The Official Queens Park Rangers FC Thread

[The Camel]

If we are starting threads about every little team, might as well have one about the mighty QPR and their inevitable rise to the Premiership.

Is Adel Taarabt the second coming of Maradona?

Who should QPR sign to cover for the unfortunate injury to Jamie Mackie?

If Bernie Ecclestone doesn't splash some cash will Warnock walk?

Is there a better anagram in the world than Colin Wanker?

What are the plans for Loftus Rd if you get promoted?

What are the plans for Loftus Rd if you get promoted?

When Flavio and his cohorts first came in, there was lots of talk of finding a new venue somewhere to the west of London.

Loftus Road is clearly too small to sustain a Premiership club, but all the talk of a new stadium has gone quiet over the last 18 months, even though the BBC have recently put a big proportion of their White City property (about a mile from Loftus Road) up for sale which would have been perfect for a new stadium.

Basically noone knows what Ecclestone, Flavio and Mittal's plans are for the club.

They saved us from the possibility of going to the wall, for which everyone will be grateful for, but they certainly aren't the sgar daddies everyone expected them to be.

Possibly they are hoping to get promotion as cheaply as possible and then flog the club.

Fave player of all time?

Trevor Sinclair- better with or without dreadlocks?

When I was out in Vegas playing cash one night I got talking to the guy next to me. He was a big US soccer fan and so took a big interest in English football, especially the US players.

Never did I expect to meet an American who remembers this as much as I do.

Stan Bowles was a tiny bit before my time. The first season I started going was his last at QPR, but he was always a genius.

I loved Simon Stainrod. He was class, taking the piss out of the opposition, undervalued skill wise and really unlucky not a have had a England career.

There were others too, Tony Currie, Roy Wegerle, Sir Les, Paul Parker, Clive Wilson and Ray Wilkins. For a small club, we have been blessed with alot of class players. Variance I guess.

Trev will always be dreadlocked in my mind. Because he had flowing locks when he did this:



The best goal I'll ever see.

Never seen away fans give a goal a standing ovation before or since.

The bittersweet aspect to our season is that two people to thank for it are Bernie Ecclestone and Neil Warnock, two men who, if I'd seen them on fire, I would quickly have downed a bottle of vodka so I could piss pure alcohol on them.

Was Don Masson before your time? A living God whilst in Nottingham.

Nope, definitely saw him play.

He captained Scotland didn't he?

I think Notts County had his best days, but he was certainly very good for us too.

Congrats on getting a point against Norwich this season.

Very much this.

Hated Warnock for many years, his behaviour in that Sheff Utd/WBA game where 3 of his players wer red carded and he tried to get another of his players sent off to get the game abandoned was despicable.#

His handling of Taarabt has been fantastic and he has QPR playing football he has never had any of his other teams playing.

Yes he did captain Scotland for a short while, he was a natural leader. He played out of his skin for County and was one of the best Sirrel finds, of which there were many. He joined QPR around the same time as David Needham, if I recall correctly. We had one come ove the other way but am damned if I can remember who it was.

We are extremely lucky to be where we are.

Mackie started the season in incredibly hot form and scored 8 in 9 or something ridic.

We have eeked out points which we don't deserve several times.

Oh, and we have the best player in the division by a country mile. He has probably won us 12points single handed.

It would be a criminal waste of such a great start if the board do not invest a couple of million in a proven striker to replace Mackie (Becchio, Cox or Austin plz).
