Agree.

Gets to live in London, plays every week, team on one of it's periodic ups and just about to move into a 54,000 seat stadium - third biggest in England. Would probably get a very handsome wage.

Let's face it, everywhere except Real Madrid is a step down on Barcelona.

Man City, Man U, Chelsea - off limits. Arsenal - been there.

Who does that leave? Liverpool (ain't London, is it?) or Spurs as an ex-Arsenal player.

I think a fit carroll has a place in try starting XI tbh. We can't play sakho and valencia every game and its good to change tactics against different teams. As the season goes on people are going to work out how to contain them, so off the bench or a change then carroll is very much a starter in some games and an impact sub in others

I would love us to keep him, just think someone like Man Utd or Liverpool will offer more in the way of wages, and European football (despite what he maybe saying).
Still, you never know.
He is the type of player that would become a cult hero here.

The plan was to go three at the back on the advice of Hoddle, who was brought in to replace Downes after Downes was booted out back in July. Clearly a Harry plan that backfired.
Harry seems to have finally lost the plot to me, his team were a shambles and he said after his players were not fit enough. How many coaches does he need to get his team fit?
He even brought on an over weight Taarabt, who looks to me like he has the biggest arse in football.
Fernadez must be close to pulling the trigger.

Never had any grief with QPR, never hated them as much as Fulham or Chelsea. Always plucky underdogs with the occasional Rodney Marsh Stanley Bowles touch of flair. What has happened to them?

All over after five minutes. We wanted it, they couldn't be arsed. After five minutes, everybody knew. All the players, all the fans, the trainers, the refs, the clueless idiots on motd, even my mum. So no atmosphere is created, no fight no passion, they go through the motions, we probe a bit without actually getting too excited.

Beginning of the second half, Z-man makes an effort, they pick up their game a bit, we step up a gear, 2-0. Game over. "Can we go home now miss?"

QPR have some decent players, but they looked like the most useless bunch of fat gits I have ever seen in the top flight.

I hope (and expect) we buck our ideas up against Burnley, otherwise we won't look too clever.

We will beat Burnley mate. They are another, shockingly useless team. Never has there been such an obvious 3-0 away win written all over it

Although they will be up for it following their plucky result at Leicester.
Confidence will be high, that was their best performance of the season.
We need to be a little careful, they need to kick on from that.
Having said that I do agree they are rubbish and we should get a result.
We have though lost to rubbish teams before.
Don't let them score early.

Bit harsh on Burnley - they've been without the two guys who actually helped them get promoted. Does anyone know if Ings and Vokes will be back for our game?

Jenkinson or Demel for the right back position, Nolan, Amalfitano or Poyet in the middle. Sakho's guaranteed a goal, and we're due a clean sheet

2-0, Sakho and Nolan, a good professional performance.
I was close?
