I'm still fed up! 17:14 - Nov 12 with 1797 views

I wouldn't read this if I were you, it is just the angry rambles of a fed up Rangers fan!

There is no way to sugar coat the fact that Queens Park Rangers' season has been an utter nightmare so far. A quick trall through various twitter feeds describes how many fans feel. 'just a bunch of over paid, not caring premier league rejects' one said while another adds that 'this team couldn't win a game together if everyone's Mum's depended on it' As for me I'd go further than these tweets and simply say that I am sick of having my weekends spoilt by this team.

For many, many QPR fans weekends at the football have not just been part of their weekly routine for the last two years whilst we have been in the premier league but for years and years. I love listening to QPR fans discuss precious players, managers and great away days. For me I rememeber away wins at Gillingham, Mansfield, Chesterfield, Cheltenham and even a loss on a trip to Wrexham higher than last seasons walk overs at West Brom, Chelsea, Sunderland, Bolton and Blackburn under Hughes.

Hughes has never been someone I'd liked but as soon as he became QPR manager he had my full support. I agreed to love him when he got the job but now I'm struggling, his interviews smack of an uncaring individual with only an eye for his latest extortionate pay check and I just don't think he cares. I loved (and will always love) Holloway and it was the same with Warnock until recently but I cannot stand Hughes and I don't think, looking back that I ever could. I just loved him because he's the Rangers manager and I had to...you all know what I mean.Â

The excuses that he keeps giving are so pre-conceived, I really can imagine him sitting at home with a glass of wine in front of the fire the night before a game and planning what excuse he'll give next to justify the money he's spent and the money he's being paid. He's been proven a fool by all of them: meticulous planning really doesn't need arguing with and that's often before the team even reaches the field. I like many of you had given up hope of winning versus West Ham for example before the first whistle even blew. There's a lot of quality in the building has been many peoples favourite. We all agree Mark but there's not enough of it actually on the pitch! I don't know about you but I'd prefer to see Young, Hill, Derry, Ephraim, Mackie and Campbell every week despite their perceived lack of quality.Â

As an aside I was reading Robbie Savage's comments on final score before the Stoke game. (Not something I recommend by the way- I hate the bloke) "Mark Hughes needs more time to build on last seasons championship quality side" he said. Smacks of sticking up for your mate to me and the stats don't lie. Last years championship quality side was doing far better than this one. Pick team 1 or 2 from the options here...1) Kenny, Young, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Hill; Mackie, Barton, Faurlin, Traore; Wright-Phillips, Helguson. 2) Cesar; Bosingwa, Ferdinand, Nelson, Traore; Diakite; Hoilett, Granero, Faurlin, Taarabt; Cisse. Personally I'd pick the first one and not just because they actually beat Stoke but because they cared. I was gutted to see Helguson sold and his record of 8 goals in 16 premier league appearances for QPR meant that I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I'm not a lover of Hughes and I wish he'd been sacked after the Bolton away game last year but buts are his favourite excuses. What if Nelson had scored from Granero's free kick to make it 2-2 at the Etihad? What if Zamora had scored when he rounded Cech? What if Diakite wasn't sent off against West Ham? What if M'Bia wasn't sent off against Arsenal? What if Mackie had scored in that game? What if, what if, what if? We all use these as positives. The truth is that I believe if any of these things had happened this Rangers team would have found a way to lose anyway. They lose better than any team in the league. The table never lies. Currently we're the worst team in the premier league!

For me I decided after the dire draw at Norwich that we relegated, we were even worse that day than the 0-5 loss the week before and I remain convinced today. For me there are 3 steps to premier league survival.

1) Sack Hughes!
2) Only play the players that care and have heart. Â I truly believe we stayed up last year because of the performances of players with less ability but plenty of heart.
3) Stop buying players. I'd only make 2 changes to the squad in January and that'd be Campbell and Young in.

What would you think if this was the starting line up on Saturday?

Green; Dyer, Nelson, Hill, Onuoha; Derry, Faurlin; Wright-Phillips, Taarabt, Ephraim; Mackie.Â

Personally I'd cry and think we were throwing in the towel (shouting NOT SWP at the top of my voice)Â but one thing I'd be certain of is: for what that team lack in quality they'd make up for in effort and heart!

Well done you finished! I'm sorry that this was a bit like Rangers' season: Long and dull and an utterly pointless waste of time.

Add Park to that list and possibly Bosingwa.

I thought that last year when the starting line up was Kenny; Orr, Hall, Gabbidon, Connolly; Derry, Faurlin; Smith, Buszaky, Taarabt; Agyemang but that team actually won an away game

Gabbidon was absolutely fukkin useless.
You don't like Hughes, well i can't stand that serial liar Warnock.
That team that won at Goodison that day was lucky, something that has been missing for a long time here.

The football is supposed to be an escape from the boredom and monotony of Monday to Friday. At this point its another thing to be irritated and flat over, so yes, I know what you mean.

Maybe we should all just give up for the next 10 matches and form a Fight Club?
Beat some sense into ourselves between now and Xmas.

Lucky? Or showed a lot of heart, fight, wanted to play for each other and was fired up by a passionate Manager who could motivate players.

I was at that game and we were lucky.
Passsionate maybe, but still lucky.
Warnock had lost the dressing room roughly from this time last year so his motivational skills were out of the window by then.

you got a point mate and every right to be p@ssed off.

Anyone at MK Dons away could see Warnock was not able to lift that squad anymore, it was the right albeit sad decision for Warnock to go, he should be lauded for what he did achieve up to basically the Chelsea game last October.

2) Only play the players that care and have heart.

We'd be lucky to get out a starting XI, let alone 7 subs.

Any dressing room with Barton & Taarabt in it is a recipe for disaster.
