FA Cup 3rd Round Replay A solitary Danny Gabbidon goal was enough to see QPR scrape past a plucky MK Dons side and set up a home tie with neighbours Chelsea in the 4th Round. In doing so QPR got rid of one of the most unwanted losing streaks that saw no win in this Continue reading

Team: Kenny, Hill, Gabbidon, Ferdinand, Young, Derry, Buzsaky (Macheda), Mackie, Wright-Phillips, Bothroyd, Helguson (Smith). Subs Not Used: Cerny, Orr, Hall, Ephraim, Campbell Attendance: 49,865 (including 1,300 R’s fans) This was my first visit to Newcastle since Rangers lost there in the 1995/96 first Keegan era. In the interim the ground has been extensively rebuilt and Continue reading

In some ways the news of Neil Warnock’s departure wasn’t a total surprise, opinions had been very mixed recently and last week Tony Fernandes had also reportedly stated that: ‘nobody’s job was safe’. However, the expectation was that Neil Warnock would still have significant funding at his disposal to strengthen the squad. Neil Warnock will Continue reading

Tony Fernandes had more than hinted last week that Neil Warnock’s departure could be forthcoming and the Club then issued the following statement yesterday: ‘Queens Park Rangers Football Club has today (Sunday 8th January 2012) parted company with Manager Neil Warnock. Warnock joined the Club in March 2010, overseeing 84 matches in charge, winning 33, Continue reading

Subs Not Used: Murphy, Orr, Connolly, Andrade Attendance: 19,506 (Stadium record and including over 5,000 R’s fans) I thought that it was another inept, and at times diabolical performance. Helguson managed to get us out of Continue reading

Norwich City snatched a late winner at Loftus Road against ten-man QPR as the hosts slump continued. Steve Morison was the Canaries hero with the late winning goal, but it will be Joey Barton who will make all the headlines as first he gave QPR the lead, then was sent off in bizarre circumstances before Continue reading

Arsenal edged out London rivals QPR with a hard fought win thanks to a goal from Robin van Persie. Or should I say Robin van Persie beat QPR 1-0 as it appears that without the flying Dutchman this Arsenal team would be mid-table, more of which later. The last time we dragged ourselves over to Continue reading

Warnock made three changes for the trip to South Wales – Taarabt, Hill and Hall coming in for Wright-Phillips, Connolly and Gabbidon. This left us with a new central defensive partnership, with all three of the replaced dropping to the bench. Swansea meanwhile lined up with two former Rangers players (one an ex-loanee) on either Continue reading

A late goal by Sunderland’s Wes Brown put paid to QPR’ s 2nd half fight back as they recovered from going two goals behind. Goals by Heidar Helguson and Jamie Mackie had cancelled out Nicklas Bendtner and Stephane Sessegnon earlier strikes. QPR’s dismal run continued at Loftus Road as Sunderland inflicted the third defeat on Continue reading

Some of our players struggled Continue reading
