Brilliant Clive. Everyone who can and hasn’t should go get involved on the Patreon. This part In particular had me <internet term> “LOL-ing†😂 so strongly the wife came upstairs to check I was alright... “All the old tired clichés came roaring back. Cool black boy with dreadlocks is lazy, cool black boy with dreadlocks doesn’t want it enough, cool black boy with dreadlocks won’t track back in defence. If I’d thrown the c#nt sitting behind me for a 3-0 defeat at Brentford down the stairs I’d have been the one in the wrong under law, but the murder would have been just and I wouldn’t have apologised as they strapped me to the chair. “I don’t really see what Eze does†indeed.†|

Loved that snowy Birmingham win. Red card galvanised the players and remember Tomassi looking pretty classy (the only game I really/properly remember him playing in). It snowed so much on the drive back down the M3 it felt like a one of the "hyperspace scenes" from Star Wars in the car. |

Good article Clive. One thing... Has there been noise from the club that want to move YSY on or has he just been too often injured (or both)? |
| News Comment | Unheeded warnings lead to heart-breaking late winner — report at 12:46:00
Not a great performance from either side I felt (though Saints played well within themselves aginst us again from what I've seen of them otherwise this year). 8 shots on target between the teams and felt like less. Poor game overall; I wouldn't give anyone on the pitch above a 7/10. Still if we'd had 1min less injury time added to the last 6 games, where would we be? |
| News Comment | A horribly familiar sinking feeling — report at 07:45:20
Good report Clive. "4 for Fer' is very generous; taking into account the fee thats one of the worst QPR debuts I've seen live. That the team didn't / don't look confident enough to hold the ball in possession for any period of time is worrying. |
| News Comment | Beware the pitfalls of a Redknapp coronation at 21:20:36
I'll support Harry if (when) he comes in. I think most fans would, after the conveyor belt of managers we've had would like a younger hungry manager to stay long term and be a big success. However would any of those being suggested (Poyet, Mackay, etc) want to come at the moment, or get anywhere close to being released by their clubs? My Spurs supporting friends all think it'd / it will be a great appointment bringing in Harry, I was initially against it, but after the true horror of the Saints game, on top of all the previous results - we need a relatively quick change now. I don't think we have the time now to run a set of rigorous applications and interviews processes, but I do agree with the coronation comments, lets see what kind of deal Redknapp gets if they do announce details. Overall though, I'd really like to get some enjoyment back, to start being excited and looking forward to the actual 90 mins of games part of the matchday a bit more again. Hopefully Harry can bring that in, and we can have a long term plan a bit like the one Warnock mentioned - whereby someone does the mythical stabilisation job, for someone to take over a steadier platform. |

What a contrast to the Sunderland game. If the players can stick to that kind of game plan and performance, even if the opponents are expecting it I think we can have a good chance of points from most of the games left. Hopefully we can keep it up, and the confidence holds. |

Really good write up Clive, think you've captured a lot of what us experience / experienced - I've stayed up to finish reading this (rather than last weeks journalists on Twitter)... Now Bed! |
