whose up for a cup run?

[maudesfishnchips]

may motivate the team more, also extra games to bed in any new boys.

and more importantly give us ALL something to cheer.

wembley wembley

Ok so IF we go on a cup run I will come across a major dilemma.

If we're to get to the semi final, do I go to Wembley to see the R'ss play there or do I watch it at home and hope we get to the final so I could see that instead?? Pretty sure to see both would be too expensive for me.

[harlowranger]

Yeah lets all do a Birmingham !

[Macmoish]

For QPR, a "Cup Run" would be winning through to the Fourth Round!

if we got to the semi's rory and then the final i will buy both tickets for you.

Yes we do need a good Cup run, we just need to get past this 3rd Round. Put a strong Team out so we can get over the Line.

i'll go for that!

didn't we have a thread on here pre season regarding that?

i just want to cheer and be happy ;D

[Macmoish]

Trouble is: Winning the FA Cup Today doesn't have the glamour it did 25 years ago...So even IF we won it, wouldn't be quite that an achievement.

And as I said when we did have that earlier discussion, if choice between winning FA Cup and Staying up, I'll take staying up. (Others felt differently)

QPR v Chel***
FA cup final, Wembley stadium, 5th may 2012, KO 1500 Hrs

Glamour enough??

[bradfieldhoop]

5,500 of us by the tickets sold--however I think most of us are just hoping to see a win!-- hope nw takes it seriously but I will say now he wont so he has an excuse if we lose!!

[hitman34]

i would love a good cup run now that we are down.

only problem is we wont reach the next round if we play for a draw.

cheer up hitman, work tomorrow!

[nomar]

Seriously?

On present form we can't beat half the teams in the Championship or League 1. MK Dons will beat us.

Last thing we need is a cup run anyway unless you want to definitely guarantee that we get distracted and end up relegated.

"Post of the day" for my money.

[hertshoop]

Might be a chance for the new lad Macheda to get 90 mins match practise, hopefully DJ too

Will be my sons first ever cup tie so looking forward to it and maybe put a smile back on our faces

[Lonegunmen]

Our Cup Runith over?

[mikehunt]

got a feeling warnock will do his usual and tell the players to lose this game. well not actually them words, but you know what i mean.
reserve side will be out imo.

[Lonegunmen]

Bit like a certain ex owner suggesting a car crash in the Singapore Grand Prix?

[mikehunt]

ha ha, yep. put it this way im not a gambler and never bet aprt from the grand national, but im going to whack a oner on mk dons. wonder what price ill get?

[alfaranger]

On balance I dont think it will do us any good to lose against MK. A win whoever its against would do us good. Even with an understrength team a loss would increase the already strong perception in some quarters that we a going down.

[Lonegunmen]

dunno, but I'd really like to see us have a decent cup run for once.

[scarletpimple]

You can't beat winning no matter who against, if warnock does throw the game with around 7-8k fans there, he will have hell to pay.

[saphilip]

Take it seriouly for once - hell it would be nice to actually win a Cup Tie for a change.

[rousdonhoops]

qpr v. norwich final, now that would be interesting

[kilburnhoop]

Who would take a cup final win and relegation???

[mikehunt]

not for me. would rahter go out first round and stay up. its much better playing the likes of united and arsenal twice a season than once every few years.

for what reason mike?

to be beat yet again? or to watch the quality of their players?

we aint going to be on any sort of level footing with them until our owners invest proper, youth blah blah etc etc.

another 5 or 6 seasons should do it, and even then we will only be a thorn in their side at the most.

[mikehunt]

i just really like it up here. feels like its where we belong cos its how i grew up with us if you know what i mean.
so gutted we arent doing as well as i geuinley thought we would. but if we do stay up, what a season it will of been, so exciting, will be amazing maude, know what i mean.
