Then we can say in March we beat the Champions of England and in April we beat the Champions of Europe (ha ha ha) and both by the same scoreline … 4 flippin’ 0 !!!
My first QPR game. Away in SW6. Stan was the first R’s player I noticed. His performance that day mesmerised me. He had style, swagger, and the skills to pay the (bookmaker’s) bills. Every time he got the ball (I was in the Shed) the home crowd booed and called him every cuss under the sun - he didn’t give a fk. He was part footballer. Part rock star. Even before the first half finished he was my idol. The anti-hero. There were 11 (12?) QPR players on the pitch that day and I love ‘em and could (probably) name ‘em all but if there was no Stan there may have been no QPR for me. Stan was, is, and will always be the man 🙏🏼
Does anyway have any memories of the game? There’s no footage of it. I remember it being a proper humdinger ding-dong London derby. 3-3. Stan definitely scored. My (unreliable) memory tells me in spectacular fashion from outside the box.
Fifty years later and just another uneventful QPR day. Here’s to the next 50.
Like a lot of you, I’m sure, Ive spent the past 24 hours genning up on our man Marti. I’ve ingested so much tactical technical knowledge that it’s oozing from my cerebellum and trickling out of my ears. Inverted fullbacks, asymmetrical number eights, oscillating presses, semi-permeable through balls, gaussian set-pieces, roving pentacular midfield nano-presses, throw-ins! throw-ins that reach your team-mates!
I’m prepared to be patient and for there be a period of transition, but serious question, how much effective knowledge, which can be immediately applied, can he impart to the team in the four full days between being appointed and his first game away at Rotherham on Saturday?
I’m fascinated to know how we’ll line up Saturday and who will be the personnel. I’m just wondering how much info he can expect to give them in such a short space of time without people’s heads exploding.
Those in the know have said he’s half been expecting to be appointed Rs manger for some time so he’s been keeping an eye on our performances (his ribs must be aching) so possibly he has an immediate plan in place. I just wonder how much he can expect to transform the team in the space of four days? Just asking cos we could do with the points.
Any ST holders on the automatic cup game scheme? Have you been notified of anything? Is it being uploaded on e-season ticket or paper-one sent in post? I’ve heard zilch. Asking cos if it’s been sent in post I’ll go through all my unopened junk mail and bill-looking letters rather than contact the box-office.
Sorry to bring up a QPR request and interrupt the convos on ULEZ, Celtic, Steely Dan (FFS), Karl Read (whoever he is) and the Women’s football 😆🙏🏼
Following on from Ned Kennedy’s wish to have more players with animal surnames here’s a creature-based starting XI. This was more difficult than I expected but does have four Rs connections.
Tom Heaton Mark Beevers Morgan Fox (Go Foxy!) Bobby Finch Dan Gosling Geoff Pike Chris Eagles Troy Parrott Geoff Horsefield Steve Bull Andy Shr-Impey
Squad/ Squid keeper: Billy The Fish
Peter Bonetti ‘The Cat’ nearly made it. But if he’s in so is ‘Mad Dog’ Martin Allen.
Saudi Third-Division side Al-Shukup. Money has played no part in this decision.The training facilities are top-notch. I’m a big fan of sand. And Elvis does the club song. Just too good to turn down. Seeya.
