    no not at all...i said at the beginning of this season we would be bottom 6.....i don't raise my expectations too high...the fall can be a painful one.....
    i am willing to wait....appreciate things more that way instead of buying our way out.

        When I was growing up Liverpool had all the money and won all the trophies. I never ever felt like supporting them. Now Chelsea are in that position I don't feel any differently. Why should I?

        Are you asking am I jealous of their success? No. Am I envious of them? No.

        Just because it's the easy option for kids to do doesn't make it the right one. Never ever regretted being a hoop.

            I like supporting a club and "going through the rough with the smooth" and not supporting a club full of arrogant whingeing mercenaries. Which is what their success has bought them. So no, not envious.

              Only thing I envy is travelling abroad for european games. But still wouldn't get me supporting anybody else.

                  In honesty, if you are asking (which essentially I think you are) had I grown-up from the day I genuinely started taking an interest in football @6 years old (I'm now 53), supporting a 'big' club with a lot of success ahead during my time on this planet then I would have to say I wish I'd grown up Chelsea-mad. But I didn't. I grew up Leeds-mad, until I started going to QPR when I was 13 in 1970. By the time I was 14 in 1971, I was QPR-mad. That is life, as is the fact that since I was 6 I've always hated Chelsea. At that time, as now, Leeds and Chelsea were big rivals. Except they are not obviously such big rivals on the pitch as they once were. Now I'm largely indifferent to Leeds, but I hope they don't get promoted this year. Think we'll have it easier next season if someone like Norwich, Swindon and Milwall get promoted.

                    It's a British thing. Always back the underdog!

                    I support the R's because of where I was born. If I had been born nearer Chelsea than QPR, I probably would have supported Chelsea, and I don't apologise for that, but do I for one minute regret supporting QPR ... Hell No..
                    When I talk to anyone else re football and it turns out they support one of the big four, I can't take them seriously

                      Don't come out with the **** up the road rubbish honestly would you rather be a Chelsea fan with all the excitement or a good old Rs man happy to survive in the championship???
                      You are what you are, why do we support any team its because its in your blood. I would say by the age of 12 most people make up their minds who they will support and they stay with that team until they die. If we all supported the team that was always winning things how boring would that be. I work and know a few Chelsea fans and all of them can't cope with being beaten, they find it very difficult. Even if QPR fell into the Blue Square Premier league my team wuld be QPR. Incidentally I started supporting QPR in 1973 after a brief spell of supporting Chelsea (after their cup win in 70), Chelsea were a 1st div side and QPR were in the old 2nd div.

                      So in answer to the original question, I am happy being a QPR fan. There is enough excitement as well as disappointment to keep me going til I die.

                        What a weirdo??!!!!

                        I actually have man united as my 2nd team and I don't really like them but if they can stop chels cum winning the league then that is great news.

                        Are you for real?
                        I played sunday league football today.

                        Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

                        I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

                        We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

                          QPR obviosly. I have more affinity for any football fan of smaller clubs. It's more like we are an important part of our team. An exclusive club. Fans of Chelsea, p[roper old school fans are detached from the new fans and don;t like what their club now represents. Yes they like trophies, but identity has changed.

                          Oh - and they are filthy vermin.

                            well

                            i think i became a qpr fan because my dad took me to loftus road as a four year old,so i got hooked he could have took me to brentford or chelsea and yes i would happily be a chelsea fan now if that was the case
                            but i dream of blue and white hoops every night so i can only really think of myself as a ranger,but LIFE GOES ON,thank god he didnt take me to brentford
