That was great. I should really be more mature than to get enjoyment from seeing Beale smashed out of the CL but I can’t help it.

Nah, maturity is overrated, especially on nights like tonight

Are headphones getting bigger, or are idiots getting smaller ?

And I guess we’d still have him back in a heartbeat.

Absolutely ... NOT!
Giovanni van Bronckhorst was sacked after losing 6 Champions League games in a row. I will be hoping for a similar fate in the Europa League group stages for Mole face.
Now that would be really funny.

And what division do you think we'd be playing in this season if it weren't for the points he garnered?

You know I had not thought of that we may now be playing in the Premier League if he had not left in the most gracious way. We really have a lot to thank him for. Should we petition for a statue to be put up in his honour.

His bubble was bursting. We would be exactly where we are now if he hadn't left.

Maybe he's actually quite smart, realising what a rudderless sh*tshow our club is, with an impotent thick ex legend in charge of everything, owners who can barely remember buying us, and a bafflingly canonised failure like Ramsey ( 'he's the world's best coach, ask anyone' ) overseeing our languid/moribund youth policy.
The solution is get in a bloke who dresses like a mid life crisis pub band front man, who fronts a pub band who should be called Mid Life Crisis, who after the first game of 46 says ' I will do everything to keep this club in the league.'
Beale would laugh at you if you met him, especially if you mentioned any facial blemish - I'm sure you resemble a late eighties Swayze.
We are a shit club, run by even shitter people.
Support your grassroots team, this shit ship has sailed.
Namaste.

Yeah Ainsworth right out of his depth. Fancy signing a geriatric like Colback. That Smyth, div 2 player at best. And route one football all the way. Once again QPR fans show they know sod all. OK there’s a long way to go, but my view … we will only get better and stronger.
