To me Chair’s the obvious if not ideal Madsen replacement - if he’s fit. He’ll happily pick the ball up from the defence, not lose it and look forwards.
Happy new year Clive and thanks for another stellar year of sparkling prose |

Comment | Chaotic team selection, chaotic outcome as R's slip at West Brom - Report
by Myke at 19:55:13
Thanks Clive. I got pretty upset b the Portsmouth performance, because I thought they wouldn’t dare play like that again after Leicester. But I have given up on them again so all’s good . Plus we have a manager who seems complicit in allowing them sack off ‘bonus’ games a la Rednapp. I’m afraid anyone who is seriously expecting them to ‘pile into West Ham’ is going to be sorely disappointed. Happy New Year to you and all. |

You absolute swine. I lived in tooting for a few years two decades ago, and that paragraph brought all those memories of the northern line flooding back like it was yesterday. I had thought to confine that miserable and get highly predictable experience to be something never to be spoken or thought of again. Much like this game. |

Comment | We stood there laughing
by hixepeg940 at 21:37:47
The match against Stoke in 2007 was a 1-1 draw. We held on with ten men after Timoska's red goal. Referee Kettle dealt a terrible hand, but a point saved us from relegation. The relief was overwhelming. After the final whistle, I was in shock from the season, my finances at zero after buying tickets and traveling. I decided to take a chance and buy Litecoin as a quick cushion. I chose https://paybis.com/buy-litecoi . Instant card purchases, no verification required at the start. Now my LTC is growing, just like our confidence heading into the new season! |

Comment | A win - Report
by nesteroid at 14:49:13
The callback really pulled us out of that shaky start, and as soon as the team realized that Millwall could be pressed, Daiks suddenly started looking way more useful as a “number ten” than in the box. This win is more about relief than joy, but without these points before Huddersfield, everything would’ve just sunk completely. And yeah, the casino spam popped up in the thread again, I’m already pissed off that under these match reports people keep dropping links to https://nodepositbonuses.ng/fr when I just want to talk football, not someone’s “free spins.” Hope this becomes a turning point, not just a one-off flash in the middle of all the hopelessness. |

Comment | QPR look to conquer away jitters at restless West Brom - Preview
by TacticalR at 14:36:24
Thanks for your preview.
It's only 3 weeks since we last played West Brom. At the time both teams were on 25 points. Since then a bit of daylight has opened up (West Brom are now on 28 points and we are now on 35 points). If you wanted to be ultra-optimistic, you could say that we are only a win away from 3rd place (Ipswich on 38 points). However, this division has a habit of putting you in your place whenever you start looking up the table. |

cool preview, especially the bit about ceefax/teletext — instantly brought back memories of waiting for the page to scroll, just to see if we got hit in the last minutes. spot on about how teams like huddersfield often suffocate us with that high press, three in the middle, and without hogg they might be half a step weaker at it. main thing is not to get stuck in that endless back pass to dieng/dickie, but to find chair between the lines quicker. and yeah, already seeing trash casino spam in the comments, saw a link https://nodepositbonuses.co.ke . hope there’ll be less pointless noise and more meaning on the pitch today. |

Comment | Roy Wegerle's goal of the season - History
by nesteroid at 14:16:44
this is exactly why I love loft for words: after 0:2 the story unfolds in such a way that you already see that slalom from wegnerle between six players and the shot into the corner. I especially like the detail that even elland road applauded—a rare moment of respect. was looking for a highlight of that goal and on the way got hit by an annoying banner with free spins, which dragged me to https://no-deposit-bonuses.co. and that killed the vibe even more than leeds’ penalty hitting the crossbar. but the match itself is still a reminder that one player can turn the whole evening around. |

Comment | Day’s super save, Rowly’s injury time spectacular – History
by nesteroid at 13:47:07
The memory of Chris Day’s save and Rowlands’ run in the 90th minute is pure adrenaline, that’s exactly why you go to away games. Funny how by the end of the article there’s casino spam again, feels like a stupid red card out of nowhere. I once checked out https://nodepositau.com/free-c just to see what this “free cash” no deposit thing even means, and quickly realized I’m way more into the nerves of a match than these bonuses. Really hoping on Saturday we’ll have our own “Day” in goal again and someone will push through in added time like that. |

cool report, really feels like we have a timer set for the 89th minute against derby and then everything just becomes inevitable. liked that chair came alive on the left again, and dykes wasn’t just fighting but actually found amos for the goal. only thing, while reading, some annoying thing from https://nodepositbonusesca.com popped up and I lost the thread about “jumping the shark” for a sec, now that’s an extra plot twist. feel kinda bad for derby, but can’t shake the thought about the consequences of their financial tricks. even if we don’t make the playoffs, at least with legs like this and that kind of energy it’s way more fun to watch |

Comment | Dunne rescues QPR from more Boxing Day blues – Report
by Geoff78 at 20:43:53
Poor first half but not abysmal, better second half but not great. It shows what Julien says about needing 100%. A drop off of 20% (?) in the first half and maybe 5% (?) in the second. We can do better, but we are doing so much better than recent years. As Ben Stokes said top sportsmen sometimes deserve a bit of empathy. Our lot aren't 'top' sportsmen, but they are mostly young men playing at a level higher than they've done before and we need to be patient with our expectations. |

No need to apologise at all. You are regularly throwing out two or three thousand word pieces and I throw back a few hundred, like I’m the only view that matters. But at least I did refrain from criticising your player ratings |

Everybody simply doing their jobs is all, Clive. Which the players clearly weren't and Dunne admitted as much post match. Sorry if you felt I was questioning the quality of your writing which clearly wasn't my intention, just the leniency of our performance. Again just as with the 'three games in a week rhetoric' I simply don't buy into ' the busy Christmas schedule' as an excuse for not being arsed at Portsmouth like it's something new or we are the only team that has to do it. I said after the magnificent performance at Leicester that we never need to accept 'Norwich' performances again and then they serve one up in the very next game. We cannot control form anyone can have an off day in any walk of life but we can control effort and there was precious little on display at Portsmouth. |

Myke, if I gave the impression I was happy with that game, I'm sorry. I'll armour up a bit more next time.
I think at this time of year it's important to remember you're asking young lads to do four games in a week over Christmas. Two at home, two away, down to Portsmouth, up to Birmingham, back round again. Recovery, rinse, repeat. It's nuts, what we ask of the players in this period. Absolutely nobody needs that West Brom game on the 29th, and even fewer than that need a 1230 kick off against Norwich on New Year's Day. Massive overspill, overkill of mediocre football from tired, tired players.
That goes for match reporters too. Do you think I wanted to spend today writing this report? Rather generous, was it? You're lucky it wasn't written in crayon. |

Cheers Clive. I agree with your first half summary, but feel your take on the second half rather generous. We improved marginally (we could hardly have deteriorated) and moved the dial just enough to equalise fairly early on against a very poor Portsmouth side, shorn of their best player (although Blair did a passable job of impersonating him first half). I’m thinking at this point, ‘okay forget the first half, 3-1 victory and all is forgiven’. Instead we looked slightly interested in actually imposing ourselves on the game, for the next ten or fifteen minutes. Poke game on and was an immediate upgrade on Dembele (he could hardly have been a downgrade) although has an annoying habit of just keep running until he gets dispossessed or runs out of pitch - hopefully just inexperience at a higher level. Smyth came on for Saito and surprisingly made little impression at either end of the pitch, which rather debunks your theory (that I agree with) that he should have started. In the end, rather embarrassingly, we were hanging on, as a series of schoolboy errors, applied completely unnecessary pressure on our box. I was relieved when the final whistle went, which says it all.
I’ve seen it said on the message board that JCS was sorely missed, and there is no doubt that the balance he gives the side on the left, benefits both RND and whoever plays in front of him. But he hasn’t played enough (or well enough, bar Leicester) to be a loss to the side in the sense that we are missing something new or for the first time. For me, the player we missed the most was Chair. His ability to keep possession, his work-rate and his ability to bring others into play - we missed him on the left side far more than the (n)ever present JCS. |
