Here We Go Again

The final pre-season friendly for my beloved 'R's just finished at the Kiyan Prince Stadium in Shepherds Bush. They drew 3-3 with PL Leicester City, who equalised with a penalty in the final minutes. Celebrating Barbet's goal are the other QPR scorers, Dickie & Austin.

We looked rather good. After beating MUFC in the last home game, albeit also in a friendly match, hope is starting to rise from the depths of our hearts. Shhhhhhhhh! This is what it means to be a football fan, to be a QPR fan. Looks like we're going to have a bit of a ride this season. COYRS!

Leicester Likely Lad

The year is 1985. Young ravaj is now well enough known by the QPR secretary to receive the occasional photographer's pass for games of lesser gravitas. She's on the pitch! This Leicester City chap seemed rather adorable, and turned out to be quite a good player as well.

Ishmael Miller? Call Me Delighted!

So my beloved QPR win another match and are eight points clear at the top of the table with eleven matches to go. Today they were well-matched by Leicester City, but nicked it in the 88th minute with a great goal by substitute Ishmael Miller on loan from WBA.

It sounded on the radio as if the crowd is beginning to believe that we'll be playing with the big boys in August. Is it safe to believe yet? Is it safe? Excuse me while I go look for some oil of cloves ...
