The Football.....

[Doseone]

I don't have an attitude problem nor am I a Leeds fan.I said that QPR are a piddly PL club and were in a successful QPR phase when you sacked your manager, I stand by that. BTW you know zippo about year on year decline compared to me.

My team - year by year to today.
Premier league
17th
Relegated
Championship
15th
19th
Relegated
League 1
11th
11th
Relegated
League 2
10th
11th
14th
18th
21st At the mo' but still time to hit the heady heights of 22nd.

That'll be Bradford then. That is some decline, I hope you stay up but not at Hereford's expense.

Your comments about QPR are ill informed, it's probably just a bit of Schadenfreude on your part, but you should get your facts right before you start slinging mud.

I certainly don't think Mark Hughes is a glory manager, he might think he is in his own eyes but he wasn't seen that way by a large section of QPR fans who were very fond of Warnock. I do have concerns about the link with Kia Joorabchian and the potential for conflict of interest, but it appears he was not the agent for any of Hughes' "glory" signings in January.

My team is easy;
1919 promoted to 1st division from 5th place,
1920 - present day, stayed in top flight of English football.

Arsenal that'll be......Shame about Alan Davies's recent comments

I dunno, he made a lot of sense.

 

[The Brewer]

Well he did try to buy an apology so maybe he did see sense

Well done to the QPR - a well earned 3-0 victory and we need a good result now on Saturday against the Baggies. Made up!

And Mark F, if you're Bradford then good luck to your team. Ever since the fire I've always had time for your lot. A proud tradition at your club and some decline like you mention but that's football.

I'm afraid there is a tendency to lump QPR in with the glamour boys, but it just isn't the case. Even when we were...ahem...'the richest club in the world' we had mostly loan signings under a board that would have taken us to the wall if Fernandes hadn't been there to take over. Only time will tell but our domination of the Championship last season was with a squad worth considerably less than other teams in the same division, and it was truly the only good piece of news in amidst a hideous decade or so.

And no, I didn't want Warnock to go either - a great bloke either way who deserves massive credit but he wasn't sacked in the middle of a successful phase because he wouldn't have been sacked if we had been? As for Hughes being a glory manager, I say again, nope.

Does this include Euro football or it just just English? In any case did anyone see the Dortmund v Bayern game tonight? What a finale!

 

[Monsieur Remings]

Is Ribery still doing the business for Bayern?

 

[Ashtrayhead]

I noticed that Bayern lost.
I have a soft spot for St Pauli in Germany (apart from their brown kit!) and keep an eye out for their results. There's a good couple of videos on youtube of their fans.

I've got one of their t-shirts but yes, it's pretty bad, bad like Credit-Agricole's cycling top bad.

"Promoted" from 5th place?
Bought your place you mean!!
Know your football history-as much as i admire Wengers approach to the game I dont like the fact that Barnsley were robbed of their righful place in the top division for a zillion years because Arsenal bribed their way that season-sad in two ways-they would have got there very soon after and Barnsley might have gone on to greater things-funny ol' game.

The relegation pressure must be starting to get to folk, I did not lump QPR in with the glamour boys ! It's not personal, I like QPR, I support Bradford, I gravitate to the undergdogs....................IMO you've got a glamour manager and made glamour signings, for QPR, I hope it works out for you but I don't think it will. Hopefully the club has budgeted for the worst?

The run it looks very hard indeed, I reckon 3 points at WBA are essential and they don't have a great home record. Good luck.

I know about Sir Henry Norris and his alleged actions, along with his plan to uncover match fixing between Liverpool & Man Utd on the last game of the previous season. Like you say though, it's a funny ol game, money ruled the game then too.

Probably have one of the best logos of any football club.

I am a HSV fan myself.
Go across to watch a game 2 or 3 times a year.

There is a real possibility of HSV meeting St Pauli in the relegation/Promotion game.

 

[Monsieur Remings]

I met a few members of their women's team at an alternative World Cup around ten years ago now.
