Great news we messed up corrected the mistake and we can move on. Let's hope we can get back to having JCS on the pitch for 30+ games this season.

Now sort out the differences with Marti get him back in the fold and we can all move on and maybe start looking forward to Pre Season and beyond.

It's horrible mate we become so attached to our furry friends. As you say no matter what else is going on in our lives they are always there for us pure and utter unconditional love.

We have had cats and dogs and saying goodbye is the worst thing in the world. Just remember you gave them a wonderful life and created a unbreakable bond.

However life goes on and maybe don't leave it to long before you get another pet. We said goodbye to our dog just before Christmas and whilst I wanted a break my wife went to the rescue and got us another dog very quickly. It certainly helped with the healing process and now I am inseparable again with my new mate.

It's crazy really how can you love something so much when the vast majority of the time they make you angry and ruin your weekends. My wife always checks the full time scores so she knows what type of mood we will be in when we return home from a game.

Okay so here goes:

1) My family are all from West London and were season ticket holders. My first game with my Dad was in 1975.

2) Going with my children now it allows me to spend quality time with them especially pre match food (normally pie,mash & liquor). The pre match drinks with other members of my family and friends. Buying a akutrs from Dave.

3) The location and "old skool" stadium - I bloody love the place.

4) Those rare moments of joy that other fans (of big clubs) just wouldn't appreciate.

5) And finally a shout out to this site and Clive's writing too. We are very lucky to have such talent as one of our own.

It's been my church for over 50 years now - Whatever else has gone on in my life that lovely little blue oasis set right in the heart of West London has always been there for me.

The Sweeney and Minder remain my favourite TV shows of all time and always watch a rerun when they are on. And who didn't love Terry's on/off girlfriend Debbie.

It was the West London I grew up in - Fantastic casting and screenwriting. Terry was my icon. Plenty of QPR references in both shows.

Boys from the Bush was another show around that time that had QPR as a main feature. The main character was a QPR fan who drank in our much loved Crown and Sceptre before moving to Australia.

Great days indeed sadly now from a much loved bygone era.

Such tragic footage and thoughts are with everyone in Liverpool.

Unfortunately using vehicles to mow down people in densely populated areas has become an increasing threat. I have noticed on rare occasions two police vehicles will park together on SAR towards the junction of Bloemfontein Road to stop any such attack in W12. However this only happens occasionally and SAR is absolutely rammed for about 15 minutes after the game.

We have mentioned on several occasions this is a security weak point and should be addressed for every game.

Brilliant Clive - Always enjoy these write ups and the Patreon discussions behind them. Agree with absolutely everything in your reports. Especially your summary on Paul Smyth. You need to do the dirty work in the formation we play.

Whilst talking formation I would like to see us change more to a 3,5,2 formation in certain games next season. It would certainly help Celar (and Kelman) to have a partner at the top end of the pitch. It would mean that our fancy 10's would have to be on the bench but they could come on and effect games later in the match.

Anyway I've had enough of football and bloody QPR - I'm off to the beach too.

I know I should be over it by now but that Eric Cantona goal in 1996 still gives me the bang needle.

Love every minute of their decline - Especially the entitled fans.

No European football, No budget, A rotten team and a falling down stadium.

Long may it continue.

I wouldn't be disappointed if that was the route we went down.

My only concern is a bit like Wild Thing - It would be horrible if it all turned sour and ruined his status with the fans.

But I am all for promoting within as as you say there is a lot of expensive dross out there and who knows it might just work.

The delivery for the third goal was the best Loftus Road has seen all season.

Hope Chair and Paal were watching and taking notes.

Amazing support from our fans.

For me Spurs for 2 reasons.

1) I have hated Man Utd since the Eric Cantona goal scored at Loftus Road at 5.02PM.

2) If Spurs win and get into The Champions League they are far more likely to buy Eze.

What's interesting is the wording of the announcement.

One minute we are not allowed to know the details of any contracts the next they are telling us about a trigger clause in a contract.

Talk about playing your audience.

Our season is going to be defined by Cookie and JCS at centre half. There is a lot of our budget tied up with these two. Hope our man in Dubai has some new software on his laptop.

I remember our set pieces under Terry Venables - Bloody brilliant they were. We seemed to have a new set piece routine every week. Not just corners but free kicks and throw ins too.

Arh they were the days......

Spot on again Clive - A fantastic accurate report on a nice way to end the season.

Hats of to the management team for the formation change we certainly looked far more comfortable with that system.

Finally a big thank you Clive for all your writing this season. We are so lucky to have you in our tribe. Your articles bring so much enjoyment in supporting our beloved hoops. I have said it before and I will say it again it is without doubt the best £12 that leaves my bank account every month.

Next time I'm in the Crown I will pop over with a cold Perroni to say "hello" and introduce myself.

I look forward to the end of season player reviews and reports but in the meantime enjoy your break away from the daily grind.

Don’t pay him off its what he wants - Make him come into training every day to do the walk of shame and then train on his own or with the kids.

I backed Xintong at the start of the tournament so am all Chinese right now.

Looks in a good position but Williams has the experience to grind out a comeback.

Will be great viewing today.
