Yes mate, about 4,000 happy Rangers fans here. Have a great holiday

Are you visiting your old pub haunt? No need to run home today.

Perhaps this should be the new match day format, where we get to chew it all over for a week beforehand?

Are the Ruperts' fans generally more benign to hostilities with the opposition?
 
I'll try Col. Going to Cuba and Mexico. Hurricane Matthew is hurtling towards Eastern Cuba and is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. I am staying in Havana which is to the West of the island so with a bit of luck, I will miss the worst of it. It is the first category 5 hurricane in 9 years to hit the Caribbean.
Cuba, great place, great people. Stay safe

Have a great holiday mate. Hope the hurricane misses you and the island! Mexico is, or was, a great place.

Feck me sideways! Do we really won at the Craven Cottage????? I must check if the sun still goes down to the west!
 
Many Fulham fans on Twitter are gutted and bad losers. However these were quite nice tweets

"Walking thru Bishops Park with Putney end behind you with QPR singing pride of west London is the worst thing to experience as a Fulham fan".

Adel wouldn't have had to leave early today:-

Bus-ted! Taarabt pictured with QPR fans after storming off during 6-0 defeat to Fulham
Adel Taarabt had to ask fans for score updates after storming out of Craven Cottage.

The Queens Park Rangers midfielder headed towards the Crabtree pub before meeting fans at a bus stop as he and his minders headed towards Fulham Palace Road.

Incredibly, QPR fan Kerry Smith, 25, was snapped with Taarabt as his team-mates were being humiliated and saw him roll his eyes when told about Clint Dempsey's fifth goal.

Miss Smith, a PA and QPR fan for 15 years, was at the match but left after Andrew Johnson made it 4-0.


She said: 'We asked Taarabt what the hell he was doing there. He just shrugged. He asked what the score was. It was 4-0 by that point, but we heard another goal go in and he just rolled his eyes and kind of smiled in disbelief.

'There were a couple of guys with him, keeping people at bay. We asked them if we could have the photo. Once we took it, his minders said he was going. More QPR fans were coming and it was getting a little crowded.


'I was so annoyed with the game I didn't think too much about seeing him. But when I look at it now it was just a little surreal.'

Queens Park Rangers had not win since a 1-0 win at Wigan on 27 August

Fulham's Sone Aluko hit the post with a last-gasp penalty as QPR held on to win an enthralling west London derby.

Tom Cairney earlier saw another spot-kick saved by QPR keeper Alex Smithies, before Conor Washington's deflected shot put the visitors ahead.

Tim Ream deservedly drilled level straight after half-time for Fulham, who saw Aluko miss several chances.

Idrissa Sylla's header restored QPR's lead late on before Aluko's miss after a foul on Jozabed Sanchez Ruiz.

The Spanish midfielder also hit the bar with a free-kick for the hosts in stoppage time, as Fulham undeservedly saw their winless run extended to seven matches in all competitions.

Chris Martin had stumbled in front of an open QPR goal before the break and Neeskens Kebano also missed a clear headed chance in the second half.

Victory for QPR, whose boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is the subject of an internal club investigation after being named in a Daily Telegraph investigation into corruption in football, but denies any wrongdoing, was their first in six Championship games.

Their opening goal came against the run of play, after Smithies had kept them level with a superb save from Fulham's first penalty, awarded after Steven Caulker held Ragnar Sigurdsson in the box.

But their winner came after their best spell of pressure, Sylla heading in from Tjaronn Chery's fine cross.

Its a category 4 at the moment but will downsize to a 2 by the time it hits Cuba, still, not a good storm. Your plane will have trouble getting there.
 
****ing hell. I thought it was perfectly clear when I and my business partner met Jimmy at the Willesden Chicken Shack and Kebab Palace and agreed a fee of £5.50 to speak at the West Ruislip British Bake Off Appreciation Society's October meeting on the subject of 'Dutch Waffles', that this outrageous level of payment was to include a run of 28 1-1 draws. He's just so naive.

Well done lads.
Post of the year, Stan
