Shameless Brown nosing thread 12:38 - May 10 with 10455 viewsloftboy

A huge thank you to Northern R AKA Clive for the sterling work again this season, most of it must have felt like pissing in the wind.
The reports and previews genuinely have laugh out loud segments.
Hope this season hasn’t put you off Clive, keep up the good work and thanks again.

Couldn't agree more. As an exiled fan in the Midlands I value Clive's reports and previews immensely. They keep my love and connection with QPR going.

Just hope that the horrendous collapse hasn't put Clive off for ever.

I rarely post but read loads, was lucky enough to hug Clive at Turf Moor (and everyone else around us) when we scored the winner.

You’re a genius my friend and bring smiles to our supporters all over the world.

Thank you

Cheers guys.

Toughest one yet as Greg Wallace would say.... The geography of the league this year... QPR's remarkably consistent crapness essentially meaning I had to write the same thing every week and find different ways to do it... having to bash the club and the team that I love so consistently (they deserved it) is horrible contrary to those who think I secretly enjoy it... and that weird little group of trolls I've accumulated over the years who are so obsessed with the editor of one of the QPR websites they have to register multiple anonymous message board or Twitter accounts to try and make him feel like sht...

The support on here and via the Patreon and the community on the message board keeps me and the site going and is the lifeblood of it. The Patreon has been an absolute lifesaver in so many ways, without it I would have had to jack this in, if not last summer then certainly now.

I'll do a proper list of thank yous and a few final thoughts on the other side of the end of term reports which I'm working on now - lucky me. But in the meantime so many people have said nice things over the last few days and you need to know it is massively appreciated because there have been several "what the fck am I doing here" moments in the last few months.

Cheers Clive for all your output this season, above and beyond.

As for the end of term reports I wouldn't put too much effort into them - the players clearly didn't!

Weirdly looking forward to following the summer fire sale and rebuild on here .

The whole troll/multiple accounts thing is just weird, really fking weird. Get a life, at the end of the day it's just a bloody football match.

It's when the multiple accounts start having conversations between themselves that it starts to get really odd. There usd to be a couple that would regularly do it about 5 years ago.

Can only agree with the sentiments written by others.
2 things we lead the country at:-
The Community stuff
We have the best match reports bar none

Everything else is pretty crap at the moment so Clive thanks for the gallows humour, it's worth it's weight in gold.

Clive's match previews & reports are right up there as the highlights of the season.

Other contenders being meeting up with friends for the game, attending the Ale Faurlin evening (having a long chat with Clive & Simmo) & the applause on 14 minutes on Saturday.

Thanks for the write ups. Have a good break & do your best not to think about this club for a while!

It’s about time you published end of season annuals complete with pre-match preview and post match reports. To much of a genius scribe for them to be forever lost in the wilderness of cyberspace.

Shameless Brown nosing thread on 17:41 - May 10 with 7174 viewsdaveB

yeah he's alright I suppose but I still think he should have given Rob Dickie a 5 rather than a 4 in the match ratings in one of his match reports

Enjoy your summer Clive, you've earned a break

I’ve inadvertently mentioned LFW to various non supporting QPR bods over the years, not mentioned you directly, but a similar comment comes up from those who’ve had a peep, ‘the bloke who runs the site is a very good writer’.

High praise indeed really, as you’d invariably look at another teams fan site with taking the piss in mind rather than looking for anything decent.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Thanks Clive for the previews (match, refs, opposition) and reports as well as running the message board. Very much appreciated - enjoy your summer break (if you get one).

Extra mature cheddar......a simple cheese for a simple man

Clive.... Your reports lighten up whatever dross has been served up on the pitch.

I reckon the worse the R's perform, go sick, lie down, go missing, get cramp, leave it to someone else.. the better your report.

And now you do video reports!!! When asked what you thought of QPR directors, your clip below says it all.

Your pre and post match reports are second to none in my view. Be good if you and Charlie were on the qpr podcast more in my view and doing some interviews with key men at the club. And any change of an Adel interview on the patreon?
