Those QPR uniforms are shit.

Callum stayed on the pitch for a 5,000x worse challenge.

I just had a horrible flashback to the up and down of this thread.

Naw Bimp! Think of the ultra anguish on here and then we signed 5 players in a week, beat Villa and then beat Chelsea at home.

Crazy thing is, if we leave scoreless or 1-1 away, beat Fulham, our home tie will be pretty electric and its anyone's bet. Such is the rollercoaster that is our club

Couldn't agree more. This chopping and changing of managers in the past has probably been the reason why I've wanted this one to work out for us b/c I was genuinely thinking we'd have something here with AP after last season. But looking at themanupstairs & Cajun's comments above, they've summed this whole thing up pretty perfectly. As it pains me to say this b/c I really really wanted him to be a success here b/c it obviously would mean we'd be spending less time talking about him in here and be talking more about positive topics regarding our club.

Bimpy I'm with you, and have no problem with the man himself. I quite like his smugness and confidence (when he had it last season) but the results on the pitch are damning and we have far too much better going on from a recruitment and playing staff side to have his poor football, tactics, etc dragging us down.

This x infinity. If only Reading this thread, my opinion is swaying - I'm like 45 minutes from straight up turning on him for good Not even just waiting for the season to end.

7 PL match to go, 4 at home. Fulham, Mackems, Liverpool and Arsenal. Away at WBA, West Ham and QPR. I think (hope) we'll do it. I think there are 2 home wins and a tie. And hopefully 1 or 2 Villa-like away wins out of WBA, West Ham and QPR.

Just to throw this out there...I want this season to end with us being safely in the premier league and then I'll predict I will go full-on turn on him mode. I wonder if others are in the same boat too?

He needs to just shut his mouth and get the team ready to win some fucking matches.

Classic Ba -__-

Forgot you all were off today again too. Jealous. Again.

Agreed an anchor that allows Moussa to play up and down the pitch and play deeper and allows Yo to do what he does best. New CB, DM, Winger and Striker for me. Might be too much to ask for though.

Ack - sorry. Forgot about that and you're right. I just had this feeling had Santon been fit, we'd have seen Jonas up there wide right which again is not the place or person to play there. But my bad for not making that clear.

Yep - which is why I brought that up. Seemingly if Tiote isn't getting back to his best I'd like for us to go and sign someone young, with size and strength and be there to either play next to Yohan deep or we eventually see Sissoko and a new DCM back there with Cabaye pushed further up field or playing in a deep lying playmaker role. ----Yo---- DM--Mou or ---DM--- Yo---Mou or Yo---DM -Moussa-

I try really hard to not lash this guy - but he was fucking awful, and I'd rather have seen someone play out of position there.

Best mates with Cabaye so entirely possible, plus he's not exactly the massive high profile player who would demand to start every game like Sakho would for example. While on the discussion of Lille players, i like Payet as well personally. If we're on the topic of French players, whats your take on Etienne Capoue, Mole?

The fact our manager has decided he'd rather play Jonas or Obertan over someone who can actually produce something of an attacking threat is my issue with this whole thing. He's really not been given the chance when other players who offer some huff and puff running are given more time to play. I'm not saying its not Marv's fault at all, he definitely has himself to blame for this some-bit but our manager continues to play poor players in positions based on their graft rather than what they can actually produce.

I have so many random stupid jokes that I'll keep to myself on this one. Fucking love Papisto man. He's like living his own dream I bet.

He'll have been studying these lot for some time now

The ridiculous that is our season can be summed up in beating Chelsea 3-2 at home and then losing to Wigan 2-1 away. I haven't a clue what kind of performance we'll put out but our recent cup performances have shown a pretty solid back-line and we've somehow scored the important goals to get this far. Also, we haven't won shit for ages, hope you have 2 terrible legs and we nick 2 goals and get through man

The more I think about it - the more you've made a good case for it. Just hope you're right man, not at all trying to deflate your very good deductive reasoning for it at all I don't despise the s*** Puma has made for us, but I have been itching for Nike since we had adidas!
