I wasn't in for 10p, was in for cover price + tip, so can now reveal I'll see you/won't see you there.
4-4, and we lose on pens. |

You'd bite a hand off for £6m for Varane, who reminds me of Dozzell - he's dozy, doesn't influence games, and looks like he's just woken up. He hasn't improved or developed since he's been here and is also now 24, so that's worrying. I'd take the money we paid for him and move on. |

You've made my point (again) for me, so it seems like we agree.
It's surely not news that players who can't do it at one level, for physical reasons, sometimes drop down the league where the game is less demanding. That's why Jimmy Greaves turned out (in midfield) for Barnet later on. I just don't see JCS as a sustainable option for us in the Champ, and he's had plenty of time with us now. Talent is pointless if you can't showcase it for more than a few weeks at at a time. |

Informative, well-argued, and nicely written piece. I'm intrigued to know what sauces have passed on the contractual situation re first team players when QPR are more guarded about the topic than a Prince Andrew Newsnight interview. (Though presumably said sauces are even more guarded.)
Though on balance I'm pleased to have him back in the building, I share some of the equivocations, especially given the high-end fee, in which connection it's also instructive to note the rather mixed set of ratings awarded by LfW during his loan spell.
I do think, however, that this is a position we've needed to strengthen at least as urgently as full-back, centre mid, or, now, up front. Only Sheffield Wednesday have let in more goals than us, and though that can't all be put down to the defence, it does suggest that we're rather bad at, uh, defending.
Welcome back, lush-haired lover, to our odd, lovable, and maddening little cave, and I hope very much that you'll da doo Ron Ron Ron, da doo Ron Ron. [Post edited 9 Jan 23:18]

if Edwards is incoming, JCS should/will probably be outgoing. He's played 60 games in 3.5 years, and can't go on. In my view, the club should be taking a view of it, and offering him terms ot cancel his contract. Perhaps he can kickstart his career at a lower level. It's a shame, as he's talented of course. |

According to one view on here, I'm apparently less of a supporter/qualified to post as I live in Ireland so don't get to many games. |

In case you overlooked it, we got to Wembley in 1982 (and should/would have won it, had it not been for the corrupt ref). Our journey there that year makes it pretty clear how much we wanted it, I should have thought. |

Your forensic need to hold me to standards of scrupulous consistency you don't apply to anyone else on something as inconsequential as a football message board is strangely touching in the end, Northern - not least because I'm sure you don't intend it to be.
See my previous reply. If it's rationality thou seekst from a football fan - especially this one - I don't what to tell you. In the end, we all succumb to absurdity - it's just that some are too po-faced to see it. [Post edited 6 Jan 10:19]

I don't think I ever excluded myself from the idea that all fans are mugs, Northern. I'm a fan, so it has to follow. It's not a paradox, by the way. It's a flagrant, sickening contradiction - and (here's the newsflash) I'm a contradiction too. There's no therapy for it. That's what fan love is, what I am. It's not healthy.
Anyway, thank god for the non-contradictory, shadowless, sorted ones, looking down from a hooped Olympus on little men like me. I am un/worthy. [Post edited 6 Jan 10:09]

JS said afterwards that he'd been on the grass for a week or two, but just not done many sessions. Hence, he asked him if he needed to come off toward the end, but fortunately he didn't. |

If we could take out Varane (prederably permanently), play Field in his best role as a shield, and push Madsen further forward, I think that would be good. |
