That depends on which country we're in!
I'm banned from the left side of our cooker as it gets splashes on her cake stand thing.....So usually back right as it's the bigger one. Instinctively I want to use Front Left, but just not worth the agg.
Another is how often we coat our kids with coconut oil.....She reckons it needs doing after every bath, whereas I always thought coconut oil was for cooking. |

Washing chicken, I've explained it's pointless and a health hazard, but she won't change. |

Huh? Looks like a pretty standard London classroom to me. How or why is it more meaningful than any other group of random kids? |

Yeah, probably too big, and utterly deserted on non-match days. Staff wearing layer upon layer of Sheff Wed tat to stay warm. Probably make a loss if they turn the heating on.
Meadowhall is also much further from Hillsborough than Westfield is from Loftus Road....And nowhere near as walkable. |

Agree. Surely the cost of trade at Westfield is gonna be astronomical. Both Sheffield clubs have closed their stores in Meadowhall, pretty sure I read that West Ham closed their Lakeside shop.....Surely those would be cheaper to run than one in Westfield Shepherds Bush? These club shops placed in shopping centers never really work out in my experience.
The current thing of having a few shirts in John Lewis seems like the right choice, but maybe a bad fit. JD Sports surely? |

A lot of this stuff also applies to Adel Taarabt. Loved himself. Saw himself as being bigger than QPR. Petulant. Absent. Overweight (allegedly). One man circus (definitely).
I always thought the "He don't pass enough" crowd was wrong about Taarabt, I loved him, I wanted him to start every game at a time people were calling for him to be dropped....Sounds unlikely now, but they did exist. It's partly why he never got our POTY that promotion season despite winning it for the entire Division. I spent a good hour on the train home from Hull that season defending him following his utterly embarrassing antics.
You won't find much hatred aimed his way now. But I'm guessing you were one of the people suggesting we should get rid, and play Ephraim instead? |

4. He's got Zamora in his ear offering some unwelcome advice....I'm cool with that Man City incident anyway, I stopped caring about it by the end of that day, so really struggle to get annoyed about it now.
Look, Barton's definitely a bit of a cnt (aren't we all) but I still think he gets a ridiculously bad rap on here, certainly as a footballer. A very good, if not top championship player, for Newcastle, Us and Burnley. Bit shit in the Premier League in a side of dossers, which isn't really his fault IMO. Could he have been a better teammate? Probably. I'm more annoyed with him for the Red vs Norwich, that was an important game and it felt like he threw that one away, silly. And being such a big part of getting rid of Warnock is slightly unforgivable. But he left Burnley with a good rep (Think he even went back after Rangers?) and the type of "Team" players we all loved previously - Derry, Hill, Mackie - Were firmly in Barton's camp. And at some point, Fernandes has to be held accountable for all of it. It was his money. His decisions. |

Borrowdale seemed to hang around for ages I thought, for a player we paid decent money for and barely ever saw
Ephraim and Ramage were both fine, but Ephraim got several deals while not playing and Ramage got a new deal following promotion in 2011 but wasn't playing much and I can't recall him playing in the prem |

Yeah because Samba Diakite and Jermaine Jenas would have got us up that season, wouldn't they?
I was highly cynical of Barton at the time - Of course I was, I read this website - But with hindsight I really don't think was anywhere near as bad as people make out |

Context context context. The club was paying all kinds of money to all kinds of losers around that time. I don't think Barton was any more badly overpaid than SWP, The Ferdinands (Take your pick) Luke Young, Loic Remy, Chris Samba, Granero, Vargas etc. Every single one of them had Uncle Tone's pants down. Simple as that.
As for the disruptive force. You could argue Marti Cifuentes has been our disruptive force this season. Sometimes you need that. Maybe we could have done with that at the start of this season, rather than Ainsworth making excuses for them. We saw Chris Martin do a bit at the end of last. Someone has to do it at some stage. Jimmy Dunne bollocking Lucas Andersen just before he went off vs Leeds. About time people spoke up for themselves.
All the stuff he does now has nothing to do with QPR, so I don't think it's relevant....Like saying we should have kept Vinnie Jones on a bit longer cos he turned out to be good in Mean Machine [Post edited 14 May 13:44]

I'll get the popular ones out the way, Lee Cook, Gareth Ainsworth, Martin Rowlands, Dan Shittu....All had stopped playing a long time before their final contracts expired, all seemed pretty much done as Championship level players by that time as well. Ainsworth you can argue was involved behind the scenes. Cook and Shittu should probably have never come back really. Lessons learned.....Or maybe not. Adel Taarabt? Left in the end for nothing....Should we have cashed in at some stage before that?
Then there's the Peter Ramage, Hogan Ephraim, Gary Borrowdale class who were never very good and got moved aside by new signings, and saw out their contracts, club perhaps should've had get out clauses in place - Did we learn from that?
Then there's the Andrew Johnson, Bobby Zamora Injury prone types and the Nedum Onouha, Park Ji-Sung, Junior Hoilett flatter-to-deceive types, who IMO sit somewhere between the last lot and the next....
Next is the piss-taker class.....Steven Caulker, Leroy Fer, Luke Young, Jack Robinson, Sandro, Armand Traore, SWP, Kieron fcking Dyer (Who we signed for 1 year, watched get injured after 4 minutes, and gave another year to) - In a proper organization, these people would've been kicked out, dismissed.
I don't think Barton makes even the top 20 in my time, so amazed that he does with people who can remember the 90's decline with Ned Zelic and all that. I don't think he was in the piss taker class (What I gather is he was very much in with the Hills and Derrys), I don't think he was very good either, but I do think we were a better team with him in it. MOTM in the play off Semi home to Wigan, one of our better players throughout that season. Even Clive, who I think would admit has a strong dislike of Barton, gave him 6 MOTM awards in his final season (relegated) with us. Goes to Burnley, wins another promotion and their POTY while we're pissing around with Chris Ramsey as Head Coach and Onouha as the Captain, both apparently too afraid to speak up and call out the piss takers. Terminal decline ensues. |

Mutilating children's bodies in the name of Healthcare = OK
Criticizing medics who offer such treatments to children suffering from body issues = Not OK
That is your view.
So yes, of course, I have a different view. |

Are her internal family battles QPR's problem? I don't think so - Just as mine aren't
Is it inaccessible through exclusion, or non-participation? Evidence, for those who can still be bothered with it, suggests the latter. The idea football excludes anybody that is "good enough" is kind of absurd. |

10 years. 6 Job titles. Head coach. Technical Director. Scout. Everything in between. All he's got to show for it is a kid who was passed upon by Arsenal and Millwall. And 1 relegation at the very start. To have only just been kicked out is a very lucky innings IMO, he's got the long shadow of Sir Les to thank for it.
Paul Hall gave Dillon Barnes an International cap for Jamaica. A country with its own domestic league full of goalkeepers who would love to play for the National team, potentially earning a move to MLS or Mexico. Naaaaah, come on Dillon, this'll be some jolly my old son. I'm biased in Halls favour, I remember him playing, I want him to do well, but at some point you have to ask....Wtf is going on?
Andy Impey should've been in the position Manisha Tailor was, or Furs is maybe an even better shout, but we're not a serious football club. So we just do/did whatever Chris Ramsey said. You should be happy that it's finally coming to an end. |

Not offended but it is all a bit abstract in my opinion. Are you suggesting that we're selling out games now because we're a more diverse football club? That ethnic minority West London residents spent all of the 90s, 00s, 10s waiting for us to hire somebody from their community as an Academy coach? And now we have they're all trying to get tickets? I find that pretty difficult to believe myself. Did they miss Zesh Rehman? |

Let's put it this way. We're all gradually reaching the conclusion that Chris Ramsey was a waste of space. Incompetent. A charlatan.
Manisha was brought in by Chris Ramsey, from the school of Chris Ramsey, for the benefit of Chris Ramsey. Promoted by Chris Ramsey, and potentially getting her new job in part because of Chris Ramsey's involvement in her career development
But because she's an EDI unicorn, on this website, we're all going to pretend we've just lost Pep Guardiola's understudy, not Chris Ramsey's. |
