Reply | The Totally Football Show podcast - today"s episode has amazing QPR stat!
at 10:54 8 Nov 2024
For the record this is our how we achieved the best goals pe game ratio in European competition.
1976–77 UEFA Cup
First round Norway SK Brann won 4–0 (H), won 0–7 (A)
Second round Czechoslovakia ŠK Slovan Bratislava drew 3–3 (A), won 5–2 (H)
Third round West Germany 1.FC Köln won 3–0 (H) lost 1–4 (A) won on away goals Quarter-finals Greece AEK Athens won 3–0 (H), 0–3 (A) Lost on penalties
1984–85 UEFA Cup First Round Iceland Reykjavik won 0-3 (A) won 4–0 (H) Second Round Yugoslavia FK Partizan Belgrade won 6–2 (H), lost 0-4 (A)* *went out on away goals rule.
No problem scoring goals in those days!
Oh I wish we could go back in time and bring one of our strikers from those days into today's team!!! |

After all the doom and gloom following Tuesday' s result, something to raise the spirits!
An amazing stat from back in time when we were actually good!
It is hard to believe, but QPR hold the record for the best goals per game ratio in the history of UEFA club competions - since ever!
39 goals in 12 games at an average of 3.25 a game!
Those were the days!!!
(You can listen to this between minutes 53.46 and 56.22 of the podcast)

Thread | The Game Podcast
at 16:18 1 Mar 2024
Following on from the very nice article by Martin Samuel that appeared in last Suday's Times, which I highlighted in another thread, Martin talks about Stan at length in yesterday's edition of the Game Podcast It starts at around 32 mins and finishes at 42.30. He is very complimentary about Stan, the 75/76 team which finished second to Liverpool, and also references the Michael Nyman concerto "Final Score" about Stan and our great team. Well worth a listen. |

Thread | Totally Football Show Podcast with James Richardson
at 16:03 26 Feb 2024
I listened to this podcast this morning. Not one mention of the passing of our Stan!
I have posted the following on the Totally Football Show feed on X
"Regular listener to the pod. Very disappointed that you could not spare a couple of minutes to mention the sad passing of Stan Bowles an icon of the 70s and one of the most skilful and entertaining players to grace the game. Why was this?"
I do not expect to receive any response!

I know a lot of people on this forum have a low opinion of Martin Samuel and think he is anti QPR, but to be fair to him he wrote a very nice article about Stan in today's Times. I know it is behind a paywall, but it can be accessed for free on X. Well worth a read. |

Thread | Ainsworth ranked last on The Second Tier Podcast.
at 19:04 13 Jul 2023
The Second Tier podcast (which I listen to regularly) have just posted a new episode today where they look at all the 24 managers in the Championship and rank them in order of how much they would want them in charge of their football club.
Today's episode covers the managers from 13 to 24th.
You may be surprised (or not!) to find out that they rank our Gareth at bottom of the pile.
I f you want to listen, he is the first they talk about. And they are not very complimentary!
I normally find the two guy's who host the podcast, Ryan Dilks and Justin Peach as very knowledgeable and fair.
Would be interested to hear others thoughts after they have listened. It will only take up 10 minutes of your time to listen to the Gareth section. |

Thread | Harry Redknapp on the latest W12 Podcast
at 18:31 20 Feb 2022
I was never very keen on Harry as our manager when he managed Rangers, but I was surprised that he came over very well in this podcast. He had interesting things to say about Adel, acknowledging his great talent but bemoaning the fact that he did not keep himself fit enough, and comparing him to DiCano who he said was a great trainer. He was very complementary about Tony Fernandes, but did say that Tony allowed certain players (which he wouldn’t name) to express their views to him on tactics and selection. (Something, which clearly shouldn’t ever happen). It is a very interesting listen. Highly recommended. |

Sorry! Yes, I meant Glen Roeder It came up on the BBC website in error today a year after the event! I remember now that he sadly passed away in 2021. Put it down to a senior moment!!! |

One of our greatest captains and most talented defenders dies from a brain tumour. Died far too young. |

Thread | Why was Dickie not one of the penalty takers?
at 19:12 22 Sep 2021
All our penalty takers did great, but I was very surprised that Dickie did not take one, considering the great goals he he has scored this season. I would have thought he would have been chosen ahead of a young player like Duke Mackenna, and especially Luke Amos, considering it was his first game for the first team since his injury. In his interview on the website Luke admitted he hadn't even practiced taking a penalty before the game! In the circumstances It just seemed strange. |

He mentions that after his injury he suffered from depression and started drinking heavily. He said some of his teammates made fun of him and called him an alcoholic, and that he received no support for his problem from the Club. I like to think that things have moved on from those days and that players are now looked after much better. |

One thing he says in the podcast I found very disturbing. He says that one day he was leaving a game with his six year old son when one of a group of men who were drinking outside the Springbok threw a beer glass which hit a wall about two yards from him and his child. Whoever was responsible for that act cannot be called a supporter of our club. Unfortunately all teams have such nutters. To be fair to Rowan, despite his unhappy time at QPR, he says he holds no amnosity to the Club or the supporters, and describes “QPR as a Club which he holds close to his heart.” |

It is certainly an interesting listen Clive. He goes into detail about everything you refer to in your post. |
