Do we not all want the same thing? 16:46 - Feb 17 with 1462 viewsMyke

I know we are (in our opinion anyway) the most frustrating team in the entire league. Beat Coventry, lose to Blackburn blah, blah, blah. (For me the most frustrating game of the entire season was Portsmouth away and we didn’t even lose! Because I stupidly thought beating Leicester was a ‘watershed’ moment in our season , instead of a ‘tear in the fabric of reality’ moment) But despite all the misgivings, the heartaches, the ball-aches , the downright boredom in supporting this team, this club, we are all ultimately singing off the same hymn sheet are we not? We all want this team to succeed, do we not? Success can mean different things to different fans (4th round of the FA Cup would be nice for example), play-offs anyone? But ultimately we all want to win more games than we lose and we want to be entertained while winning these games.
So, with this in mind and bearing in mind our universal admiration for Clive and the effort he puts in here, and the cognisance of the shit he takes on line, just by keeping this site afloat and daring to be honest and truthful .Can we not try - if not to all get along - to at least moderate our differences and show common support for the club we love, while perhaps making Clive’s job a touch easier?

I believe you are correct, Myke - it just manifests in different ways for different people.

Different strokes and all that.

Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

I got called out for winging and to get behind the team before the Blackburn game for saying what I saw in JS approach to games. After Blackburn it was winge central on here. It hurt my feelings and wasn’t necessary. :)

So whole heartedly agree with Myke. Let’s agree to disagree sometimes.

We don't all want and/or value the same things, rather obviously! The trouble (and joy) is we see the world differently, and so 'honesty' and 'authenticity' mean different (and sometimes conflicting) things to, and have different effects on, different people. I'm in conflict with myself, let alone others, on a daily basis. That's what QPR and the world - both inner and outer - does to anyone of any complexity, right? Some people would rather be sheep than individuals, however - twas ever thus!

People who are connected to power structures of whatever kind also tend to be somewhat compromised and/or agenda-driven. As Roland Barthes put it, 'the one who is pure of power is insane'. Certainly, the most vulnerable, sensitive, and thin-skinned suffer most, and more people than one would like to admit love (to hate) a scapegoat.

We dream the same dream. We want the same thing and all that we need is to see it together.
We dream the same dream. We want the same thing for now, for love, forever, amen.

I was thinking the same thing myself.

But we are all the same in a QPR context that's my initial point. We are all QPR fans, who want them to do well. That's the common denominator that should be the base starting point for all discussion I would have thought.

I'm sure we all want the same thing for QPR but how we get there is extremely varied (choice of coach, starting XI, subs, tactics etc.) hence the discussions before, during and after each game and people (and I'm meaning everyone), understandably, can be very firm in their views hence differences of opinions.

Thing is, none of us have any control over any of it so sometimes it goes a bit OTT IMO. It all becomes about ones opinion being right (and again, I'm talking about everyone) and we just have a magic roundabout going around and around and around.....
