I've barely got the energy to write this but it's the Cup...we'll inevitably not try very hard, but it's a somewhat welcome distraction.

They have a striker we were interested in...Richard Kone...who no doubt will upstage the 50m we have just spent.

Predicted Lineup:

T-Rex

KWP  Kilman   Mayers   Igor

Rodriguez  Magassa

Bowen   Taty    Sumerville

Pablo

Subs:  Areola, Scarles, Mavropanos, Potts, Irving, Paqueta, Soucek, Ajala, Landers.

Predicted Score: 1-1 (lose on pens)

When was our last home FA cup game? 

I think just 2 years ago Bristol City I think but seems like ages and I don't think I went. 

It does! Of course we lost didn’t we?  I didn’t go to that one so god knows the last time I went to a home cup game. Did we lose to Blackburn in the FA cup or the league cup?

League Cup, we lost the replay to Bristol... Bowen scored 4th minute looked like we were gonna slaughter them, same as it always was.. Which is why I must be mad to be looking forward to it... Never learn..

FA Cup 3rd round day use to be the best day in the footballing calendar.

On a personal note I think I will be around for QF weekend, so hoping we win this and draw absolute shit in the next two rounds. Yea right

Looking forward to tomorrow too. Partly the old skool London opposition. Could be a good atmosphere for once. 

As sacrilegious as it may be, after hearing that Nuno may be sacked if we lose to Tottenham, I  hoping we lose. Taken a dislike to that prick. 

[Tomshardware]

I'm quite looking forward to going over there tomorrow, must be mad but feels like ages since I've been to an FA cup game, still has someagic for me... 

Same here, first FA Cup game in donkeys years and I'm looking forward to it despite all the negativity around the club at the moment.

Nothing mad about looking forward to the FA cup Fraser. 

The 3rd round is always a highlight of a truly depressing time of the year (this one being even worse). I always want us to do well in this competition, regardless of what we’re doing in the league. It’s a London derby, bragging rights at stake, even if we are in different divisions (at the moment).

It would be nice to go into the derby next week with a bit of a spring in our step, even if it doesn’t last. 

3-0

QPR have the best player in the Championship (Ilias CHAIR) , but he is out injured. 

Having said that, today they absolutely STOLE Ronnie EDWARDS from Saints for five Million... 
Classy Rolls - Royce England u - 20 defender ; A better player than Kilman
.




 

Now a broken Chair. Let me guess, he broke a leg?

We’ve got an 18 year-old defender who, with the right coaching (key), will be a better player than Kilman in a year’s time.

We’ve set a stunningly low benchmark for measuring defenders with Kilman.

I'm got a rocking chair that's a better defender than Kilman.

Enjoy 30 minute’s worth of football as entertainment by watching Big Match highlights of West Ham vs QPR in the 1975 FA Cup 5th Round.

Upton Park, muddy pitch, open game, both teams pushing forward trying to win. Proper tackles, Phil Parkes in goal for QPR, Keith Robson manhandling the referee, no VAR, no match stifling tactics, no play acting or simulation.

[Gank]

Soucek and capt? Do fuck off 

The same Czech National Captain and former League winning Slavia Prague Captain who even did it in the Champions League against quality opposition (drawing against Barcelona including peak Messi at Nou Camp and Inter Milan San Siro) and someone who puts their body on the line everytime he puts the shirt on, that Captain material? I can think of a lot worse in this current Squad set-up than him. Including Bowen.

ag ag ag ag You've pushed his buttons there! You're both right but in a properly run club it wouldn't be a discussion. We're stuck with a choice between a bloke who is proper captain material but not skilful or young enough to warrant an automatic start and a brilliant player who no real man would ever tolerate being told off by. What a mess!

[Manuel]

Think that sums it up why we are going down : they can bring on Hudson-Odoi we would bring on Soucek. 

I thought the same thing. He cost them 5 mil and is arguably better than anything we have, at least this season. When the line up's come out for the Forest game I thought they are simply a better side than us.

As for this game, we badly need a win and a cup run could lift some spirits. Expecting a strong side, whatever that is. QPR are shit.

2-0

[El Scorchio]

Loss. Because of leaky defence. Especially if Todibo is rested.

[Hello Mrs. Jones]

Love the cup, want a good run. What are the outright odds? Have to be better than usual. I will try my luck.

Hope Nuno puts out a strong team. At risk of upsetting Fraser I will try 4-4-2 again.

Areola
Walker Peters, Mavropanos, Tobido, Scarles
Bowen, Soucek (c), Paqueta, Summerville
Pablo, Taty

That should do it.
Do you think Taty is a Scottish potato?

No he's a neep

[Massive Attack]

[Fauxstralian]

Magassa Fernandes & Potts
Need some energy & concentrate on players we want to keep next season
Imagine Moyes will be in for Soucek in the summer 
Bowen should play and be told he is staying 
Even if Tuchel takes him to America he isn’t playing for England after the World Cup so the excuse of England selection doesn’t apply 

[Keep dreaming]

Soucek and capt? Do fuck off

[Fauxstralian]

We are relegated so no excuse not to go full strength if only to get some confidence back 
That said I’d have liked to have seen the likes of Kante & Earthy to give them match time ahead of next season 
We don’t look capable of beating ANYONE at the moment … can’t score , can’t defend … but reckon QPR will also go understrength to concentrate on making the playoffs 
A nervy 2-1 with hopefully the new strikers scoring

[onsideman]

Think that sums it up why we are going down : they can bring on Hudson-Odoi we would bring on Soucek. 

 

 

Only if we started without Bowen
I mean we're shit but let's not big up the competition quite so much

[Massive Attack]

Our players are a Midtable Championship side right now? 

 

Going on performance of late, then it's a fair comment, comparison and observation in my humble? On paper they should be lot better, but they are not!

Best the useless wanker manager gets the best out of them then for underperforming so badly. We are too accepting of the situation at times when it really is called for and I look directly at the Board when I say that.
