I hate the FA Cup. I hate our consistently feeble approach to it over the last 30 years or so. I hate the fact that bar literally a handful of occasions over the last 30 years, we haven’t had any excitement over who we might draw in the next round. I hate that we don’t seem to want to take the opportunity to improve our finances by actually making an effort in those games. I hate that the “big” clubs don’t value it as much. I hate that we don’t even try to take advantage of that attitude. I hate that we can never get excited about a cup run to bring a bit of joy to a usually fruitless season. I hate that we can’t say that at least we’re doing ok in the cup. To think that when I was a kid, that despite being the only one at school who supported QPR, the stick I got for it was somewhat measured, as having made the cup final was an indication that we weren’t that bad. I know that in the grand scheme of things, there are other more serious issues that folks have to be dealing with, and I have my own worries, but you do need something to cheer about, even if it is only football. And despite it all, and the illogicality of it, I will still support the Rs, and I will still shout, albeit in a weary and resigned tone at the moment, COME ON YOU Rs!! And I hate feeling like this!!! Sorry about that. Needed to get it off my chest. |

….anyone else catch it this morning!?! Only me?? I wasn’t expecting a financial expert comparing the government’s hope of its recent “fiscal event” being successful with the prospect of and I quote “my QPR beating your Manchester Utd, Nick (Robinson) 5 nil!” Loved hearing the Rs represented!! I know Radio 4 is not everyone’s cup of tea, but here’s some good stuff on there. I used to listen to Radio 5 in the mornings until quite recently I realised it was always putting me in a foul mood first thing!! At risk of sounding like Finney, maybe I’m just an old fart!! What’s the most unexpected place/medium where you’ve heard a reference to QPR?? |

Anyone know when they’re going on sale? Has the date even been properly confirmed yet? Can’t seem to find any info on the offy, but they’ve managed to put the date on the calendar on my phone. Apologies if a Spackman, and I’ve completely missed it. |

Cracking finish from a tight angle. Thought he did really well in the build up - but - was he offside? I was happy that the lino didn’t call this one, from where I was in RBlock and I don’t recall them even mentioning the possibility on the Quest highlights. My Barnsley supporting mate says he was off. Can anyone confirm? (Not that I’m bothered too much, as it counted, but you know!) |

Anyone know when they come out? The offish just shows the players in last season’s kit. Todd Kane and Mide Shodipo are still on there as well as the loan-to-permanent signings of the the Fab Four. No sign of Moses, Dunne etc. |
