Thank you to all the Patreon subscribers as well.

We're using that money this year to pay more guest writers for their contributions - funny, serious, analytical - so this isn't just a website of me and my "eye twitching obsessions", ahem.

Tom's hopefully going to be one of those and we've got a couple of others in the pipeline. If you want to write for us, regularly, or on a one off if you've got something to get off your chest, you know where I am.

Enjoyed this Tom.

Thanks for the insights. Nothing really to disagree with. I also sat through one of those Middlesbrough matches, thanks to my son being at Newcastle Uni. Saturday was a definite change of pace to that!

I was struck too by the turn and play from midfield which seemed to have progressed from last season where only Nico seemed to have mastered it. I hope they continue with that as it certainly makes us look less ponderous than we can do at times.

A bonus mark for referring to our new left back as ‘the Boy Kemper’.

He had me at "Rangers' Renaissance".

Nice piece Tom.

Am with you on Poku. That was the best I have seen from him. He was very good.
Fingers crossed, its the start of something for him

Absolutely loved that. Agree with all of the match analysis, but loved the scene-setting, observational/anecdotal stuff just as much.

Didn’t take me long to laugh out loud either (the fourth paragraph, to be specific, with the remark about Taylor Richards tying up his bootlaces while defending a counter attack).

Had no idea David de Gea was in goal for Fiorentina in the first half. Sitting far away in the Upper Loft, my eyesight simply doesn’t allow for that sort of detailed observation, and the keeper that appeared in the second half certainly wasn’t the former United ‘gloveman’ (to coin a phrase). Even I could see that.

Really looking forward to more of Tom’s work.

Great stuff Tom, thanks a lot !

PS - development work to do on the hair style in your picture to keep up with Rayan.

Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

Completely agree.
Alemayehu had been showing that ability again out in Austria, and we know Madsen can, but Varane doing it as well on Saturday was encouraging.

Well done, Tom - excellent report. You make it look very easy and I know its anything but.

Sadly, I agree with your very last sentence!....

Great debut. Well done on making your way from Clive's puppy farm. A few more appearances and you can have a guard of honour from the Crown regulars whilst making your way to the coveted table.😁

Great stuff, thanks for that, Tom. I particularly liked the last part of this sentence :

"The Viola fans, exchanging the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore for Cathedral del Loftus Road, bottles of Chianti for pints of £7 Carlsberg, and Michelangelo’s David for our own Ronnie Edwards".

I love the fact that the opposition had a player called Mandragora. Mandragora is a plant genus belonging to the nightshade family (Solanaceae) and members of the genus are known as mandrakes. They're highly toxic, can cause
hyperactivity and hallucinations, and are the subject of many myths and superstitious. Great name
.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Agree with you about Poku. If, and I know it’s a big if, we could get Poku and Lamptey fully fit and playing together down the right side that could be very exciting

Don't want to put a dampner on things, but the Millwall cup tie is nearly upon us.
That'll bring everybody back down to earth, and a week too, before our opening Championship fixture.
If there's two things QPR don't do, it's winning cup games, and London derbies.

We are at home and it's a new season, so cheer up and be up for it.😁
