I pay no attention to QPR. When reading your post I didn't know whether they were rolling down to oblivion, or rolling to the PL as I find they are by looking at the table and recent results.

Is their position down to an investment by the Benetton billionaire and/or his cronies? Apart from them taking over and sacking a manager here and there I haven't heard what's going on. What's the story?

The mittal investment in Qpr makes them potentialy a very wealthy club. If the wealth was purely for the spending ( 12 billion last count) Then they could become a big player in the prem. my own opinion is they want loftus road for something other than football long term.

Isn't it a tad ironic that a Chelsea fan attempts to belittle another club's ambition by accusing them of just spending their way to success??...

Chelsea are the ultimate example of a small club punching above its weight purely because they are a foreign investor's plaything.

Saha I'll give you but if you think Yakubu fits that bill you need to give your head a shake, a waste of money? his first season here, we played football that he thrives off, not long ball shite and he scored 21 goals. great return. It's not his fault our tactics are woeful and so negative that we hardly create chances. He's been our best striker when he's played this season around Stoke and Liverpool home he was superb and for some reason Moyes has decided not to give him a look in. It's all well and good wanting to bring another striker in but Moyes will only play one so if we do sign one he'll probably be warming the bench.

Fook right off, Bendtner? why, what would he offer us? he couldn't play the lone front man role with out style of football so it'd be a pointless signing. Why should Bendtner come in and walk straight into our team? I'd rather stick with what we've got.

The main problem with Everton at the moment is the centre midfield....Absolutely no drive or craft.....Arteta looks shot. I hope this doesn't sound like a knee jerk reaction, but I'd seriously consider cashing in on the guy unless he pulls his finger out pretty soon....Feillani is a holding midfielder and simply shouldn't be put anywhere else....Rodwell is a million miles from the finished article and is still prone to drifting in and out of games....and as for Russian Billy, well, if we aren't going to play somebody who we have paid almost 10 million for, then you may has well get rid.

I agree that Yakubu has not had a fair run of things, but it is obvious he does not fit into Moyes's team ethic of hard work....Just using yesterday's appearance as an example, he struggles to get involved and make an impact in the way that Moyes obviously desires.

I'm surprised that Moyes ever sold Andy Johnson, because that fella's headless chicken, runaround until you drop attitude ticked most of Moyes's boxes.

How did I do that, you ******* ********?

I simply asked what was the story behind their rise. I don't know whether they have bought their way to where they have now or whether the investors left the club and the club is being run as a community club.

Chelsea are the ultimate example of a small club punching above its weight purely because they are a foreign investor's plaything.

Small club? Don't be the ****wit that you were raised to be. Try and pretend you aren't that stupid.

Punching above our weight because of RA? Definitely. There's no Chelsea supporters who would say that we haven't received the success that we have because of RA.

I don't begrudge Citeh of whatever success they get, and I wouldn't begrudge QPR. I was just asking what the deal was with them. QPR hadn't been in my thoughts for a second since they were bought by the billionaire. I wouldn't have thought about them if Dead Man hadn't mentioned them. So jog on, tard.

Re: More Football Chat : Wed Dec 29, 2010 4:38 pm  

I thought United were unlucky and possibly hard done to last night, it was a clear handball in the box which led to the goal but as Fergie said, United should of killed the game off and shouldn't of been hanging onto a 1-0 lead. however, I'm not complaining, how many times have United scored in the 90th+ minute over the years? My predictions for tonight is that we will beat Wolves 2-0, Chelsea will face a stalemate with Bolton, 1-1, and Arsenal will beat Wigan, 2-1.

It goes to show how good a manager Neil Warnock is, doesn't it? QPR were not even considered to finish in the play offs before the season began. In the last five or so years QPR have had trouble finding a decent manager that will deliver you consistent results and some good style of play; Ian Dowie, Paulo Sousa etc, however under Warnock they have only lost twice this season in 23 games and have conceded the fewest goals. I'd like QPR to come up, a good squad, some decent players in Adel Taarbt (I know he's on loan from Spurs), Jamie Mackay, a decent, passionate manager and also good owners with money to spend. Out of the other two I'd like to see Cardiff and Leeds to come up.

Re: More Football Chat : Wed Dec 29, 2010 4:40 pm  

QPR have actually spent pretty conservatively considering the money theowners have got. They have not done a Man City and gone and bought all the best players they could find and then attempt to shape them into a team. They have built quite slowly, and are now the standout team in the division. They are solid all the way through, but also now have a few outstanding players. Taraabt (ex Tottenham) is a very tricky midfielder who scores a lot of goals, and is the outstanding player in the Championship so far IMO (including Bellamy and Bothroyd). They also have Kyle Walker on loan from Tottenham at RB, who looks a very handy player.
They should go up this season, and then I expect the money will really start to be thrown at it.

Re: More Football Chat : Wed Dec 29, 2010 4:41 pm  

They bought Taraabt for 1 million schnooks I think.

Ahh, I didn't know that. That's a great buy, when I've watched him play, he's been brilliant, a joy to watch. The stand out player for me this season. He scored 2 at the weekend against Swansea.
