Love this report!
Perfect title for the situation, and love this sentence: "Cifuentes has brought intelligence and tactics. Previously QPR thought these were little mints..." |

Comment | QPR slip further into the mire with dire Brum loss - Report
at 23:51:15
After the Watford match, I thought longball football isn't all that bad to watch. At least the dribbling happens in the top 3rd of the pitch, where it has some chance of making an impact.
After Birmingham, I know realise that when it is bad it is very very bad.
I don't understand why our forwards never won a header. It's like they weren't there.
If Lowe gets a 3 for that performance, some of the 0's and 2's from Tuesday night must have been absolutely shocking.
Clive, I'm considering upping my Patreon donation. You deserve a bonus for continuing to do great work in such unpleasant conditions. |

Great report, Clive.
Love this line: "QPR are like Ticketmaster – they’re an organisation that exists for one thing, which they’re not very good at" Haha... what a farce it is to be a fan!
It looked like the team were enjoying playing football for the first time in a long time. Perhaps that's the magic of having Illy and Willy back together. |

Love this bit, spot on: "inviting him into our lives would be like deciding you’re going to take up smoking in your late 30s" |

Wonderful write up to immortalise a brilliant evening. Particularly enjoyed these observations:
‘If you are going to do it, and I really wouldn’t advise you do, maybe Tina Turner’s hair circa 1987 isn’t the one for you. The mane swayed with the jerk of the neck. Even Gavin Ward notices things like that.’
‘Ward spent so long chatting so much irrelevant sh!t to so many people in the penalty box prior to the second delivery I thought I’d stumbled into some f*cking hideous industry cocktail party by mistake.’
‘Ball had been magnificent backing up Field’s monumental midfield effort. To have played so little football over the winter, and just step in here out of position in that situation and play like that… what a human. Big silly grin on his face, there was the usual yellow card and blow dart for an attack on the kraft service table. NO DOM.’

Comment | Chair magic frees QPR from Championship purgatory - Report
at 06:23:42
Go on, Clive! The way Albert lifted the game in the second half has to be worth a 9
Plus this turn is worth half a point:
Plus giving his boots to a young fan is another half a point
So by my reckoning that’s a fabled ten out of ten performance! First time ever! Well done, Uncs! |

What a difference a few wins make!
Last month my son was talking about changing his allegiance to Liverpool and asking why we supported QPR.
Today he walked to school singing:
Jingle Bells
Chair's got skills
Tekkers all the way
On what fun it is to see
Barbet slide away

"There were analogies to be had wherever you looked. All of them bleak."
This report and the last one were both crackers - capturing the agony and the ecstasy.
Bravo!

The football may be rubbish but the writing is excellent. The only A+ performance of the season.
Particularly enjoyed these descriptions:
"all the “lazy c*nt†shouts from people who mostly can’t peer far enough over their bellies to see their own dicks."
"Confidence wasn’t so much draining away as flooding out of him in a torrent." |

great write, up as always, Clive!
given the squadron of green-tracksuited minions, perhaps it is fairer to say it is a case of too many chiefs, too many Indians

Absolutely tremendous match report. I agree with joolsyp: 'This should win an award for sports journalism ... it's that good.'
As a new QPR fan, you match reports are half the pleasure of following the hoops and a great guide to what's going on. Keep up the good work!! I'm tempted to open a William Hill account with the promo code F20 to show my support.
