Out of form QPR pick up another defeat, and injury, at Southampton — report
at 14:12:59

The cocaine issue described by Clive is worrying and following my experience and those around me at the Wembley play off quite frightening. I was in the corner of the Bobby Zamora end near an aisle about twelve rows from the front. From well before kick off a big guy just on the other side of the passage was behaving in a wild manner with bulging veins and eyes popping out. As the game started a little black kid in a hi viz bib who looked about 16 tried to get him to sit down and calm down. The thug completely ignored him and spent the whole of the first half not only hurling vile abuse but also rushing down the aisle to the security fence to threaten physical violence to any Derby player who came near. There was a steward sitting on a stool facing the crowd about two feet on the other side of the fence who spent the whole game avoiding looking at the one enormously obvious troublemaker.
Because nearly all of the second half action was at the other end he spent most of his time screaming abuse at all of us around him for not joining him in trying to sing the Niko Niko Charlie Charlie song. By this time everyone including his mates were giving him a lot of space as he became even wilder and out of control. There were lots of families around with young girls as well as boys and I do not know what the parents and grandparents were able to say to them other than try to ignore him as we all did.
During 45 years of going to football matches and experiencing Saturday nights in the middle of Glasgow after Rangers Celtic games, witnessing enormous mass brawls at England Scotland matches and in my early days supporting QPR trying to get from Stamford Bridge to the tube station alive I have never actually felt frightened because I always believed if you applied common sense, avoided confrontation and kept your head down you would be OK. Also alcohol induced aggression always seemed predictable and fairly short lived.
The worrying things about the drug fuelled behaviour was that it went on for the entire game, if anything getting worse and the fact that it was so uncontrolled. I was very surprised that the stewards did nothing, what exactly would it take to get slung out of Wembley?

Austin’s last gasp strike halts QPR’s Christmas rot — report

Just a small point to add to the above, I thought Dunne looked uncomfortable playing on the left centre back position against such a pacey striker. Hill and Dunne have looked great together all season not just because of their long experience and decisive heading and tackling but the left footer/right footer combination works very well.

Mackie’s best efforts in vain as Villa game slips away — full match report

I agree with Clive that Mark Hughes will go down as our worst ever manager. However I also worry about the long term damage that he and Joorabchian will tun out to have inflicted.

Also as the days go by the whole episode smells worse. The recent agents fees list show that QPR paid £6.8M in the period Oct 2011 to Sept 2012 yet Southampton who according to most reports spent £33M on players but only £646,000 to agents. I know that fees are still paid for out of contract players but the numbers look very suspicious.

As a QPR supporter for 34 years and a Partick Thistle fan for ten years before that I should neither be surprised by anything that happens in football nor naive enough to raise my hopes to anything above Blackadder contemplating the next advance on the German front line so I cannot understand why;

1. I was so optimistic in August

2. How our very successful, business savvy owners (whose hearts are definitely in the right pace) didn't spot ( and this is where the choice of words gets difficult given the LFW web site warnings on libellous/vile/abusive etc words) those two
....ing, .....ing, ....s coming to rob us from a mile away.
