As a little comic diversion from all the misery here are some new phrases for your dictionary that QPR have created this season. Add some of your own if you fancy it. STAGNATIBILITY - What happens when a football club tries to bring stability but instead stagnates EDGE FUND - The money a rich owner spends out of desperation during a transfer window when a team is teetering on the brink of relegation BARTOON - A comic book character who spends time tweeting how rubbish everyone else is while destroying everything that is good around him to his own detriment. AIR ASIA - 80's synth pop band featuring Vince Clark and Andy Bell. SHAMBA - A player brought in at great expenses and fanfare who turns out to be unfit and out of form. ROBBED GREEN - The feeling when the job you think you have been employed for is given to someone else e.g. I can't believe it. I've been totally robbed green!MARK HUGE - A manager on exorbitant wages that a club cannot afford to remove from the payroll. HEATHROW - A catchall phrase for the location of any new stadium that a football club owner says is going to stay in the local area. MERCYNARY - A 30+ injury prone player that is signed on a long contract on high wages with the only visible reason being that the club felt sorry for them LEFTUS ROAD - A generic term for any football stadium where the team has departed leaving behind the heart and soul of the club TRYANING - A form of football training where the players try to get there on time but aren't bothered if they don't BUSINGWA - A form of transport used to take unwanted players away from the club. There is usually no shortage of fans who would volunteer to drive the busingwa.

That is so brilliant Blatant. Qualifies for one of the cleverest posts of the Premier league residency.

TAARABT - East German car with a reputation for solid reliability, but absolutely no flair (erm, hang on...)
See also:
TA RABBIT - expression of thanks to a player, generally used by fans who have trouble with foreign names
GALLEN - unit of measurement. Often used comparitivly, as in "you'd get ten Zamoras to the Gallen".
FERDINAND - this one is weird, as it has two completely contradictory meanings:
1. really great player, we wish we still had. 2. really bad player, we wish we didn't have
BIRCHAM - what many of the training staff would like to do to many of the players.

Welcome Sam, good work! Here's another batch GABBIDOH! - An exclamation made when your team have spent the entire season struggling for a decent centre back pairing only to see someone you released on a free transfer form half of a solid partnership which wins promotion to the Premiership. RAMAGING - The action of trimming a football squad of decent, loyal and capable players deemed surplus to requirements only to see them become a regular part of a side promoted to the Premiership. KENSAL GREEN - Located in the heart of London traversing the borders of Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham is a place where the lost souls find their rest before departing for a better place. No cheering and no celebration can be heard here. Instead there is only the thundering silence of dreams chased but not realised and hopes not fulfilled. The sad visitors to this place expect no joy, only the solemn duty of a weekly visit to a lost loved one. Once that love held such promise of a life lived in hope and glory together. The love has now faded, it's soul long since gone. The loved one is QPR, this is the Air Asia Stadium and next door is a cemetery. STOKE JOB - An act of unpleasant bodily intrusion involving a red hot poker, popular during the Spanish inquisition. What most QPR fans are wishing Mark Hughes will receive very soon. DEBTLESS - A state of such high debt that it can no longer be calculated, much the same concept as when a very expensive item is described as priceless. Also referred to as "debt free". ASHLEY YOUNG - Diving w*nker.
