A great read.
QPR couldn't even manage a whimper, let alone a bang. Instead they were relegated from the Premier League to laughter – José Bosingwa's as he sauntered down the tunnel after Sunday's 0-0 draw at Reading. It's been a wretched couple of seasons at Loftus Road, and I can't recall a group of players – with a couple of exceptions – being held in such contempt by the fans. Even when Rangers went down from the top flight in 1996, the players escaped without much ire: everyone knew they weren't good enough; no one thought they didn't care enough.
This season, though, there has been rage to accompany the despair. Everywhere you turn, there's something to kick against, some fresh evidence of incompetence or arrogance or blindness to reality. Some Rangers fans direct their ire one way, some another – there's no shortage of things to be unhappy about. So this is a personal list – the next fan's might read very differently.
