QPR Survive By Skin of Their Teeth and Chris Foy's Incompetence!



So how right have I been proved exactly? All season I have maintained that QPR would survive - just. In the early months of the season I warned the gRs that it would be a season of struggle and they mocked, claiming there was no way in a million years that a team backed by the billions of Mital and the ego of Fernandes could go down. Then, when they collectively despaired, I explained that Rangers would survive courtesy of the failings of others - and that's EXACTLY how it has worked out.

Mind you, it sounds very much as if Fernandes owes a large cheque to a certain Chris Foy whose perverse refereeing decisions robbed Bolton of the victory that would have seen them survive at QPR's expense. There's a lot of talk about goal line technology but that would simply scratch the surface. Today a team was relegated because of the incompetence of a referee and that can't be right. Surely once technology is accepted, all controversial goals should be referred to a fourth official.

What a great last day of the Prem it proved to be - with Bolton robbed, QPR surviving and Ferguson choking on his red wine with that last gasp Man City winner. Only in England can this happen season after season - which is why, for all its technical flaws, the English game remains the most exciting in the world.

Anyway, congratulations to QPR and to Mark Hughes. Let's hope we will meet each other next season and that Barton will still be a Hoop and not in Claret and Blue!

The match reports I've seen say nothing of controversial calls. Hats off to QPR. The wins they conjured up in these last few weeks have been thrilling, and for those they deserve their top flight status.

Now I really hope we go up on Saturday.

I hate playing Bolton.

I have heard many times Man. Utd people say that their worst memory was that match against West Ham which lost them the League and handed it to Blackburn. Finally, they will have something that surpasses that by far from now on. Having the title in their hands 3-4 minutes before the end and then watch Manchester City score twice and steal it is surely as bad as it gets for Fergie and Co. Personally, I am glad. City was the better team and played the better football all season long.

As far as your predictions re: QPR are concerned you should perhaps apologise to all the QPR fans for never losing a chance to to intimidate them. I don't expect that you will do that or that you will admit you were wrong however. It is not in your nature.

You were convinced we were going down. We on the other hand, always believed that we'd stay up.

Onwards and upwards we go!!

Bolton got what they deserved, a spot in the championship. If Hill's goal was allowed, we would have been safe by the time we played City. Plenty of decisions went against us this season, Derry's red card, Villa being awarded a late penalty & a lot of points dropped, Newcastle at home should have been a 3 pointer, Norwich & Wolves at home too. Well done to City, United left with nothing, they are the weakest link, goodbye.

I'm so happy we had the last laugh against your vindictive persecution of our lovely club you complete tosser.

Hope you lose at the weekend.

Oh dear oh dear. Haven't been here for some time and you are still trolling away about QPR, and still ignorant of basic football facts,

Bolton were not relegated because of one game. They were relegated because over the course of the season, they weren't good enough, despite the motivation surge following the Muamba saga. Not even the disallowed goal helped them in the end. And by the way, contrary to your confused ramblings about technology, that too was a refereeing / officials decision, exactly as the Foy one was. After that game, you predicted QPR's demise.

You were wrong, as per usual.

I hope tosser is not considered too rude? If so, feel free to substitute it for the word kunt.
