See that Stef will be keeping the armband this year but Micky B views this as symbolic for the fans and wants a leadership group of 4 or 5 equally capable of leading. Seems the right call even with Stefs on off form last season and he won't get through 50 games this year.
Who sits in the leadership group do we reckon?
Dunne seems a given and a bit of a natural leader who stands up - bar that Sheff Utd home game.
Chair- for sheer love of the club and likely ever present?
Adomah even though unlikely to play too much?
Dieng is a nice loud keeper and experienced now?
Dickie ability wise and to bring him out of himself at times?
Am I right in understanding that non ST holders who are resident in the UK&I are unable to pay a tenner to watch live games as per the end of last season?
Didn't see that one coming if so and haven't been following closely enough - scuppers my plans for Saturday if so! Legal spiel and ts and cs aren't my strongest suit but seems to be the case?
Seems to be enforced by conditions imposed by the EFL? Leaves me feeling pretty disappointed in all honesty.
Just released by Cardiff - seems a very long time ago he played for us! Despite winning the league 3 times in 4 seasons he used to terrify me with his fondness of letting the ball drop...
Wonder if he might be looking at him in the same experienced pro role as Rangel and Cameron though he was never as good and will be 33 by the time the new season starts.
Anyone know if he's been any good?
Seem to remember he bought a tattoo parlour when playing for us
Very much missing the collective experience of watching QPR at our beloved home - though not missing the three old men who I often sit in front of who I'm yet to see actively enjoy a QPR game.
Missing the crowds got me thinking about some of the one-liners you hear shouted out by our lovely fans, often well along the inebriated road.
What's the funniest call you remmber/sticks out the most for you?
Mine harks back to the relegation season 2001 (I was about 16 at the time) and a home game against Tranmere when their lump of a centreback hoofed the ball out of the ground and halfway to Chelsea. I just remember the bloke in front of me screaming out "Oi, don't do that - we can't afford another one" with the most impassioned look on his face - everyone around fell around laughing even though we were a game away from the drop. Not even that funny really but gallows humour shared at the death and one of the moments thats always stuck out for me.
We wear the same coloured clothes when we run around, Chasing the nourishing touch of leather on leather Seeking the subtly nuanced perfection of spherical Object meeting branded instep, no matter the weather, Imagining ourselves caressing, with all the essential Sensual skill of histories finest nymphettes this Near perfectly round thing and unravelling the mystery Of how we may bend its will to align with ours (Though I fear we'd need the gravity of a thousand stars) If you or I were to move the ball in a straight line Others can do it, we see it every week, passes finding the People that they seek, thus we know the skill lies Not in the divine, but it strikes me as yet another Of your kicks takes a hefty diversion, is it not that you Simply feel an aversion, to the hooped comrades you so frequently Miss, those hapless people who hear the sad hiss of a Ball as it fizzes its way to the opponents hands as I look dejectedly on from the helpless, crowded stands (I know you never liked Leroy and Adel is your bane Eduardo's too flashy and Karl is too plain) But you and I Joey, surely share no ill blood, we'd be Like two strangers running around in the mud, just Circumstantially dressed in the same coloured clothes I'd like to think if you shut your eyes and gave it a go You'd strike the ball in my direction, hitting it just right The ball and I would not pass like two ships in the night But would meet and it would not be such a shock (As it'd be were one of us to crash into the rocks of Misfortune and darned happenstance, taking the form of Some dastardly Tottenhams)
Together as strangers for I know How you disdain your teammates so If the night were warm, calm and not blowy Do you think you could pass to me, Joey?
I have, half thankfully, been away with work the past few weeks and so have missed the effective killing of our hopes of staving off the big R as internet connection has been sporadic. Back in the UK and back to LR today but have mixed emotions about it. Like all R's fans I'd like to see Stoke go down but I'm struggling to work up enthusiasm for the game today as, in my heart of hearts, I feel like many that we deserve to go down.
What team would you like to see today? Personally I'd like to see the players that give a flying f play. Almost all hope is lost regarding survival so play Nedum, play Derry, play that Korean LB (who is apparently quite decent) and tell Bosingwa, Granero etc. to fark right off and ostracise them in the vague hope someone might take them off us.
What happened? Not normally one to single someone out but he was unbelievably poor today. Too much turkey for Christmas? Stood off, stood off and then stood off some more.
