Thanks for your report.
Where did that performance come from? Who knew this team had it in them after all the home losses over the last two seasons? It was one of those nights where everything we did came off. Chair's shots from the edge of the box haven't been working, Andersen's shots haven't been going in, and Dykes had stopped scoring until last week. Suddenly everything was reversed and everything went in. I thought Andersen's goal was the pick of the bunch - absolutely razor sharp. At the other end the defence was resolute and even Begović stopped everything. Leeds looked seriously underprepared, perhaps expecting us to sit deep rather than play football and perhaps fatigued from having played four days earlier (so we had two days extra rest).
Anyway, let's hope this is a sign of things to come under Cifuentes. |

Clive
Ipswich Town fan here, but been reading your match reports all season simply because they are hugely entertaining, a great read and the type of report any true football fan enjoys capturing all the highs and lows we all experience. Felt compelled to write a comment as being an Ipswich fan since 1975, my first years supporting them were in the glory years of Sir Bobby and like you wrote earlier which resonated with me ‘you take these times and people for granted’ and we did the same thinking it’s always like this! Anyway hopefully like us you are turning the corner and enjoy it, because we know it doesn’t last.
Continue the great work and look forward to reading more next season. |

After all the pain you’ve endured and had to write about this season Clive, I’m really pleased we’ve all had the chance to read such a joyous report by you. Summed it all up perfectly.
It was my 65th birthday on Friday, couldn’t ask for a better present, especially under the lights and on Sky. |

Wonderful report Clive thanks for the 5 decade wonder wander back down memory lane holding back the H2O and into that stupendous penultimate cop that Leeds Friday night triumph. Just couldn't have scripted that outcome any better. GA did a great job last season to keep us up and Marti repeated the dose this year but with much much more hope and purpose for 24/25 !? There is just nothing like Loftus Road in full rock 'n roll roar when the side is humming and I am looking forward to heading back from Oz next year and cutting through the off Uxbridge Rd backstreets for a match or five. |

We knew this team had it in them to produce outstanding football. Sadly we only witnessed it a few times this season, but when we really needed them to step up, they finally gave us and the “mighty Leeds” a Masterclass in how to play the game! It was spectacular, stupendous and gloriously magnificent. A night that will live long in the memory, and one to look back on with relish that “I was there” to witness it.
This personally is a huge weight off my mind, as quite frankly the thought of playing in League 1 filled me with complete dread, but I know this will be the same for pretty much everyone. I would like to say a big thank you to Marti Cifuentes, for what he has achieved since he joined the club. Without Marti we definitely wouldn’t be playing Championship football again next season! |

Thank you, Clive, for #LoftForWords throughout this season, which keeps our sanity at times, with our beloved QPR. Who would have expected Friday night? Under the lights at Loftus Road. There is no better. Other perilous times spring to mind and memories of a past end of season 6.0 against Palace. Thankfully no visit to Coventry with our destiny out of our hands. Dire memories of April 1996 at Highfield Road. Look further back to 1980/81 and the arrival of Terry Venables. In Marti, do we trust and may he be the catalyst to take the R's back to better times. We have taken the highs and lows over a lifetime but that is the joy of QPR. Come on u Rs. |

A la recherche du temps perdu is the QPR burden we carry with only the occasional Madeleine to reignite the appetite.
As with each of the few reaffirming lifetime QPR moments it takes a couple of days to sink in, then there’s the realisation that Friday is right up there in the pantheon of those oh, so few but precious moments.
It wasn’t just the win
It wasn’t just the four goals.
It wasn’t just the clean sheet.
It wasn’t just because it was Leeds
It wasn’t just a performance against a likely Premier League team
It wasn’t just because it was under the lights
It was because when it really mattered, they finished the job “ in the QPR way” (Cifuentes™️)
The superstitious Gerry Francis always attributed the 1999 6-0 Palace escape act to the reappearance of the real life Jude the cat who had been missing during our terrible run in to that point.
I swear I saw him lurking around FL block on Friday…
This time, I don’t think it will simply be a stay of execution
No more Ashes, let’s Embrace the new era.

As Keith Brymer Jones is wont to say, with a tear or two in his eyes, "Brilliant! bloody Brilliant!" A match report for the ages to go with the game for the ages. For all the Jordan Cousins standing back to admire Voldemort's dictating the midfield games there are these Loftus Rd under the floodlights and the whole place rocking games to make you forget it ever happened.
The fact I was still nervous in the 95th minute and 4-0 up are merely symptoms of nightmarish memories and over 59 years of rarely knowing which QPR will turn up.
Friday night was the turn of the Blue & White Champions of Europe to dismantle the Pink garbed, self proclaimed WACCOE entitled gobshites. God I was buzzing outside the ground after the extended celebrations inside.
One thing... no mention of the outrageous outside of the foot, over his head pass to Paal/ Chair by Dykes early in the first half? It was a sign of what sort of game he was going to have and ha me wondering if he might do a better job as an ACM as I don't think prolific goalscorer and Dykes will ever appear in the same sentence unfortunately but his workrate, defensive abilities and heading ability make him far better than comments about him being a non league shit player.
Great report Clive! |

My best memories of Leeds are the most comprehensive 1.0 I have ever witnessed for the Venables 1983 champions, the joyous, couldn’t give a fxck defeat after the excruciating Faurlin week of doubt and of course Friday. I enticed an old mate back for the Stan game v West Brom and he said, “I really like this lot”. I think he’s back for a season ticket again next season. My Fulham supporting son asked me if I’d take him to a couple of games next season. The old lady that is Loftus Rd was simply magnificent. Families and youngsters rattling the metal anachronism that is our home. They can march where they want but it was us who were together! |

Great report Clive - I really enjoyed reading that. It’s so true what you say about the generations of fans going to QPR. My daughter is 4th generation after my Dad grew up in Shepherd’s Bush and used to go to games with his dad. They’ve both long since passed but I do feel a great connection every time we go to a game. Let’s face it, there’s no other reason really to follow Rangers! Wouldn’t have it any other way though. The support has been remarkable given the dross that’s been served up until Marti arrived. Dare we dream? Could we be allowed nice things?
