Anyone just hear the commentator's impersonation of Sven and then saying Epic fail? Laughing out loud

guy on this bbc game just said EPIC fail on the celebration.

made me laugh.

not suprised there isn't more championship games on tv, been exciting the past couple of years, and i read somewhere its the fifth most popular watched league in the world.

Carroll looks like a strong lad. They need some decent service from the wings tho

We need two forwards!!!

So much for CL football in 4 years time Sad

the reports suggest we were very unfortunate and played well. Clearly we need a striker. pleased for Damage though.
did it look a bad injury for Rowly?

hoping to get to the away game at Bristol City on the 18th


It pretty much the same as last season solid defence, lack the cutting edge in attack.

We was all over them really they did fookall till they got their goal really.

We looked more lively when Patrick came on.

Rowly should be ok.

so bored of this bollocks, aint you mate?
why the fuck cant they just buy a proven scorer to get us out this shit league, cos thats all we need…like i said last year, all the nil nils etc, if phillips was there and he scored in all them games, which he invariably does, wed of been in the playoffs.

I really don't understand qpr, they have all these funds available and they're a london club so attracting a decent striker for the league shouldn't be hard at all. Instead they sign italians who i've never heard of and give JIm Magilton the managers job Puzzled

If they want a decent blue print all they have to do is look at what Fulham did 10 years ago. Crazy, they are doing things in reverse at qpr.

Exactly all these Italians that will bottle it or try to get the pretty goals.

All we need is a Phillips and we are out.

i don't understand the signing of Pellicori or whatever his name is when there was the likes of Lita & Vassell both available free. it seems to me the signing of Faurlin was just like a gesture to show there is money there. I think we have a strong squad but we need a proper finisher, Vine & Dave are both good 'forwards' but to my mind not strikers. Helguson is not really all that imo,. There are goals in us with the quality we had in the middle but it is these sort of games that will probably come back to haunt us in May.

But in reality we didnt spend that much as we made around 1.7m from the sale of Blackstock and Camp. And really trimmed the squad down.

Peter Ramage was screaming for the ball all game he had so much space on the right, goal was good too.

Helguson looked so sluggish.

I know, whilst it was nice to see Rangers spend some real money like you say when you take into account the sale of Dex Camp & Delaney it is not much at all. How did Borrowdale do? i'd liketo see him do well after laying out on him and then him not getting a game until today. I don't really see any strikers available now other than DJ Campbell and I think what we have are better than him.

Agreed Noble….Didnt notice Borrowdale to be honest. DJ wont help the situation. Benjani of Man City must be available atleast onloan.

Our away form is awful, we would of made the play off if it was better.

half 5 kick-offs ftw, fucking love them Smiling
a nice little pre game settler then the match then back on it.

we played ok, should have done them around 3-1 though the sub keeper was pretty good.
want to see this simon cox lad up front and if greening and morrison stay past the transfer window, can see us getting the 2nd automatic spot
