Reply | season not looking good
at 14:51 13 Jul 2025
I think the worrying thing about Celar is that will he just repeat what was a disappointing to say the least start again to the new season as was the case last season. Two goals at Cardiff apart he did not look the business, whereas with Frey he looks a handful and scored important goals. With Kelman just don't know if he can step up as in his previous limited starts in last 3 years never really looked like scoring. Maybe with him all about confidence get a goal or two and it could all turn around.
It does not look great a 6-0 drubbing in a pre-season game but looking at the sides that were put out, can't read too much into basically a training game, if anything the new management team are trying things out and seeing who is up for being in contention to make the squad. Must admit I don't have much hope with Taylor Richards his track record just leaves a lot too be desired, although can see if they can get some sort of tune out of him, maybe get a club to take him on loan for another season. |

It looks awful, just wish we would stick to variation on the hoops for away kits. Love my 2016 blue and black and 2017 blue and red hooped shirts. |

All the best to Marti, he got us out of a hole when we looked in serious trouble. But I have a feeling with the new management team in place that things are on the up. |

RIP Gordon Jago, the man who got QPR established in the old first division in 1973 and brought some great players to the club during his period in charge. |

Hard to tell overall from 7 mins of highlights but we look a lot more pacy going forwards. Think Vale might be a real find on a free from Chelsea. |

Be interesting to see how Kolli adapts to the new regime, not an out and out striker for me, but is a work in progress and let's see if he really pushes on this season. |

Very sad for Diogo Jota's parents to lose 2 sons and for his wife and children to lose him at such a young age in tragic circumstances. RIP Diogo Jota. [Post edited 3 Jul 14:36]

Getting a lot of good vibes about Poku from Northampton and Peterborough fans when playing at a walking football tournament this morning. In their eyes he was the business in League 1 and defo play at a higher level. |

I liked Marti, he got us out of a hole and there were improvements, but his team also suffered from what has plagued us since relegation in 2015 - inconsistency and yoyo results, especially at home. Anyway all the best to him and hope the new manager can eliminate that inconsistency which has blighted us for too long. |

Sad to hear that Mick Ralphs guitarist with Bad Company and Mott the Hoople has passed away at the age of 81. Saw him in Bad Company a couple of times, the last time was in 2016 just before he had a stroke. |

For Tuchel possibly another Capello, we may well have another expensive foreign manager without a clue. Senegal look streets ahead. |

Other than money, which seems it is all about now not sure why Tuchel took the England job. I did quite like Southgate as England manager, he was invested in the project and got us to Euro finals twice and a World Cup semi final. Early days with Tuchel but a bit concerned this has a whiff of a repeat of Capello. |

Great points and possibly our future is homegrown with a mix of sensible purchases. I have always felt that that the building of the training facilities and promoting QPR to youngsters as a good step up to playing top level football will pay dividends. |

Reply | The QPR summer managers rumours thread
at 15:53 6 Jun 2025
Exactly a real scattergun approach to recruitment, throw mud at the wall and hope it sticks. You have highlighted my concerns about the physicality of QPR for a number of seasons and we have now morphed into a team of attacking midgets. I even remember Warburton banging on about how the Championship was starting to be dominated by teams that were generally made up of 6ft plus players. Long gone are the days when it was say just Stoke and Millwall who had giants, they all seem to be big blokes in most teams nowadays. That is not to say the vertically challenged are not great players but you need a good balance, we seem not to have that. |

Reply | If we got promoted
at 17:24 4 Jun 2025
The key is to get up and get a foothold in staying in the league without throwing millions down the drain. Palace, Brighton, and Brentford have been really successful in establishing themselves and building on this. At the moment we look a nailed on middle of the road Championship team, probably looking nervously over our shoulder every year to just about survive in the Championship, rather than a team that is pointing upwards. Confidence and momentum is a big part in football and that has been something missing from Rangers for a number of years now. |

Reply | We Love QPR and give best reasons why

First game I went to in 1972, QPR v Carlisle, my Dad taking me in the 1970s. The Venables era in the early 80s, season tickets going with my mates, some great away trips. Simon Stainrod personal favourite player of that era. Going again and having a season ticket in the last 11 years after a very long break, the memories and the hope one day that we might just turn it around. |

Watford were awful to watch under Taylor in the 1980s, it was all long ball stuff, the total anti football over the lovely stuff that Venables QPR played. But it was effective and got Taylor the Aston Villa job and then onto England, but Taylor struggled I think with better quality players and his lack of system and strategy as a top level football manager caught him out for an England team under Robson who were at a much better level than they had been for many years. Watching a Taylor Watford gave you neck ache from the ball being up in the air so long, although he did discover a gem in John Barnes. |

Cole Palmer a gem of a player. Think Chelsea are on the up again. Tuchel needs to build England around Palmer, look at his impact in last year's Euro 2024 got England back in the game against Spain, when he came on. Second half against Betis he just turned it around with two brilliant assists. |

Thread | Crystal Palace Beer Festival
at 10:12 26 May 2025
Went to the annual beer festival at Crystal Palace on Saturday, it was a great event, good vibe also helped by their FA Cup win. The stadium especially the Holmesdale end is so much improved since my last visit with QPR in the 1980s. Just sort of shows how much when you invest in stadium and facilities it must pay back, I know they are an established Premier League club and the money has no doubt helped, plans for new stand as well I understand. Mate says it holds about 24,000 and plans to expand, they don't seem so constrained by the footprint of houses being hemmed in so much like us, but it sort of shows what can be done. |
