It's honestly no dig at you mate - page 3 of that thread I've made a similar similie about the treatment room and got a volley - fair play, I was being facetious. And a bit of a snarky cùnt. Again, not your problem |

They don't think our injuries have been that bad? We have professional athletes in a sport that requires aerobic and anaerobic conditioning who are gassed after 25mins of jogging. Do these people not think anyone else has fùcking eyes? |

It wants to be individual balloons as if you think I'm putting my balloon knot anywhere near a giant communal balloon knot, I'll have to disappoint you. |

Reply | More injuries and home woes for QPR against form Swans – Report
at 22:18 22 Apr 2025
I used to think statements like "...no situation that cannot be turned into a pass back to Paul Nardi" were a bit OTT until yesterday.
Then we got a corner toward the end of the first half that was half-cleared out to Ashby 10yards inside their half who did Swansea a solid by completely clearing it back to Nardi. It's anatomically impossible for me to stamp on my own bolloçks (for now, give it a decade and we'll see) but I came close to it on Monday. |

I was at Brentford v Brighton on Saturday (free tix) and on that game it's hard to see how Brighton are 10th. They ended up taking Wellbeck off and then took a page straight out of the Ian Holloway school of game management by putting their gigantor centre-back up front and cannoning long balls up to him. |

I think the current squad is a lot weaker than the squad that first Gerry and then Ollie failed to keep in this division in 2000/01 so relatively speaking 'prevented relegation’ is no mean achievement.
I completely agree with your concerns around whether or not there is any coherent succession planning for when Marti leaves because for me those mid-table finishes become relegation battles and invariably, relegation.
It's been said a hundred times here but we've changed managers, players, squads and backroom structures (often to accommodate a manager that's gone a season later) and we're seemingly no closer to the solution. The one opportunity we had to effect real organisational change when Les resigned and Hoos checked out - the cleansing of the Augean stables - we allowed Nourry to appoint himself to both roles.
The only thing left to change is the ownership and that will require a significant initial investment, an annual £25m infusion just to stand still and absolutely no guarantee of success. |

I’m not sure others will look at his time here as successful enough to try and tempt him away with a better offer.
I don't claim to be ITK or anything but I can easily envisage people "inside" football thinking anyone who has QPR even flying level is doing a fantastic job because anything less than a strong manager and we tend to very easily tip over into a screaming dive into the mountains. |

For the record, Madsen reminds me of Steve Slade - undoubtedly talented but with the competitive aggression of a mouse.
A bit beside the point though. How we can have a dozen or so posts thinking he was OK until he "tired" or "faded" or "ran out of engine" is in any way acceptable baffles me. He's a fùcking professional athlete in a cardiovascular sport. I'm 50, smoked for 20yrs and am at least 2 stone overweight but I'd do that cùnt in a bleep test.
It's been said a million times and we've got a treatment room like a field hospital in the Somme to prove it but if we sleep-walk into next season with a fitness team literally phoning it in, we might as well not bother. |

Nor would you be entirely disappointed if your daughter bought him home, the loveable little scamp. |

Hot nonsense. Varane summed us up when he'd won several 50/50s through strength, tenacity and skill only to forego a simple ball to his fullback in favour of chipping his centre-back with a shin-bobbler to Nardi that got hacked straight to the nearest Oxford player. Honk honk! |
