Match Day Thread QPR vs Ipswich Town

As far as I know Mass isn't available to play as he'll be on his way to an Aussie training camp prior to the start of the Asian Cup, they are due to fly out on Boxing Day...….

 

I’ve just booked my train ticket to Ipswich

 

Alan Brazil? Im sure he played for both clubs?

 

Taking my eldest (6) to his first ever game Boxing Day. So if you see someone with a bored child, trying to explain why Harry Kane isn’t playing, come and say hi.

 

The Official 20/12 had the Reading game as the first game he will miss, so he should be available Boxing Day. He could miss 7 games.

 

Now I know if my auntie had a beard, she would be even uglier than she already is but if Norwich beat Forest and Birmingham draw with stoke both very possible and of course we win, we could be 7th and I’ll get my auntie a shaving set

 

Cheers Dave
Bonne Fete

 

re Alan Brazil's hair.....is playing for QPR really that stressful you had to pull your hair out??

 

It made him turn to the drink.......

 

I do. Ipswich bought him in 67/68 to help with their promotion drive. Think we tried to get him but missed out. So we got Frank Clarke in ( brothers were Allan who was the first £150,000 player - that’s transfer fee not weekly wage! and Wayne). Both teams went up. My dad rated O’Rourke at Ipswich and was well pleased when he came to us a couple of years later. Truth was that he was a big disappointment and seemed to have fell out love with the game when he was with us.

 

Certainly something with a difference, Lids on top...

 

Major disruption on south eastern trains Boxing Day, going to have trouble getting there from West Wickham & also Clapham & Victoria closed, F in w*****s

 

Er thanks 999’s but no thanks

 

No trains from West Wickham or east Croydon into London, don’t fancy buses, might drive to nearest underground which is probably Balham or tooting

 

Jeff, you might struggle to park in Tooting or Balham. Morden might be better. I live in Morden and it takes around 45 mins to get to West Wycombe.

 

The match is appently on Sky red button.

Wife says "Bet you can't wait to play us today."

My response of "we don't normally do well against teams that are below us in the league" is about as tactful as I could put the fact that we normally bomb against the bottom side.

Truth is that they are playing a bit better since Lambert took over and we seem better against teams that we can counter attack.

I have thought that we are trying to play the full Maclaren way against teams that are expected to beat us and are getting there but still have a way to go (I think the better defense and worse possession against big teams bear this out).

Safe travelling to all Rs that are making the journey.
