Luton away was one of the best atmospheres I have been in for many a year, so loved that of course.
Then, erm, not a huge amount of choice - would have to be the Norwich home game I guess.
Let's hope there are more to choose from next year.... |

Cyber bullying, really? After one post in April talking about cheese as per tradition, you suddenly appear with a lengthy post that (1) smears the behaviour of a manager, still popular on here, with alleged inside knowledge and (2) oddly sings the praises of our Commander in Chief.
Your first cheese post was greeted with nothing but kindness and welcoming.
Your second one was treated with people arguing the opposite to your views and, given past stooges on this board, questioning your validity. That's allowed, hardly bullying.
You may be genuine, but in my view none of your responses have particularly convinced me. Your Oxford Madsen story you cling to is odd, too. I, like many others on here, were in that away end and I don't remember Madsen "abuse". I also must have missed your post talking about it, after you were "inspired" to do so. I find it odd that if your views are so anti-Cifuentes, why not be "inspired" to question his ridiculous faffing about subbing off Field that night that cost us a goal and could have cost us the match.
I am a big fan of Marti, but not so blinkered to think he was perfect. Always happy to hear arguments against and I posted on here my fury about his sacking off of the Leicester cup tie.
The pro-Nourry stuff is just odd because even when we've had competent executives (can't remember when, but hey) as a fan it is hardly something you get excited about.
But each to their own.
Maybe you are genuine. We are all different. Excuse us if we've been around QPR a long time and never heard anyone talking about "Bobby Z" or "the beamback" with pride.
I know that doesn't prove anything. After all, some loyal souls had snakes with them in the away end on Saturday and personally I couldn't disagree with them more.
And our No.1 fan Terry Cinzano also talks about Rangers in a language I can't relate to, and he's been to every single second of every home game since the late 19th century.
So perhaps you aren't a stooge. Questioning it is fine in my book - but I still completely disagree with your views. |

Ah - one of the greatest few lines in one of the greatest comedy series ever.

I've seen people shaking his hand too. They were actually people I know, who were also Old Paulines like me and your man Nourry. Unlike me, they come from the archaic view that because he went to their school he must be a decent fella - and obviously far better suited to the role than Les Ferdinand. What a load of pompous old tripe.
Why were you surprised by seeing it, you seem very impressed with the job Nourry has done? Surely you were keen to do it yourself? |

Don't think anyone has got a problem with you arguing against a Marti love-in. Or even defending Nourry, but to do so spouting rubbish like people think he saved the club - come on. That's the strangest take I've ever heard. Why do you say that? |

Look, if you are a genuine QPR fan then I apologise. Just making the point that your references are all slightly bizarre in that they are pitched in a way I have never heard a QPR fan pitch them, so they are ever so slightly off-kilter. Perhaps just a coincidence. If I was trying to convince someone I was genuine I would talk about Macca ticking off our away end for poor behaviour, or Spencer screaming "I am the f***ing man" when scoring on his debut at Reading. You know, things that you can only know about if you are who you say you are.
And if you are real, then I don't apologise for disagreeing vehemently with your pro-Nourry stance or the bit about Coventry away and people running up to praise him for saving the club. In what way would anyone think he had done that?! |

Sorry but this post has just done more to convince me you aren't what you say you are. Who the hell would write "Oxford (as favourites)". Or talk about the beamback rather than actually being at Hillsborough. We had 8,000 tickets there. And the "square it" stuff and Vauxhall Motors an AI trawler would find in seconds.
You need more convincing proof than that? |

Yes, we have to, even though it all seems rather odd. We can't just have any differing views from a new poster as an automatic assumption they are a stooge, or all debate dies.
It is hard to behave though. What's that stupid phrase about if it looks like a duck? |

I don't know what happened first hand in the away end yesterday, not much I suspect, but regardless of the PR campaign this has all turned out rather nice for Nourry, hasn't it? From his point of view, the potential flashpoint of the Burnley home game straight after Marti dropping the hints about being wanted, etc, gets watered down nicely by a 1230 ko and a 0-5 thumping. Then instead of a 7-0 rudderless drubbing we get an unexpected win at Sunderland. I don't think he could have scripted it much better (bit like if he happened to be dictating some of the first-time contributors' posts on here). |

Oh yes, great shout. I was a bit young but from my Dad's rantings he always thought he had ability but was too weak. Maybe I bit like Kevin Brock, although not even sure the ability was there with Brock. |

Fair point - his performance at Oxford, or at least his assists, were very important indeed. Needs to happen more than that, though, as I am sure you would agree. |

I agree, Brian. Obviously he is ours as he is on a *censored* year contract, so we need to get behind him, and he definitely has ability. However, a few performances in dead rubbers aren't going to win me over just yet. If he stands up to be counted at Wrexham or Birmingham or Leicester away at our first away game, then I will start to believe. |

Well of course, but it is quite hard to have a cerebral football song, you know. Plus if we could only sing about players and managers who wouldn't walk to a top Premier League club if asked, we would be singing about......erm no-one. |

I really hope we have all read this correctly. Resigning Cook an absolute no-brainer for me. No reason why he won't find his form again and if next season is going to be the dogfight we think it is, we desperately need him.
Imagine we're away at some hostile bear pit like St Andrews first game. I know who I want heading it away. Excellent partnership with Morrison was developing too. |

I'm sure you are not.
It's just so strange that at Loftus Road, in away ends, with friends, family...in the real world away from the faceless anonymity - you are more likely to find someone with John Terry on the back of their shirt then hear views claiming that Nourry is the man and Marti was the devil incarnate.
Like I said above, I need a break from all this. I have no idea what or who to believe any more, or even if I have any idea that what I think is correct. |

I don't know if I need a summer break, but reading stuff like this makes me question my own sanity. I think the opposite of literally everything you say.
Apart from bizarrely, as a fan, appearing to rate some inexperienced behind-the-scenes guy above the most charismatic and inspiring manager we've had in a decade - to say that you won't miss the Marti song is perhaps strangely the most odd thing. It's a good song, it got us singing and I think whatever the merits or otherwise of Marti it did everyone a power of good to have us singing positive songs about QPR and the club for once rather than derogatory songs about other towns / fans etc. Something to rally behind, and I know it seems a trite thing to say, but I think that song had quite a lot of importance. And I say that having not liked it first time I heard it.
I will miss it, we will miss Marti and I fear once your man Nourry makes his next appointment you will discover why getting us to 15th with the deck of cards he had was actually some pretty fine work. [Post edited 4 May 8:30]

Our competitors next season will no doubt be using the last "proper" game of the season to try out some plans, whilst we are managed by someone unlikely to be at the club, with a whole group of players who won't be here either.
No doubt this will roll into the normal pre-season shambles, so as usual, we're hardly likely to be sprinting out the blocks next season. In a season where a slow start is going to prove much more disastrous without (i) a top manager to pull us out of it and (ii) a stronger overall league.
Christian Nourry, get out of our club. |

Amazing words Clive, love the last paragraph. Almost got me invigorated again, even at the end of this terrible week.
Full credit to the 1,000 going up there, personally I hope a couple of anti-Nourry songs start doing the rounds.
Apart from that - thanks so much for all the brilliant writing, viewpoints and entertainment throughout yet another season. Safe travels. |
