Can't even beat 10 men.

Quite Pathetic Really. Hollowhead has no tactical nouse and Bircham has none either. We've been screaming to get back McLaren as an assistant as he is available. When he was here, the defence was better and we could attack and finish. 

Still no strikers, Sylly Sylla out injured thank fudge, Smith is not a striker, Mackie is thankfully out injured too as he couldn't score in a brothel. Washington can't score at this level and that is our "major" strike force that Hollowhead insists on using.

Just unfudgeingbelievable.

Not me. I am just blown away that the club still have not signed a striker. We have four useless fudges, that think they are strikers but Bryant & May are more successful.

I've about had enough of Olly.

Should not have come back. Biggest mistake was sacking Warnock.

Up to 15th now with back to back wins. Still think we've been poor throughout the season, but we now have breathing space. 

We're on Bein Sport vs Fulham tomorrow morning at 1:45am for anyone who's interested.

Thanks for the heads up treefiddy. Thoroughly enjoyed my game watching QPR in their nice compact stadium before Xmas. Will def watch this one. 

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

That compact stadium is what the Phoenix need.

4-1! What the hell has changed in the past few weeks. 

There's a very good piece on The Swiss Rumble regarding the finances of the club. Looks as though we're finally on track to be sustainable.

yay, that means less goals being set up for the opposition to score from. Sorry but was never really enthused by him. Mackie gone too. time for the deadwood to be dumped. We have some youngsters coming through that are really exciting and can do a decent job of it as they have proved.

Just got my home and 3rd kit Jersey (4XL) and the fit perfectly. That green and black one looks awesome.

Wouldn't mind McClaren. Ollie wants a time out to enioy his family after losing his mum. Fair enough too.

3-0 win over Hertha Berlin this morning. Just need to get rid of Washington and Sylla. FFP problem resolved. Can't wait to see how they slam Villa.

Union Berlin*

It was a pre-season game, hence the lack of supporters Royce. I wouldn't read too much into it.

 On the right is the then (1978) most expensive goalkeeper in the world when he transferred from QPR to West Ham for 565,000 Pounds STG. Oh how times have changed. The guy on the left  wan't to wear the hoops but the club did not sign him up. Their loss, he'd have cost next to nothing....

Happy Belated Birthday Phil Parkes - 67 on August 8th.

Brilliant pic there LG! I can't believe Parkes is 67 though - how time flies.

Nothing wrong with looking like a slightly overweight, ( I could shift this in a week or so but have other stuff to do), Yul Brynner mate.

I took this picture in 1980 v Swansea, John Toshack was the Swans player Manager. Tony Currie on the ball.

Ipswich 0 QPR 2. Bragging rights till the next time we meet HN. Although it saddens me that Town are having such a bad season. Always had time for them. Been to their Portman Road to watch a 0-0 with QPR back in the early 80's.

Honestly, if we keep this up and finish top 10 I'll be ecstatic. If we make the play offs, I think I'll have a heart attack 

27 Dec 18:21

I'd love for us to finish top 8 and at least be competitive. Sick of the struggling coming from behind crap.
