| Forum Thread | Spotting of talent at a very young age at 08:51 26 Jul 2024
Sorry to put this up here, but saw this posted on social media. And can't clarify obviously, it's bona fide, one hundred percent correct but if true hopefully our new head of methodology can achieve this. Also it's from the Chelsea academy, but listing the Chelsea academy players who joined between ages 6 and 8. Age when they joined Chelsea academy: Mason Mount - 6 Declan Rice - 7 Ruben Loftus-Cheek - 8 Reece James - 6 Tammy Abraham - 8 Marc Guehi - 7 Fikayo Tomori - 8 Callum Hudson-Odoi - 7 Conor Gallagher - 8 Samuel Iling-Junior - 8 Tino Livramento - 7 Jamal Musiala - 8 Dominic Solanke - 7 Trevoh Chalobah - 8 Tariq Lamptey - 8 Lewis Hall - 8 Michael Olise - 8 Dujon Sterling - 8 Armando Broja - 8 Levi Colwill - 8 |
| Forum Thread | T20 Cricket at 22:40 18 Jul 2024
Been watching Surrey since around 1980 and what a change the game has made. T20 more like baseball and with the razzmatazz. Lots of people fallen out of the office, lots of families all going and less old boys falling asleep doing the times crossword. Went to Surrey Hampshire at the Oval tonight. Sam Curran hit winning six almost out the ground with such power and reached his century with the last shot of the game. Will Jack's hit first ball of the Surrey innings for six and then caught on the boundary attempting to clear the boundary with the second ball of the innings. Brixton DJ in the outer grounds. Boycott, Tavare, Edrich it is not In a game where one to eleven can clear the ropes, it's not the cricket of yesteryear. But was great entertainment. But a different sport from previous decades most definitely |
| Forum Thread | BIden v Trump - and we thought our options were poor !! at 10:41 29 Jun 2024
Has anyone seen the "Car Crash" performance of Joe Biden in his live TV debate v Trump. Many times, he lost his train of thought. Often, he was.out of breath and many times he wasn't focusing. This man is the so called leader of the developed world. And he is going to get trounced, big time by Donald Trump, who could be beaten quite easily by a mediocre politician. I really can't see how Americans can feel about their leaders in anyway that is positive whatsoever. But this debate was shocking. [Post edited 29 Jun 10:42]

Cifuentes's Rangers v Southgate's England If Slovenia can nullify our threat so easily, could the might of Loftus Road do a job on this group of players and manager. |
| Forum Thread | Sad for Lyndon - But good luck to the jocks this evening at 19:52 14 Jun 2024
Real shame for Lyndon that he does not have an appearance in this massive game for Scotland tonight. Whatever we all think of Lyndon's goal record as yet for us, the man is a trier and deserved this amazing opportunity all his Scotland team mates have this evening. Good luck to the tartan army tonight !! |
| Forum Thread | Strikers at 10:16 14 Jun 2024
Feel if the boy has anything Rayan Kolli - this could be his year to step up. Appreciate he is very young and realistically needs a loan but as with Sinclair last season he wasn't afforded the opportunity to go out on loan, due to our lack of resources available in the centre forward position. With Sinclair, Lyndon and Frey all more than likely to be here , next season, can't see any of these three improving much. Kolli is reasonably untested but promise is a wonderful thing. It's sad really that we are in this position currently with our attacking positions but this is as it is at the moment. Would we be able to offload one of the other three - potentially but unlikely I feel. Hope we could and bring at least one and preferably two more options in the forward positions. God knows where from though. Its the eternal holy grail that seems ever elusive. I do sincerely hope we are not starting with Dykes, Armstrong, Frey and Kolli as the four squad centre forwards but if we could unload one or two, anyone any ideas for our four main strikers next season ?? And no I am not working for the club because surely the club do have a scooby about what they need to - don't they ?? |
| Forum Thread | Rob Burrows Rugby League Hero at 19:03 2 Jun 2024
Five foot five and a tiny frame and yet a star in Rugby League, struck down cruelly by the horrible disease that is Motor Neurone Disease. Likewise with Doddie Weir who similarly sadly suffered, he was positive and a total inspiration even in ill health. Again people will question the effects of a quite brutal combat sport in many respects but Rob has certainly had quite a life. Tragic though to pass at only 41 leaving his wife and three young children. Makes you realise even in small moments that life is precious and everything is definitely a matter of perspective Rest in Peace little big man ... |

| Forum Thread | Players we should have got rid - way before we did at 14:45 12 May 2024
On similar topic as one staring who we should have kept, who did we hang onto way too long I suspect this list will be way longer than the ones we should have kept Appreciate contract lengths, wages, sale prices etc mean more difficult at times to get rid !!! First on, I would have off loaded one particular player who had a realistic chance of getting rid to receive a fee and sellable on similar or better contract elsewhere. Stand up Mr Joey Barton !!! Was at QPR for four seasons, one on loan but a bad egg, creating even more dysfunction at a bad time to be a QPR fan. Unbelievably divisive character and not nearly as good as he himself believed himself to be !!! [Post edited 12 May 14:49]

| Forum Thread | Are all these extra EFL games on Sky full coverage or on red button at 09:44 10 May 2024
Anyone know ??? Not speaking for myself as if am not there, watch QPR plus But seeing as our fixture schedule will be so random, is the coverage red button standard Ie one camera only, and no replays Am assuming as so many matches going to be at very weird times, surely they will view in FULL COVERAGE as such disruption for RED BUTTON coverage would just smack of utter contempt for the FANBASE [Post edited 10 May 9:45]

| Forum Thread | Players we should have kept at 09:37 10 May 2024
I will start off with Conor Masterson Would have been a decent back up centre half and whenever I saw him play for ourselves always seemed to put in a decent shift Player of the season at league two Gillingham this year and six goals also. Admittedly it's league two but I could have definitely seen him as a squad player. Easy to say after the event but I did actually think he could have done well here and was surprised he never really got many opportunities here. |
| Forum Thread | Last game for Ilias Chair at 07:49 5 May 2024
Possibly jail / sale Let's hope neither but in this run in, he has been unplayable The goal yesterday was absolutely outstanding What a strike !!! And the opposition simply couldn't get the ball off him But without him this team / squad is much less The key player but the possibilities for this being his last game for us are very real. My personal view , I would be happy if he stayed here for his whole career At times though, what a player. Will be looked back on fondly in years to come as a future QPR legend |
| Forum Thread | How far ahead do QPR need to be for you to feel safe from losing !! at 13:32 28 Apr 2024
Bloke near me at match, still felt we could lose when we went three nil up in 74th minute. Leeds had done nothing all game, we dominated and were great at the back, yet he still felt with 15 minutes or so to go, we could lose. I think I was OK after about 60 minutes at two nil. I know it's QPR but four goals in fifteen minutes - am not that pessimistic myself !!! |

Mathematically impossible ! PaddyPower and Betfair offering this price now. But you just know sadly some mug punter, is going to hand over the cash. It's called exploiting the vulnerable. An addicted gambler doesn't sometimes read the form or possibilities. This really should be an illegal !!! [Post edited 27 Apr 10:59]

| Forum Thread | Possible Leeds fans retribution at 15:52 26 Apr 2024
If we win, say with a dodgy decision in last few minutes of the game, do we believe Leeds fans will remain calm. There has always been an element of people that attach themselves to Leeds fanbase that exists for the thuggery. Am sure tonight, we will witness a massive police presence, perhaps a number of mounted police, although that's debatable after this week's earlier incident Do we feel it's best to rush home or wait some time, all who are getting to the game by public transport. I never go to a game these days thinking I could be mixed up in the middle of a bit of nonsense but if any game is likely, this is probably the one. If I was a minimum wage steward in the away end, think I may wait to have my evening supper until after the match !!!!!! [Post edited 26 Apr 15:53]

| Forum Thread | My last dream was Dykes hatrick and win at 19:10 25 Apr 2024
Well he scored and we won one nil This dream is we have a pen in last minute to draw 4 all with Leeds Armstrong hits the bar , it rebounds back and twenty five yards out on the volley overhead Cook thunders the ball into the net My last dream worked although the dramatic nature was slightly reduced but outcome was good It WILL happen again If it is as effective as the last one, we equalise with last kick of the game.. JOB DONE AND WE MOVE ON !!!! [Post edited 25 Apr 19:13]

| Forum Thread | The centre back pairing has been huge in our Recovery at 20:10 20 Apr 2024
Obviously Marti gets massive plaudits for an Incredible turn around at the club But having Cook and Clarke-Salter at the back, in some games, like today, you feel the clean sheet is never in doubt. Clarke Salter always seems to take the right option and he also has some class to his gme also. Cook has been a fantastic leader and the two of them have been able to marshal.our defence with skill and belief Cook has used all.of his experience and is a very decent centre back at this level after a few years managing well in the premier league Clarke Salter would be at a level higher than he represents at QPR if he had not so far, had an injury ravaged career But there is a confidence about this pairing and also they both complement each other's styles Along with Dunne emerging as a decent right back, I think this solidity and calmness at the back has been massive Well done our centre backs...
