QPR thread

[Lennon'sEleven]

Can anyone recommend a pub in London for this one?

that's a bit of a wide catchment area!!! you might need to narrow it down a bit!

Anywhere in central really. I'm not really aware of any other pubs where other Bolton fans might go.

There's a nice Sam Smith's pub, The Angel, very close to Tottenham Court Road station. It's a proper old boozer with original furnishings, and as it's a Sam Smith's you get a pint of decent beer for about £2.20—unheard of in central London.

Probably not the place if you want to be rowdy, mind.

Won't be showing the football though, I wouldn't think...

I've been to the Blue Eyed Maid mentioned above too. Got a decent spot near a television, and saw us beat Newcastle, so it was all very pleasant.

Not dead central though.

Quite a few Sam pubs in central London. This chap seems to have mapped them, although I cannot ascertain the veracity of his production.

As OE notes, it won't show the action though. The Sports Café on Haymarket (between Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square) will show it, but so will most pubs with Sky, there's nothing else on. Besides which, last time I watched a Wanderers match in the Sports Cafe we went out of Europe.

Just pick a tube station and away you go.

Sam Smith's pubs don't show sport though, do they? I know the Blue Eyed Maid and it's within walking distance so I might go there.

Now that's a real job!

You're right, it definitely won't be showing the football (no TV—another plus). For some reason, I had it in mind that we were playing away and he was looking for a pre-stadium drink.

I watched us there when we beat Spurs 4-2, and when we had our comeback against Birmingham at home. Maybe it's a good omen, I'll go there just in case.

[Armchair Wanderer]

I'm going to the same place I saw us beat spuds 4-2 too. Also saw us lose to Chelsea in the Nat match there, but that was a long time ago. Last game I saw there was the 8-2 where ManU beat the Arse. There should at least be goals

I haven't been less confident of winning a football match since last week.. And the week before. And the week before that too.

Not a concept I am familiar with

[BWFC_Insane]

Big game, massive chance to get ourselves out of it. I just can't get excited or nervous about it. Strange feeling.

Must win game for me, as it will give us the confidence that we can beat those around us and set us up for a run of form.

QPR will see it as must win too, given their harder run in. Can see it being tight and nervy. COYW.

Exactly the same goes for me.

[Il Pirate]

I feel if we lose this, our confidence, what there is of it, will be completely shot. We will go into the final throes of our slow lingering demise with the mentality of a drowning man. Knowing we're doomed & just hoping the end comes quickly. But it's not like we didn't see the quicksand way back in september, when excuses were being made that 'it's okay, we lost to a top 6 side'. Or; 'It's ok, they're going to play out of their skin, they're newly promoted'. Well I for one can't wait for this slow motion car crash of a season to finish. Hopefully with us still in the prem, but I fear the worst with captain calamity in charge.

[boltonboris]

We'll see a 4-4-2 line up announced before kick-off, there'll be a collective groan around the stadium and the atmosphere will be as flat as it's been since, well, the last home again when the feck*' idiot ruined all hope with his ridiculous line-up.

[Lennon'sEleven]

We won't see 442. Not this time. I'm sure of it.

We had an great little run at the end of last year into the beginning of this, and Coyle knows why it was. The niggling injury to M.Davies (a key part of the 451 model) led to a couple of ill-advised changes (why didn't we see Tuncay given a chance as a direct replacement?), but if he is fit at the weekend then I think Coyle knows his best 11. And I'd hazard a guess that it's:

Bogdan
Steinsson Ream Wheater Ricketts
NRC Muamba
Eagles Mavies Miyaichi
Ngog


Possibly with Petrov on the left and Ryo on the right.

[officer_dibble]

"Coyle knows why it was"
doesn't know his arse from his elbow

tuncay dropped from squad.altogether last weekend, clearlyit was his (and muamba) fault that we got beat at chelsea.

i think we will see 442 with sordell starting.

then again ream could be deployed in the hole. who knows what the random team and formation generator will throw out this week!?

[The Axman]

just had a moment. I was looking at the squads for QPR and Bolton, and I thought who the f*** is Sanli?

We've all done it.

[Caro-Kann]

Bad news I'm afraid, in that my son and I are heading to this game and we've yet to see Bolton score at our two previous trips to the Reebok, or the friendly with Falkirk.
Still looking forward to the match though!

I'm going to take a punt on what the outcome of this match will be then 0-97

[The Axman]

12:45 kick off. Is this one on Sky?
