BIG game tonight, second only in West London derbies to Brentford v Fulham.

QPR "entertain" - not sure that's the correct adjective - Fulham, at Loftus Road.

Rather surprisingly (to me), the Bookies make QPR 9/4 in places, & better than 2/1 everywhere, whereas the visitors are as short as 6/5, 13/10 in places.

I'm not sure those prices make sense to me, & I may be forced to have a small wager on QPR.  

I wonder if blonde's only QPR supporter will dare commit himself before the game?

I find it impossible to despise Fulham in the same manner I do Chelsea and Brentford.

Fulham are like that Uncle you only see at family occasions who is always good for a laugh or two, and never offends anyone.

Then you forget about for a couple of years.

Ha, good analogy. Fulham don't seem to stir much emotion, & are largely inoffensive it seems to me.

What family analogy would you use for, say, Chelsea, &, (I may regret this...) Arsenal?

Big night tonight, Sky TV Cameras & everything, when the itinerants of Loftus Road entertain - rofl @ entertain - their better-bred West London neighbours.

QPR are very much the underdogs, despite being at home.

QPR 15/8

Brentford 11/8

Draw, 5/2.

Hurts me to say, but Brentford are on a completely different level to QPR right now.

Benham is doing with them what Bloom has done at Brighton.

Woods, Vibe, Canos and Watkins all absolutely different class. And when they are sold, the money earned will be spent by replacing them with even better players. You can bet your life on that.

It's the power of numbers and analytics over traditional scouting and buying and selling of players.

I think your are pretty accurate in your assessment of Benham's approach there Keith but yesterday also highlighted the pitfall of the developement churn - you are in a perpetual state of inexperience. No way a more experienced team concedes that second goal. Ultimately that'll be the difference between a good midtable side and a true promotion challenger.

To be fair we have pretty much a complete back four out injured.

Bidwell is the only one who played last night who'd be first choice I think. (Although what is going on in Holloway's head is anyone's guess)
