Thread | Pubs to watch the super hoops in
at 13:29 30 Mar 2017
With 2 Friday night games coming up over the next 8 days, and work commitments meaning the majority of us won't be able to attend at least the Derby game tomorrow night, where will those of you who don't live in West London be watching these matches?
I have always lived in north London and as far back as I can remember, I've been routinely laughed at by the mere mention of QPR. School playgrounds, pubs, chicken shops (obviously), even a dentist's waiting room - you name the place in North London and I bet I've received at least a smirk from an Arsenal fan whilst being there.
As for tomorrow night, I'll probably be watching the game somewhere in central London so am not expecting anything more than the usual brand of sociopathic tw@erry from the obligatory Liverpool / Man Utd fan that I'll have to watch the game in close proximity to.
But, can anyone recommend any QPR friendly pubs outside of the blue and white hooped parts of west London? For the avoidance of doubt, I cannot recommend any.
Apologies if the theme of this thread is Spackman-esque. |

I was really impressed with Seb Polter yesterday.
The lone striker role is a thankless and unforgiving position but he's growing in stature on a game by game basis and I didn't think he put a foot wrong yesterday. Held up well, hassled well, made a prick of himself generally to no avail, and eventually got the goal his hard work deserved. Like with Taraabt, I think I'm gonna have a problem with fans that dislike him. And the guy gave his shirt to a young girl (looked like a girl; I'm so sorry if that was your son) sat a few rows in front of me at the end of the game. What a gent!
Much as I thought at the start of the season, the guy needs game time and support before he'll produce the goods, and he's now starting to produce. I like him. I like him a lot.
And because it's impossible to ever be 100% positive about this ridiculous club, why was the guy right in front of me singing (and thereafter continuing to sing) "we're fuqing shiiit" 3 minutes into yesterday's game at 0-0, and how the hell did we manage to not make any (or much) profit on Charlie Austin? For all of the few positives that I'm able to draw, the shambolic running of our club and the utterly preposterous sense of entitlement of some of our supporters remains our downfall.

Thread | According to The Times we've interviewed Chris Powell
at 08:21 24 Nov 2015
Suddenly it all makes sense. When TF said that "promotion means everything", he wasn't saying that keeping Fer and Sandro meant we are Premier League bound. Of course not; that would be fckuing stupid, even for him. I believe that he must've been contemplating Chris Powell's appointment and merely saying that "promotion [from League 1 next season] means everything".
And it's diffficult to argue with his logic.
I can almost hear it now - Chrissy Powell's blue and white army! Chrissy Powell's blue and white army! |

I really, really do not want to be writing this. Despite everything (and what some may describe as the mountain of ever growing evidence in front of me) Chris Ramsey had my full support until last night, and more precisely the 73rd minute of last night's game, when at 1 - 0 down to a bang average Brentford side, he used our final permitted substitution of the match to replace a defender with a defender.
At the time I was incandescent with rage. We were being overrun in midfield and had created the grand sum of zero chances in the second half. Why not bring on Faurlin? And why Perch? He has been rubbish since he joined. To add to my list of grievances, when viewed close up Perch genuinely reminds me of that awful 7 days qunt, Craig David. I do not need that in my life right now!
But whatever Chris Ramsey's reasons for the sub were, what concerns me the most is the sheer idiocy of his game management . I appreciate that many will say last night was entirely consistent with his game management since he took over at QPR, but I guess I invested too much into what the club was say about long term aims and him being a grade A coach; our performances at Sunderland and Villa away last season convinced me that he knew what he was doing. Lets not forget how we all congratulated ourselves over Ramsey's game management during the Villa game when he out thought Tactical Tim. Those solitary decent performances did enough to placate me throughout the nightmares of West Ham at home with Karl Henry playing on left wing, and indeed Man City and Leicstaaar away.
Going back to his substitution last night, the only way that I was able to rationalize it was by assuming that Ramsey had been fooled by the fact that Clint Hill was injured, and it just didn't occur to him that he could make a strategic substitution. He must have had some sort of a brain freeze leading him to think that his only option was to replace an injured defender with a fit defender. But that's Fking retarded! Seriously, not even my fiance would have made that sub, and she is capable of doing some really irritating things, I assure you.
So, to bring this rant to a close, I have to blame Ramsey for the inept and toothless manner in which we closed last night's match. Whilst I am extremely and overtly proud to have kept Brentford's lead down to just a single goal (in fairness, Perch did well to stop a late 1 on 1 - and Big Chief was downright useless and 100% guilty of laziness/ball watching for their goal) I am also really, really upset and annoyed. I don't want promotion but that just wasn't good enough. I thoroughly bought into the club's talk of long term plans with only mid-table consolidation on the menu for this season (who actually wants us to be in the Premier League? Was last season fun?). I just can't see what possible progress we can make with an idiot for a manager. And yes I get that there are issues at the club which no manager is going to resolve, hence Hughes and Redknapp also failed, but bringing on Perch for Hill at 1-0 down with 17 minutes left....
Any by the way, I also thought Harry Redknapp was massive twunt so please don't think I am writing this out of racism.
Finally, this is my first post so... I go for any sort of moldy blue cheese - maybe a Gorgonzola. But I'm on a very strict diet and need to lose 1.5 stone in order to fit and not look ridiculous in my groom's suit in 11 months time, so let's please leave the cheese alone for now. |
