The Anecdote has run out of Madri, but they're off to change the barrel..

Breaking news; Just finished breakfast and son needs a lift to school. Then off to Sports Direct to buy some boots for the all weather pitch for walking football this evening (swore I'd never play the game). All happening today. Updates to follow....

Am I straying into Jimmy Hill territory, where he made Ginola react like that when he was extolling the genius of Rumanian tactics, with players having their hair dyed the same colour, as it would give them an advantage when passing to a team-mate?!

Can't stomach the thought of it, but they'll be skint again within no time at all. No TV money/coverage/PL share/crowds probably all under 4,000 (except for the big fanfare of 'Wasps 2, the return' (where 4,024 turn up, including 3,999 free tickets). Wouldn't mind turning up at Cov RFC v Wasps...

Fair enough, but do you really believe that? If you had to put your last tenner on a result, be honest!

But would you do it?. If I was MR, I would.

We have a game against Blackburn, with a dubiously fit team (illness,etc.) which we may well lose due to the aforementioned - but we still have to go for it. This is followed by a Saturday game against Watford, who - even if we were at full strength (unlikely) could beat us comfortably. Then, we...

Agree with @Great_Expectations and @Brighton Sky Blue comments. If illness is as has been reported, then credit to the players in general for the effort that they put in. I have seen a lot worse displays from a City team (when supposedly fit). Disappointed (and thought we'd be hammered after...

It is one of those things that happens. We could have had another 2 x £5m players in the squad, but that doesn't stop them being sick either. In the big scheme of things, the stadium situation and our direction thereafter tops everything. I think we need to keep our powder dry until all becomes...

First half I couldn't believe we came in 1-0 up Second half we played better (especially going forward) Overall they deserved it, but it was a decent game (if you're a neutral!)

Same - although think they can pay on the gate? Be surprised/disappointed if they couldn't better Rotherham's midweek following of just over1,000.

Could it be Eccles replacing Dabo and Kane in for Bidwell (if he's had a knock)? or Eccles rested (may have a knock) ? Is Palmer being rested for O'Hare? Or even Allen ? Lots of games, so need to utilise squad.

Fingers crossed. Hoping a slightly soggier pitch might impede Mr Patino's silky skills too (get a few sliding tackles in on him and hope he doesn't fancy it as much!) I always find myself worrying about the opposition's better players and ironically, I'd completely ignored Barlaser from...

Or........ better for Hamer's zingers. our rampaging midfielders and Gyok's mud wrestling.

Protests on the hill if they take over?

Blues looked very solid/hard/dirty and played with good energy. QPR didn't like it/couldn't handle it. You can see QPR have some slick players if you give them time on the ball (Chair in particular) Good number of QPR fans - no noise from them whatsoever.

JCS starts for QPR at Blues (goes down injured at 17 mins - mmm?) Update: Goes back on pitch - subbed at 20 mins
