In the interests of grim research, and as an antidote to those on here on think that a point in the bag because we have a couple of players missing justifies murdering the game of football (note the manager's scary delight in his post-match interview), I sifted all 23 pages of the match thread on the Stoke City Oatcake Fanzine for some sane balance. (As Nietzsche puts it, you keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.)
Suffice to say, some of the contributions evinced a measure of wit our so-called 'football team' were unable to dredge up in 100 minutes of death-by-football.
'What a horrible team to have to watch. Difficult to break down sure but dull as hell.'
'That is just straight up cheating from the keeper... No one anywhere near him, no twist or stretch, simply sat down so that the manager can have a team talk!'
'Was that a pre planned 20 minute break by QPR?'
'I now know why I don’t like QPR.'
'These lot have got no interest in playing football today. Time wasting, cheating, b*stards.'
'QPR are the only team I've ever seen that are looking to waste time even when in attacking situations.'
'QPR really are an absolute yeast infection of a football team.'
'Genuinely, ever since I was a kid they’ve always been shit, I’m amazed they’re even above League 2.'
'It’s no surprise that a side that has Rhys Norrington-Davies in the lineup are a bunch of clogging sh*thouse w*nkers.'
'The combination of QPR and the ref have made this game almost impossible to watch.'
'Is there a QPR player yet to spend time on his backside "injured"?'
'Someone ought to start a chant of you’re just a sh*t f*cking Millwall.'
'These lot are an absolute disgrace.'
'It's football, but not as we know it.'
'Hope all of QPR’s squad get syphilis. (Harsh on syphillis, wishing it on them.)'
'But that would mean they'd at least get a shag. Maybe typhoid or dysentry?'
'Negative, dire, cynical, turgid sh*tball from QPR.'
'I worry about QPR as a going concern cos who the hell is going to keep buying tickets to watch this sh*t?'
'I wouldn't pay a penny to watch QPR, shocking football team.'
'A textbook anti-football team.'
'That's the first side all season to sit like that all match versus us.'
'QPR, I don't know what they call their style, but it isn't football. Mostly chippy cheap shots then flop and whine in front of a parked bus.'
'If you’re a QPR fan you would be totally embarrassed at that performance.'
'I imagine their team coach will go home in reverse.'
And there you have it, people! If you're a QPR fan and that doesn't make you put your head in your hands for the rest of the weekend, I don't know what to say to you. As the usual suspects on here love to cluster together and tell me why I need to listen to the self-appointed consensus of 'adults in the room' because, apparently, I'm delusional if I don't, I'm sure they'll be only too pleased to apply the same logic here. Hell might be other people, but, as I've been told, when other people (and especially, of all people, Stoke fans, who've hardly been reared on Barcaball) are telling you you're a stain on the game, it's time to wake up and see the bigger picture.
Stoke weren't much cop, for sure, but at least if they'd won 3-1 as they still deserved to, we might have been spared the toe-curling post-match bullshit about our 'resilience'. Personally, on aesthetic grounds (newsflash - football is entertainment), I'd rather we sink down the table into League One playing 'football' like that. (For the same reason, I still feel hurt to this day that the team that played all the football in the 1982 FA Cup Replay didn't win.)
In the end, those who have minds of their own can decide for themselves. A revolt into style or the wretched 'means justify the end'? Points at all cost or the beautiful game? Cynicism or idealism? Whose side are you on? (I'm on QPR's a close second, but football's first.)
Here's my view: After yesterday, JS can shove a baguette where the sun don't shine! And if the owners don't agree, they can choke on merde too.
PS For those attending on Tuesday, I'm sure the Oxford game is going to be a footballing feast!

Wow this poster is clearly the most important on here by some distance.
In their mind, of course. |  |

Bizarre! Try dealing with the points I raise rather than fantasising about my ego.
Alternatively, if you don't like discussion on a public messageboard designed for that purpose, why not, say, join a library? | |

But you’re not raising a single point that anyone can discuss or debate. The summary of your “points” seem to be 1) we are rubbish 2) we are boring 3) the manager moans too much. Your solution is to 1) pass it to each other more and 2) score more goals. How on earth is that a debate or discussion? If anyone calls you out on this bizarre logic of yours we are idiots and we’re mugs for going to Oxford. You don’t mention a change of formation or certain players who should be playing or even we should get this manager because we’d be playing like Brazil before the week is out. |  | | |

Qpr trolled the entire Stoke fan base.
I put it down to QPR being QPR.

And you're a poisonous excuse of a poster, so I think that makes us quits. I 'don't matter', eh? What a sorry piece of work you are! [Post edited 18 Jan 22:14]

You dont matter, or your opinions. Get over yourself.
Admit it, you just enjoy trolling this board.
Im actually enjoying this season. This team are giving it all they've got.
I really enjoyed watching the West Ham game with 9000 of our wonderful fans, and I especially enjoyed celebrating the goal with my 17 year son , who loves QPR.
He hasn't been dealt a good hand with his health, so moments like that ,I cherish.
So f@ck you and shove your f@king opinions up your arse, you cretin. |  |

Including at Millwall for the 2nd leg of the league cup tie,but I can’t remember if TV was the manager then. |
That was Jim Smith. |  |

I'm not as condemnatory (oo, get 'im), after all, as I used to tell Sir John Gielgud, “art is not a mirror, it is a hammer”
