    Tony: Good morning Mr Harry, I hope you had a lovely holiday and are looking forward to the challenge of getting us back in the premiership.

    Harry: Er sorry you have the wrong number

    Fernandes? What are you on? Redknapp will be off like a scalded honey badger when QPR go down. Arry' also said when he signed on that he wouldn't be spending big money, and then what did he do? The man is a joke and hs no class.

  • Comment posted by Keithemb6259, at 10:04 24 Feb 2013

    Greatest news of the day "Harrys staying at QPR" just like he was going to keep them up & just like he wasnt going to spend big money. Dont make me laugh he,ll be off like a shot when anyone comes calling, the mans got no scruples. As for Remy where you going to go when no one will match your wages, you,ll have to stay where you are (mercenary)

  • Comment posted by U15256907, at 09:50 24 Feb 2013

    Funniest thing I have read in ages, poor deluded Fernandes, 'Arry staying if QPR are relegated, that is as likely as 'Arry's dog Rosie going broke!!

    Spot on pal

    Not sure our Arry's upto the job of keeping QPR up.

    However, the real news will be tomorrow when the mighty Bradford win the league cup and restore some pride back to West Yorkshire. Come on you Bantams!! (from a Sheffield Wednesday fan).

    Berbatov - now that was real class. Pity he doesn't have the work ethic needed in the modern game to go with it. Fabulous and frustrating in equal measures!

    Pinning your club's survival hopes on Bobby Zamora....basically a glorified way of saying that you've given up. I have no sympathy for QPR with the infrastructure they've employed to get into and stay in the Premier League, it's best if they go down for the good of football.

    Calm down people, my comments are not based on Brits but how a lot of foreigners may see things. As for the weather, just check the stats. Avg temp and rainfall differs between North and South. If a foreign player only wants to play for a London club I would think its foolish but London has more of an appeal to a lot of "foreigners". More tourists visit London so it must appeal to them

    Harry staying with QPR despite them getting relegated, i would love to see the odds on that, maybe 50/1, the same could be said about Ronaldo wanting to become a pilot. He will be too busy moaning if things do not go his way.

  • Comment posted by Rinky Dinky Do, at 14:32 24 Feb 2013

    @43 - what are you talking about? I live in the north and my job means I have to spend around 3 days a week in London, the tempeture difference is not noticeable, and as for dumps, well believe me, London wins hands down. I would walk through any northern city at night, but I wouldn't in parts of London

    Have Chelsea sacked Capello yet??
    If so then the only way I can see them finding a new boss would be to hold an X Factor / the Apprentice style search for a new manager.
    Every week they can audition 10,000 hopefuls, while Roman sits in an office behind his desk and sacks them all.
    They could call it.... Toss Boss and Chelsea could hold the contest annually!

    I hope Thierry's going to be a strikers coach... We need him!

    If bulls@@t could fly he would be a wing commander!!

    @22

    Don't take it personally.

    Most so called 'fans' don't know anything about their own club. This is what is poor when it comes to commenting. Zero accountability.

    If Chelsea want to sign De Gea (which I read the other day - not that I believe it) and they offered 25m then it is a good deal. Begovic is touted at 6m and he is better.

    Hernandez should want to move for 1st team ftb'll.He won't

    @ 16 - you're right. Nothing you say should be taken seriously. There is nothing English about London? Lol Brilliant.

    @15

    Chillax dude.

    Not sure what I have made up? And after all, this is a gossip column, it's all made up ain't it?

    I know a lot of City fans and they certainly think that Yaya is a divine gift. Not that City are a one man team but he does seem to be the catalyst when the chips are down, at Newcastle away last season for one

    I got a hangover, and fear that there are a few more on the horizon.

  • Comment posted by tryataiwaneseok, at 08:12 24 Feb 2013

    DJ Shadow - we don't think Yaya is a god - where on earth have you got that from - Silva or Zabaleta maybe - Looking at your previous posts- I think you are probably a bit guilty of making things up..

  • Comment posted by U14838542, at 21:46 24 Feb 2013

    @ 62 I would be very surprised to see Harry go abroad to manage a club. He wouldn't even move closer to London to manage West Ham, Tottenham or QPR so would very much doubt he would move abroad. And the commute from Bournemouth would be a nightmare!

  • Comment posted by whatyousay, at 21:34 24 Feb 2013

    Harry will be managing some team abroad once QPR get relegated.

    swansea vs Bradford, was worthy of a 4th round match rather then a cup final. now that swansea are in Europe, every team will want to avoid them, they don't want a trip to Wales. maybe Ronaldo can fly them out with his pilot skills.

    Liverpool take 1 step foward then 2 steps back, they are mid table club now. Henry go Newcastle!!
