Comment | Leeds’ early-season optimism melts away again — Interview
at 10:44:46
Decent interview with BP - except the bit where he says:
"Just come to America, we have running water and don't slaughter our citizens."
I'd agree with the running water bit, but getting on for 40,000 gun-related deaths a year...???

I was surprised not to see you there Dorse - we all sang "Swazzy Birthday To You", it was great fun.
Just as well you're keeping your book token - JET was having difficulty with colouring in some of the other birthday books he'd been given, so goodness knows what he'd have made of one with words in... |

All sounds very fair and reasonable - but since when did fairness and reasonableness hold any sway in law?
So far, the board have done the 'right thing' and coughed up for their mistakes.
With this likely to drag on for another 2 or 3 years, a lot will happen during that time.
The board's property interests (linked with QPR and its community activities) may have come to fruition. So, by the time the FFP legal process is finally completed, the board may have no further use for QPR (if you take the view they are using the club as a lever to get influence in these building projects). And considering our parachute payments will have run out and that we are unlikely to be pushing for promotion, there can't realistically be much of a financial incentive to maintain their interest in the club.
So when QPR has outlived its usefulness, will the board simply cut their losses and ditch the club?
That is going to be a real test of TF's character and integrity...

Comment | The long road from Austin to Washington — Signing
at 11:44:48
To quote from the article...
"Initially – and this will become a running theme – he was a slow burner."
Is that why...
"He has *singed* a three and a half year deal at Loftus Road"?

Comment | Weston's Wembley Report: 40,000 Rams Aghast - But We Will Come Again!
at 20:02:59
Passionate summary, I can feel your pain.
A few unnecessary digs at players and frankly ignorance over the way the club is run. While you may have had a case assessing the mess we got ourselves in 18 months ago, but we’ve cleared out 20+ players this season and the owner has learned a painful and expensive lesson.
Can’t agree with your assessment of QPR fans though. Sure, stood in the midst of 40,0000 or your own fans, your lot will sound louder than another lot up to 200 metres away.
But I’m really not sure how, if you left the ground before the trophy was presented, you managed to walk through ‘...the hoards of QPR fans’, noting that, ‘...it was as if they themselves had lost the game. No smiles, no singing, nothing.’
A bit of poetic licence on your part, maybe to create the illusion that somehow Derby fans a ‘better’ than QPR fans. Or perhaps you were in a stunned kind of senseless haze...
Our end of the ground was packed for at nearly an hour after the trophy was presented, so there really can’t have been many outside the ground as you trudged your weary way home...
10,000+ of us started out from Loftus Road at 9.00am and walked to Wembley, chanting and singing all the way. We were every bit as loud as the Derby fans during the game, during the presentation, the on-pitch celebrations after, all the way back down the the tube and even in the underground carriages on the way home.
My voice is still croaking today.
You had a great game, and I really feel for your huy Keogh, that shouldn’t have to happen to anyone. I hope you keep hold of your talented youngsters, sign a couple of your loans and hang on to Maclaren (possibly the best signing you made) and best of luck next season.

Comment | Bill's Take: Can The Rams Give Rangers A Kick Up The R's?
at 17:33:59
You're right to highlight our chopping and changing team - key players have been missing through injury most of the season.
Jenas, Faurlin and Philips apart, all are back and firing on all cylinders.
Importantly, they're all playing as a team and for each other - something sorely lacking in recent years.
Onouha, Hoilett, the ever-improving Yun and a resurgent Zamora are all playing out of their skins and I think you'll find the side very different to the one which lost to Derby last time out.
The final is going to be a tough game... I think it's 50/50
