I've never been to the new Cov ground but went to Highfield Road twice. First time was the 96 Eoin Jess game. Despite the result had a great day out got totally ratarsed with some Cov fans I met in the pub after the game and only just made the last train out of there to Euston . Also last time we played there- early 2005. Took my missus and young nipper who was about 5/6 then. Remarkable George Santos goal to win it in the last minute. Going to see Slough v Ebbsfleet tomorrow but will be keeping close eye on the score. Few of us R's down at Slough too. Would take a goalless draw now in both games. Ambitious or what?

Reply | Best film you’ve seen this decade. Since 2015.

I really loved 'La Chimera', a truly outstanding film and have enjoyed Alice Rorwacher's other work too. She directed the last series of 'My Brilliant Friend' and her sister, Alba, starred in it. A wonderful 4 series box set for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, based on the Elena Ferrante novels.
Other Italian films I've watched in the last few months and loved are ' Eight Mountains' and 'Vermiglio'. [Post edited 11 Aug 19:21]

I think I read somewhere that Julien's teams have a habit of starting brightly under his tutelage. So, I think we'll come out all guns blazing. It's not a pre season kick about/warm up anymore and we'll see a completely different QPR animal (albeit with a few of the old creatures and critters we've become accustomed to). Going to be sunny and very warm, full house. Can't wait. 4-1 the R's. |

Circa 1985 my brother went into the barbers with a cut out pic of Bannister and said I want one like that.
In 1990s I used to work with Johnny Byrne's elder brother he had a bit of a mullet too.
Now I'm bald I'd love hair like either of them... |

Pleased for him. I always thought he was a class player, just very unlucky with injuries. He scored a wonderful goal against Reading when we were flying high - 2022 I think. A move he started and finished. Remember sitting in the Inn on the Green after the match talking to a Forest fan who'd been really impressed with us. Forest were languishing lower mid table at that point. Ironically, they eventually made the playoffs and went up, we ended up midtable. Look at the two clubs since.... Fine margins and all that... |

Absolutely!
That, along with the smell of Sunday roast dinner cooking and the Weekend World theme tune, is my abiding memory of late 1970s Sundays. |

Superb stuff! It's the archaeology of football, the actual true essence of football itself.
When I die, my only wish is for my coffin to be carried in to the sound of the Big Match theme tune. [Post edited 12 Jun 13:47]

Harsh pen on Howe. Seemed to have got the ball from Dalglish? [Post edited 12 Jun 13:44]

Well, he's won the French Cup, and achieved qualification for the Europa and Champions League, so if he does all of that in his first three seasons here, I'll probably just about give him a pass... |

Yes I was at that Orient game, standing on the School Lower. Clive Thomas was the ref. Think he sent one of our players off? |

I must get around to that series of his books. I missed the TV adaptations of them too.
I've enjoyed all his football ones - 'Damned United', 'Better Red Than Dead'- about Shankly's time at Liverpool and his recent one, 'Munichs', about the 1958 air crash. |

Lady at work - QPR fan, says latest she's hearing is: Jose Mourhino - not sure what her sauce is? Pinot Grigio possibly?
Personally, I'd prefer Marcelo Bielsa with Roberto Baggio as his assistant. |

Another victory for Sportswashing.
In the end those petro billions make all the difference.
As long as fans see their teams win by playing scintillating football who cares about human rights abuses eh?
This is the main reason I've given up with top level football. |

See you down at Arbour Park next season for the Slough Town game. Ebbsfleet walked the League last season, surprised they didn't compete in the National League. Just shows the gulf. Probably similar to that between the Championship and Premiership. Torquay had nearly 6000 in for their play off against Borehamwood but lost. NLS will be a tough division next season |

Yes that was an important goal in retrospect. Game had been so disappointing and on way out remember telling some Hudds fans they would be alright and we were definitely going down! They're now mid table in League One the poor sods. Could just as easily have been us. |

Great thread. Hope Jimmy stays.
In terms of last gasp goals, Bircham's last minute winner at Brentford in the 2003 play off season was pretty special. Celebrated so hard I was out of breath. |
