel Taarabt playing for Milan is currently giving me more joy and happiness than supporting Rangers at the moment. Couldn't give a flying duck if we're promoted at present with messrs Barton and Redknapp at the helm. Would happily compromise another season in the Championship for Adel winning the Champions League (unfortunately won't happen).
I know what you mean. It's joyless watching that bunch atm.

Fwiw, I've supported this club for nearly 40 years, and adel is in my top 5 favourite players that I've seen in that time (along with 3 other number tens) Les don't make that list, nor does Wilkins, Gerry Francis, Clive Allen. So I guess adel must have done something right. (Watch the haters now deliberately confuse the word favourite with best).
When I go to football I like to be entertained, something that hasn't happened at all this season. It was never dull or boring when adel played. Good luck to him at Milan, he might get a chance to shine now he isn't carrying a whole team in his back.

if you can find where i said that , show me please .
And I I put "had" (as you say the operative word ) intentionally.
"He is only effective when he has the ball , he tracked back and marked so few times we can actually remember which matches they were.
His whole USP is about running the game .
Gary O Neill has a fraction of Adels talent , but If we played City in the cup O Neill would play at 100% for the whole game and do what the manager asked of him . I not sure you can say the same for Adel .
Of course he may win the game through a bit of genius .... there is the gamble"
If that isn't you endorsing O'Neil (and his ilk) over Adel then I don't know what is.

It's not the rule that special footballers are difficult characters, Eusbio, Pele, Garrincha, and many. many more have been settled,calm, brilliant, innovative , and creative Footballers. Much of peoples character will come from background and life circumstances. Equally Jimmy Greaves came to English Football as a player of genius but Alf Ramsey may have turned an already heavy drinker into an alcoholic. How Warnocks management of Taarabt differed from Hughes or Redknapps we will only know from their self-serving biographies? I'm just grateful I've seen AT in QPR colours. His performances match all of our own wayward legends. Marsh was a vindictive, nasty piece of work who sulked on the pitch, he carried weight, and would leave his foot in, but he could also light up a West London day or evening with skill and impudence unseen anywhere in England and possibly Europe. Loftus Road would just stand up,laugh and cheer. Adel Tarrabt has that skill in trumps, and I frankly think it's a sad state of affairs that this discussion should even be attempting to make comparisons or valued judgements of him. He needs professional, caring and sustained help and assistance. QPR and Harry Redknapp have failed in their duty and diligence in relation to the player, who is still only 24 years old, I hope somebody, maybe Seedorf, can harness the genius and give the Lad a stage on which he can perform. I will watch Adel Taarabt given any opportunity, there have been games this season that Harry Redknapps QPR haven't been worth a dime of my attention, sadly that could easily continue for another 16 games. Adel Taarabt stands for the future and hope, Harry Redknapp stands for a lack of professionalism, self-interest, glib media sound bites, a lack of coaching and professional insight, and jobs for the boys. I frankly have no problem with Adel saying he doesn't want to play for QPR, his life is too short, and he can't wait until he's thirty for the Club to get sorted out, it could easily take that long!
excellent post, except Garrincha was anything but settled and calm! He was the rest though ;)
Bare bones.

Yup.Total rubbish......
Yep. Worse than any other criticism; is not incorporating Taarabt into the team (regardless of protest, ie, because AT is still under contract), Harry's gravest fault?
We needed more players, but most, we didn't need to let Taarabt go.

These three sentences were in my post. I was trying to point out that a manager may(and usually do) trust a player who will carry out instructions to the letter against a far stronger team rather than a maverick ... I didnt say that was my personal opinion at all .

Ok, well last time Adel was at this level he tore the fabric of time he was so good. If 'Arry cannot see that and can't give the required effort to coach him then he shouldn't be a manager any more.
A two year old could work out that Adel is more likely to get you a win than O'Neil and others and also he is far better to watch (and I was at Hull away that time!).

You lot have now spent 6 pages of thread, bleating on about the merits of a player who:
a) Probably will never play for you ever again and b) Doesn't seem to give much of a sh*t about your club anyway.
Meanwhile, you have a squad of players who DO actually want to play for your club and get it (& themselves) back into top flight football but, for various reasons, are having a bad time of it, at the moment.
Am I missing something here? I thought 'supporters' were supposed to support the players they've got - not the ones who don't matter anymore?
I await the news that I have broken the LFW 'down arrow' record! Go for your lives!!!

The problem is that when you replace a Ferrari with a Morris Minor it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

I wish I could agree - most of them give the impression they's rather not be here. I reckon there's less than five who play each week who actually give a toss. Clint Hill is one who always tries his best, even Traore is trying hard now. Most of the loanees (perm any 5 out of 11 for each game) ponce about, trying to make themselves look good to the detriment of the team.
There is a massive rebuilding job required, if we do get into the Prem, I dread to think of the mercenaries who will be recruited. Most people hunger for the Warnock days when we had a team that played as a team, even Adel knew that.

So, go suck a boiled sweet, to help to take the bad taste away.
And then, support your team!
Or else, go watch AC Milan & join their forum with the user name 'Only Here For The Adel'?
Ive seen Inter at the San Siro this season, does that count? I have been to far too many QPR games this season. I will support them, but I will also criticise what I see as the indemic failures at the club.

"GIVE THE IMPRESSION THEY'D RATHER NOT BE HERE". You don't actually know what any of them are thinking. You assume they can't be arsed. And, frankly, who could blame them for not wanting to be there, when all they get is constant abuse & insults from their so-called fans? I'm sure hearing the words: "EKOTTO, you're sh*t" really inspire BAE to pick up his game and work harder.
"THE LOANEES PONCE ABOUT, TRYING TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD" Really? I've watched one of your loanees, in two consecutive games, hammering the ball into the advertising hoardings, such was his frustration that everything he was trying to do (for the good of the team) wasn't coming off.
The very meaning of the word 'support' is 'to get behind someone and aid their cause'. Wouldn't it be better to invest your energies in doing that, rather than crying over some sour & spilt milk in the form of Taarabt?

Niko, although I'm certain you could enlighten us for hours on the best ways to stalk someone, I'm not sure anyone should necessarily be taking your advice on being a fan of QPR
QPR - "shit but local"

Then you've missed all my eulogies about Austin, Taraabt, Derry, Hill, Mackie, Lazarus, Bedford, Francis, Clements, Langley, Marsh, Bowles, Thomas, Parkes, Gallen, Ainsworth, Clarke, Sir Alec....... need I go on?
It's very hard to stay positive about the performance and attitude of the current lot in comparison to those players and teams of the past.
When you watch the way Burnley, Leicester, and Reading approach the game you can see the difference in attitudes between them and us.
Most of it is down to team spirit, you can't get that on loan, you have to be here for the long haul.
Or maybe you are a "my team, right or wrong merchant". As Danny Blanchflower once said, "it's not about the winning, it's about the glory of how you play" - I'd rather be in his camp than yours.
