Yeah, the injuries (especially to Burrell) have dampened things a tad. Was looking forward to hopefully seeing him run at them.
Really don't know how it could pan out. I've already explained to my son that we are playing a PL team so kind of getting the excuses in early if we do end up losing!
I'm going there with a view that if we lose it's kind of expected (for so many reasons) and not going to be too despondent about it. BTW - I'm not being defeatist before anyone tries to jump down my throat!
If we do manage to get a positive result out of the game then it will be a day to remember. |

Amorim pretty much got himself sacked (on purpose?...) when he said he's a Manager not a Coach.
I guess a lot depends on what basis he was employed as. If it was as a Manager and people above were meddling in team selections/tactics etc then I get his frustration. If he was employed as a Coach then he shouldn't have taken the job if he wants to be a Manager and by taking the job, means you accept those terms.
Once he came out and said what he said, it was pretty much over for him.
Still, it's Man U so.... guffaw! |

"win and it's what you were supposed to do, anything else and you'll get hammered for it"
That sums up pretty much every game.
I'd bet the traffic on here is lighter when we win and a lot heavier when we lose as you have all & sundry talking about the starting XI, the tactics, the subs, the individual players, the manager and so on. Things that get talked about much less when we've won because we've won.
We could have the right starting XI, the right tactics, the right subs and so on and somehow not win and it's all-out mayhem on here.
Yet you could have the wrong starting XI, the wrong tactics, the wrong subs and so on and somehow manage to win but that's OK, because that is what is wanted. |

Although he did very well to shake off two defenders, I thought it wasn't a particularly good cross by Hoilett, straight to Keogh rather than to Austin or Zamora (but I am accounting for the fact he had two defenders right on him).
It was fortuitous for us that Keogh fluffed it up allowing Zamora to pounce.
As for rating opposition players, then they came to us....... there's a whole list around the early 10's that just phoned it in once the ink was dry on very, very lucrative contracts. Fkin mercenaries, the lot of them.

Has anyone got their tickets yet?
I had an email from QPR confirming the purchase and seat no's but not a PDF (with a barcode/QR code etc) or anything that I usually expect. |

This isn’t a ‘must win’ game in terms of points needed but by heck we do need to win it in terms of morale especially as West Ham are getting tonked at so far winless Wolves and we could do with going into the cup game on a bit of a high. |

Well, exactly, it’s all a waste of time IMO.
I don’t bother with pre and post match manager interviews because they are simply not going to give anything away (and not should they) and it’s just formula answers to formula questions, repeated 45+ times a season.
“Do you think the opposition team should have had a penalty?”
“Oh no…” [furiously tugs ear lobe] “it was a clean tackle and I didn’t see anything wrong with it”
The manager is hardly going to say that the player was taken out, stonewall penalty and a sending off.
Same with MoTD, so much air time given to post match analysis (just show more match minutes), all a waste of time. I can see for myself thanks. Yet they get paid huge amounts for what amounts to pub talk and ‘bantz’.

For the West Brom game, I spent most of the game preparing the floor (with primer first) and then mixing up and applying floor levelling compound in our utility room.
I even had a handle snap on the tub so some spilt onto the paving slabs outside and needed clearing up.
By all accounts, that was probably all more interesting than the game. |

Managers are not going to publicly give solutions (if they have one) to the problem as that’s going to play into the hands of teams we play over the next few weeks.
I just hope they do have one and it’s sorted out behind closed doors. [Post edited 1 Jan 19:46]

Norwich’s second took a deflection but looks like we deserved nothing out of tha game.
The game v Wednesday has to be a turnaround from recent form and for God’s sake someone has got to get a grip on Bannon from the off, not from 5-10 minutes in to see how he’s doing. We know what he can do so just stop him from the first whistle. |

I’m not watching the game but did their second come about because we were pushing for an equaliser or are we just schite? |

I too was a bit miffed when I saw the line up but feels to me it’s resting players in the hope of getting two straight home wins.
Mangers will, of course (and nor would I want them to) not say this as it’s giving things away but is always a gamble but with a club like ours that don’t have the resources of the elite, I can understand why it would be done if indeed that is the plan. |

I can’t see how they can issue any more as the blocks either side are for home fans and have sold tickets. It would be a logistical nightmare trying to sort that out if they’d have to re-allocate those tickets. Maybe as many QPR fans as possible can buy in those adjacent blocks to keep as many of us together?
As far as the ground goes, their fans got what they deserve. Besides, where else could they go? Part of the problem long before the Olympics came along was there was nowhere to relocate to. The 2012 games solved that problem but the Olympic people right royally messed it up by building a stadium not designed to be repurposed for football.
