    I am as jealous as hell. I have to tell you all a true story. Got great news yesterday, was promoted at work...at last. Normally i am a pretty calm person, and i don't get too upset about too many things, but last night took the biscuit. I have had a gut feeling all along that we will stay up. Can't explain it, can't put it into words, but panic had not overtaken me. Sat down to watch the match on the internet with da wife and then my internet went gaga. I cursed everything and everyone imaginable. The most important match since last week and my internet was playing up. Only saw bits of the match which was driving me demented and when Liverpool scored the second i finally turned it off out of frustration and went to bed. Lying in bed i decided to use the wifi to tune into talksport and over the space of the final 10 mins i nearly hit the roof. When Mackie hit the winner i let such a yell that i woke the two girls. Actually had a small tear in my eye. Then all the text messages from my mates in ireland started pinging congratulating ME on our fine win.
    I have been to LR several times a year for the last 15 years. I flew to HQ last year to watch the Leicester match. It was killing me that i would be away for the one bloody season that they were back in the Prem. My big wish now is that we stay there so i can watch Prem football on my return next Sept. Hang in there you Rrrrssssss, i want prem football. Got it.

    Ciarria, i just knew you would make the difference!! Well done mate. Was driving the lorry home from work last night listening to things unfold on 5 live. Felt like turning the radio off at 2 nil but just couldent, waiting for that miracle to happen, that never happens to us. I actually thought of you over at the match and how disappointed you would be. Then it happened and i had to pull in as i certainly would have crashed!

    Was in the Greene after the match - some lads were giving their mate dog's abuse: "two nil and you left the ground"

    Quite a few left X-block only to hurry back to their seats when Derry scored - had to laugh!

    Got my wife to record MOTD. Spotted myself in the crowd celebrating after Cisse's goal when the cameras turned to the bench. My kids were seriously impressed. Magical night and was lucky to share it with good company.

    I saw you on motd Ciarrai, in the words of CORKeR, ' you was dancing like an eejit.' Great night mate.

    Swordsie, I'd say if you were with us you would have been the ring leader at the bar! Dare I say, in a 'hoop'? <cheers>

    OK 9s, I've compared both the MOTD and the Sky Football First recordings and, it is official, Ciarrai looks the EXACT SAME EEJIT in both! Although, there is a bit more of the Kerry Shuffle in the Sky recording.

    Cheers Corker, what a result, it's killing me i can't get home to a match this year. Hoping for at least a point against Sunderland. Will have to try and arrange a gang trip to HQ next season.

    WHAT A NIGHT CORKeR! One of the best days of my life, I need to blog about it, will get to it soonish.

    My wife even had to ask if it did beat the birth of my children, not sure if she bought my answer ;)

    What about e-mailing Amit your suggestion, if he believes in luck he might sponsor trips for us for the rest of the season :)

    999, sounds like you enjoyed it just like Judo and I. I was stood on my seat and Judo was on top of the concrete wall when we got the winner. I've seen some comebacks over the years but nothing quite like that. What a memory we have to keep.

    Lets hope for 3 points saturday now.

    I'm thrilled for you all, it sounds like you had the perfect night out. To come that distance and see such a great comeback is sensational.

    Norway (and Oslo), what I&#8217;d really like to know from you is how your friends and colleagues in Norway regard you and your irrational infatuation with QPR. I know nothing of your history, but would assume you are originally from somewhere around W12. Regardless of that, Q.P.R. must really impinge on your everyday life, your mates out there must look upon you with some degree of curiosity. This, to me, is fascinating. I get enough stick from the Crystal Palace supporters in my area and the glory hunters, this must be so much greater for you guys. Kiwis, Aussies, Peruvians etc, please join in....

    Rolly, I too expected Norway to be from Bloemfontein Rd.......but the lad is actually Norwegian with better English than your average Corkman......

    I'm sure he'll fill you in.
