I was there for the Southampton game, I just felt I would not want to miss that, boooked my flight and hotel just 3 days before, left my old home shirt with RIP Ray at that improvised shrine, bought the commemorative programme, totally missed the arrival of the new da capo, watched the pre-kick off wreath ceremony with Gianni and Jude, listened to the takeover announcement at half time, watched us totally **** up that game, so a bit of happiness and a bit of sadness, all in all a memorable day.

Yes agree..... what is sad though is that a sizable minority think that they are the Anti Christs, and that we'd be better off without them.:confused:

Our club has not experienced for a long, long time, the financial security that the current incumbents bring, the alternative was all to plain, as evidenced by several other teams, which are sadly now no more.

I for one, readily agree, that they have without a doubt saved MY club from extinction.... and given me Championship footy, as oposed to non-league!

Fair to say, we all expected with the big names being very close to premiership football, by now. We finished off 11th last season, no better then season before and I sense fans are frustrated.

When, you see the richest man in the world have 20% of the club, plus the millionaire owners it might be time (certainly in January if it not working), to say we;ve tried getting promtoing the right way, but its not working, and we have to buy the championship and smash transfer records.

Look At Newcastle, higher profile than QPR. They cannot get a buyer, because when it comes up to stomping up the cash, its normally lacking. The right deal was struck with Flavio, as we certainly would have gone into administration, who knows where we would have ended up.

Reality is we have not been the top London club for around 20 years and football has changed, its going to take another 20 years to get back there. I am pretty sure, that at the very best we would have been in Division 1 and maybe even in the same boat as Luton with 5-7,000 crowds. We should be grateful that Flavio and Co took over and certainly should not be abusing the guy, but it might be time to get rid of the deadwood in January and spend to get us out of the league.

I think Newcastle do have many issue's, however for me people have come out saying that they will do well to stay up and they have no chance of promotion. I always felt that they would still be to good for the championship and after watching them make Reading look very ordinary, I really see Newcastle as fav for promotion. I would be surpised if Newcastle and Middlesborough don't finish in the top 2. Both sides have looked top quality. Watching us and many others sides I feel we are along way short. Ameobi will score goals. He is big strong and will suit this league. All the top sides have quality upfront and this is where we are seriously lacking. Goals gets you out of this division and that is why newcastle and Middlesborough won't be staying down here for very long.

A great day for the club
