A third of the way through the season and certainly looks like 3rd time unlucky regards another miracle Championship survival run. Not too many R's look invested at the moment and we certainly can't take a trick but as has been well documented too many new players not gelling, inability to score despite creating opportunities & costly injury to our better performers. As bad as it has been in my six decades of supporting this Club. Doomed indeed. |

A great seasons work once again Clive 48 pieces of all around utterly readable and immensely enjoyable reports. Probably felt more like 148 tho' this season ?! Walsh was excellent between the sticks and hopefully may get his chance next season to contribute more like a genuine keeper should ? The 24/25 season is a big opportunity for the club to buck our trend and with Martis smarts reach up the rungs. |

Wonderful report Clive thanks for the 5 decade wonder wander back down memory lane holding back the H2O and into that stupendous penultimate cop that Leeds Friday night triumph. Just couldn't have scripted that outcome any better. GA did a great job last season to keep us up and Marti repeated the dose this year but with much much more hope and purpose for 24/25 !? There is just nothing like Loftus Road in full rock 'n roll roar when the side is humming and I am looking forward to heading back from Oz next year and cutting through the off Uxbridge Rd backstreets for a match or five. |
| News Comment | Dykes' long awaited goal secures crucial QPR win - Report at 04:04:26
Thank you again Clive for a top report and phew nearly there. The gut churning is finally abating a bit ! A result from the football gods cheers with Begovic and Dykes finally earning their keep this weekend !!!! CS putting himself about too in a Macca like out of my way performance. SC a rock and we've had our share of good fortune at the right time of the season like GA's previous one. Not over yet tho ! |
| News Comment | Act three – Report at 23:49:29
Pretty good summation Clive from what I saw. Yep you bet, Begovic now past his use by date and more & more of a risk with each game. The scenario you have mapped out for him is spot on and just hope he has a couple of match winning saves left in him !!? R's physically and mentally spent in the 2nd half and really needed to go in a goal to the good at half time. Still in it tho' and lucky Baggies had a big second half at the JS Stadium & helped out with some goal diff as well !! |
| News Comment | Field's surprise double caps fitting footballing tribute to Bowles – Report at 07:29:16
A genuine match for the ages you could've scripted a tome on Clive. Very apt "Ainsworth rolled into town looking like dad had taken the divorce badly" How DID he keep us up last season ????? Magnificent performance on a special night and yes deserved all 3 pts somehow snatching only a point from the jaws of victory. 3 day turnaround will test the full starting side and trusting MC will work his magic shuffling the squad around. That damn hope dares in and dares out and maybe only Stan is privy to the script of the football gods ?! |
| News Comment | Sinclair’s immediate impact crowns Cifuentes’ successful Fox hunt – Report at 23:40:44
TA Clive mag bloody nificent, purposeful and professional and playing with tactical nouse. It won't necessarily be easy to keep the current form going but we've given ourselves every opportunity to stay up sooner rather than later. Now making it tougher for teams to play against us and MC has turned the team mentality right around this year. Will be very interesting to see the starting X1 Wednesday night. Bring it on the Baggies. U Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr'ssssssss |
| News Comment | Stan Bowles – 1948-2024 at 06:15:38
A fearless punter, a magician on the park and a professional wide boy any other day !! A joy to have seen him go around. It'll be some wake !! Cheers for the memories Stanley you were an absolute one off. I'm crying at the keyboard. Rest easy old fella |
| News Comment | Prestige performance puts QPR back in the hunt - Report at 01:33:53
Great work Clive. Encapsulates the R's to a tee. Swab & pickle juice must've worked pre Robins ! Something did, maybe the shame that was called out post Stoke "effort" ? A worthy professional football performance and as a result 3 points to the good. Congrats on the turnaround are due. The pressure ratchets up again over the week with the worst away team in the Div playing the worst home team in the Comp !! Can we finally, finally get the victory that sees us poke our noses up out of the swamp or will we succumb to the home ground hoodoo in front of the disgruntled natives ? A betting man would have quids on the Millers getting something out of the game perhaps ?! |
| News Comment | Here’s one you might have heard before – Report at 02:33:55
Spot on Clive and Rs back to being a bloody disgrace when the pressure to perform is really on. They just can't cope with it. Yes and likely we get the skitso effort in Bristol. Need to swab this squad every game. |
| News Comment | Frey ties up cliffhanger on home debut – Report at 05:30:22
Thanks Clive you've identified fight, desire, belief, game plan & a sense of entertainment in a side that has been largely bereft of these professional essentials for a good while. While not the full 3pts we can finally see a team competing to get the essentials right under MC whose savvy Jan pick ups are setting the new standard. Just waiting for the match when Armstrong gets his game altogether and belts the opposition. Stoke would be a good start. Seriously think we have a better chance than ever of climbing the basement stairs and avoiding our current cellar. Reckon it is more than hope for a change !! |
| News Comment | Surprise reinforcements lead QPR to Blackburn – Preview at 23:41:47
Good write up Dave & some horror stats there against Blackburn this century ! Even the refs numbers are a shocker ! Will be very interesting to see what side we put on the park and the surest things about this game is a Colback card and a Szmodics goal !! |
| News Comment | Paal's late salvage papers deep fault lines - Report at 22:33:01
Well penned Alex nearly stealing a bit of Clives thunder there as we use to say. All around things are very dire indeed and just as well club didn't hand out a bit of gratis rope instead of those scarves ! Keep swinging R's ! |
| News Comment | Brace for impact, QPR crash at Millwall - Report at 00:02:02
Good work Saffa. Were they all hungover ? Back to keystone cop "defending" at it's worst. Brain fades again in both injury times and WHAT was Begovic doing when we conceded the second goal !?? Player body language post both goals woeful Frustration beyond belief. Is Cook crook and unavailable ? Looking like a route up at Portman Rd Fryday !!! |
| News Comment | Illy and Willy bring strictly business back to fashion – Report at 23:53:33
Very upbeat Clive & much relief as well. Some sort of transformation happening and in record time or what ! Have we got ourselves a new El Tel in charge !!?? Even good fortune is smiling on us for a change !! Been a long time coming. Big Dec. end of year fixtures looming. It could be a very merry Xmas indeed. You R'ssssssss |
| News Comment | Light at the end of a two-year tunnel - Report at 07:39:27
Yes Clive, it's faint and most likely a candle flame fretting on the next cross breeze but that second half effort was a performance almost forgotten re the ability of these players. Now the worries really begin knowing what this team remains capable off and praying to the football gods it doesn't vanish again into the ether. Still ultra nervous months ahead with a mountain to climb but I am seeing that the belief is now there & the side is enjoying it's football again . Hallelujah ! Injuries ? |
