    In a crowded room filled with representatives of clubs with immense history and tradition, the shrewd marketing manager of Royal Panda spurned all other offers and made a beeline for little old QPR tucked away in the farthest corner

    Beth, I thought the wild Panda was on the verge on extinction.
    That is a sobering thought!

    This is a rather apt appointment as pandas are impotent, just like our squad.

    Online gambling who'd thunk it? Suppose we've come full circle from drinking to gambling, any other addictions that could sponsor us?

    Yes, good point<ok>

    Where does this leave us with our new shirt sponsorship by Panda?


    The Football Association has ended all of its sponsorships with betting companies, including mutually terminating a long-term Ladbrokes deal.

    The decision follows a three-month review into the governing body's relationship with gambling firms.
    The FA says it will continue to share important information with companies to identify suspect betting patterns.

    Chief executive Martin Glenn thanked Ladbrokes for its "professionalism and understanding" on the change of policy.
    The betting company's chief executive, Jim Mullen, added: "We understand the FA's decision regarding their commercial partnerships on gambling."
    Mullen said Ladbrokes would continue to work with the FA "to ensure the integrity and trust of the sport is maintained".

    The Gambling Commission's executive director Tim Miller said: "This news will not impact on the ability for us, the FA and gambling companies to share information about suspected sports betting integrity issues."
    Football's relationship with gambling has come under recent scrutiny, with midfielder Joey Barton criticising the FA's "dependence on betting companies".
