 | News Comment | Dunne rescues QPR from more Boxing Day blues – Report by Geoff78 at 20:43:53
Poor first half but not abysmal, better second half but not great. It shows what Julien says about needing 100%. A drop off of 20% (?) in the first half and maybe 5% (?) in the second. We can do better, but we are doing so much better than recent years. As Ben Stokes said top sportsmen sometimes deserve a bit of empathy. Our lot aren't 'top' sportsmen, but they are mostly young men playing at a level higher than they've done before and we need to be patient with our expectations. |

No need to apologise at all. You are regularly throwing out two or three thousand word pieces and I throw back a few hundred, like I’m the only view that matters. But at least I did refrain from criticising your player ratings |

Everybody simply doing their jobs is all, Clive. Which the players clearly weren't and Dunne admitted as much post match. Sorry if you felt I was questioning the quality of your writing which clearly wasn't my intention, just the leniency of our performance. Again just as with the 'three games in a week rhetoric' I simply don't buy into ' the busy Christmas schedule' as an excuse for not being arsed at Portsmouth like it's something new or we are the only team that has to do it. I said after the magnificent performance at Leicester that we never need to accept 'Norwich' performances again and then they serve one up in the very next game. We cannot control form anyone can have an off day in any walk of life but we can control effort and there was precious little on display at Portsmouth. |

Myke, if I gave the impression I was happy with that game, I'm sorry. I'll armour up a bit more next time. I think at this time of year it's important to remember you're asking young lads to do four games in a week over Christmas. Two at home, two away, down to Portsmouth, up to Birmingham, back round again. Recovery, rinse, repeat. It's nuts, what we ask of the players in this period. Absolutely nobody needs that West Brom game on the 29th, and even fewer than that need a 1230 kick off against Norwich on New Year's Day. Massive overspill, overkill of mediocre football from tired, tired players. That goes for match reporters too. Do you think I wanted to spend today writing this report? Rather generous, was it? You're lucky it wasn't written in crayon. |

Cheers Clive. I agree with your first half summary, but feel your take on the second half rather generous. We improved marginally (we could hardly have deteriorated) and moved the dial just enough to equalise fairly early on against a very poor Portsmouth side, shorn of their best player (although Blair did a passable job of impersonating him first half). I’m thinking at this point, ‘okay forget the first half, 3-1 victory and all is forgiven’. Instead we looked slightly interested in actually imposing ourselves on the game, for the next ten or fifteen minutes. Poke game on and was an immediate upgrade on Dembele (he could hardly have been a downgrade) although has an annoying habit of just keep running until he gets dispossessed or runs out of pitch - hopefully just inexperience at a higher level. Smyth came on for Saito and surprisingly made little impression at either end of the pitch, which rather debunks your theory (that I agree with) that he should have started. In the end, rather embarrassingly, we were hanging on, as a series of schoolboy errors, applied completely unnecessary pressure on our box. I was relieved when the final whistle went, which says it all. I’ve seen it said on the message board that JCS was sorely missed, and there is no doubt that the balance he gives the side on the left, benefits both RND and whoever plays in front of him. But he hasn’t played enough (or well enough, bar Leicester) to be a loss to the side in the sense that we are missing something new or for the first time. For me, the player we missed the most was Chair. His ability to keep possession, his work-rate and his ability to bring others into play - we missed him on the left side far more than the (n)ever present JCS. |

Thanks for your preview. 'We haven’t won away on Boxing Day since 1967'. Christ almighty! Just shows we should never have got rid of Alec Stock. Anyway, enough with the damning statistics. Can this QPR side overcome history? Unfortunately, we never seem to do well in the games we're supposed to win. |
 | News Comment | A big January ahead for ailing Pompey – Oppo Profile by nesteroid at 21:46:57
Hello! I stumbled upon https://trading.biz/forecast/g while browsing currency forums for guidance. I had been unsure about when to enter GBP/PKR trades, and the page’s forecast charts immediately caught my attention. I tested a couple of the recommended timing windows and was pleasantly surprised when my trades actually aligned with the trends. It’s satisfying to finally see some consistency after weeks of small losses. Having a reliable forecast to follow made a big difference. |
 | News Comment | Premier League ref Bond in charge of Plymouth trip - Referee by hixepeg940 at 22:52:23
I'm a big football fan, but after a sprained ankle, the doctor recommended yoga for recovery. I recently downloaded the Yoga-Go app. Before subscribing, I checked out https://yoga-go.pissedconsumer : people praised the easy-to-follow lessons and the progress. I took a trial period, and the classes helped with my flexibility and the pain went away. Now I sometimes switch to yoga instead of a match—it's relaxing. Yoga-Go is suitable for beginners, but read the reviews and keep an eye on the subscription. |

Typical transfer drama; last year, similar news had me running to and from the stadium, racking up extra miles in excitement over potential reinforcements. To track this fan activity and improve my fitness before away games, I chose a Fitbit with GPS and heart rate monitoring. When setting up notifications, I looked at the how to contact fitbit https://fitbit.pissedconsumer. , and email support responded promptly. Everything worked perfectly, my motivation is at its peak, and now I'm looking forward to the matches with a positive attitude. |
 | News Comment | Leeds Kick Off Transfer Window with Loan Moves for Gelhardt and Crew by hixepeg940 at 16:51:11
Leeds' transfer activity with its troves of young talent reminds me how important it is to give players a chance to develop. After a disappointing season in the Fan League, I wanted to add fitness goals to my life through a sports app. I looked at user reviews at https://www.pissedconsumer.com , which contained positive reviews of the End to End service and virtual tracks. I registered, completed the first challenge, and felt a surge of energy. Football has become even more vibrant thanks to this balance! |
 | News Comment | Promotions and POPs as Plymouth and QPR rekindle rivalry – History by hixepeg940 at 16:50:24
For me, the history of promotions fills me with nostalgia for those highs. I recently overcame the "third division" in my career and used AI to simulate interviews. I read reviews at https://www.pissedconsumer.com , where people praise Final Round AI for its user-friendliness and attentive support. This has led to interview wins, the joy of a new role, and an extra boost of motivation to support QPR. Connections like these make life brighter! |
