dragpeace We're here from the States for the holidays and went to the last three matches (I'm a lifelong RFC supporter who grew up going to Elm Park every other week, but moved to the USA in the 80s - Steve Death is still my favorite Royal!). As we don't leave until tomorrow, we also went to today's QPR-Liverpool match. The difference between the teams and supporters was marked, and it made me proud to be a Royal. The QPR players clearly had more athleticism and quality than the Reading players, but their play as a team was appalling. After Liverpool's 2nd, the players were arguing, and the supporters were yelling insults. The effort on the pitch was pitiful, and the level of gloom and frustration palpable. It was a tremendous contrast from our two games at the Mad Stad (and the game at Man City), where I felt the players were giving their all, and the supporters were backing them up.
Prior to this trip, I thought we were doomed and QPR had too much quality to go down. I'm now convinced QPR is going down, and that we have a chance to stay up, although we have a lot to do.

It must be good for you to see some real sport again for a change! I could never live outside of europe because the sports are so shit, but the USA is worst of all! Good to have you back buddy, even if it's for two games. The difference between quarter pound of rubbish and us is that we have a good set up and good manager, none of which are egomaniacs.

TheSiege A side issue;- QPR have a shedload of decent players and they currently appear to be mis-using most of them whilst the few on the pitch fail to gell as a team. Knowing Harry's penchant for moving players on and bringing others in, is there a bargain there waiting for us? One or two of their better players might do very well in a team that plays like a team!
