Made me laugh this.

Never forget that those Tuesdays finished second in the third division.

46th best team in the country.

 

Can't wait until they are averaging 16k again in mid table Champ as per usual

Just having a read of the QPR forum.

Quote

The five of them were stationed around the centre-piece star boy Alex Scott, a 19-year-old kid so far and above the standard of this match that he didn’t even have to pad up and pull his socks up to play in it. City played into, off, through and around him with mesmeric, comfortable ease in something crunching between second and third gear. A beautiful footballer, so obviously destined for bigger and better things, I could have happily sat and watched him glide around all afternoon and, such was QPR’s pathetically impassive approach to dealing with him and his team mates, that’s essentially what I got to do.

Looks like it's gonna be Wolves then.

Why is it?

I haven’t read anywhere which states Wolves lead the race. 
 

Personally, he can do better than Wolves. Do not think it’s a club that suits him. For the sake of his own career and progression. Hopefully Brighton lead the way.

He would probably get a regular game with Wolves though so might not be the worse.

Love the comment about Chris Martin being a vast land mass. 

Marvellous:

And apt, finally, because it was against Bristol City. QPR did an hour here with Chris Martin up front, and only took him off when they did because if a land mass this vast stays this sedentary for this long you run the risk of somebody colonising it and holding elections.

To be fair, this is one of the most enjoyable reads I've had for a while.

Not just the result and description of our performance but found myself chuckling all the way through.

I'd like the author added to our summer transfer targets!

Consistently one of the best sites, certainly for match previews and reports.

Yep, very enjoyable. 

I was going to post a thread about it on it's own but just decided to stick it in here in regards to the Scott comment. Article very complimentary of us throughout.

Agree.

Accurate, humorous and written with the passion of a real fan.

Think they’re where we were 5 years ago. Pity their supporters, apart from the ****hole with our flag. It’s a long old haul back to becoming average -with potential - again.  

Excellent 10/10. Top of the class.

Liked this bit.

A “lap of appreciation” featuring all the stars of the year gone by saw Taylor Richards’ mum surpass her son’s pitch time at Loftus Road this season.

That's a tricky decision for Alex  - Wolves, Spurs, Brighton, Newcastle or Liverpool with premier league and even European football, or Ipswich in the championship? If ever you wanted the definition of a "no brainer decision" this is it.

P.S. As for Ipswich Mark Ashton having money to spend, I thought that Wonga went out of business some time ago.

This has been posted before but well worth posting again given the hilarious, Gas levels of delusion.

Ben Fisher said on the Guardian Football Weekly podcast yesterday that every Premier League club wants a piece of Alex. An overstatement perhaps but there has been so much media talk about him you'd think even someone in deepest Suffolk would have noticed.

Still, credit where it's due, £25m is indeed upwards of £5m!

I do actually have an independent source, which I can’t disclose ? I wouldn’t blame you for disbelieving a stranger on the internet though.

I think Ipswich fans are about to find out the cost of players in the Champ and the pecking order.

They have some decent players don’t get me wrong, but they’ve recruited “the best for Lg1”, I’m not sure I see the plan for once they got up.

If I compare to Cotts / Burt, it was young, hungry players who they thought could step-up.

They've got several players signed since last summer who they’ve had to send out on loan, that they’ll need to find homes for to balance out the ins / outs.

Even though I hugely under-estimated Sunderland last summer, I don’t see a Stewart / Simms front line, capable of taking pressure off their back-line.

Looking forward to seeing their retained list.

But Ashton loves to “trade”…let’s watch the wage bill and amortisation grow and grow!

I don't believe you really want to end up as dumb as a brick.

I assume that's what Ketamine does to you, and vow that any 'Special K' I take in future will be served in a bowl with milk.

But on the other hand, following the logic through, we should be able to pick up Bellingham for under £20m. Genius.
