I honestly don't geddit!

All this hype about our crap football ???. Is it true or has it just become a mantra because some of the the media and Brazil say it is? Kind of Emperor's New Clothes syndrome?

Yet I watch other Championship games on TV, I watch other Championship sides lose against us at The Brit, and I honestly can't see the difference. Like us, they play long ball; they play set-pieces. Like us, they can pass it about a bit and do some nice, one-touch triangles in the midfield. The difference is, that when they do the former, it gets ignored; when we do the former it get presented as our trademark style. When we do the latter it gets ignored; when they do the latter, it's Copacobana Time and let's all have a love-in about the skill on show in the Championship. FFS! In most games, the opposition even get more yellows than us (excluding the PNE débacle).

This afternoon's Sky pundits will be harping on, no doubt with the familiar theme. It'll be 'Beauty and the Beast'. We'll be described as 'solid', 'physical', 'hardworking', 'big', 'effective', 'powerful', 'well-organized' but will not be accorded any adjectives or accolades that amount to 'skillful', 'deserving' or even 'good'.

But they'll be up QPR's arses with stuff about how they should deserve to be up there and are better equipped to go into the Prem because of their money and their fancy foreign manager.

Me neither.

You can only put it down to jealousy.

Its true we havent really murdered anyone but then neither has anyone done that to us.

It should help us in the long run because if I was in that dressing room today Id be fired up. Lets hope they are

They don't want teams like us in the Premier League and it's nothing to do with our supposed style of football!

Well, we seem to be giving them some ammunition today ??? ???
