Did ok today but nowhere near his best.
Did he come over to the fans at the end of the game?
The feed I watched concentrated on Cov players and showed CW chatting with Sheaf & DasIlva who were both academy players at Arsenal. They spoke for a fair amount of time so nut sure if CW had made his way back from our fans???
Any one there notice |

Echo this, hadn’t realised the author had passed although knew he had been ill.
I love historical modern mystery /fiction and the Shardlake series tops it for me.
Vaguely remember the book, this programme was superb.. hopefully they will make the entire series although Matthew Shardlake does not look how I imagined him nor Barack
Other authors in this genre I love
SW Perry the jackdaw mysterys gotta love Bianca Merton
SJ parris for the Bruno mystery’s
Would love to see these brought to the big screen |

In the mid to late 1970’s the only media outlets for finding out news on Qpr was mostly via the newspapers.
In the bad old days there were no such things as transfer windows, I don’t even recall there being a loan system.
You could buy and sell any player at anytime up until the 31st March until the season ended.
My first heartbreak was the sale of Rodney Marsh. March 1972 apparently £200,000 to Man Citeh. I was devastated. Rodney the season I started supporting this club in the first place gone. I was 14 never kissed a girl or been told to sling my hook by one but my hero my idol was gone, just like that. I would have found out when the morning papers were delivered, I used to wait for the paperboy to try and cram the daily telegraph for my dad and daily express for my mum. I’d get to them just before my dad who needed the telegraph to read it on the bog regular as clockwork at 7:30 in case the express disappeared in with him for what seemed ages.
Turn to the back pages and check for anything on Qpr, often there was nothing but one day splattered over the back of the express was news of Rodney’s transfer.OMG what happens now.
Then along comes Stanley.
For the next 6 or 7 years I’d check the back pages and there was Stan putting in yet another transfer request. The scar of Rodney’s departure etched deeply across my heart so these stories cut through me every time. He eventually got sold to Forest which I though at least he’s going to one of the best teams around at that time.
Since then the standout departures for me have been Clive Allen, Gerry Francis, Phil Parkes, Paul Parker, Darren Peacock, Les Ferdinand and others I can’t think of just now.
One of the most painful moments was Terry Venables going to Barcelona which brings me around to our Marti.
This man IS the greatest assets this club has had in decades. The fact that he has pulled the current group of players into a coherent team. They were sinking and up to their necks in an acrid bog of filth and slime, the club was on the verge of almost oblivion.
If this was the 1970’s I would be waiting by the front door for the papers to arrive in the hope that Qpr manager poached by Real Madrid headlines.
Today’s instant news from sky, radio, clickbait, social media means that this news can hit us at any given time be it made up or true.
Think I preferred waiting for the papers to arrive. |

And how long where they in L1. About 3 seasons?.
Having said that a midfield hub of Sam morsey and mass Luongo is a surprise package that has sustained their rise.
Add to that an abundance of strike power and a pacey defence all glued together with a bright young manager then it’s got them rising to the top.
Key for me are the options up front.
It makes the championship that hit harder each year with parachute payment clubs coming down but quite often one club does upset the Apple cart |

Your reports Clive have kept thousands (a few more than the 2) of readers engrossed in our magical club.
You manage to hit so many buttons in such a diverse community of Qpr fans from all sectors of society around the world. The one thing we have in common is a devotion to our beloved beautiful hoops who know how to rub us up the wrong way one minute(ok hours on end) then deliver us subliminal happiness.
I watched the game with my left foot raised up above hip level so 4 actual goals in the same game caused quite a few excruciating moments but the pain was worthwhile.
Like many sat through many seasons of sorrow apart from the 12 Warburton months then have to miss being at hq for this.
A wonderful night and hope to be back with Blue Costello (nice cheese by the way) next season
OH RANGERS WE LOVE YOU
just a quickie the chant of a guttural hoops hoops hoops as Illy took the corner for LD to score is something? |
