Not seeking to be a naive happy clapper, and the silence from HQ clearly isn't helpful...but there seems to be an awful lot of guesswork re Dunne & Cook in particular. If someone feels a twinge in a friendly a week before the real stuff starts, you sub 'em. We did that, and the comms void has subsequently led to a lot of presumptions.
All I've seen is this from JS on WLS immediately after the Brentford game:
“I hope Jimmy will be OK because we stopped (him playing) quickly. For Cookie it was after a run, so I don’t know yet. I hope we can have these players available.” |

Can't argue with any of your Top 14 definitely finishing above us.
From Swans in your 15th spot downwards, it feels like perm 2 from 9 (incl us) to join poor old Wednesday. |

Blimey - our fresh faced academy prospect Joe Lumley is 30, and the even fresher faced much hyped teenage sensation Jonny Howson is 37.
When did that happen?
And it doesn't sit comfortably being jealous of Millwall.
Thanks as always for the stupendous effort that goes into these - if I may steal your own phraseology, you're our very own cheat code for pre-match pub chat with non-LFW reading Rs, as we reel off the finer details of Bristol City's academy prospects and Charlton's pre-season transfer business to general amazement. |

He spent his last few weeks in his half season with us on the bench, as I recall... |

Read the room Beans and chill the fk out.
As others have stated, you've killed a thread about a hilarious, lighthearted report on a euro pre-season awayday.
And before you come back with the stock "it's a messageboard can't we debate / have different opinions" schtick - yes, we can, but think time & place. Had Clive done a long piece on hopes & expectations for the new season, referencing the messy end to the old one, and suggesting Nourry had put pressure on himself...well then your post above would have fitted in (tho the patronising tone still would have riled many, I'm sure). |

I've not included him or Fox cos their contracts ran out on June 30, and we've heard nothing official other than that the club is talking to them (and that was several weeks back before all the pre-season games). [Post edited 28 Jul 15:04]

I know Nourry isn't King of the Comms by any stretch, but why are you saying we haven't been told when we have - from the offish:
" Charlie expressed a desire to move on. When it became clear Charlie did not want to extend his time with us, we have worked with him to achieve this transfer while also acting in the best interests of the football club.”
Short of saying we offered him £x over x years but Charlton offered him y...or saying Stephan didn't rate him...or Kelman said you've fkd me about for 4 years, I'm off (things that no club would reveal), what exactly are you after? |

Think I spotted a couple of "headed goals" in there too...which is nice. |

Reply | Jimmy Dunne where should he play

Even by LFW standards, the slagging of Adamson based on a couple of pre-season runarounds is mind-boggling (young kid in new country, big step up etc)...but equally, it's surely clear he's been brought in as cover for Dunne not a starter (lessons learned from Santos).
And as BuckR says, whatever anyone thinks about whether JD 'looks' like a full back etc - last season's division-topping stats suggest we'd be mad to play him anywhere else...which I suspect is also why we've stocked up on CBs. |

Agree, Hemp & Russo work so hard that they knacker the oppo defenders - Kelly & Aygemang have been the beneficiaries, like Russo herself and Toone were in 2022. |

Difficult one re the starting line up - not only should Chloe start, and if so ahead of whom (I have mixed feelings on Hemp, she's a bit of a Paul Smyth at times - roasts the full back for fun then the cross is poor); but also...based on the first half vs Sweden (and being less than convincing in other games), I'd bench Jess Carter purely for footballing reasons, but with everything that's come out in the interim, it would look like the idiots & racists have won.
In the current rankings, Spain are 2nd, Germany 3rd, England 5th, Sweden 6th, France 10th and Italy 13th...so we have to start as favourites. |

Tbf, I pissd myself when the whole of that side stand behind him stood up and mimicked the 'rolling arms / I need to be subbed' gesture, while singing "how sht must you be, he wants to go home" (for those not familiar with the unique Hull accent, try pronouncing home like there was an umlaut over the letter o - 'heum'). |

But really, why should it be "contentious" and, as a result, create a "battleground"?
This is a QPR forum, but there are regularly threads about other football, from kids to non-league to the Champions League. Those interested in those areas debate them quite happily. No one is trying to get others to 'align' with them.
Kensal's post re the historical suppression of women's football points it out very clearly as to why those who partake in and / or support the women's game may be seen as trying to play catch up. |

In an amazing coincidence, it turns out that as well as being bezzies with Senora Cifuentes, Mrs Lassel also goes way back with Mme Stephan.
Who'd've thunk it? |
