I think it’s a really interesting question, Stainrod. There was obviously a first ever ‘QPR’ mention in print, but when? I wonder if any programme collectors might be called upon to assist? And didn’t there used to be a newspaper library at Colindale? I vaguely recall seeing a book of QPR newspaper reports from 1914 too. Who fancies doing a bit of research?!
Playing Arsenal in 2012, Robin van Persie made a lunge for the ball at the Loft End but missed. His momentum took him over the touchline and he ended up falling into one of the deep pits occupied by a startled cameraman. Emerging, thankfully unscathed, some time later, I was rather amused when the chant went up, “He plays in the hole, he plays in the hole. Robin van Persie, he plays in the hole”.
Our treatment room looking like ‘A&E after the running of the bulls’ made me smile (although it probably shouldn’t). I’d be more concerned if they actually were assuring us our injured players were ‘back on grass soon’. With the state of our pitch that could be some time.
