It's a broken record already, and I know that Celar has been unfeasibly bad, but whoever thought that Frey and Celar, plus a runaround Alfie Lloyd, were going to score us the goals to be competitive this season, has absolutely f*cked us! Right now, it wouldn't surprise me if they don't make 10 goals all season between the three of them!"
This when I start to think it's perhaps not such a far-flung conspiracy theory that the aim this season has been relegation all along, with a reboot/sell-up in League One.
I hold them ALL responsible (let's name them, in no particular order) : Nourry, Belk, Cifuentes, Ruben, Amit, Calm, Reilly, and Hoos. They all have positions in the club, and they're all failing the club. F*ck it - I'll throw Jude the Cat under the bus while I'm there just in case, and even though I generally prefer cats to people.
And who's to say it won't get (even) worse before it gets any better?
Others have apparently seen it differently, but for me Marti's been looking scarily resigned, disspirited and/or depressed in the last two or three post-match interviews, almost as if he's anticipating the axe falling or feels unable to change things with the resources he has/doesn't have. Of course, in a club where no knows , or is allowed to know, what's in the offing, this might well be the big bad news in the offing we don't know about either.
Hope my intuition is askew on this occasion, but it quite often isn't.
We get that twice-struck lightning vs Stoke this weekend, and things start to look up a little. Another ropey showing and home defeat, a knife or two will be glinting, and I'll fear for him.
Jesus Christ, the guy's dead - give him/his family/us a break! There'd have been blue murder on here if you'd come on with sh*t-stirring stories about Ray Jones' bad driving etc., so what's the difference? He was a politician, so could be a bit of a tw*t - and in other news, bears defaecate in the woods!
(He does seem to have been a bit of a buffoon, but I quite liked it when he gave that egg-throwing bloke (was it?) a slap a la Brian Clough.)
Sinton looks tired and fed-up and seems to have aged about 10 years in the last few months. Resembles a man who's been locked up in Wormwood Scrubs for a stretch. Guess we've QPRed him too.
Good, honest interview with Cook, who tells it as it is. Interesting, and also curious, he speaks so much of 'getting the fans back onside' and winning our 'respect', especially as the last thing, I think, has been the fans not supporting the team.
The Stoke game is strangely almost exactly a year to the day when Cifuentes got his first win in charge against the same opposition. Do I expect lightning to strike twice? More hope than expectation, I'm afraid, and not much of that either.
Makes sense re his level. Soulless, money-macerated, and doubtless corrupt. Obviously, Gerrard doesn't care too much about the company he keeps either.
At least he's tolerably far away from LR these days.
Madsen appears to be the Scandinavian proof of the theory. His imponderable capacity to be both present and absent at the same time on a football pitch surely requires some kind of quantum interpretation.
v Derby (H), 1-1, 76/77 (my first Rs game) v Watford (A), 1-2, 79/80 (sensational winner from Glenn Roeder, dribbled 50 yds, I think) v Fulham (A), 1-1, 1982/83 (scorcher from Lewington if memory serves) v Stoke (H), 6-0, 83/84 (I think Stewart scored the 5th or 6th from virtually the halfway line)
There's something about remembering untelevised games from years past that feels like recalling dreams.
Absolutely, but the longer this goes on, the more embarrassing it is (or should be) for the coach too - that's my point! Unless he's being forced to play him (bizarre/scary) or he genuinely feels we have no one better (unfathomable, also scary).
Terribly sorry for a mild note of querying dissent (and embedded point) that obviously scares one or two on here, who feel they have to behave like cult monitors (and as if Clive can't speak for himself if he chooses to).
I should think anyone who writes anything interesting on this board wants a 'reaction' of some kind, or what's the point?
I'd crawl back in my merely 'amateur' shell, but, oh yes, I'm a professional writer/editor myself (with, shock horror, opinions, questions and concerns). If you don't like that, or them, quite honestly I don't know why you don't find something else to do with your day.
Though anyone can write anything at any time, of course, I find it quite bewildering and troubling to be writing a piece about MC's exit, unless you do, at some level, want him out.
Perhaps you're already also writing a puff piece about Warburton coming in by the same token? But why stop there? As any manager will be sacked sooner or later, perhaps we could have a 'say hello, wave goodbye' Soft Cell-type greeting for all future incumbents, welcoming them to the club while speculating about the manner of their departure.
It's a strange time to be a QPR supporter, that's for sure, and it looks like just about everyone is losing the plot, or following their own agendas, one way or another.
Never a fan of his, despite *that* goal. Always seemed to play with a scowl and a moan, was frank about not liking football, sub-Dykes scoring record, and his 'fitness' was a professional joke. The fact that he was one of 'Arry's favourites told me all I needed to know.
