1000% this. Unbelievable he has as many caps as he does - carried by a great Arsenal defence and George Graham.
There's loads though, Rickie Lambert (and half the strikers from the 2000's onwards) wouldn't have been allowed near an England team if they played in the 90s. [Post edited 12 Jun 20:03]

How does your maximising revenue theory track with the home kit not being revealed until August? |

The strategy of purposely filtering communication and hiding decisions is disrespectful at best and shouldn't be tolerated. Fúck this ego child and his apathy to supporters. |

What a load of absolute fckin nonsense that statement is. The bullshit communication strategy persists and continues to feel more and more counter productive to us building something as a collective. Completely in the dark regarding the manager, coaching, backroom staff and player situations - and for what purpose? Where's the competitive advantage in any of this? |

It was more that I decided to keep track of the films I watched through Letterboxd, and make a conscious effort to watch more movies generally instead of just putting on some binge tv background stuff because I can't sit and concentrate on something!
It's not new films specifically, it includes rewatches, but 100 seems a realistic target... |

I haven't seen any of the MI films since number 2 but keen to watch the last one in the cinema so watched Fallout, what a brilliant action film, all around great stuff. Going to try and watch Dead Reckoning tonight but these 3hr run times are killer...
+1 for Sinners, absolutely loved it. That one scene - you'll know which one - was incredible.
I'm trying to get to 100 films this year, currently on 45 but flagging... |

They might still be using the old recruitment method of seeing him actually play football, the dinosaurs.
Get with the times, lads. Check the data set and run us the fee |

There's definitely a big increase in younger fans following EFL and non-league teams now, and it's brilliant. Of course social media is dominated by the usual United and Arsenal shite, but actual match going is much more for places like us.
Modern football at the higher level is the worst it's ever been - you can't get a ticket on the day, Season Ticket lists are years long, and if you can get a seat it's £50 plus. There's VAR, shite atmospheres, methodical/boring play styles, no proper tackles/physicality and every game is on TV or streams anyway.
Non-league / EFL is gonna be about £10-£20, you can always get a seat/stand, you can be with all your mates, the football is chaos and if it's local non-league you can mix with the players and feel like a proper part of the club / community.
Why anybody on earth would choose to go to PL games at this point is beyond me, but then that suits the owners who would rather charge £300 a pop to some American tourist that will go via the club shop.
The sooner City and the like fck off into a Super League, the better it'll be for everyone else. |

There's a difference between regular posters having contrasting opinions and whatever this cynical bullshit is. I think you probably know that though. |

What the fck is he still doing here btw?? His job was finance, something he was brought on for initially and personally I thought did a good and sensible job of, why is he still here doing something different or being involved in the football side of things at all? |

People in the club starting to talk and protecting their own positions now we're at the end of the season and decisions are to be made is not new, or unique to QPR. The Les, Lee, Ramsey fallout was only a few years ago and shít got leaked all over.
I agree this article doesn't say much we don't already know based on the WLS post match interview from Monday, but I think these whispers have been building for a while and people aren't happy - that usually ends with change somewhere... |

Wins it back and keeps it simple, that's his job and he's one of the best in the team at doing it right now. But maintaining possession doesn't make you 'good' at passing unless a chunk of those passes are going forward and/or creating chances, otherwise it makes you good at not losing the ball (a good trait, but not the same thing).
Again I'm not digging Colback out for what he's not good at, because he's great at the main part of his job, but if you were to list Colbacks 5 best attributes, passing wouldn't be one of them. Field is the same btw, except he's 10 years younger and plays double the amount of games.
Ultimately I think if Colback were given another year on reduced wages with the expectation to add depth and be a good example to younger players, I'd 100% take that. But if it's to remain a top earner and start games, I'd rather we thank him and move on. |

Not to turn this into a Colback thread and there will be end of season assessments to come, but a few things to consider.
1) Colback looks fresh recently, but you might expect that for a player that missed half the season and is playing for a new deal. Think he's done 20 odd games this season, similar to last year in terms of availability.
2) His best attributes are out of possession. He's not esp good passing or scoring, etc. He's very good at other things - particularly getting around the pitch to nuisance - but that requires fitness, athleticism and legs, all of which will diminish.
3) Let's not forget Johansen, he looked arguably better than Colback in the season before his extension, and we saw what an expensive mistake that turned out to be. I hope that lesson is one of the reasons we didn't pursue Hayden and instead signed a work in progress replacement with Varane.
Overall I agree Colback has been decent for the 50 odd games he's been available these last few years, and has shown up in patches and given us a bit of what we're lacking elsewhere. I also think his abilities and play style are relatively unique to our squad and midfield and need to be replaced next season, but do we really expect a 36 year old body - backed up by our medical team no less - to suddenly be able to maintain recent selection & performance levels in the slog of a championship? If you think he's good enough to start next season, are you happy to pay him even though he's likely going to miss half the season?
Overall I think it's fair to admit both sides, he's been important and fulfilled the remit of his contract, and that there's now an opportunity to shake hands and find a similar profile that would cost less and be more reliable. [Post edited 23 Apr 16:01]
