Queen’s Park Rangers Vs Birmingham City 14 September 2013: Never mind the style, look at the table…
The Championship returned to Loftus Road after another of those tiresome international breaks. Just when a season is beginning to gather momentum, a blank window in the schedule comes along and lets a good deal of the air out. The day began with a visit to the Crown & Sceptre where I had the pleasure Continue reading
Leeds United v QPR
QPR’s third 1-0 league victory in a row ensured that they left West Yorkshire with all 3 points in another tightly contested Championship match at Elland Road. This was the R’s first victory over Leeds since a 3-1 win back in the 1995-96 season. The 1-0 score-line in this game suggests it was a narrow Continue reading

Queen’s Park Rangers Vs Ipswich Town 17 August 2013: The fine start continues, this time with a sterner test…
An icy blast of winter made an unexpected August return to W12 as the ‘Tractor Boys’ came to town. Well, not really ‘icy’, but you would be forgiven for thinking so by the appearance of blankets amongst the ‘prawn sandwich brigade’ of the C Club. It wasn’t the most pleasant of summer afternoons as a Continue reading

Huddersfield Town Vs Queen’s Park Rangers 10 August 2013 – Everything but the result
The Superhoops made their first competitive away trip of the new season to the John Smith’s, formerly Galpharm, formerly McAlpine Stadium.

Whilst the Continue reading
