We're bottom of the entire football league... stop moaning QPR fans - you'll be given ridiculous millions for being bottom at the end of the season.

I'm dreading non-league football - five years ago we were 4th in the Championship. I hate football.

Is that Ridsdale's work?

Risdale came in and sold off most of our players for very small amounts during admin. He did take a wage - £20,000 a month for his 'services'. He apparently was on a walking holiday when he heard of our plight and decided to come in and help out. As well as our players, he scrapped the reserve team to save money and offloaded most of the under 19 squad.

My club is limping towards non-league. We had 8,200 at our last home game and took 900 away to AFC Wimbledon the Tuesday before that. How a club in league 2 cannot function properly with about £125,000 generated every home game, I'll never know.

Sad times - I've probably been to over 400 games since 1986.

Is the great escape on for 'Arry and the Rs? The run-in looks good and Villa next weekend is massive.

Aston Villa v QPR Sat 16 Mar 15:00

Fulham v QPR Mon 1 Apr 20:00

QPR v Wigan Sun 7 Apr 16:10

Everton v QPR Sat 13 Apr 15:00

QPR v Stoke Sat 20 Apr 15:00

Reading v QPR Sun 28 Apr 13:30

QPR v Arsenal Sat 4 May 15:00

QPR v Newcastle Sun 12 May 15:00

Liverpool v QPR Sun 19 May 16:00

Doubtful. Wigan looked good today and seemed to respond well to getting thumped last weekend. I'd be amazed if they got anything out of their matches against us and Arsenal, a draw against Villa isn't enough in my opinion plus Stoke and Fulham are two teams at opposite ends of the style spectrum.

Oh brilliant another fucking Cup final with an underdog who gets beaten by better more experienced opportunity. Weren't they brave though, isn't it cruel.

BORING.

No, Everton got knocked out.

Trust me, being a millwall fan, we're not happy with the draw either. We wanted Chelsea.

The cup final is rarely a hugely entertaining game, but the two shittest ones in recent years for entertainment value have been the two played between sides in the top four. Arsenal - Man Utd in 2005 and Chelsea - Man Utd in 2007. Last season (Chelsea - Liverpool) was entertaining for the final 30 minutes or so, but watching Chelsea strangle Liverpool for the first hour was beyond tedious. "Hollywood" finals are usually shit so I don't mind the way the semi final draw has turned out.

To be fair, most finals are pretty dull, irrelevant of who plays. Unless you think any of the Man City v Stoke/Chelsea v Portsmouth/Portsmouth v Cardiff games were any good (they weren't). I guess the last half-decent one was Chelsea v Everton back in 2009, but the last real cracker-jack of a game was the West Ham v Liverpool back in 2006.

For entertainment value I'd say the league cup has been better over the last 10 years or so.

12th Feb 2012

Sir Alex Ferguson branded Luis Suárez a “disgrace to Liverpool” and urged the Anfield club to “get rid” of the Uruguayan after he refused to shake Patrice Evra’s hand before Manchester United’s 2-1 victory.

10th March 2013

Chelsea interim boss Rafael Benitez said Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson ignored their handshake before Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final.

He's clearly a disgrace to Man Utd and we should all urge the Old Trafford Club to "get rid" of the Scotsman.

Even his own fans wouldn't shake his hand.

Benitez was waiting for Ferguson in the tunnel with a photographer nearby looking to take a picture of them.
"I was waiting. I was waiting for him. I was waiting at the beginning.

“Ask him. I was waiting, there was nothing wrong.

“You have to ask him [why he didn’t shake hands]. Ask him. You are brave enough, ask him.

“I was waiting, I have some education. I was waiting, I have education because I know a lot of people are watching, so I know what you have to do.”

He was waiting. Waiting, waiting, waiting with a photographer for a PR stunt to shake the hand of someone he doesn't get on with in the tunnel before the match when handshakes between managers aren't even considered customary.

Then cries about it to the press when Sir Alex can't be bothered.
