    QPR travel to stadium:mk for a league fixture for the first time on Saturday afternoon.

    Buoyed by last weekend’s impressive 2-0 win over Birmingham City at Loftus Road, Rangers will be keen to complete a season’s double over the Dons, who were beaten 3-0 in W12 in October.

    Saturday’s victory over Blues extended the R’s unbeaten run to three matches in the Sky Bet Championship, and boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will be hopeful of prolonging that sequence against an MK Dons side struggling towards the foot of the Championship.

    Karl Robinson’s side currently sit in 21st place in the second tier, three points and once place outside of the relegation zone.

    The Dons lost a tight encounter at Blackburn Rovers last weekend, going down 3-2 at Ewood Park, with Jordi Gomez’s stoppage-time free-kick winning it for the hosts in a seesaw clash in Lancashire.

    It was a heart-breaking finale for Robinson's charges, whose relegation worries deepened after the side immediately below them in the Championship table, Rotherham, were 2-1 winners over Brentford.

    We'll **** it up as you can guarantee we will any time there are more than 1500 away fans. I'll be on the 11:43 party train from Euston

    I'll be there, more in hope than expectation. Very odd season this.

    Very brave of you 999's trying to predict the starting line up!

    I've decided to allow JFH to select who he wants so that he can make an accessment of them regarding their future at the club. As long as they give 100% that is!

    COME ON MY TEAM

    Who could forget the glorious 1-0 FA cup replay win courtesy of Danny "I'm ****" Gabbidon?

    Well I did until just now.

    Yes, Gabbidon was one of those players that was OK for anyone but us. Mutch is the same. Delaney. Danny Simpson. Fer will no doubt become a goal scoring machine...

    I liked Simpson and Delaney. Didn't help we played Delaney as an attacking full back which was never his position.

    Yep. I never could see the logic of getting rid of Simpson (even if his personal life does suck)

    Just around the stadium now. There's nowhere to eat bar "tax efficient" chain restaurants. Sadly our new stadium will likely be the same, but hopefully with more independent places in reachable distance. I love our Loftus Road and want to stay.

    Honestly speaking, I'm glad he's gone. He could be the best player for that position but I still wouldn't want someone of his character at our club. No more ****ers.

    I'm sympathetic with your point of view on the personal stuff. Harry got rid of him before it all came out. Perhaps it was the right result for the wrong reason
