Unless someone tells me differently we are still losing £1.3M per month funded by our owners. We only have the squad we have thanks to the Eze money (again) but unless we can sell one of our players for decent money (Chair) we are going to have to cut our cloth accordingly.

Likewise - I was standing in The Loft that day and whilst a few round us went back to the pub we stayed for what was one of the games (second halves) of the century.

Bruno's Carrow Road knockout - History
at 12:33 28 Nov 2025

I was there too Clive - An away day that always sticks out for me and continues to live long in the memory.

Great to relive the goals in the footage - 2 things stand out:

1) All the players wearing black boots: Adidas World Cup or as with Super Ray Puma Kings.

2) The Rangers fans in the home end hardly keeping themselves conspicuous look at them after Peacock and Penrice's goals.

Great days indeed.

I'm guessing because of the squad now and all being fit he will have to patient and wait for his opportunity which is a good thing. Also great we don't have to rush him back and that Hamstring can keep having a good rest until it's needed.

Smyth’s super sub act lifts QPR into top half – Report
at 08:29 28 Nov 2025

Thanks Clive - Great report as always.

When I saw the line up I thought we would be overrun and bullied in midfield especially with 3 of our midget 10's starting. However that was not the case and I was very surprised how poor Blackburn were.

However you can only beat what's in front of you and the boys found a way to win which gave me a lovely midweek winter boost.

If we can get something from Norwich I can start looking up the table again.

Probably thinks the new contract is not good enough and he may be right. I guess a bit like Dunne last season we will reach an agreement. The risk Smyth takes though is he is only a bad injury (ACL or similar) away from not having any income after June.

A fantastic 3 points.

A completely different game to Saturday and still found a way to win.

However Blackburn did have 2 huge chances that they missed so the game could easily have gone the other way. Fantastic save from Nardi as important as our goal.

I thought Kolli for Burrell should have been a sub on 70 minutes - Burrell looked tired.

Smyth is a little nugget - Very important squad player and needs a new contract.

Field - Mr reliable 3 games filling in at left back 3 clean sheets.

Cook / Dunne - Won all their headers

Chair - I am his biggest critic so if he carries on like this it's a huge slice of humble pie for me

Squad - We could change the whole outfield 10 Saturday with decent replacements which shows the huge improvements in quality

Fans - Absolute class I salute each and every one of you in that away end last night.

Incredible journalism Clive - A very powerful article indeed.

I really hope our owners read these articles.

For me the jury is out on Nourry. I totally agree with your Furlong piece and I will reserve full judgement until the end of the season. We do seem to have the best squad we have had in years (thanks to Eze again) and Rome wasn't built in a day. However I continue to struggle with the "Head of Performance" and "Head of Methodology" roles and the people fulfilling those roles.

Chair - Back On Song At Last
at 07:49 24 Nov 2025

I have been one of his critics but he was absolutely outstanding Saturday. His workrate without the ball was incredible. I think having a solid full back in RND gives him a better platform to play.

If he plays like that every week he would be the first name on the team sheet.

Long may it continue.

Top man Jamie - Cracking report on a fantastic afternoon at HQ.

A brilliant game of Championship football that ebbed and flowed from the first minute to the last.

The don’t come round often but when they do it’s to be savoured.

There is no place in the world I would have preferred to be other than Loftus Road at 4.50pm Saturday.

Thanks Clive - Great read as always.

Hull are 3/1 on Betfair Exchange which looks bloody good value to me especially if we start with our midget 10’s.

Anyway as you say this is supposed to be fun so please don’t spoil another Saturday night boys.

Come on you R’rrs.

I suppose it depends on weather you are comparing it to the the nil nil draw with Oxford or Jamie Mackie’s last minute winner against Liverpool after trailing 2 v 0.

A thread about Eze
at 07:55 14 Nov 2025

Isn't it great to see him fulfilling his potential - He could easy of let his contract wind down with us and go on a free with a big signing on fee into his own personal bank account. But no he signed a contract so we got a good fee (twice) for him.

Love him to bits and he is so much better than Rashford in that position.

Totally agree with this - We are over complicating the game with mind numbing tactics.

I remember a game in the early eighties (against Barnsley I think) where snow had cancelled all games but because we had a plastic pitch we could sweep the snow from the pitch and a few fans (including my uncle) helped the ground staff sweep the snow and the game went ahead and was shown on Match of the Day as it was the only game played.
