Leicester City v Q.P.R Match Type Thread. on 18:09 - Jan 9 by qprxtc
I approve of your nitpicking Vancouver (soon to be a region of the US?🤔😂).
However, Spurs are reckoned to be the only non league winners of the FA Cup as they were in the Southern League in 1901.
The Southern League was considered non league back then. They (Spurs) then f ucked us up when they applied to join the Football League and got in even though we won the Southern League in 1908.

Our achievement of being a non-league team reaching the FA Cup QF was unequalled for over a century. Then 103 years later Lincoln City (then non-league) reached the quarters. Curiously (well curious to me anyway) I remember watching their early kick off 1-0 giant-killing cup victory over Burnley to match our 2-1 giant-killing cup victory over Birmingham in 1914 … in a pub in Birmingham just before going to see the Rs win 4-1 in 2017. Confused? It’s early.

Take a step back from the edge and take a deep breath. The gravity pull of Third Round exits is stronger than you think. It's the force that helps keep us grounded as QPR fans. As Marti keeps saying, it's important to stay humble.
Thanks fella, that's strangely reassuring and I think we can all relax a smidge.

It’s QPR. It is the 3rd round of the FA Cup. We’ll lose. Haven’t we lost at this stage 51 times post war and only Plymouth have lost more times? We’re basically the second worst league side at the FA Cup. It doesn’t matter who we play and what they’re like. We’ll lose.
If Marti can get us on a genuine FA Cup run to the quarters or something, then he is a miracle worker.

They are more miserable than we were before Xmas !!!
No wonder they asked Clive to join them :-)
Slightly fcking ridiculous, as I gently suggested to them.
In the last ten years they've had two promotions, won the Premier League, won the FA Cup at Wembley, played Champions League and Europa League. Now they've gone back to what they always were before and it's "as low as I've ever felt about my football club".
I'd give my left bollock for one Europa League group campaign. If you told me over the next ten years QPR would get promoted, win the Premier League, win the FA Cup, play in Europe, but would then go back to being sht forever more I would snap your arm off at the shoulder.

Our overlord, Northernr, is guest-starring in this Leicester preview of the QPR match:
To quote Clive " just one day" I hope rangers play a full team and go for them. If it doesn't work and we are losing sub them and give them a rest. Me and my boys will be 3 of the 4500 that would appreciate that. Also did you notice Clive rubbing eyes at the stress amd pain caused by the burden of following a nutty club like rangers . Ahhhhh such fun, let's hope for a barnstorming performance from QPR A close game leading to a nail biting penatly shoot out .... we might sneak it.

The entitlement of these pair is flabbergasting. Who tf do they think they are 😂😂 especially the fat lad, thick as they come. Even after their trophies, they’re the runt of the East Midlands and will float back to mediocrity in no time.
Missed the Middlesbrough away game but the following season I was there as we succumbed in round 3 to a higher division team-WBA-2-3. The following season I was at 2nd division-Championship-Huddersfield as the R's crashed out to lower league opposition-1-2- in round 3. I was also at 3rd Division-todays League 2-Doncaster as we were humiliated 0-1 in 1985's 3rd round. And Rangers completed a hat-trick of 3rd round defeats to lower league opposition in 1986 with a 0-1 away defeat to 2nd division-Championship- Carlisle on a Monday night. I left home at 11.30am on the Monday and got back home at 8.30 Tuesday morning. But 38 years ago to the day-10th January- we had a 3rd round home tie to....Leicester. The R's turned on the style and gave the Foxes a 5-2 thumping. Luton were overcome in round 4 after a replay but a 1-2 reversal to Leeds away in round 5 ended our hopes of another trip to Wembley. Although that afternoon was more about getting back to London in one piece rather than disappointment that the cup run was over!

There really should be some sort of mental cognitive test when you admit to being a QPR supporter
2 years ago I swore off ever doing an FA cup match again.... Fleetwood.... I relented then after swearing off from the Peterborough fiasco the year before... but Fleetwood was the last straw
So Bournemouth last year, stayed home nice and warm, and smug in the knowledge that I had nailed this FA cup old turkey....
OK missed the family day out, and the craic with the lads around us, but it wasn't that painful.
Then ... and I blame Marti for this.... Tuesday a text... Leicester Saturday?
Ignored, perhaps if ignore they will go away, leave me alone. Then yesterday a call this time... got you a ticket leaving at 8.30 ....can't ignore that.... hmmm let you know
Not even an intervention from Mrs MinT, as stopped me.... Yes will be there, the Bustards have got me again.... bloody Club!!!!
So expecting 4pm Saturday to be totally p!ssed off, after we have played the development squad again Leicester's D team.... and lost .... facing adrive home... but just but..... this might be the year
Heart 2-0 us.... joy uncontained.... head 0-2 and totallfinished with all this.... until the next time

I'm watching this out of curiosity. Winning the Premier League was always the worst thing in some respects to happen to Leicester because it sent expectations and perceptions of what they are as a club through the roof.
Interesting talk about the owners - I think in reality Top as they call him wants out and is trying to limit the funding. Like many rich kids, they don't want to see their inheritance disappearing into one giant money pit, in this case a football club. For Vichai it was a convenient place to keep lots of money outside of Thailand where unfriendly authorities could exert more control over it (as the cynic might believe...)

I thought they came across well, pragmatic enough and certainly not condescending.

I've never forgotten that Huddersfield game.
You were very exposed to the elements in the open away end in their old ground. I recall biting sleet throughout, and a howling gale that I swear to this day changed direction at half time, leaving us playing into it both halves...
It's going to be bitterly cold tomorrow so I hope the players stretch and warm up extensively before the game. Thermals probably wouldn't be a bad idea either based on what's been happening in the Villa vs WHU game. We don't need any more non contact injuries.
