We're sixth favourites with the bookies, at shorter odds than Stoke, Luton and Derby. The best odds available for us are 6/1 while Coventry, also on 29 points, can be found at 80/1 with the same bookies!
On a brighter note we are also 6/1 to finish in the top half and those odds are coming in, whereas our relegation odds are drifting.
Coldest - Stamford Bridge January 1991. A dreadful 2-0 defeat in a red/orange kit where Michael Meaker was our best player!
Wettest - The FA Cup 2-0 win against Arsenal in January 1990. My fault for standing in the East Paddock. One of my favourite matches and the noise when Sansom scored...!!!
I can't believe that anyone thinks we are safe and not just because that saying that is as unwise as posting that we had done the double over Norwich before the game against them had ended.
The bottom 3 will be Plymouth plus any two of the eleven teams currently in the bottom half. Looking at the other teams on 29 points, I can't see Millwall, Coventry or Preston going down but I don't look at us the same way for the simple reason that we are QPR and anything is possible.
I too have a hunch that Derby might go down. I thought they looked very basic when we played them but we gifted them the 3 points. I also think Oxford might drop, despite their recent bounce, as they looked dreadful against us.
Cardiff and Hull are the other teams looking most vulnerable, but I think Portsmouth will pull away from trouble and I just can't see Luton or Stoke going down.
On the one hand, the sale of most alcohol is down to marketing and Guinness has somehow pulled off the trick of looking like something cool to drink, which makes no sense when you think about it.
On the other hand, I've had some great pints of Guinness and some utter drek from local pubs a few hundred yards apart, but whether it is down to the pour or other factors I have no idea.
While we're at it, I'm still impressed with Guinness 0.0. No other AF drinks come close to it for tasting like the alcoholic version and it's just about as good as the normal stuff, even if Guinness never tastes as good from a can.
A great listen and a reminder of how enjoyable 2002-05 was, certainly compared with what has happened since, with a few exceptions and the first promotion to the Premier League.
People at the gym who sit at a weights machine and fcuk about on their phone for 20 minutes as if they're sat on a park bench.
People at the gym who like to have bantz with the instructors. There's one bloke in my spin class who shouts out things like "Great tune, mate!" to the instructor.
People in the full gym car park who sit in their cars with the lights on, ready to leave, while you sit there like a prick waiting to see whether they'll pull out, which they never do.
Half an hour into the match I announced to my son: "I have now made up my mind. Celar is just plain crap." I'd given him plenty of time but he was having a shocker.
For my next act I will announce that Varane is never going to score from outside the box, around 12.50 on Saturday.
The Shawshank Redemption. I used to love it but I started watching it again last week and I hated it and had to turn if off. I think it might be Morgan Freeman's smug and all-knowing voiceover that did it for me.
The same applies to Red Dwarf - whenever I catch a repeat on TV I can't believe how much I liked it in the 80s.
On a brighter note, I now fancy Sophie in series 1 and 2 of Peep Show for the first time. She is sooo Rainbow Rhythms.
I'm concerned too, but you can only stress about all of this for so long. Football has changed so much, for the worse, and we are so far away from looking like a professional club and team that I can't find the passion and enthusiasm I used to feel. I wish I felt differently but it's becoming a chore to support QPR.
I watched it recently and thought it was pretty good until the last 20 minutes or so, which were utterly ludicrous. It was a good idea for a movie and pretty well done until it fell apart, almost literally.
