QPR v West Bromwich Albion – When Just Enough Was Good Enough
FA Cup 3rd Round A disappointing crowd of less than 9,000 was thoroughly underwhelmed by the FA Cup fare at Loftus Road against West Bromwich Albion. The poor turnout was effectively guaranteed by the club’s misguided policy of charging ¬£25 per adult ticket, but was also influenced by the recent expense for many of the Continue reading

Harry Redknapp made four changes from the line-up which succumbed to West Brom at Loftus Road on Boxing Day for the final Premier League clash of 2012.

QPR v West Bromwich Albion – Festive Cheer in Short Supply on Boxing Day

He cut Continue reading
Wigan Athletic v QPR: Three on the Bounce – Draws that is…..
Queen’s Park Rangers continued their search for the first elusive win of the season up at a chilly and damp DW Stadium. This was against a Wigan side missing a number of first team regulars, including Gary Caldwell, Maynor Figueroa and former R’s loanee Ben Watson who broke his leg in a challenge with former Continue reading
QPR v Aston Villa – The Unlikely Becomes Implausible, but is it Impossible ?
Queen’s Park Rangers failed to win a Premier League game at the15th time of asking this season. By common agreement this match against a poor, anonymous Villa side was as “must win” as they come. Our team managed only to draw against fellow relegation strugglers in Harry Redknapp’s first home game in charge. This left Continue reading
