[Football] The big game last night

[Falmer Flutter ©]

No, not that one, but QPR (15th) v Sheffield Wednesday (16th) at Loftus Road, which I happened to find myself at with a German colleague over for a few days and who wanted to experience a "pwoper" English game in a "pwoper" English stadium. I was worried that this would put him off for life, but with QPR 3-0 up after 15 minutes and Mssive an absolute mess, he was loving it. He even enjoyed his hotter-than-the-sun traditional chicken balti Pukka Pie at HT.

Final score was 4-2 after a minor fightback from the Owls, including a very tidy finish from the largely ineffective Forestieri. What has happened to them this year, though? Truly terrible and I did feel slightly sorry (for about five seconds) for the travelling fans who filled the upper tier behind the goal (lower tier was empty).

hotter-than-the-sun

I love that phrase, never heard anyone except a couple of my mates use it though.

Fernando scored? I think that's his second goal in basically no time on the pitch, must have a decent goals-to-games ratio now, legendary purchase.


EDIT: According to whoscored.com, he's got a goal every 103 minutes. DECENT!

Aging squad I think. Looks likely they missed their chance and a rebuild is on the cards. Not easy recovering after double playoff failures as we well know.

Still, that's what they get for losing to a weaker (in my opinion) Hudds team and a dour Hull side the year prior after fluking it past us.

I believe that was Forestieri's first start since August due to injury. They also brought on Jordan Rhodes and George Boyd late one. Both were pony.

What’s happened to Massive?

Under Chansiri’s planned trajectory tor the club, they should be competing in the latter stages of the CL by now. Rather than those poor imitations Citeh & Pool.
