Isn't Turkey covered by Astra 1A still?
(Sky use this satellite for their linear channels)
I reckon you'll find a bar showing the UK Sky feed somewhere...
Otherwise it should be on the QPR+ for a tenner

I found The Bear painful to watch
Yeah, the acting was good, but...
They obviously researched the cooking part, but other aspects were so wrong...
Putting up some plasterboard walls is not a ball ache
Fixing an old arcade machine is not a dark art
The whole premise of the programme is
"will they make the sandwich?"
Calling Richie "Cousin" all the time got on my Hampton.
In the real world no-one would tolerate him
It was just OK... |

I've owned driven ICE, PHEV and EV
I have to say that as a main car the PHEV was a big compromise.
We had the BMW 2 series one, which was heavy.
Performance is nice, but realistically it had a small fuel tank for the ICE and small batteries for the EV, so it was the worst of both worlds.
Although I remember that during COVID we went ages without going to a petrol station, so maybe not as bad as I recall.
If you can I'd go full EV.
We've got solar panels and always charge at home with a 32a wallbox.
Chargers out and about are premium £££, but I guess still cheaper than buying pertrol! |

When did we start calling a save a missed penalty?
I always thought a miss, was a shot off target, like Kerry Dixon's |

They will spend a lot more on maintenance in the Prem.
But basically all PL have the same DESSIO system of synthetic fibres woven amongst real grass.
We've got the undersoil heating, lamps and sprinklers, so I think its on par.
It's funny though, we've always had the skidmarks down the line next to Ellerslie as long as I can remember, is it the shape of the roof? |

Do you really believe that?
I think its a couple of factors.
1). Insurance companies are greedy
2). There are millions of uninsured drivers on the road now
3). The Police don't have the bandwidth to crack down on it, and from what I've seen when they do catch a repeat offender its a small fine and points on a licence they don't even have ;D
I used to drive a car with Halogen headlamps that were £700 ea at the time.
If I'd had a crash and broke them the car would have been written off!
Insurance is a scam for the vast majority of us who never have to use it, but still pay for it |

I know Hoos said it at the Fans Forum (when we were flying under Beale), but does anyone believe that we turned down any large bids for our "top" players?
I reckon if anyone came in with anything good +£5m for anyone then we would have sold tout suite! |

From listening to "Undr The Cosh" and other things with ex-players those extra years are usually with a payrise.
So, say Jimmy Dunne is on £12k p/w then the extra year might be £15k, which could make him a very highly paid L1 defender.
If the club thinks that the extra year means they can sell the player for more, does this actually work?
Once Jimmy Dunne is a L1 defender is he worth more than a Champ defender?
Especially if he's on that bigger wage!
You'll just end up with another Willock situation with a footballer seeing out the last year, playing at 75% commitment, so they don't et injured |

I think the Richards debacle is a great example.
As I understand we were one of several clubs in for him and he was being hyped up.
It's a massive gamble in the Champ. He might have been the next £20m Eze.
The trouble is, like with Mac Bonne, the way the contracts are structured if you can agree a pay off with the player, or find another club silly enough to inherit the contract, then you are stuck with it.
But, when you are constantly firefighting relegation (or having a pop at promotion) then there is no real strategy. I guess it gets exacerbated when an agent creates some "demand" for their player and clubs offer increasing silly contracts out to prospect players |

The Club would be insane to sign up any new contracts while they don't know what league they will be in.
Unless, those players are willing to sign up to new terms if we got relegated.
Which is different to the standard contract structure, where the wages increase ea season...
I don't mind not knowing about contract lengths.
--None of my business is it really...
Just as long as those in charge are making sensible decisions I'm happy.
Although experience has shown that we are not great in this regard, are we? ;p |

My Grandad was mates with Les Boyle.
At the time he was the caretaker at the training ground, might have been the Twyford one? (Wasp time)
Anyway he told us a story about Steve Slade faking a break-in in the changing room for an insurance claim up on a watch
Nearly got Les in trouble about not locking up etc...
I think Kev Gallen backed up the story years later? |

The answer will always be Joey Barton.
Signed in a rush with no due diligence. In return for a long contract and being overpaid we were rewarded with disruptive behaviour, poor fitness, terrible set pieces, bang average talent and some of the most mindless behaviour in one of the most important matches ever witnessed.
An absolute embarrassment of a Human.
QPR could only top it by signing John Terry |

Thread | Eze contract?
at 17:04 2 Nov 2023
It’s sort of public knowledge that QPR would get a big percentage of any fee if Eze is sold.
But, does this get reset if he signs a new contract with Palace?
At the moment he could run his time down with them and leave on the cheap, so I can’t work out what’s best for the club
Obviously I think Eze can play at a higher level, but I’d hat to see him move to a basket case club like Man U or Chelsea and not play every week
Anyone know any details on how it works? |
