Reply | End of Season Review - Live Now On The Patreon

A great listen, thanks Clive. Perfect summary of season, amazing turnaround being reminded of how bad we were under GA
Having reflected on how important Clive's writing and this website has been for getting me through the last 2 yrs of QPR, I've upgraded my patron sub to the max. Keep up the brilliant work. |

Colback superb today, but anyone else also noticed a real return to form for Field the Shield. The Haunting of Andre the Friendly Ghost has been exorcised. |

Was about to post the same thing. This is our best XI. I'm generally an optimist but the club is in freefall and probably already down. Only hope is this XI not getting injured or sent off, playing to its best, and beating wall and Huddersfield. Slim hopes. |

Good riddance. No one infuriates me more than Dozzell: gutless, hides from matches, too scared to impose himself on a game, and quiet on the field... the kind of character I wouldn't have in my kids team let alone in a pro team. I think we played better without him Sat, on reflection wonder if they didn't play as this move was being lined up |

My name is Paddy and I'm a lurker. I've been lurking for 12 years or so.
I'm from an Irish family who followed the Rs during their rise in the 60s & 70s, when they lived in Kilburn area. They all moved to Kent and took me to my first QPR game early 90s...i was a 13-year old Liverpool fan, and fell in love and converted on the spot.
I only get to a handful of games per season now, as I run community football for kids at weekends. Guess I don't engage on the forums as I feel like a two-bit fan compared to those who turn up each week, and esp those of you that suffer the torture of following this sh1tshow around the country.
It's a great forum with some folks whose opinions I value a lot, and now the only way to get real news & insights on QPR. The offish site, and all of the dogsh1t clickbait sites, mean that LFW is a refuge for fans like me. But mainly, like others have said, it's Clive's writing which is why I subscribe to patreon. I can't wait for every article, along with some great informed guests (those who write about tactics and club finances). I must confess to some full on man love for Clive...his writing is not just exceptional from a football perspective, but also as a social commentary. I work in charity / NHS space, and see daily how broken our public services and communities are (UK has 10 times more foodbanks in 15 years), and Clive's travel blog around England is a brilliant, funny, and poignant diary of the dire times we live in. Clive - I live in SE London too (Tulse Hill) - would love to buy you a beer some day.
The state of modern football, but in particular QPR is so utterly depressing. But like most of you I can't give it up. I guess I just hope we can turn it around given our history, our location, and in the main our brilliant fan base. I try to get my 10-year old son to follow too (taken him to 5 games - zero wins!)...but as he said to me last week "dad look how miserable it makes you...it's like a family curse".
Thanks to OP - a great idea to encourage some of us lurkers to step out of the shadows. |
