Lighten up the load No.2 - Yuka app
at 20:40 10 Mar 2024

If you or your partner/ mum/ Dad etc. haven't already found this app, I would issue a word of warning. Mrs Hants is now using it to check out all the tasty, unhealthy foods I used to enjoy and only getting those recommended that are free of sugar, calories, salt, fats etc. ...and sometimes, taste?

On the other hand, if that's important, and I guess it should be and is for many, it's a simple app that scans barcodes and provides all the information you need to buy healthy products.

I thought he had a very good game. One if the few to look confident and calm in the first half, then some brilliant work in the second half. Great assist for Smyth and super goal.MOTM?

'A look back at a memorable moment in sporting history' Nice feature about EFL Cup and 1967. One quote I liked was, "There have been many such fine efforts at Wembley over the years - but this stroke by Marsh will live with the best" The Times opined, "There was a lazy arrogant grace about it all that had the quality of a genius"

Right, 56 years on, must get ready for latest journey to West London!

A new phrase for the LFW lexicon of pretentious words used by discredited managers and which will associated with them forever. Meticulous planning, was the previous favourite.

"Emma Hayes will one day manage in men’s football — so why not now? ''
at 17:49 27 May 2022

"Game’s blind spot to talented female coaches is self-defeating" - so says Matt Dickinson, QPR ST holder and Senior Sports Writer in The Times yesterday and he suggests that Emma Hayes should be on the QPR shortlist for our new manager.

Interesting article - I'll cut and paste if anyone wants tp read further

So sad to read her obituary today. It reminded me of my early years supporting the Rs as she was in 'Please do not adjust your set' a fantastic 'children's' programme from late 1960s - forerunner to Monty Python - included David Jason as Captain Fantastic and even had Bonzo Dog Doo Dah band in support. She also featured in a memorable BBC film in 1983 'Another time, another place' - set in Scotland 1942 with Italian prisoners of war - reminded me of the Italian Chapel in Orkney.

Thought I should share this letter in The Times today:

IT’S POSH WE ARE
Sir, Giles Coren asks for the names of good, but not too fancy, restaurants in Peterborough (Notebook, Feb 1). May I suggest the excellent Brewery Tap near the station, the home of Oakham Ales, which serves tasty Thai food. Giles and his son can then celebrate QPR’s win over the mighty Posh in convivial surroundings. In the unlikely event of his team losing he can drown his sorrows with excellent Peterborough beer brewed on the premises. A win-win situation.

Saw him in SAR at the Everton match and read an alleged quote from him saying the 'last time he cried was when Zamora score' - presumably for the right reasons?

Many shouts for Barbet and of course the usual suspects, Dieng and Dickie and I don't disagree, but I thought that the team as a whole was MOTM if that makes sense? as there were few poor performances today. Well done everyone.

Pomanjou
at 15:53 16 Apr 2020

Many of you on the site will be familiar with Pomanjou, who posted quite frequently on this site until a couple of years ago. Pom (Dave Pearce) and I sat together in SAR C Block until late last season when he was too unwell to make the journey anymore and made a point of giving his ST to me for the last game or two. At Christmas I wrote to him and learned that his various illnesses were taking a serious toll. Yesterday, his son wrote to me via Clive and told me of his passing, I presume finally losing his battle with cancer.

I have sent my sincere condolences to his family, some of whom I got to know at Loftus Road (LR) when they took up empty seats near us in SAR.

It was amusing how Dave and I met because we had previously personally communicated on various topics via LFW a few times without ever meeting or really knowing each other. In 2009 I had gratefully accepted his offer of 2 tickets to an away match at Doncaster (awful game as it so happened!). I remember promising him a pint and a dodgy pie if we ever met - he never held me to that promise!

Anyway, when I took up my current QPR Season Ticket seat in South Africa Road (SAR) a few years ago, he occupied the adjacent seat. I remember being gently challenged and feeling obliged to show him my new Season Ticket to prove I was in the right place, as I was in a seat that had previously been allocated to a fellow fan with whom he had been quite friendly. I like to think we warmed to each other and during one of our subsequent friendly chats, upon learning that I live in Hampshire, he asked me, "do you post on LFW?" and I was so surprised and delighted to meet 'Pomanjou' in person!

He told me the origin of his soubriquet, Pomanjou (i.e. derived from his business importing pommes from the Loire, Anjou area) and I got the impression that he did very well from it and had a nice place in Pinner, where he also had a number of apple trees - as I do in Hampshire, so another thing in common. I admired the fact that even in his late 70s, he used to come to LR after playing tennis in the morning so he tried to stay fit, whilst fighting prostate cancer, heart attack and further illnesses that have now appear to have proven too much for his body.

I always enjoyed Dave's company and looked forward to his arrival in the SAR stand at home matches. He was an intelligent, firm but gentle man and I miss his measured observations, good humour and sometimes strong opinions, gently expressed. Most importantly, he was a strong family man and of course a dedicated QPR fan.

His posts can still be seen on this site and to read them,you would get some insight into what kind of person he was. Many readers will remember him and I'm sure we're all sad to learn of his passing. No doubt several of you might want to pay their respects on the forum and some may wish to communicate directly with Dave's family. PM me if so?

For my own part, I'm so sad at his passing and I shall miss him even more now.

Some great threads at the moment in these strange times. I mused that we could really enjoy a Netflix series of building Airfix kits, introduced by Victoria Coren looking for the connecting parts with Jamie Mackie's goal v Liverpool in the opening credits and Phil Thompson's face at the end.
