Just back from Reading and took a slow walk home to think about what has gone on. Im writing this a little bit boozed up so please forgive in advance my ramblings
First up I think we defo deserved to go down this season no complaints we are simply not a team but rather a group of individuals. In the right set up and team some of our players I have no doubt would look the business but in the hoops it has never happened.
The last two years have been hard to stomach, last season was tough but we expected it but having stayed up I honestly expected us to push on and stay up, I was wrong and I admit looking back I got carried away with the hype.
But what did dawn on me walking home I was thinking back to when we went to Palace on 10 April 2010 fighting to stay in the championship. Had someone said to me at that game you will get promoted the following season and spend two seasons in the prem (Even given how bad it has been) I would have taken there hand off and said yes please.
I have said before the team that got promoted had no right too go up when you look at the names in the squad but we did and what hurts is after getting to the prem with a team that should have been mid table in the championship and having seen of the first year we have royally screwed up the second one which should have been easier and seen us consolidate
Relegation if I am honest has not hurt today as its been a slow burn since the 2nd half at villa (Villa sent us down) its been slow but its not been a surprise. If there is a way to go down I would suggest the way we have gone is the way as it is not as bad as going into the last game thinking you have chance just to have it taken away so that is a small mercy in a way.
But although relegation does not hurt I am so angry with QPR, im angry with how we have given up with games to go, im angry that we have players who are not prepared to run through brick walls for the club, im angry we have given up our prem place without a proper fight and im angry more then anything that Mark Hughes (who I hold responsible, I know others will disagree) will be forever be associated with our fantastic club.
Even after all this QPR I still LOVE YOU and I always will, at the moment your kind of like a wife who we married as a size 10 but having gotten comfortable has gone up to a size 14. You still love her you still remember all the good times and enjoy her company but secretly you want her to go on crash diet so she can slim herself back down to the lady who you fell for and become a size 10 again. And that's how I feel about QPR I to some extent want the old Rangers back, the Rangers who fought against the odds and succeeded as we did getting promoted in the first place.
Rangers I love you but tonight I am afraid you will need to sleep on the sofa or in the spare room but in a week or so I am sure we will make up and that sexy, alluring, teasing yet naughty size 10 will remerge as it did on the 30 April 2011 in Watford nearly 2 years ago to the day.
Your my Club, you will always be my club and I will foolishly back you until the day I die. We will be back but when we are lets show a little bit more grace and class then this time
