The slings and arrows of outrageous FFP fines,
Or to take arms against the Football League
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That watching Ollie's team selections give us.
To die, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams of promotion may come,
but only when we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life for a QPR fan.
For who else would bear the whips and scorns of time?
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who else but a QPR fan would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere'd country, AKA the Vanarama National League, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have, even under Wollie,
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action, versus Barnsley.
