Reply		Your best and worst ever QPR moment witnessed as a fan and as an armchair fan !!
at 07:42 6 Jan 2025

Best;

3-1 against Sheffield Wed for promotion (fan)
2-0 against Arsenal-that Sansom rocket (fan)
5-5 against Newcastle (fan)
6-0 against C*****a (fan)
2-2 at Anfield (fan)
Zamora!!! (Armchair)

Worst;

Some game at Wembley in 1986 (fan)
Vauxhall Motors (fan)
That Cantona goal in Fergie time (fan)
0-5 to Wimbledon at Selhurst (fan)
At least not being there allows several other horrors to be forgotten

Can I give a shout out to a 3-0 against Palace at Selhurst. Ray Wilkins and Peter Reid (I think it was one of only 3 games they played together for us) ran the show. Palace were lucky to get nil.

Of course I remember the other classics, but my personal favourite is the 4-1 against Tottenham. And that Michael Nyman celebration of Stan to go with it

That Wimbledon one was bad. I also recall standing in the open terrace at the City Ground.

My list;

Raging Bull-brilliant performance by Robert de Niro
Chariots of Fire-told the story well-and that Vangelis music!
Bull Durham-good Kevin Kline performance
Forgotten the title, but the one about Jackie Robinson
Gregory’s Girl-just great fun
Bend it like Beckham was very well observed and touching
I thought Escape to Victory had its moments, while being rather far fetched

We use an Apple TV box with our Samsung TV (don’t bother with the built in stuff) and that has been fine.

That 2001 team was pretty rank. I think it is why the 2003/4 season was so great. It really felt we had got our team back. Holloway was god. He’s a strange bloke in some ways but at the time he was just what we needed.

Marti Cifuentes just might be the guy for us. I hope he gets the chance.

They give you a badge or something similar to wear when you go in at the gate. No badges and they kick you out.

That was a great video of Aonach Eagach, thanks for putting it up. There are so many other great scrambling/climbing routes in the highlands. My favourite was An Teallach-very memorable for Lord Berkeley’s Seat (look it up). I wimped out. Pinnacle Ridge on Skye is pretty full on too.

Reply		Line up of QPRs worst ever eleven
at 12:29 8 Oct 2024

Yes, I went to that game too. Thought Dykstra was decent and I still don’t know he was washed out.

My worst team would be;

Bankhole (that deep rooted fear whenever the ball went anywhere near him)
Ready (unready would be nearer the mark)
Warren (couldn’t pass or tackle)
Malcom (the slowest centre back I have ever seen-just edges out Gus Caesar)
Assou-Ekotto (the most uninterested player ever)
Park Jie Sung (terminally crocked)
Can’t remember his name-the guy who was nicking stuff from the dressing room (for team spirit purposes)
Iorfa(did his hamstring on the first run he made)
Wright Phillips (taking the money under false pretences)
Hateley (introduced to the crowd on crutches and it didn’t get any better)
Koejoe (looked like Les Ferdinand while they were standing still)

Manager; Redknapp

Have been a few times (also before the wall came down).

The Pergamon Museum is a must see.

If you can spare a whole day take the S Bahn to Potsdam and visit Sans Soucci. There is a frequent shuttle bus from Potsdam Hbf (main station).

Prenzlauer Berg area for the hipster bars.

If you can manage to book it, the dome above the Reichstag (parliament building).

Ed found a really fun bar near Friedrichstrasse station that had a trading room vibe. The beer prices kept changing and every so often there would be a ‘market crash’ with all beers about 2/3 off. Brilliant.


Enjoy!

I wonder what the attendance was. The Gallowgate End rather sparsely populated. When did the roof disappear at the Leazes End? I noticed there were no railings at the front. You could just run on to the pitch-ax a few of them did at the end.

Thanks for putting this up. A great trip down memory lane.

Went to the first game at Wembley and a Gisnts game in NY.

It’s not for me. Goes on too long and you can’t really see what’s going on.

Also in both cases the game just petered out as the winning side wasted time. And it was bond jarring cold in NY and poured down at Wembley.

Baseball is my US sport. Ticked up 5 parks now and I love it.

Somewhere in Brighton (we were visiting grandparents in Seaford) in 1964 or thereabouts for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was the first film my mother had ever seen as well.
