While a QPR win at Arsenal on Boxing Day seems as likely as an invasion from space, the R's can call on inspiration from a festive fixture between these two sides 20 years ago.

Recent Meetings

QPR, already relegated and playing out time in the 2012/13 Premier League, reached new levels of farce in a May home game against Arsenal — succeeding in conceding straight from the kick off at the start of the game. Theo Walcott profited from a succession of defensive mistakes inside the opening 30 seconds. Rangers fans may have feared a repeat of the 6-0 FA Cup thrashing from a decade before but Arsenal were charitable and left it at that single goal.

Arsenal 1 QPR 0, Saturday October 27, 2012, Premier League

A late red card for Stephane Mbia from referee Anthony Taylor for foolishly lashing out at Thomas Vermaelen after he’d actually won a free kick for Rangers was fair enough but the subsequent winning goal from Mikel Arteta was obviously offside and should never have been allowed. To be fair to the hosts only miraculous goalkeeping from Julio Cesar had kept them at bay that long against a very negative and conservative QPR set up and Cesar even went close to keeping the goal out during another monumental scramble. Despite the goal coming just four minutes from time with the R’s down to ten a sudden burst of attacking impetus in stoppage time yielded more chances than Mark Hughes’ side had created during the previous 90 minutes and Jamie Mackie should have scored after jinking his way past three Arsenal defenders into the heart of their penalty area but he fluffed his lines with only the keeper to beat.

QPR 2 Arsenal 1, Saturday March 31, 2012, Premier League

QPR's great escape from what looked like certain relegation in 2011/12 was just starting to get underway when they met Arsenal, at Loftus Road at the end of March. A home draw with Everton and memorable comeback win against Liverpool had breathed life into the Super Hoops and despite away defeats at Sunderland and, most damagingly, at Bolton in between they set about the Gunners with a real purpose in front of a raucous capacity crowd. Adel Taarabt, out of favour for so long during the winter, opened the scoring with a typically tricky run and accurate finish into the corner but the R's were dragged back level when Theo Walcott converted at the second attempt after his original shot had flown back to him off the post. Mark Hughes' men sealed a priceless win in the second half when persistence from Jamie Mackie down the right worried Vermaelen into a mistake and a good advantage played by referee Mike Dean gave Samba Diakite a chance to advance forward from midfield and thump the subsequent assist into the roof of the net.

Arsenal 1 QPR 0, Saturday December 31, 2011, Premier League

A patchy Arsenal display was still good enough to take all three points from QPR on new Year’s Eve 2011 as Neil Warnock's reign at Loftus Road neared its end. The R’s, made a bright start to the game with a reshaped team but were still lucky to survive two gilt edged Robin Van Persie chances in the first half. The Dutchman looked well in the mood against an unorthodox centre back pairing of Danny Gabbidon and Matt Connolly playing against his former club for the first time. Van Persie would win the game in the second half, seizing on a senseless back pass from Shaun Wright Phillips before slotting home, but one of the most inept misses of all time from Theo Walcott just beforehand was just as big a talking point after the match.

QPR 0 Arsenal 6, Saturday January 27, 2001, FA Cup

Those games were the first competitive meetings between the sides in a decade, the last coming in a hefty FA Cup hammering back in 2001. Having laboured through a Third Round tie and replay that went to extra time against Second Division strugglers Luton, First Division side QPR pulled Arsenal at home in the Fourth Round. They made a good start in front of a capacity crowd, Peter Crouch had a header cleared from the goal mouth and another that bounced down right on the line after hitting the bar but stayed out before the Gunners set about a systematic demolition of Gerry Francis’ team. Chris Plummer kneed in a low cross for an embarrassing own goal opener, then Sylvain Wiltord’s low shot deflected into the net off former Arsenal man Matthew Rose after Dennis Bergkamp had drawn Ludek Miklosko from his line. The second half was embarrassingly one sided. Another own goal, this time from Rose at close range under pressure from Wiltord as Ashley Cole crossed, started the rout and Wiltord then volleyed the fourth after being left unmarked at a corner. A swift counter attack constructed by Bergkamp and Ray Parlour set up Robert Pires for number five and the sixth was bagged by Bergkamp himself after Maddix’s pass out of defence was intercepted by Patrick Viera.

QPR 1 Arsenal 1, Saturday March 2, 1996, Premier League

The last Premier League meeting between these two sides prior to the 2011 promotion was towards the end of QPR’s 1995/96 relegation season. Arsenal were a steady midtable side at this stage, supplemented by Dennis Bergkamp up front and managed by Bruce Rioch. This game is often forgotten by Rangers fans amid the more notable disasters of that campaign such as the 98th minute Man Utd equaliser and Spurs 3-2 victory after QPR had led 2-0, but the R’s dropped another two crucial points here after taking the lead. Kevin Gallen kept up his impressive goal scoring record against the Gunners with a crisp first half finish but Arsenal levelled in the second half thanks to an explosive volley from Bergkamp at the School End. I maintain that Bergkamp is the best opposition player I’ve seen play against QPR in my time watching the club. QPR finished second bottom and were relegated, Arsenal climbed up as high as fifth by the end of the campaign.

Memorable Match

John Jensen, it turned out, was signed by Arsenal because his agent, Rune Hauge, had been giving Arsenal boss George Graham bungs in exchange for signing his players — an offence Graham later served a 12 month ban for. Initially though it was thought to be his performances for Denmark at Euro 1992 that attracted the Gunners.

The Danes, you may recall, were only admitted to the tournament at late notice after Yugoslavia were disqualified amid a breakup of the country. They went on to win the whole thing, beating Germany 2-0 in the final with a goal from Jensen sealing the win. It seemed strange therefore that Jensen struggled so much to score for the Gunners during his time there.

QPR arrived at Highbury on New Year’s Eve 1994 by which time Jensen had clocked up 98 appearances without a goal, much to the amusement of the Arsenal fans who would cry ‘SHOOT’ at him whenever he received the ball. Well QPR have always been charitable in such situations and sure enough midway through the second half the curly haired holding midfielder collected the ball on the corner of the penalty area and curled a fine shot beyond Tony Roberts and into the net to lift the roof off Arsenal’s famous old stadium. He’d already tested Roberts, recalled at the expense of Sieb Dykstra, from distance earlier in the game and there was a sad inevitability about it all for the QPR fans massed at the Clock End and, as was often the case for this fixture in those days, in most other areas of the ground as well.

And if you’d bought the papers on New Year’s Day you’d think that was all that happened. Pictures of Jensen were splashed across every page, with the actual score and story of the match buried deep within the text, if mentioned at all. In fact Jensen’s goal was mere consolation in a comprehensive 3-1 QPR victory — their first win at Highbury in a decade.

Rangers, missing Trevor Sinclair through suspension and therefore forced to select much maligned youngster Michael Meaker on the wing, opened the scoring in the first three minutes. Les Ferdinand crossed into the box for Kevin Gallen, unmarked, to tuck the opening goal past David Seaman’s stand in Vince Bartram in the Arsenal goal. Gallen had already shot wide from distance by this stage and it was clear, after a spate of goalless draws between the two sides, that Rangers were in the mood. Ferdinand and Impey both went close to increasing the lead before half time.

Jensen’s goal, which turned out to be the only one of 138 Arsenal appearances, equalied but Rangers pulled clear in the final ten minutes. First Andy Impey crossed through the corridor of uncertainty between keeper and defence for Bradley Allen to stab home at the back post, and then Impey himself headed in at the far stick after Bardsley’s cross had deceived Bartram. Impey, an Arsenal fan, made a habit of scoring and playing well against the Gunners in those days and his goal was just rewards for a fine display. Both Allen and Impey missed good chances to make it four in the dying embers of the game.

The Arsenal fans made t-shirts for those who were there when Jensen scored, QPR responded in kind with an additional line printed underneath: “…and Gallen, and Allen, and Impey.”

Sadly for me, I don’t qualify to wear one. I was indeed there at the game but these were the days when I would be sent on my way ten minutes from time with my ageing and not-very-steady-on-his-feet grandfather to get to the tube before the crowds piled in. I was waiting for him outside the bog when Allen scored, and we were outside on the road when Impey made it three. Typical.

Connections

Chris Kiwomya's brief reign as Notts County manager sparked debate on the LFW message board a ferw months back.

Was this hilarious? A poor player, much maligned for his attitude and work rate during the QPR relegation season of 2000/01, dragged in by a club that has worked its way through nine permanent managers since 2007 simply because no other idiot was foolish enough to take the job on? Or just rewards for somebody who, prior to that dreadful campaign under Gerry Francis and later Ian Holloway, had performed very commendably for Rangers and has since served a healthy internship as a coach for the youth and reserve set ups at firstly Ipswich and then later County?

Born in Huddersfield of Ugandan descent Kiwomya initially made his professional breakthrough down in Suffolk at Portman Road. He was reasonably hot property too - top scoring in the old Second Division in the 1991/92 promotion campaign that crucially won Ipswich a place in the inaugural Premier League. Rangers drew 0-0 with the Tractor Boys at Loftus Road that season despite dominating, and then 1-1 in the away game when Devon White’s first goal for the club only served to cancel out an earlier strike from Neil Thompson which frankly Tony Roberts should have been able to save with his limbs chained together.

Kiwomya built his reputation with Ipswich, scoring 64 goals in 259 appearances for a team that was often battling relegation from the top flight When they finally succumbed to the drop in 1994/95 Arsenal moved in and paid £1.25m for his services. This was an odd period in the Gunners’ history. The reign of manager George Graham had turned sour after league title wins in 1989 and 1991, FA and League Cup success in 1993, and a Cup Winners Cup win in 1994. Graham had been caught taking £425,000 in bungs from Norwegian agent Rune Hauge to aid the purchase of two of Hauge’s clients John Jensen and PÃ¥l Lydersen. Jensen, bought as a goalscoring midfielder after an impressive Euro 92, infamously only scored one goal in more than 150 appearances for the Gunners — against QPR. Rangers did win the game 3-1 though.

Kiwomya joined on the same day as young Luton striker John Hartson, but neither signing really looked like they had the wherewithal to help the Gunners challenge for trophies once again, and both arrived just as the club was about to go through an amazing transition. Bruce Rioch, a very similar manager to Graham in background and style, was brought in after a successful stint with Bolton Wanderers but he lasted just over a season (in which Arsenal finished fifth) before a dispute with first Ian Wright, and then the board over transfer funds led to his demise. The signing of Dennis Bergkamp from Inter Milan during Rioch’s reign showed where Arsenal were heading as a club and, after another prolonged caretaker spell under furture QPR boss Stewart Houston, Frenchman Arsene Wenger arrived and transformed the club forever. All this rather left Kiwomya (who only managed six starts, 11 sub appearances and three goals in three years at Highbury) and Hartson in a state of flux. Eventually Kiwomya tried his luck on loan in France with Le Havre and Malaysia with Selangor before his contract expired and Ray Harford picked him up on a free transfer for QPR prior to the start of the 1998/99 season.

Harford would last barely two months into the campaign before resigning and being replaced first by Iain Dowie on a caretaker basis and then returning hero Gerry Francis. It was then, with Rangers cash strapped, that Kiwomya really started to shine. As the R’s battled relegation he scored twice in a crucial 4-0 home win against Swindon Town and then wrote his name into the club’s folklore on the final day of the season.

Locked in a struggle at the bottom of the table with Oxford, Bury, Port Vale and Portsmouth, Rangers knew they needed a victory on the final day of the campaign at home to Crystal Palace to secure safety. Since the Swindon win the R;s had managed just one victory and a draw from eight matches and a 2-0 set back at Port Vale the week before in front of a huge travelling support — a fifth defeat on the spin — looked to have doomed them to the Second Division.

It’s always been my opinion that there was something very fishy about what happened next. Palace — financially stricken and in the midst of a messy divorce from owner Mark Goldberg — rolled over and died on a pitch bathed with sunshine and protest balloons in the most obvious and dramatic manner anybody could ever have imagined. When George Kulscar and Tony Scully are lashing in volleys from outside the penalty box something is seriously amiss, and the Kulscar goal in particular — the first of the game — looked eminently saveable only for keeper Kevin Miller to stand still and watch it go past him. Kiwomya scored possibly the lowest quality hat trick ever registered in the professional game and missed a penalty into the bargain and Rangers survived.

Francis rebuilt the team intelligently, adding Stewart Wardley’s hard running to the midfield along with youth team graduate Richard Langley, Jermaine Darlington’s pace to wide areas and most crucially Rob Steiner as a focal point for the attack. Kiwomya thrived, scoring 14 goals as Rangers finished tenth. A well taken late goal in a 3-2 March win at Walsall had put the R;s within touching distance of the play offs but a subsequent brace was only good enough to secure a draw at home to Norwich and the form fell away slightly — his final goal of the campaign capped a memorable 3-1 home win against his former club Ipswich who were heading for promotion at the time nevertheless. That was also the day of the lesser spotted Sammy Koejoe blockbuster as well.

So, despite being on the brink of financial ruin, hopes were reasonably high going into 2000/01 with impressive England Under 21 hopeful Clarke Carlisle added to the defence and Peter Crouch arriving from Spurs. However, crucially, Rangers lost Steiner to a career ending injury and Kiwomya never functioned as well without him. Kiwomya’s early season form was good — four goals in his first eight appearances - but a September away game at Barnsley saw QPR go in at half time three nil down and with disgruntled travelling fans massing around the tunnel at half time to give the players a piece of their minds Kiwomya didn’t cover himself in glory with an angry reaction. Although the striker then subsequently scored twice in the second half to threaten a comeback, the final score of 4-2 only served to plunge the team into greater difficulty. Kiwomya was in and out of the side thereafter with one niggly injury after another and the perception was he either wasn’t bothered, wasn’t trying, or both. He managed six appearances and no goals in the next four months, returning briefly to score twice in an FA Cup replay with Luton at Loftus Road and win through to a fourth round game with his old club Arsenal which Rangers promptly lost 6-0.

More time on the sidelines was broken briefly by a return and two goal haul as the R’s beat Barnsley 2-0 and Gillingham 1-0 as Francis made way for Ian Holloway but they were to be his last goals for the club. Holloway added Andy Thomson to the attack alongside Peter Crouch and at the end of the season, with the club now in administration, Kiwomya was one of dozens allowed to leave at the end of his contract. A record of 30 goals in 96 appearances for a mostly crap side stands up well on paper.

Spells in Denmark with Aalborg and the lower divisions with Grimsby preceded his retirement and coaching spells with first Arsenal, then Ipswich and finally Notts County. In the wake of Keith Curle’s sacking at Meadow Lane at the turn of this year, Kiwomya had a prolonged caretaker spell in charge of Notts County which brought three wins and six draws from 11 games. Ominously they lost three on the bounce following his permanent appointment but rallied with two wins and a draw from the final three games and finished the season twelfth.

The jury remains out on his ability as a manager, and divided on whether he was any good for QPR or not.
