QPR - Crap From Top to Bottom


A pretty disgraceful season for QPR, in fact a debacle of a season QPR had so much promise but what was left was utter comedy on and off the pitch. Here are a few of my highlights of the season and where it went wrong and who is to blame. 

Transfers - Poor. The best Jordon Mutch brought for £6m in the summer, sold to Palace for under £5m in January. Classic Stuff.   


No replacement for Remy. Everyone in football knew he would leave before the window closed, apart from it seems Harry Redknapp & Fernandes.

Pre season, Ireland with around 12-16 players depending on who you believe.

3-5-2 that lasted 3 games, it made a few comebacks but shockingly didn’t work.

We were good at home, wins over Aston Villa, Leicester, Burnley, WBA & a draw over Man City.

Away form was a disgrace, 11 defeats in a row. Upton Park was the lowest point for me. Why didn’t they get rid of Redknapp then? A fun win at Sunderland but then normality resumed with more defeats. Man City 6-0 was a performance of a team that had well and truly given up and didn’t care for the club. Leicester will also beat us on the last day.

Remember that good home form? It disappeared the last win at Loftus Road was in December 2014. 6 defeats in the Premier League at home in a row a new record. QPR have not scored 2 goals or more in a game at home since December.

Hary Redknapp……

Tony Fernandes – ‘Dream Manager’ that worked. The Football world is full of sharks, it’s not F1 or the Airline business. He needs to wise up.

In the press battles, Harry v Adel ‘Too fat to play’ was a joke the way the entire world saw that play out.

The January transfer window Harry Redknapp basically screwed over the club.

We missed out on Pardew, Pulis and Sherwood. I believe all would have done better than Chris Ramsey.

Chris Ramsey, a ‘yes man’, right place right time. Lucky to get the job will be the luckiest man in football if he keeps it. I doubt the players respect him; these egos won’t listen to man who was in charge of the youth teams a few months ago. I don’t think he can bring in players who would want to play for him, to be honest who would want to play for QPR next season. A good coach not a manager for me.

Leroy Fer disappointing.

Shaun Wright-Phillips, Jnr Hoilett, Kranjcar banter all season. Sandro probably the worst Brazilian to play in the Premier League. Zarate? Also imagine a world where Barton just didn’t speak.

Green, Dunne, Henry, Phillips & Austin the only players to come out this season with a bit of dignity.

How good is Charlie Austin, what a legend hope he goes on to better things.

Late goals- Liverpool H & A, Swansea H, Southampton H, Hull A &Chelsea H all so costly. A clear lack of focus and concentration all season.

Cup competitions – What are they?

In all it’s been a forgettable season. I think next year will either be QPR get promoted at the first attempt again. Somehow someway we do. Or option 2 we fall to League 1, QPR don’t have boring mid table seasons.

Agree or Disagree?

Is it time for women officials in top flight football?

Can they run they line? Can the referee a top flight game? Are they any better or worse than male referees? Or should they stick with the female version of the game? Richard Keys & Andy Gray have once again brought this issue in to football. Here are a few for’s and against women officials. The Pro’s Women have become part of modern day football. That is a fact. At all levels they plan the game and in some cases they run the show, for example Karen Brady. They now attend more games than they use to. You see them in the crowds, mainly in the home end sitting down not signing but they’re still there. There’s no reason to say they don’t know the rules of the game, especially the offside rule as its now become very, very vague to what it actually is! As long as their adequate and have the ability to do the job properly and fairly surely that’s all that matters. Could this be the key that brings a bit more respect in to the game of football? The Con’s Can the female officials take the a

Premier League Preview 2016-17

1 Manchester United Money has been thrown and thrown, Paul Pogba has returned in a world record fee and Zlatan is in the Premier League. Oh and now Jose Mourinho is at Old Trafford talk about star names all in one place. It will be interesting viewing from the entire league. Does Jose care about the kids? Can he get United back in top 4? Can they win it? I think yes to the last 2 anyway and Jose will buy and bully his way to the top of the Premier League, just. I'm pretty sure no United fan will care.   Key Man – Anthony Martial his second year in English football he had a good start, I expect all eyes will be on Ibrahimovic , Pogba maybe even Rashford see how he does. Personally I think Martial could outshine them all.  2 . Manchester City Pep Guardiola in the Premier League, City have been after him for years. So after success in Spain & Germany how can he do in England? Well I think he will do very well but that defence at the minute w ill cost them ! John St

Bayern Munich 1-1 Chelsea - Chelsea win 4-3 on penalties (2012)

From the feedback so far on the blog for some reason Bayern Munich v Chelsea is the one a lot want to read and reflect on. I can't think why. Well the German side back in the final on their home patch surely it’s the perfect time for them to lift the Champions League again? Well football is not that easy and can be cruel.  Roberto Di Matteo was named caretaker manager of Chelsea in March 2012 until the end of that season after the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas. What came in the few months after will forever be remembered in Chelsea’s history. Leading up to the final ‘leader’ John Terry was suspended after getting sent off in the semi-final against Barcelona. This was literally set up for Munich to win.  Looking back at this game I remembered the surprise selection of Ryan Bertrand in the starting line up and Arjen Robben missing a lot of chances for Bayern, boy did he miss a lot. Chelsea pretty much defended for most the game (in particular though Ashley Cole was outstanding) cr
