Well said, Brian.
While the first third of the season has undoubtedly given us much to be hopeful of and believe in - and for the first time in years - I think the reality is: we're not as strong as we probably need to be, but then again, we're not as weak as we have been! I think for us: it's one game at a time until March albeit that by year's end, the January TW could be huge in terms of incomings if we're still in the race and, given the model, outgoings too.
How well we're doing is evidenced by the facts of: the continuing absences and seeming inability to really get Buzz, Chair, and Mads back and fully fit; JCS seems to be under nursing procedures again (and we don't trust Morrison); we've had a bit of fortune with Adamson stepping up in the absences of Tariq and Mbengue; the Oompah Lumpahs continue to have question marks over them; plenty not sure about HV and JV; and in Kone, a poor player who will, nonetheless, stick it in the net when fed.
So, for me, it's all progress, and if making the POs is within our power come 1 March, then we really need to go for it, although I'm already thinking next summer's TW could be the really big one.
Continuing concerns about our medico/rehab set-up aside, I think we've had an excellent season. At times, we've played some wonderful stuff, and even in our two wallopings, we had spells where we maybe should have capitalised on our play and our own errors maybe cost us more than beig outclassed.
We're doing bloody well all things considered and for me, our hopes and belief just need to have the caveat of relism underpinning them. |

If you have to ask the question, then I suspect you won't understand the answer. |

I'm sure the Sunday papers will have a field day tomorrow about Brand. And, depending on certain legal proceedings Monday, we might expect Tuesday to have revalations, as noted above, about his mate. |

In the midst of a fuel shortage, we drove over t'pennines t'Oakwell to see the Rangers. No other bugger on the road and we find a petrol station swimming in the stuff and no one buying it, despite the rest of the country pulling their hair out on rumours of a thimble full on sale miles away.
Bearing in mind I was with him, his piece on it a week later, utterly hilarious. |

As with all these things of this nature,it comes down to simple questions:
What was known/suspected?
Who knew about it?
When did they know about it?
What did they do once they knew about it?
The answers are invariably: Plenty. Many. Early. Nothing. |

100% agree on Razor. I'd even go as far as to give a mention to Vincenzo Jones!!
Sat on the bus taking us from the Britannia back to the station for onward return to Manchester, after an utterly abject display, relegation was inevitable at that point. 'You know who we need?' asked someone and a chap called Ant Hobbs and myself threw two names into the mix.
Christ alive, but at the McAlpine a week later, there were Messrs Jones and Ruddock in the Starting XI, and with it, a totally different QPR!
I know, I know, be careful what you wish for, and if we'd known Aladdin was on the bus beside us a week earlier, we'd have chosen Stam and Vieira instead. My bad. |

Two issues, currently.
1. Also saying it among my Rs' chums on our WhatsApp group, all season: Put. Your. F..king. Laces. Through. It...usually at Vale.
2. Need for that bloke in Spain, Astroboy_R I think his name is, to leave his secluded island, and start doing the Freds again. |

Again, Kone's touch and control were bloody awful last night. Frankly, at 23, you can't teach this stuff so I remain of the view that he has three jobs: keep fit; bash up the oppo's CHs a bit; and just goal hang, because despite it all, he can finish.
Now, as for 'The Mystery' in just a short cameo, he looked more mobile and seemed to have a better touch than Kone; which isn't difficult! Maybe if he'd been on earlier he might have been more up to speed to take that chance, but he's certainly worth giving minutes, and when we were cruising against Derby and Swansea and maybe going nowhere at Brum and Soton, thise might have been opportunities to give him a run out. |

Hopefully, all the doom merchants won't be proved right with all this Y3K nonsense.

You'd take 7-0 now! Surely?
Always love watching Clive Allen's reaction after Roeder's goal at the end. He'd fluffed a chance for his hattrick, and looks gutted. Great goalscorer andthat aside, frequently a scorer of great goals. |

Not so much a random thing, nor an irritant. Rather, its become a regular annoyance. Hacking!
Supermarket freezers in several European countries have been hacked again, resulting in millions of Euros of food being discarded. Why you need effing freezers on the web, I don't know, but there you have it. |

Rwminds me of a story I heard about Jason McAteer that while ridiculous, arguably paints him in a favourable light.
JM was one of the first people to get a Porsche Boxster in the north west. First Sunday, he drives out to see his mates' team play, which he always did without fail, when not playing himself. After the game he'd take their kit and flags back to Liverpool to clean but on this particular Sunday, he couldn't get them into the Porsche.
Two weeks later, he rocks up in a new 4x4. When asked what had happened to the Porsche, he purportedly replied, 'I couldn't get the kit and flags in to it, so I thought I'd buy this!' |

A poster called Galileo, questioning the appropriateness of a Spurs win against Chelsea being on a 'history' exam paper.
If that's not utterly priceless and worth the admission fee on its own, then I 'kin don't what is! |
