Is that the Niko who was in Kiev at the time, because his 2nd loan deal wasn't completed until deadline day?
Oh dear! |

Three of that 20 were goalkeepers. And I'd lay money that Faurlin, Taarabt & SWP weren't fit to play. Maybe others were carrying injuries? Maybe Harry's "12/13 players" wasn't as far from the truth as you think?! |

Speaking as a neutral on this matter, Tony comes across as a very nice bloke, who obviously cares about his club. But he seems more devoted to his airline business and not very finger-on-the-pulse, when it comes to QPR.
I can't think of another Premiership club where, on the day of a crucial game, news would break that a regular first teamer has a problem with his residency visa & therefore, isn't available for selection. That's administrative incompetence of the highest order. How was it allowed to happen?
Why were the team's pre-season fixtures so weak & unchallenging? Championship side Bournemouth played Real Madrid, two summers ago. How come the best that could be organised for QPR, a Premier League team, were RB Leipzig & Athlone Town? Who the hell organised that?
Why was there never a 'WOW' moment, when the club made a signing/loan? £34.5million on Fer, Mutch, Caulker, McCarthy & Sandro. All decent enough, but not exactly marquee signings, any of them. Leicester spent £17 million on just two players, Ulloa & Kramarić, whose goals have probably kept them up. Signings were often left until the last minute & you got the feeling that they weren't all the manager's first choices. I'd love to know the truth about how many times Mr Fernandes said: "No!" to Harry. Not saying that Harry was blameless in all this, but (with respect) he knows a damn sight more about how to build a football team than Tony does.
Some things about Queens Park Rangers are delightful. I love Loftus Road. I have a lot of time for the club's media team, who do a bloody good job. I like that the players are so accessible to the fans, through social media and/or in the way that they take time to pose for photos & sign autographs, before & after games. Last month, I was at The Hawthorns & lucky enough to see a magnificent 1-4 win. After the game, I watched on as Messrs Henry, Hoilett, Austin, Barton, Phillips & Zamora all took time to come over to the waiting fans and honour every single request for a picture/signature. Very classy! Very professional.
Now, if only that professionalism could manifest itself at EVERY level within the club, you might have a chance! |

The minute Ramsey took Zamora off, Austin was going to struggle with little or no support. And if he'd put one of his attacking players on, it could have turned out to be a masterstroke or alternatively, gifted the game to Wet Spam.
In hindsight, maybe he should have started with a 'maverick'; seen how things panned out & brought Zamora on, if it looked like it wasn't going to work?
But a point is better than no points. Hope MCFC do you a favour now & keep Villa in the mix. |

I saw Vargas leaving on crutches. I hope they were precautionary.
Someone I spoke to said that Yun left in an ambulance (don't know if true). Was he concussed? |

I'll be there, because it's only up the road from me. But don't worry, I'll be well out of everyone's way!
Actually, I have a good record - I've never seen you lose!
Birmingham (A) - win
Yeovil (H) - win
Millwall (H) - draw
Derby (Wembley) - win
Will the run last? 
By the way, it's been vile here today - windy & wet. Come prepared for the conditions!! |

Does Charlie even get on with Taarabt? There certainly doesn't seem to be much on-field understanding between them (whenever they're played together) and, when I think about all the photos, videos & vines posted by the club, I don't think I've ever seen a shot of the two of them talking, sharing a joke or doing training exercises together.
Has there ever been any bad blood between them? |

And we ('Spurs) should not be expecting a win just because it's QPR!
I'm anticipating a really tight game. You're fighting for your lives. We've got nothing more to play for, other than challenging for a Champions League slot, rather than be stuck with another Europa League marathon.
Will be interesting to see if Chris Ramsey's familiarity with Tottenham has any bearing on QPR's tactics today. Mind you, Mo-Po's 'Spurs are a different animal to the team that Timmy & Ramsey had.
Good luck - and may the best team win!  |

Well, firstly, this is a thread about Foolham & plagiarism - not really the place to be discussing Niko.
And secondly, I don't think for one minute that you or anyone else on here is remotely interested in my opinions on his hair and body shape.
Sooooo, let's leave it there, shall we? |

Haaaa! I'd just noticed that and wondered which comedian felt that starting a match thread could be classed as abuse! 
Feeling your pain today, Konk! A friend of mine is a Cherries fan who was there last night and couldn't believe how good they were, after their few weeks in the doldrums.
Hope I won't be feeling the pain tonight, if the R's manage to beat my lot!  |

Burton Albion??? And he wasn't very good!
Incidentally, when it was believed that there was a gypsy curse on Birmingham City, Barry Fry attempted to lift it, by peeing in each corner of the St Andrews pitch.
Perhaps someone needs to try that at Loftus Road? [Post edited 8 Feb 2015 13:25]

Have to say, the discussion on Five Live (it's also on TV, on the red button) is excellent. Joey has been quite interesting. They've just been talking about medicals. Much more insightful than the hype on SSN.
And they're now about to talk QPR!!
The show is coming from Manchester, but Joey looks like he's in a London studio, on his tod! |

Sorry to hear this, Loftboy. Horrible thing to happen. Many years ago, my mum & I were at the cemetery, putting flowers on my dad's grave. I'd parked literally yards from the grave, but was right up against a hedge - and made the mistake of not locking the car! "Well, who's going to rob a car in a cemetery??" I thought!
Whlie we were otherwise occupied, some b*stards, who must have been hiding in the hedge, opened the passenger door & scarpered with mum's handbag. Purse; house keys, the lot! Once we realised what had happened, we then had to race home, before the place was burgled. Locks had to be changed too. A right caper!
There really are some scumbags in this world! |

If you searched the names Barton, Ferdinand & Austin on Twitter yesterday afternoon/evening, you'd have stumbled upon enough comments from various randoms to know that something had gone on.
The Caulker stuff wasn't mentioned by anyone, though! [Post edited 8 Dec 2014 23:13]
