As we go into the international break there's not many comments on our team, so I thought I'd browse the web looking for some QPR snippets that maybe of interest, but probably not deserving of their own thread.

First up an article from three years ago on the QPR 82/83 Championship winning squad and where are they now? Steve Burke is an interesting one, he's now a gaming machine collector for Butlins.

Here's a nice if not too optimistic article on 'Could QPR be the ones to watch' ...

Great photo of Dave Thomas taking a corner circa 1973. I think this was our first game of the season v Southampton. I was sitting on the wall behind the goal in the school end that day not far from where the ref is standing, and I think it ended 1-1.

Interesting that there was an article in The Sun earlier this week about Peter Hucker, apparently when he retired he bought his own milk round franchise before eventually going into coaching. Amazing to think of any modern day footballer who played in an FA Cup Final and replay and in the top division having to deliver milk for a living when they first quit the game...

Has your mate's photo of the photo of the 75/76 team cut out Stan, Gerry, Dave Clement, and Givens, or weren't they in the photo?

No idea - I'm sure it's not intentional if he has....

Found this photo, unfortunately not great quality, but looks like it was taken at the same time.....

Haven't heard much about the training ground or new stadium recently. Anybody know what's happening?

Yes, and that could be Dave Clement sitting in front of them, and next to Dave Thomas.

If you think we have problems with FFP, etc, then this is a totally "different" level of problem which is worth a read!

Shakhtar Donetsk: The Ukrainian serial winners forced to flee from war

A little after 10pm, there's not one set of footsteps to be heard on the pavements of Donetsk.

It's an hour before the nightly military curfew starts but no-one's taking any chances and the city is already slipping into a state of quiet. It won't stir again till 4am tomorrow, once the curfew is lifted.

Donetsk is a city that once bristled with promise. Situated in the east of Ukraine close to Russia's borders, it is now a key location in a bitter conflict that shows little sign of easing.

About 13,000 people have been killed, and the United Nations estimates at least 1.3 million have fled their homes. Many of those who remain in Donetsk appear weakened by years of isolation and its football team - the heart of the city's social life - has fled.

Didn't he used to get the tube to matches back in the day? Can't imagine many modern players doing that now!
