Really lovely this. You Rs 💙

A lovely report of a funny, and ultimately fun, match. And sharing one from the cutting room floor of the train back this morning.

Allow me to introduce my new theory of Elon Musk: he is, in fact, Jimmy from In Bruges ✅ Racist ✅ On very strong horse tranquiliser ✅ Convinced some mad civil war is imminent youtu.be/1H5qrLJClJ0?...

The Rs have been flying of late - with less possession, less pressing, and more goals. Does the game model approve? As always, delighted to be digging into some data for @loftforwords.bsky.social

Fantastic to see the club rallying around for @qprnewyorkcity.bsky.social's Lily Green, who has been diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer. You can buy a special edition QPR NYC t-shirt or donate to support her - details here www.qpr.co.uk/news/2025/oc...

What Chansiri is doing to Sheffield Wednesday could happen to any club. Great to get Bethany & Jake on to talk about it in more detail. So important football fans stick together in the face of this stuff (because the EFL sure as hell isn't helping us) - best wishes to Sheff Weds fans (after Sat)

🚨New pod alert!🚨 A slightly different look to things this week as @finneyqpr.bsky.social, @pengelaw.bsky.social & @scheza.bsky.social are joined by @bethanycpatrick.bsky.social from SWFCWSG and Jake Lee from the SWFC Trust to discuss what the hell's going on at Sheff Weds ahead of our match on Sat

Fun pod this week! Though did manage to squeeze in a bit of a rant at the end about this INSANE article. www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...

#QPRCHA Preview-ish Not quite Craig David. A monster preview for a monstrous week at QPR. #qpr

Excellent report by @jperry2000.bsky.social, hope the powers that be read this (they will) and maybe take heed of some of the points (they won't).

*Ah shit here we go again.gif*

🚨NEW SEASON POD ALERT🚨 We're back! Pre-season starts here as @finneyqpr.bsky.social, Paul Rees, @stokesie.bsky.social, Paul Curtis & @scheza.bsky.social build some match fitness. We talk Stéphan, signings, friendlies, formations, and Finney almost sleeping on the streets of Perpignan. Naturellement

🚨End of season pod alert!🚨 @finneyqpr.bsky.social is joined by Simon Hall, Jawad Laouria, and @scheza.bsky.social to look back over 2024/2025 🎢, get excited about the dev squad 🏆, discuss the managerial situation 🤨, and look at what the squad needs this summer 🖋️

Excellent piece by @jonawils.bsky.social (via @stephenkb.bsky.social) on purity of philosophy among football managers *cough* Russell Martin *cough* and the implications of shoehorning raw materials into a very fixed world (/football) view. We'll forgive him the bus stop reference. [1/3]

💙 Beyond the Rs: Cancer Conversations 💙 Sometimes your football club is about much more than football. @finneyqpr.bsky.social sits down with @speedingalong.bsky.social, Ian Randall and Andy Sinton for a frank and moving discussion about their experiences with cancer.

Following @dbhoops.bsky.social appearance on the @qprpod.bsky.social, it has been announced that QPRNYC The Podcast has put him on gardening leave, and there not be a pod this week. Normal service will be resumed next week

Also, offering for free to headline writers: Heaven to Betsy Keep Calm and Carry On

Well at least we've extended our partnership with Net World Sports for [redacted] more years

🚨New pod live!🚨 In another quiet, uneventful week for QPR, @finneyqpr.bsky.social is back with @loftforwords.bsky.social, George Sharp, Saffa Michail and @scheza.bsky.social They discuss recent games, whether Cifuentes is really off - and what this means for the club. ⚠️ Warning: contains rants

Leaving Euston, hungover, at 9:30 today on a train busier than a rush hour tube and hotter than the surface of the sun had me posing some pretty searching questions of myself. And then, of course, they go and do that and I'm back 13 hours later and wouldn't change any of it for the world. You Rs

📰 Programming note 👇 (We can neither confirm nor deny rumours that we were *too* excited about the trip to Preston to record)

🚨New pod alert!🚨 This week @finneyqpr.bsky.social is joined by Chris Charles, Saffa Michail, Stephen Street, and the one and only Clint Hill! They discuss a BIG win at Oxford's ground with a Vue 🍿, the ongoing injury issues 🤕, and ask if we'll be playing Clint's Stockport side next season...⬆️

This. 100%, undiluted, full strength, take one from the top shelf, do pass Go and collect £200, make mine a double - this

Exhibit D etc etc. But a few brain dead moments aside that was a good team performance overall and Christ what a relief.

If you still needed any evidence of what Sam Field brings to this team, allow me to present exhibition C: QPR today with and without Sam Field (Exhibition B being Norwich away and Exhibition A being EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GAME HE'S EVER MISSED)

And if you can afford to and would like to donate, here is the link for Tiger Feet 💙💙💙 www.givengain.com/campaign/tig...

🚨New pod!🚨 This week @finneyqpr.bsky.social, Simon and Steve: Grumble about Stoke 👎 Reflect on the season more widely 🤔 Look forward to Cardiff and Oxford 😬 And shout out Tiger Feet 15 🐯🐯🐯 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

Was brought in to bolster the Andy numbers on this month's @loftforwords.bsky.social patreon pod. Cheeriness: low Andyness: high Tiger feet: lovely #keepitandy

With the season hopefully spluttering to a slow end rather than collapsing into a crisis, I used my latest @loftforwords.bsky.social column to look at the data behind some broader themes that have cropped up recently...

#STOQPR 3-1 Seven more of these then I'm turning my phone off. #qpr

🚨New pod!🚨 This week Simon hosts, joined by George Sharp, Chris Charles & @scheza.bsky.social to discuss: ☝️A good point vs Leeds 🔏 Which out of contract players we'd keep/release 🗣️ Marti's suggestion this has been his toughest ever season Available on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your pods!

Real pleasure chatting with Francisco (certainly more so than chatting about our recent games) and goodness me, if there is a better story behind why someone started supporting QPR I would love to hear it

Excellent read and a good reminder that the costs of leaving an atmospheric old ground can't always be measured on the balance sheet...

Brilliant book in general but what a passage - and of course the punchline is Larwood eventually settled happily in Australia where he ultimately felt more welcome than in Britain

As a paid up member of the goalkeepers union I am biased but...what a bloke. Gets QPR. Right amount of crazy. C'est fantastique!

No idea why Sam Matterface on ITV feels the need to go out of his way to make excuses for why Plymouth were shit under Rooney. Was it perhaps, and this is a wild theory, because he is a fucking useless manager?
