If you were to double your money in 6 months that unfortunately has to be filed under things we really should be doing. |

Tuchel does have the likes of Wharton and Gibbs White at his disposal who are good, technical players who like possession in tight areas and tough conditions, he chose to ignore them.
He ignored them in favour of prioritising physicality and quick wingers, so much so that even Madueke fluked a call up. Then he took them all off! Left Kane up top by himself.
It was a mad half hour really. McClaren like, never mind Southgate. |

The other big comparison with QPR is you don’t win many games of football while losing midfield. The two best midfields in this comp are the two teams in the final. |

As I recall the media did their usual thing of running around asking him whether he was going to sing the national anthem.
I saw an interesting point from Jack Pitt-Brook the other day, to my mind one of the few journos on the circuit today still worth reading (will always get in touch before writing a QPR piece to guage opinions rather than just assume) where he said after all that, this massive engorged World Cup, we’ve ended up with two teams in the final managed by international football specialists. The countries who paid big money for big name club managers fell by the wayside. International football is a different beast. England with Keegan, Eriksson, Capello, Allardyce (lol) and now Tuchel repeatedly go for the flavour of the moment from clubland. |

That’s either tonight where Jaz is doing Vienna to Paris via Frankfurt on the sleeper, or tomorrow where I’m doing Paris via Salzburg. |

Been at both games. Some bits and pieces (we keep inverting and narrowing the attack and crowding the space for Kone/Burrell) apart I really wouldn’t read much into any of it. Even by the standards of pre-season friendlies they were exaggerated training runs. |

And when you’ve been up until 2am watching that England performance, that’s a long train journey. |

We were dominating. We were dominating the whole thing. Came through the inevitable 20 minutes of cheating and gamesmanship, referee intimidation. Started to play. Played really well. Took the lead. Deserved to take the lead.
And then you've got them right where you want them. Keep playing your game, keep attacking, spring them on the counter as they come at you and the space opens up.
Instead... that. Ten men on the goal line and pray for time.
Can you imagine if that had finished 1-1? How exactly did we envisage extra time going? We're going to do that for another half an hour are we?
Back in my hotel room and fuming. |

Compare how Spain approached a 1-0 lead in a semi-final against a supposedly superior, dangerous team last night. |

This “Steve Bould doesn’t work Saturdays” thing is a myth. You can see him at the back of SARS with the analysts. He was on the bench during the first friendly. |

One of the many things I don’t like about QPR coms/internet land atm is this hyping of fees received. £3m for Armstrong, £5m for Kelman, Dykes etc. We actually got decent fees for those guys, there was no need for this guerrilla internet campaign to make out like it was millions and millions of pounds. It’s particularly frustrating when the accounts come out showing the truth, and nobody pays any attention. People would rather an ITK account lie to them, than be presented with a legally binding document that tells the truth. That’s the age we live in I guess, and certainly in QPR internet land. We’re already seeing it with Cooper, for whom £250k is about right, and you’re seeing ppl starting to lay the ground for Esquerdinha’s departure.
On a more positive note, we spent all last season saying the GKers we had were rubbish. Here we are mid July and they’ve all been shifted out and replaced with two good prospects. Might not work out, might be rubbish, Charles might be injury prone, the play out from the back nonsense might cost us (particularly if we don’t now overhaul the midfield), but at least they’ve had a strong, decisive swing at it rather than putting us through another year like the last. Or starting the year with Walsh and then dashing around last week of August begging a loan.

Whether we can do it or not remains to be seen but the aim this year is an awayday, a round table, and an interview of some sort each month. It’s a tall order but we’re going to have a swing at it. |

Yes I think we’re going to do Rapid v Panathinaikos and then back to the same place. Assuming they’ll let us in. |
