To be honest in Formula 1 having the best car normally means you've spent the most money as well, even if you've spent more than you legally should (cough, allegedly, Red Bull etc...)
This deal concerns as me as potentially being what kills me off having my season ticket which I've had for the last 25 years. If we end up with so many games moved that I can't get to then that'll have to be it for me, otherwise I'm spending money on my ticket for literally nothing. Have to see what the future holds.
I dont think its just Alexa, I think all our devices are listening to us (or watching our keystrokes) as I can have conversations on WhatsApp/Messenger etc then get targeted ads too.
Never let the football ruin the day at the football, as Danny Baker once said.
I think DaveB puts its best though - you can't match the high and low without the emotional investment and its the highs that make us do it, over and over and over..
If you ever want to see what it looks like when a football team collectively sh*ts itself, just watch us on Saturday. Absolute debacle.
Sheffield Wednesday weren't much good, but they were fast, physical and aggressive and played like a team that knew they had to win. Our team seemed to spend as much time as they could running away from the nasty big men on the other team because they didn't want to get hurt. Which in the case of Willock and holding out hope someone out there will give him that £40k a week contract is probably true.
Then Armstrong annoyed the hell out of me with the constant banging his fists on the turf after he's fell over in a breath of wind again like an angry toddler who's just been told no screaming about how unfair life is.
Defensively we were largely OK other than that one stupid mistake for their goal and the second was just a typical sucker punch that wouldn't have happened if it was still 0-0.
All four of our attacking players though were utterly pathetic.
Noticed Colback sitting behind the dugouts spending most of the game looking down, presumably at his phone. Either disinterested or one of those who just can't watch when he's not involved.
Was really, really annoyed on Saturday, probably the worst I've seen under Marti so far.
I was too young for the first half of the 90s when we were a top flight side. My first game was as a 6 year old in March 1996 for Southampton at home in the Premier League, the year we got relegated. We did win that one 3-0 though.
Didnt Gary Doyle end up getting the nickname of "Cat" because Gerry Francis tricked him into thinking he'd have to don the suit for his first away game as QPR's kit manager, or is that one of those urban legends?
NB - if the guy who is in the suit has gone, I'm sure Jude himself will still be around, just with some other person in the suit. To be fair I'd do it - I did T20 Finals Day in 2022 as Leicestershire's Charlie Fox and I don't think I've ever had quite so much fun in one afternoon.
Agree, he's not going to get picked up by someone off the back of 6 good months at QPR.
I was thinking yesterday whether someone like Sunderland would try and poach him as they look to get over their own Mick Beale disaster but to be honest, they might have a bigger stadium, but I think London will have a bigger pull over someone like Marti than being miles away from everywhere in the north east.
He's done a magnificent job, but I think the four January signings have transformed this team.
Andersen and Hayden have had an enormous impact - Anderson is on a few assists now and Hayden is a monster of a midfielder and both of them ability wise are huge upgrades on what we had before.
Frey and Hodge perhaps not quite had the same impact but they've added excellently to the depth of the squad, and Hodge is still better than Dozzell and Frey is an extra striker who has still given us a better presence up front at times.
I think without those four we'd still be struggling to stay above the dotted line, simply because the team wouldn't be anywhere near as strong.
BUT...I do think Cifuentes has been marvellous. Hope he's able to push us on next year, but we're not quite safe yet!
Bit of recency bias that - you can't say a centre-back pairing for a team that is still in big danger of getting relegated (even if we are starting to feel a bit more hopeful of easing away!) is better than the defenders who got promoted from this league at a canter under Neil Warnock.
Not at this point anyway. Lets see in twelve months...
