Reply | The last post and silence
at 17:22 6 Nov 2025
Do you know what stunned me? Just how long it took the announcer to read the list of former QPR and Southampton players who died in those two wars. I was genuinely shocked.
Looking it up - 28 QPR/Former QPR players served in WW1. 10 were killed. More than 1 in 3.
I knew about 800,000 British soldiers died in WW1 - but it's hard to relate a number like that to real people.
But, that list of names. I just thought of the survivors looking at a team photo post-war and seeing the faces that didn't live. |

Sadly, a 35% home win rate is right on par for lower-mid table.
I was thinking about your comment and I expected the % win rate to be higher.
Looking at the last five years we've averaged W/D/L at home of 35%/27%/38%. The average for the teams finishing between 11-20 place is W/D/L: 37%/26%/36%.
That works out as on average teams placing between 11 and 20 get 32 home points and we average 30 points.
That's not to disrespect your comment - but I guess it's about expectations.
For me what was disappointing was that a poor Southampton team were there for the taking and we didn't. |

Wow - that could be very good news.
I was worrying it was a two year deal expiring Summer 26! |

Madsen seems to be developing from a talented young man into a real player. Well done to him, JS and the club's coaching team.
How long is his contract?
Is it too early to be talking about negotiating an extension?
And the boy deserves a song! |

Thread | Left wing/Right wing English clubs
at 09:17 21 Oct 2025
Thinking about the furore over banning Macabi fans from Villa and the recent cancellation of the TelAviv derby between Macabi which attracts right wing fans and Hapoel which attracts left wing fans.
Does England have any clubs that have a recognised left wing following - i.e. in the style of St Pauli?
I think of us a genuinely integrated, community focussed club but apolitical. |

Worth remembering if you don’t get tickets through the ballot there is a returns / resale phase in the spring for people unsuccessful in the ballot . We’ve got tickets through this the last couple of years. |

Reply | Stephan stands by team selection after QPR draw and gives Clarke-Salter update
at 15:17 2 Oct 2025
The more I see of him the more I respect him. Seems pretty sincere and thoughtful and as open as someone in his position can be.
I'd have rather he started with a stronger team, but he justified his selection, fair enough, I get it. I suspect he might tweak it when next faced with the same situation. Trouble is, in our wider UK blame culture if you fess up to every 'minor misjudgement' people very quickly make out you don't what you're doing.
On balance, 8 games, 12 points, unbeaten in 5 and a team that generally looked in control last night. The guy is doing good! |

Reply | The Ultimate Dilemna - what would you do ???
at 12:59 1 Oct 2025
I'd have taken a long time to get over it as well.
But, I note your spelling of 'dilemna'. I guess you went to school in the 70s and like me, are sure we were taught that it is spelled with an 'n'.
Apparently it's always been spelt 'mm'. It's the Mandela Effect - apparently, we're all party to some collective misremembering. It was commonly mispelled and somehow 'people' have decided they were taught it as 'mn' at school.
I know what I was taught! Bizarre. |

Mbengue taking the flag was funny… and did you see Jimmy ever so calmly taking the flag off him, like a primary schoolteacher with a naughty boy and giving it back to the ball boy! The captain’s job spec is very broad!! |

Hi I’ve used the commercial team at Farrers for some tricky negotiations. They are expensive but very good. I’d recommend them.
Good luck |

Pure poetry! Finding a few words that distil both a person and a moment so perfectly is such a gift.
I will remember that description of Koki for a long time!
Great writing. And like so many others on here I really enjoy and appreciate your work on LFW! |

From where I was sitting in I reckon Madsen had a decent game. That 30m pass the Smith, the free kick, picking Jimmy out on the far post. But also competing in midfield getting stuck in with feet and head. He’s never going to be an animal but he was decently assertive.
Also in the first 30 saw Dembele putting some tackles in although he faded a bit.
Overall pretty decent |

I’m sure the self-serving fckd up premier league would make the same argument about promotion from the championship given the promoted teams have been relegated again. |

Real honesty about his struggles with confidence.
I'm surprised in a way the club would run an interview like that - it's not your normal 'all's good here - looking forward to the next game' stuff clubs post.
But, I think it's a good thing - we all struggle at times and good on him and the club for putting it out there.
Saw him in some of those last games and he's got talent and vision. Really hope it works out this year. |

Having watched the interview- what a grounded, thoughtful, warm guyJimmy is. I am delighted by the news and impressed by the man.
My take is he genuinely wants to develop as a leader and a person. I reckon he knows his strengths and limitations and wants to make the most of them. And being a leader in a big heritage club like us means something.
Also, I reckon losing your dad at 27 makes you think hard about what you want from life. It’s clear he’s done that.
And I have to say I look at every other club in the league and ask would I want to live there? With the possible exception of Bristol, no chance. Chiswick ain’t so bad! |

Absolutely agree, very badly handled, with no thought to the likely outcome. I'd also guess, pretty badly advised by the clubs lawyers.
Evryone who's replied on this has a pragmatic view of how this situation would likely play out. Surprising neither the club nor its lawyers could see that. |

I expect MC's on gardening leave as part of a disciplinary process for having talked to WBA.
Assuming MC is still on gardening leave the club can't start talking about recruiting a new manager publicly because it could prejudice its case against MC and open itself up to a claim of constructive dismissal and substantial compensation.
Not great from a supporter perspective but if not communicating reduces the risk of, say a £0.5m-£1m payout it makes sense. |
