History repeating?

[BennyBoyRs]

Are we much better at the moment our record doesn't say so ?

Whoooooooooosh

[uxbridgeranger]

We beat Everton 3-1 at Loftus Rd in 96.Fingers crossed for a repeat of that

Just realised some things we have in common with our relegation in 1996.
Please add anymore you can think of.
Man Utd were fighting near the top of the league, for the title.
Arsenal finished 5th that year and are very likely to do so again.(ok i'm guessing)
We had a manager who played for both Man U & Chelsea
We changed managers part way through the season.
We brought in a big name striker Mark Hately
Chelsea knocked us out of the FA cup at Loftus Road
We played in blue & white hoops ( ok cheap one)
Bolton were down with us all season and were relegated with us.

All correct except Wilkins was manager for the whole season.
Other similar tales where
QPR lost so many games by one goal I think 15 that season.
drew some that should have been wins if it wasn't for silly individual errors.
Wilkins never seemed to get angry at poor performances neither did Warnock who just looked plaese to be back in the top flight.
The Premier League had 20 teams in it.

By March we only needed six wins to stay up and that looks to be the case now.
Sky showed the live games

I wore jeans
I had two brothers
My mum and dad both hated eachother


But's here's what might save us...I was still at school.

Kit i beg your pardon you are correct too,.... yes of course the first season Wilkins took over we were on for europe at one point.
I very nearly put we had someone named Ferdinand in the squad then and now, but
that was probably why we went down then wasn't it,... cause we didn't have Ferdinand.
Well done Kit, nice one the Rs are staying up...

Ferdinand had been winning games almost single handedly at times for a few seasons prior to that too.

Had he been in the side, QPR would have won at least 6 of those drawn and 1goal losses that season. He also wouldn't have scored for Newcastle in their 3-2 win at Loftus Road.

Stan i knew a liverpool fan, local pub landlord, very irritating fella at times,especially
when liverpool beat us.
Anyway i remember him taking the p out of someone else pre-season, about how he thought their team would go down, and i laughed. When he turned to me and said "don't know what you're laughing at i think QPR will go too having sold Ferdinand ". As i said annoying t**t .
So yeah agree with you on Sir Les, although i thought we had a good all round squad back then good enough to stay up anyway

[Terry-Mancini-123]

thought we were odds on with the bookies to go don

Yes we are (10/11),but 4 other clubs have even shorter odds than us. Just looked at oddschecker. Bolton, Blackburn,Wolves and Wigan (4/11) so all is not yet lost. Chin up my friend

And another thing who was no1 when we went down?..............Well 3 lions baddiel & Skinner,.........and what have England got their shirts?......We're F****d ............................
