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

The Dove – 19 Upper Mall, Hammersmith, London W6: A Mysterious Challenger Arrives & then Disappears.
A few years ago I managed to pick up a copy of George Izzard’s rare book, ‘One for the Road’. Written in the late 1950’s, it’s described as ‘the autobiography of a London Village publican. He arrived at ‘The Dove’ on a misty November afternoon in 1929 and his book takes us through nearly thirty Continue reading
QPR v Norwich City – Who Says that the Pantomime Season is Over ?
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 v QPR – Welcome to the Pleasuredome
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

Swansea City v QPR – Super Mac to the Rescue
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

QPR v Sunderland – The Nightmare before Christmas
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
