OK. I was being slightly flippant about slapping his wrist. But I do have a slight unease about a player dancing on the grave of the manager quite so smugly and publicly. Perhaps one to be left in the dressing room is all I was thinking. Possible just me wanting to find any excuse to out him. You may have inferred I am not amongst his fans. Interesting to see how he gets on with Nigel Q next time he runs into a wall of players and loses possession. Oopps there I go popping at him again! It's just so easy!!

hart wanted to play long ball crap, and Taarabt is just saying what any decent player would say. How can a player who likes to play with the ball on the gound play that system?
Hart was stupid in thinking that the current squad is capable of playing hoofball effectively.
Also, Taarabt is not an all action midfielder and there is nothing wrong with saying that the Spanish game is more suited to his style of play. The PL is better suited to him than the CCC, but La Liga may be even better.
Good luck to him under Harford and I hope he can reproduce his earlier form again. If he can learn to pass the ball to team mates at the right time and work on his shooting, he will be a very good player.

Sir Alex Ferguson warns Manchester United stars: cross me and you'll die
By SPORTSMAIL REPORTER
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson had lifted the lid on his no-nonsense managerial style by revealing he warns his multi-million pound stars: cross me and you're dead.
The fiery Scot, renowned for his infamous 'hairdryer treatment' of under-performing players, insists he has to keep control of the Old Trafford dressing room.
And the only way of doing that, according to the 68-year-old, is by ruling with an iron fist.
Time to kill: Sir Alex Ferguson in warning to Manchester United squad
Speaking at a lecture in Dublin, the United boss said: 'If I lose control of these multi-millionaires in the Manchester United dressing room then I'm dead. So I never lose control. If anyone steps out of my control, that's them dead.'
'Through my development, I've come across two issues - power and control.
'Control is important, very, very important. My control is the most important thing.'
United darlings Roy Keane, David Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy have all been forced out of Old Trafford after locking horns with Ferguson.
You're messing with the wrong guy: Nani looks destined to leave Old Trafford
And Portuguese winger Nani looks destined to be the Scot's latest victim, after blasting Ferguson's regime back in November.
'He is a very complicated guy,' Nani said. 'He's tough. If things are OK, he will be OK, but if there is anything he believes to be wrong, you are screwed. He can go from complimenting you to just plain trashing in a couple of minutes. Has it happened to me? Hell, yes. He'll say "Nani, how could you miss this or this?'
Fergie fall-out: Ruud van Nistelrooy
The United winger has featured for the first-team just twice since his outburst and looks set to be moved on in the summer.
Meanwhile, Ferguson was also quick to dismiss rumours of boardroom unrest by insisting the buck stops with him, and not the owners.
Ferguson said: 'My control is the most important thing. The most important person in Manchester United is the manager.
'I always thought that when I became a manager - and I experienced this in Aberdeen - I had too much control.
'I was doing everything - ordering the pies, looking after the programmes. It was getting me nowhere.
'What happens is that you do too much and then you don't do the important things.
'Then, the directors start to say 'He's too big for his boots' and stuff like that.'

It would be a bit easier to stomach his public mocking of a manager if he were a QPR player. Wouldn't make it right... but he's a Spurs player, who's off to Spain next year.
Maybe it shouldn't - but it makes a difference in my eyes.
What happens the first time he's subbed, or left on the bench by Harford??
Will he blame Hart then?Final Version - Hope you like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1z0UQ0eqRM

Because he is a better player than them, especially if he can reproduce his form from Autumn.
No doubt about it, he is greedy, often selfish and doesn't really play for the team, but he is a very skilful player.
I don't recall ever seeing Ephraim or Balanta torment any team the way Taarabt does.
So what if they are QPR players and not on loan or that they want to play for QPR? They don't have his ability on the ball nor will they score as many.
When Ephraim had a run of games for QPR last season, he had one or two good games, and the rest of the time produced very little and was frequently shrugged off the ball.

Hang on a minute.
many of us, if not nearly all, did not want Hart appointed and many of us hated his style of play.
He wanted to play hoofball and who apart from Ramage, Hall, Stewart, Agyemang and maybe Leigertwood, are suited to that in the QPR squad?

He's a fantastic talent. And I'm not saying his thoughts are not entirely incorrect... but I don't see the need for him to spout it publicly like that.
That's modern footballers though, I suppose.
And part of the reason that the "Rant from a QPR fan" has spread like a virus, and touched a nerve with so many.
Just shut up, and get on with your football Adel... but I know that's too much to ask from the likes of him.

Nevertessless his thoughts on the manager should've stayed in the dressing room no matter if he is a talent (debateable) or whether he was right or not (so happens I agree with the content of his comments). But not his place to opine like this. The public commentary shows he sits outside the team. I am a paying punter and can say I don't think Hart was up to the job. He really shouldn't. And this is also a veiled threat to Harford not to drop him. Bad form all round.

Also, did you see Hogan gesturing to other players to come an celebrate with him after he scored the penalty at Blackpool ?

Paul I agree with your comment regarding Adel however mr Mason I think you should support Nigel as he will at least show some passion and sort out a few ego'sI played sunday league football today.
Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.
I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.
We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!
