Apart from my twice weekly match, I've avoided talking about football too much on this blog. As a Fan of English second divisoin team "Queens Park Rangers", I don't have too much to write about. But as today is the start of a new season I suspect that this may be my only chance to talk about them with the optimism a new season brings, before reality brings my hopes crashing back down to earth.
A little over two years ago Q.P.R. was saved from bankruptcy when when three exremely rich men bought Rangers. At the time it seemed like it was going to be the Chelsea scenario all over again and that we would buy a bunch of good footballers, win promotion and then buy a bunch of great footballers and win the Premiership.
Well none of that happeden and after hiring and firing five mangers in those two years the club was lucky not to get relegated last season.
Far from buying their way into the Premiership Q.P.R.'s owners appear to be trying to run the club on the cheap, getting players on loan deals or buying players that i've never heard of. ,
Tommorow the season kicks of with a home game against Blackpool, for those of you took the easy way out all those years ago and chose your team based upon who had just won the previous championship, "QPR V Blackpool" probably doesn't mean much. Yet for those of us who have faced mediocre football for countless years, a new season means fresh hope and a chance to dream of glory.
So with hopes and expectaions once again raised, lets bring on Blackpool our first victims of the new season.
COME ON YOU R's

You really are a true fan of QPR. You even wrote their full name on our house in Estonia. Only someone washed it off. I guess they don't support the same team! :)
