Reply | Charlie Austin on Under the Cosh

Sorry, I didn't write that very well. What I meant was that if people who produced for us at League One level (don't agree that Holloway performed for us at Premier League level, in my view he was an abysmal footballer on the outskirts of an excellent team) are bandied about as legends, then so should Austin be.
Totally agree with your legends in your QPR lifetime. I started in 1980ish so mine are Clive Allen, Bannister (obvs), Fenwick, Ferdinand (Les ha ha), Macca, Wilkins and then possibly only Austin anywhere else near that list. Common denominator = top flight. |

They have, giving a lie to the "cheats never prosper" mantra.

Isn't it possible that age and his body caught up with him? Can't remember a more clear example of seeing a player whose legs had "gone" as in that cup tie at Peterboro when he started.
Now, maybe if he had lived like a saint and trained like Ronaldo it wouldn't have happened, but I find it hard to think ill of Charlie considering he got us to the Premier League, did brilliantly in the PL, had a quality loan spell back with us.
In an era when Holloway, Bircham and Ainsworth are called legends, I will always put Charlie above them, class act. |

Extraordinary. Watch the replay of the race (sorry, don't know how to embed links here), it is outrageous and almost unbelievable. Banned for life coming, I suspect - and quite right too. |

This - I always got the impression he and his family were immersed in QPR, to me he was limited but gave it everything he could, and the point about the pneumonia should never be underestimated, at a time when fully fit loanees were just lying on the ground for no reason. |

I'm no Nourry fan, but I think once you start thinking this way there is literally nothing he can do that is right, and that can't be healthy? On the face of it, all seems sensible. Fernandes would have carried on bidding until getting his man. Nothing wrong with being in for Edwards, but it has to be a workable price. |

Obviously I wanted Edwards but splashing endless cash on him would have made me somewhat uncomfortable that Nourry was just playing Football Manager. This looks sensible to me; we appear to have made a decent offer, but won't be hold to ransom. |

Aha! No wonder you hate the club, always want them to lose - this is when you get the millions rolling in from LFW.
Finally, I get it.
On a serious note, it is odd. I know for a fact I am much more likely to log into this board quicker after a defeat than a win. To try and find solace in the anger, perhaps? Or maybe because I don't want my mood to be brought down by someone claiming Sam Field is useless even though he was instrumental in a win in my eyes? Who knows. [Post edited 1 Sep 10:52]

These people bothering you are an utter disgrace and I presume it is against the law. You should be able to write what you want to write or think what you want to think. It is you that puts the work in, you that travels up and down the country and the entertainment you provide is superb. I don't always have to agree with what you think about the team, or club (just like Dave Mc at WLS) but I always love and appreciate what you do.
I am with you here though, for all the what ifs and sliding doors moments of Saturday, there's no point in supporting the club if you don't enjoy the winning times, however they come. Those of us old and bitter and twisted are allowed to be concerned at the same time that some familiar issues remain and I certainly think Wrexham will be an interesting guide. I remember coming out of Kenilworth Road last season thinking top half was a certainty and all was rosy. How wrong I am on these things, relentlessly. That's where the caution comes from. |

"Sign him and we’re a centre mid away from a promotion capable team."
Very true, provided that centre midfielder was Roy Keane in his prime.
Love being a QPR fan, inside one week we've gone from being 6-0 down after 47 mins to threatening the top echelons after a hard-fought home win against one of the relegation favourites. Kone's turned into a cross between Van Basten, Ferdinand, Austin and Shearer, Saito is De Bruyne and Mbengue the next Danny Maddix.
Must admit, I prefer the optimistic route. It's more fun.
Who knows what Wrexham away will bring? :-) |

I think this is the point, isn't it? I mean, it's Edwards so you think that getting him can only be a good thing - but on a practical nature, we've got Morrison, Mbengue, JCS, Cook, Dunne...I am not sure how it can be justified when we need elsewhere?
Having said that, I though the same about Saito - and now I don't so much! |

Yeah I thought Morrison did OK but Mbengue, as lovable as he is, did some bizarre play on occasions and although I detest Nathan Jones with a passion, many referees would have given him a second yellow. I don't understand Field being left out, very harsh in my opinion.
A fully fit Varane is going to make an impact this season, though, if we keep him. |

Cripes, thought Kone looked good and a breath of fresh air, but we've gone early on this board today... £20m here and better than Austin mk 1 on another thread!
Let's let him breathe for a bit :-).
Lovely win today, much better. |

Whoops downvoted original post by mistake, sorry. Totally embarrassing yesterday and it has been coming. Makes the cup toss off even more unforgivable and inexplicable. Still, Kone may have added to his sell on value so project still on track. [Post edited 24 Aug 7:57]

Maybe lots of people are saving their money so they can go in three years' time when all the future plans will have come to fruition? I mean, as apparently results don't matter at the moment, what's the point in going? |

Or when we spend £8m bringing Nakhi Wells in from Luton, paid upfront in full? May give us a clue. |
