I think I know what you mean, but why? |  |

Too many syllables? Doesn’t roll off the tongue like QPR. Plus, QPR just looks right. Mind you, Sergio Agüero referred to us as ‘Koo Peh Err-eh’ (Spanish pronunciation) in the post match interview after the 2012 game at the Etihad! [Post edited 20 Feb 22:32]

And of course the letters Q, P and R are together in the alphabet. |  | |  |

| I quite like the name - "LOFTUS" on 21:58 - Feb 20 by stainrods_elbow | Does anyone know when 'QPR' became a thing? Also, why are we QPR but West Brom never WBA, except in writing? These things keep me awake in night. |
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?! |  | |  |

I believe that West Brom, team and fans, prefer to refer to themselves as 'Baggies'. |  |

Tbf.., I've heard you call us other things when we're losing. |  |
