Iām assuming itās Arsenalās decision to arrange the 4th Round FA Youth Cup Tie with the Rs for Saturday 18th January. 5pm KO.
On the same day QPR first XI play away at Plymouth at 12.30 (Plymouth to Boring Wood in 2 hours for kick off?)
The disdain they show for their own supporters and youth players is even worse - the Arsenal first XI are at home to Villa at 5.30.
Why not play the game midweek like most clubs do? I was expecting the game to be at Boreham Wood which it is and with a bit of PR they could have got a decent crowd along.
I thought Iād accepted that money had fcuked everything up and Iām surprised Iām incensed by this. Clueless body-trafficking puppy-farm visit-Rwandacorporate-entity excuse of a football club.
For a mateās 50th off to the Basque derby, Sunday night. Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad. Plan to stay a few days, maybe visit Geurnica, and if itās safe a bit of swimming off San Sebastian. Any tips from the well travelled and discerning LFW-er will be gratefully received.
Friday trivia. Who were the first foreign team ever to visit Athletic Bilbao? The year was 1913. The team was from West London, and they won 1-0.
Then we can say in March we beat the Champions of England and in April we beat the Champions of Europe (ha ha ha) and both by the same scoreline ā¦ 4 flippinā 0 !!!
My first QPR game. Away in SW6. Stan was the first Rās player I noticed. His performance that day mesmerised me. He had style, swagger, and the skills to pay the (bookmakerās) bills. Every time he got the ball (I was in the Shed) the home crowd booed and called him every cuss under the sun - he didnāt give a fk. He was part footballer. Part rock star. Even before the first half finished he was my idol. The anti-hero. There were 11 (12?) QPR players on the pitch that day and I love āem and could (probably) name āem all but if there was no Stan there may have been no QPR for me. Stan was, is, and will always be the man šš¼
Does anyway have any memories of the game? Thereās no footage of it. I remember it being a proper humdinger ding-dong London derby. 3-3. Stan definitely scored. My (unreliable) memory tells me in spectacular fashion from outside the box.
Fifty years later and just another uneventful QPR day. Hereās to the next 50.
Like a lot of you, Iām sure, Ive spent the past 24 hours genning up on our man Marti. Iāve ingested so much tactical technical knowledge that itās oozing from my cerebellum and trickling out of my ears. Inverted fullbacks, asymmetrical number eights, oscillating presses, semi-permeable through balls, gaussian set-pieces, roving pentacular midfield nano-presses, throw-ins! throw-ins that reach your team-mates!
Iām prepared to be patient and for there be a period of transition, but serious question, how much effective knowledge, which can be immediately applied, can he impart to the team in the four full days between being appointed and his first game away at Rotherham on Saturday?
Iām fascinated to know how weāll line up Saturday and who will be the personnel. Iām just wondering how much info he can expect to give them in such a short space of time without peopleās heads exploding.
Those in the know have said heās half been expecting to be appointed Rs manger for some time so heās been keeping an eye on our performances (his ribs must be aching) so possibly he has an immediate plan in place. I just wonder how much he can expect to transform the team in the space of four days? Just asking cos we could do with the points.
