Are we the shithouses? Preview20th Dec 2024 20:52 QPR bring their bizarrely effective brand of possession-less football back to Loftus Road on Saturday to face a Preston team that’s made something of an art of doing plenty with not a lot in recent years, particularly against Rangers.3
Hope you’re all well, looking for a QPR fan to jump on a. Podcast recording ahead of our match next week, preferably tomorrow evening around 8:30 but can do any other time if it suits

39 days since our last nonsense - Perryripheral Thoughts20th Dec 2024 16:31 Alex Perry is back to review a month when things started to look up in QPR land, with Zan Celar scoring goals and Jimmy Dunne getting a 'serious business' haircut.0
I'm just trying to buy a couple of tickets and the QPR site doesn't like my mobile number and keeps saying it's a landline - it's not. Tried a few things but nothing I do seems to work. Any ideas as I can't get any further.
I’m assuming it’s Arsenal’s decision to arrange the 4th Round FA Youth Cup Tie with the Rs for Saturday 18th January. 5pm KO.
On the same day QPR first XI play away at Plymouth at 12.30 (London to Plymouth in 2 hours for kick off?)
The disdain they show for their own supporters and youth players is even worse - the Arsenal first XI are at home to Villa at 5.30.
Why not play the game midweek like most clubs do? I was expecting the game to be at Boreham Wood which it is and with a bit of PR they could have got a decent crowd along.
I thought I’d accepted that money had fcuked everything up and I’m surprised I’m incensed by this. Clueless body-trafficking puppy-farm visit-Rwandacorporate-entity excuse of a football club.
Drawing, drawing, drawing towards freedom - Opposition Profile19th Dec 2024 22:59 The only team that's drawn more than QPR in the Championship this season is our opponent this Saturday, Preston North End, as they come to terms with the predictable departure of Ryan Lowe and steadying influence of Paul Heckingbottom - @Josh_McLoughlin is our oppo fan.2
As far as I am aware we have 9 key players OOC next Summer. Dunne, Cook, Fox, Paal, Colback, Chair, Anderson, Frey and Kolli. Isn't it about time the club offered new deals to those they need to keep. I 'd be prepared to let Fox, , Colback and Anderson go, but the rest I'd keep.
Donohue in charge of Preston visit - Referee19th Dec 2024 17:32 Manchester official Matt Donohue is in the middle for QPR's Saturday afternoon shithouse-a-thon with Preston North End.0
Does it feel like we have been playing Preston for an eternity? Will John Inman be crying into his Cosmopolitan at the end of game? Will QPR continue to grind out the wins to keep us all in the Christmas spirit?
The Ancient Alien theorists say 'YES' again!
A week off, key players back and a 3pm KO. Preston also 1 win in 11 I think, but loads of draws. 2-0 Rangers (if we turn up).
Skimming through Clive's Bristol report's pitiless forensic breakdown of how we are actually going backwards as a football team under MC, having begun the season worse than Ainsworth (this time with his players/tactics + a pre-season, and, lest we forget, beaten the previous season's club record for no home victories into the bargain), it becomes all the more glaring how some people still refuse to join the dots and instead give Marti a free pass (or even amplify him) for telling us we should be 'proud' of his team's utterly dismal stats, its benefiting from a plethora of disallowed goals/missed penalty decisions/psychotic goalkeepers in recent weeks, and inability or refusal (or both) to do what they're paid to do and, uh, play football. (I'm riffing on the above report, if anything with more rhetorical moderation.)
Apparently, what we should be proud of, according to MC and one or two others posters, is that we work hard, haven't given up with less than half the season played, and mostly defend fairly well in the last 30 yards of the pitch from a block so low it's virtually udnerground! And all because we've got, when I last checked, four first teamers out (one now gingerly coming back, and one who's mustered barely a dozen games and four goals in all competitions for the club in nearly a year with us), and aren't very well-off. Marti is a football manager, so, however honest he likes to tell us he is, he'll make excuses (apparently, the fact that Brizzle had another day to prepare was worth mentioing in regard to the way the game played out) and spin things whenever he can, even if our eyes don't lie to us. I get that charade - albeit through gritted teeth! However, I posted a post-match pod with two ex-QPR players after the Bristol game, which made clear what a lot of bilge they thought it was, and how undeserved our point. No sh*t, Sherlock(s)!
Looking ahead to Preston, personally, I think I'd rather see us lose the game if it means we actually put in a credible 90-minute performance that offers us some feeling of promise and purpose. I'm a football fan who began with this club in 1976 and all that went with it. I don't want to go up two or three places in the table at all aesthetic costs. In fact, if hat's the deal, I don't want to be a QPR fan at all.
What do I fear we'll see? Another turgid display of Champ tripe with the sh*thousery starting about 30 minutes in, our coming in 30-40% possession and two or three on-target efforts if we're lucky. And, I'll put my house on it, another 0-0, or 1-1 at best (which the usual suspects will take).
