Hard life being a pro footballer

[Simon Smith]

QPR had to make a 194-mile coach trip back to London after their defeat at Manchester United because they couldn't book out a train carriage - and Harry Redknapp cheekily blamed United supporters travelling back to the capital.

The poor poor things welcome to the real world!

Seems a bit amateurish to be honest. I mean in cycling, every team has their own bus, which is specifically fitted out to cater for the needs of the riders after they've finished a race. It'll have all sorts of things designed to ensure their recovery is as good as possible.

As well as an arsenal of needles and frozen blood bags.

To be honest, if I was a multi millionaire, I would be pretty upset having to get the bus home after work

I don't think they were on the #54 to Shepherds Bush.

They just got beat 4-0 and they expect 'all the trimmings' they shoulda stuck 'em on a Train that had 10 changes and got in at 3 a.m.

We need to do a tv advert.

Filmed in black and white with a sad song playing in the background.

First class train carriages for jarg teams please.

The choice of a luxury coach with nice leather seats, loads of legroom and only your team-mates on board vs a Virgin Train to Euston calling at Crewe and Rugby, full of mouth-breathers bashing you as they make their way to the food carriage, first class or not, I know which option I'd choose.

Oh I don't go on buses old boy. They're full of poor people.

Id rather pay 18 pound an hour in Liverpool One to park than get on Mersey Rail! haha

no doubt; you and your ilk are too busy dressing up in lycra and running red lights on a 1000quid bike...but then again the last time I went on a bus was the old 46 to the match

I don't know about anyone else but coach journeys home from sport (participating or otherwise) have usually been quite enjoyable for me personally because we always just got bevvied, so I don't know what the fuss is about here.
