BF: And also, the game has been announced that it is going to be live on the BBC. I suppose that’s no surprise, given that most matters at either end are sorted out.
KB: No, but I mean it will be a great game anyway because we play good football and QPR have been outstanding this season, so it will be great entertainment. Let’s hope McCartney turns up on the day. I see he’s rather unwisely been giving an interview in which he says the players are tired, a sense of jadedness among certain players has proved telling. Well, I don’t quite understand what he means by that because when we play QPR we’ll have played 50 games but everybody at the club will have played at least 48; 46 league games and two cup matches. I don’t understand what he means by players being ‘out on their feet’ after playing so much this season. Certainly doesn’t apply to him. As far as I can see, looking at the fixture list, as far as I know, he has only played twice in the last six games. So I don’t think fatigue can contributes to his contribution, which I haven’t been particularly impressed with and it might be better of course if he was (counts) two, three, four, five, six, yes he’s played two games in the last six. As I understand it, he has been fined more than once for turning up late in training. So perhaps if he turned up on time and showed a bit more commitment then he wouldn’t feel quite so tired. I think it’s a rubbish excuse for him and anybody else who wants to swing that one.
