Thanks so much for that piece, Clive. Fitting tribute to the genius that is Adel and it brought back some wonderful memories. I still can’t comprehend how he didn’t win our POTY award in the promotion season.
It’s great you didn’t gloss over his flaws and loved the line ‘But when we say “if you’re playing for QPR there must be something wrong with you” there is a picture of Adel Taarabt’s face next to that.’ The true heir to Marsh & Bowles.
'Fourteen Days in May' is one of the two best documentary films I've ever seen It's very moving and certainly influenced my viewpoint on capital punishment. It can only operate where you have a flawless justice system and sufficient safeguards against wrongful executions. It certainly should not operate anywhere in the USA where the justice system is weighted against the disadvantaged.
By coincidence, the latest (and final) episode of my other all-time favourite documentary is being aired soon with 'Seventy Up' scheduled for broadcast on ITV in mid-September.
I’m not normally a fan of short corners but think we should have tried a few today. Every delivery by Chair into the area was either claimed/cleared by the keeper or headed away by their cast of extras from Land of the Giants. I know Chair is probably under orders from the coaching team but when something obviously isn’t working, try something different!
Could easily have earned two assists but let down by bad finishing. First one was a classy outside of the foot pass which left a team mate one on one with the Rangers keeper which was wasted by a pathetic attempt at a lob.
He scored the goal that broke my heart, when he equalised for Liverpool against Wolves in May 1976. Wolves were valiantly holding on to a 1-0 lead which would have given QPR the title until Keegan scored in the 76th minute. This effectively put Liverpool top and of course they went on to win 3-1, but the Keegan goal was the game changer. We never went as close to the title again and never will now.
Despite this I respected him as a player, loved him as manager of Newcastle because of the way they played and admired him as a very decent guy who wore his heart on his sleeve. He will be fondly remembered.
Totally agree.Best goal I’ve ever seen at a match I’ve attended.
I was lucky enough to have been in the wheelchair section of the West Paddock and was almost in line with Trev when he went airborne. I was buzzing about it for weeks afterwards. Great memory!
