The Championship play off final is not an appropriate retirement party for a referee who has been miles off it physically for years. Poor Huddersfield man, I’d be stewing.
I mean we’d probably have called the dogs off at 2-0 if you’d asked nicely. But you boo Mark Prince at half time? Mark Prince.
4-0 barely covers it. Scum.
An absolute privilege to watch
@EbereEze10
grow into a startlingly brilliant footballer. I hope he smashes the Premier League up. Nobody deserves it more.
Here’s the farewell piece.
No phone calls this afternoon please we’re going to be on rum.

I thought we were pretty fantastic there. Had a mad minute in the first half, missed a penalty. On the end of genuinely one of the refereeing performances for the ages. Still got a draw, still could have won, still battering away right to the end. V proud of that tonight.
QPR applauded off.
Much better, midfield transformed.
Lousy defending for both goals.
I think at one stage we were 6 points adrift and at another out of it altogether.
It’s going to be a traumatic spring, but you’d take us playing like that.
Compelling.

I thought a disaster the size of Derby might wake football at our level up. Apparently not. Clubs still gambling their existence on getting promoted right now. If you put it all on black, you can’t be staging “fuck the EFL” marches when it comes up red.
We are now meant to be a development club. We have upset our entire team dynamic trying to force minutes into two loan players, who’ve been atrocious since they got here, at the expense of ones we own. Amos begs a start, scores, gets subbed for Hendrick again. It’s bullshit.

4-0
On Friday night, under the lights at Loftus Road, Queens Park Rangers landed on their wheels, pulled over and asked what you were worried about?

Played in the lockdown games when others refused 👀, potentially cost him a final career year. Should be remembered for that and a valuable 2 year contribution. Top pro.
There is, at this moment, somewhere just north of Derby, somebody sitting quietly with a book and a cup of tea, on an East Midlands Rail service to London, who has no clue whatsoever of what’s about to happen to them…
Already seeing fans of other Champ clubs on here giving a thumbs up to possibly appointing Warburton themselves this summer, which is exactly what we'd be doing if he'd just finished three years like this anywhere else.
Worth adding, Joe Lumley got a superb reception from the away end at full time and looked genuinely appreciative. Presumably a bit far for the Twitter trolls to bother attending? 😇
Well done QPR. Wouldn't want any sort of cup run to distract us from the vitally important and tremendously interesting nine month grind to a sixteenth place league finish. Fucking joke.
QPR still costs £1.5m a month just to exist, even in its pared down state. Who’s writing that cheque? We signed everybody ppl were clamouring for, and more, in the summer. The budget for the season was done there. It’s given us a great team, with a puncher’s chance.
The year is 4234. QPR's Intergalactic Lunar League Division Six fixture away to Reading has been moved to 0600 hours on Monday for live Sky coverage. It is the 1,500th consecutive time the game has been shown live. "Hur hur, they play in the same kit dunthey" a Sky spokesman said
I swear to Christ if anybody else tells me this lot do care and are trying their best I’m coming round their house with a board with a nail in it.
Every header. Every second ball.
John Terry spends the whole pre-match talking about which Premier League games he would be willing to play in, then phones in a performance like that. Leaves Chester to deal with Mitrovic and stands there doing fuck all while telling everybody else what they're doing wrong. 👊💦
We tried to play football. We tried to score goals, and looked like we had a plan as to how that may happen. That immediately makes it a million miles better. Missed some big chances, conceded a piss weak goal.
I’ve got a lot more time for that team, that performance, and that attitude than I did the previous weeks. The annoying thing is they’re way better than us so it doesn’t matter, and if we’d played like that v Peterborough, Barnsley, Hull… we’d be well in there.
That’s a shocker.
They are absolute drek, and were drek throughout. Crowd ready to turn given any sort of invitation.
We didn’t lay a glove on them.
Mindblowingly dumb stuff. Abysmal performance.
That’s probably the night that does it.
If you can have a Merry Christmas, I hope you do. If it's a shitty time, know you're not alone.
Team and club to be proud of, really come together in 2021, hopefully bright times to look forward to together.
Thankyou for your amazing, ongoing support of LFW. Means the world.
The richest sport in the world. The country that spends the most money on it in the world. And in the second tier you have fat old twats waddling round with a whistle missing shit like this.
I've had some low moments during all of this, but few have left me as bereft as waking up this morning and realising it's 364 days until we get to celebrate Anthony Gordon's 21st.
Fair enough. QPR ragged and poor, hurried into long ball and giving the ball away.
Barnsley about as good as I’ve seen against us this season, really excellent. Miles and miles ahead of us.
Unforgivably poor. Stinky attitude to much of that game. Like they thought it would be easy, and just happen. Pass it backwards and backwards and backwards and it’ll probably be ok. Nobody pushing, nobody forcing. Fucking fuming. Huge missed opportunity.
An interview we've wanted to do pretty much from the moment he left, finally recorded over several hours last week. Massive, massive thank you to
@alefaurlin
for sparing so much time to tell his fascinating story. Hands down to him...
Thought we did alright there. More than alright. Can’t score because of course we can’t score but I’ll take that performance over the drek we phoned in here last year. Begovic, Cook, Field, Armstrong big thick spine.
This team! 🙌 What the
@QPR
board and management have done to stabilise the club and assemble this squad, is nothing short of remarkable. There’s still plenty to play for, but to everyone at the club 👏👏👏

Team for Saturday: Joe Lumley, Liam Kelly; David Bardsley, Julie who sells AKUTRs, Connor Masterson (c), Mr Bun the Baker; The Rt Honourable Alan Johnson MP; Jude The Stadium Cat, Ebere Eze, Seann Walsh; Jordan Hugill
BOS on the bench, got to look after him.
Happy New Year everybody.
It’s been a shitshow.
To everybody who’s taken time out to say nice things, thank you, they’re nourishing at a tough time.
That first awayday back, even if it is Rochdale or Carlisle, that’s going to be quite a fucking day.
You R’s 🍻🍻
What a save from Dieng btw. Three minutes left, 1-0 up, ball comes through half the population of Luton, sees it late... stand up Seny, everybody look at Seny
20 seconds in, Sky commentator casually drops in the times the supporter coaches had to set off to get the Bournemouth fans here, as if the game landed in a 12.30 kick off slot because of an ancient curse cast on it by a fucking wizard.
#MIDBOU
I hate, HATE, seeing a young player get a big move and it doesn't work - the harder they try the worse it gets, the shoulders go down, the sadness envelops, they do things they'd never normally do. Seeing Lyndon start scoring, and then two today... very, very lovely. 🥰
We’ve gone haven’t we? 😞 how do you lose that from there like that? Fuck me.
In other news - Yoann Barbet is not the set piece taker. This fantasy needs to stop being indulged.
This group is soft as shit, mentally and physically. With the ball, always the easy option, back and back and back until Begovic, abdicate responsibility, zero bravery. Without it, lost every tackle, every 50/50, every header, every second ball. Piss weak.
#QPR
, thanks for loaning us your best player.
Quite literally hasn't put a foot wrong since he arrived. A starting 11 player.
Give us your price, we'll pay it.
#bcfc
A hostile reception from those left at full time.
Hands of apology from Adomah.
Ainsworth shakes head and walks away with rueful smile.
We’re in the shit lads.
I’d love to know what we think we’ve got out of that. Pick a couple of kids, try and give a bit of hope for next season, don’t involve ppl who won’t be here… nah. Just serve up a club record 12th home defeat, and stick the ssn tickets on sale next week. Fuck me. Abysmal.
Balogun, on his arse for 5 months, graces us with his presence as part of “the cavalry”, gives the stupidest penalty you’ve ever seen away after 5 mins, costs us the game, then comes and kicks it off with the away end at full time 😂💪
Lot better in the end. Big result from 2-0 down with it in danger of turning nasty. Actually calmed down and played a bit. Inches away from 2 late winners. Better.
