0-0 Final, I'll take that but we should never have lost those two points at Millwall. That's only given us 2 points from 3 away games in a row.
If any of you have Sommet Sport, the Championship games on there and the german football make it all worthwhile.
Being teased as a QPR fan is nothing new. I can handle it. Knowing our history for the last 38 years, I know I would too.

1 nil over Charlton and top equal with Burnley and Leicester. 35 points each.
went to the game against Charlton on Saturday. It was not a bad game, but QPR really should have won by more. They played some decent football, but after they went ahead (through a brilliant goal by Charlie Austin) they were too conservative instead of trying to kill the game off.
It was an interesting day as (due to me being an idiot) I went to Wembley to watch the rugby league semi final between England and NZ first. Atmosphere at the league was great, with all the fans intermingling and able to drink beer at their seats, while the football was just full of the usual fuckwits. All through the 2nd half we had one bloke (supporting QPR) trying to start a fight with a bloke a couple of seats down (who also supported QPR). Just stood there with a relentless dialogue of "c'mon, lets go then. Lets do it right here, try and punch me, come on, have a go. Right now, let's just go.......etc, etc, etc" Just non stop for about half an hour, and fuck it was embarrassing. On top of this, we were right by the Charlton fans so there was the standard "banter" of everyone calling each other pedo's, etc.
It makes me wonder why football attracts such fuckwits? The difference in attitude and atmosphere between this game and the league was miles apart.
Every club has its fuck wits and we have ours. There's one before the courts at the mo whom may have allegedly been involved directly or indirectly with an incident with an Everton fan. I hope he gets 10 years myself.
3-0 over the Cherries, Blackburn visit us this weekend. Top of the League from leicester. I hope Burnley haven't blown out, I'm hoping that we'd both go up. Fingers crossed.
Watching Blackpool play Spurs invitational XI: Carroll, BAE, Kranjcar and Jenas all in the team on the pitch.
(on Sommet Sports now)
Crikey - Tony Warner is on the bench for Blackpool.
I've recorded it. I know we played shit but still got a result.
Reserve players for the hoops at Everton, Cesar played his first game this season. Come on Harry, show fans and the FA Cup some respect.
Ipswich 1 QPR 3
I flew from Penang to Kuala Lumpur last week on this. Was actually done very well, inside each second overhead locker had a logo with some fact from QPR history and the at the front of the plane they had a huge whiteboard where you could leave messages for the team.
Cheers for that. One was named the Alan McDonald in reference to a QPR legend whom passed away three years ago.
At last, some good news. The "Alec Stock" day game against his other former club - Yeovil. 3-0 to the hoops of blue and white. RIP Alec, you were an excellent Manager and good guy in the 60's to the 80's for both clubs.

And now for the bad news... 65.4 millions pounds sterling = last year's losses, the biggest loss made by any club in England. Only Man City and Chelsea have ever lost more in a single year. It gets worse. Under Football League Fair Play rules, failure to secure promotion will result in a lengthy transfer embargo. And if they do manage to claw their way back into the EPL the fine they will get will be so heavy it could undermine the club's survival. Plus, a similar loss this season would mean a fine in excess of 50 mill - a record in British football.

Two words
"HARRY REDKNAPP"
... who has finally been proven correct in just claims that "he ain't no wheela deala"
There are a few clubs in worse positions than us. Foolham and Bolton spring to mind. Then again if the Russian gets bored at Chelsea they ae seriously fucked, so too is Man United if the yanks pull the plug having used Uniteds own profits to pay of the debts in the US.
Although you can actually thank Gianni Paladini, Flavio Briatore and Bernie Ecclestone for most of our debt. Tony Fernandez is responsible for some and so too is Phillip Beard whom came in with zero football experience on the back of his Olympics position and generously signed and gave player blank cheque contracts. Classic example is Adel Taarabt signed and paft if the deal was that Spuds get 40%, yes you read that right, 40% of any future transfer which it looks like Milan will get him.
Harrys only real problem is he prefers to sign 30+ year olds that are injury prone. Oddly enough when Steve McLaren was at the club on a temp basis, we were tearing other sides to pieces. As witnessed with Derbys turn around since his arrival there.
At long friggen last, a win. 5-2 over the Trees. Derby Cunty still ahead of us but Burnley out of reach.
2-1 over Wigan in extra time. Charlie Austin two more goals but Derby are looking quite formiddable to be honest. McClaren has really got them on fire. Wish he was still at QPR myself.
Keep the faith LG!! Sommet Sports not showing the Play off final WTF!!! Might have to resign to Sky. Had a nightmare last night - QPR 1 Derby 1 AET. We lost 4-2 on penalties....
I think it is on Sky Sport 2. I start work at 6am so hopefully it'll be done and dusted but I think I'll miss the last 15 minutes. I think Derby have the edge but if we actually show up so be it. I keep on thinking about Oxford in 1985 though.
On Sky at 1.50am. I don't expect to get much sleep between now and then. Kids football called off today. I was hoping that would be a distraction for a while. I keep thinking of our last Wembley visit and it actually gives me confidence that we can pull this off. Derby seem to be everyone's favourites just like we were in '86 but we have the quality in this side to be more than competitive just haven't shown it much this season. Really hope that Yun plays as B A-E doesn't deserve a Wembley outing. Enjoy it all you NZ Rs!
Damn, was hoping it would be on Sommet. I would have got up to watch that.

Unfortunately Sky already bought the rights a few years ago and it's the only Championship game they broadcast every year.
Would make more sense to eventually have the Champ Play-off final on Sommet since they have rights to the regular season and all the other Play-off games.
Will be no end of live streams available for free though.

Long night for me, work at 6am too. Still with the earlier ko, I can get to see extra time and pens if necessary and still make it to work.
Fire up lads, a lot of us are in the chat room on the qprreport mb.
Bobby Zamora in the 90t, you ripper!
Grats LG but I hear that it may be a posioned challace with the possibility of fine if you go up???
40 million pound fine like Man City copped but the lawyers are on to it. Still with 120+ million coming in, it's a dent but not end of the world. To be honest a shit game and O'Neil deserved to go. What a braindead moment. Derby though, should have made the most of their chances and squandered them. There were a few in that QPR line up and I'd get rid of before next season but sadley, it wont happen. There's also a few out on loan that will be gotten rid of. Thank fuck Park has retired. He is typical of the "last big pay day" types the club took on in the hope of not getting relegated and we're paying his wages till the 1st of June. I'd like to see Remy stay. Playing in the World Cup will hopefully see him score a few and increase his value.
Congrats LG, Redknap's plan worked and your lot had the experience
Derby were good to watch but I expect you might do a better job of surviving than they would (I guess we have no idea which players will actually be in the squad come August)
dramatic game - enjoy the return LG!
<3 Bobby, pleased to see QPR back in the Prem.
How fucking stupid did the backs of the shirts the players put on at the final whistle look?
Hate QPR. Hate Redknapp and his stupid twitchy face. Hope you go straight back down.
I'm sure they really care about you too Buffon. Perhaps it'll take another 9 years to help ease your pain?
Looking forward to the game against Hull and also Crystal Palace next season.
Oh dear, someone's forgot to take their pills!
That game summed up our entire season - we were crap going forward but defended solidly and pinched the result. Daylight robbery really. Jeepers but we are dire to watch. But we ARE IN THE PREM!!!!
Hate QPR. Hate Redknapp and his stupid twitchy face. Hope you go straight back down.
no, in fact a reason to rejoice if you are in the brown bag trade.
Why is that?

QPR begin to attempt to splash some cash: made an offer to Man Utd for Tom Cleverley apparently:
Not happening Pete.
