The club shop have got 500 limited edition t-shirts of our new star Emmanuel Ledesma on sale from tomorrow. Never one to miss an opportunity to make some money from the fans as we have seen this summer since the season ticket rises and silly postage charges, the club has moved to release a t-shirt at the end of a week when one player has scored four goals in two games. Ok, these are bound to be

This is the first of an occasional foray into the times QPR have made an appearance in the media in ways other than the obvious like a match report or our chairman being held at gunpoint. We mean Loftus Road being used as a location like in this post and other mentions or uses of the club. The first is a music video by UK Hip-Hop legend Blak Twang. Although an Arsenal fan the location of his

Thoughts from Saturday1. The foreign antics may become increasingly frustrating, but we’ll put up with them for the skill on display from Ledesma.2. Each week he’s gona inevitably get a mention on this list!3. We’ve yet to see Lee Cook get into his stride but unlike his last spell with us, he isn’t the only go to guy now that we can turn to.4. Something Dowie will be keeping an eye on I’m sure,

QPR v Sheffeild United PreviewOn Tuesday night saw a shock result in the League Cup where we actually won a game that on paper we should do anyway. But supporting QPR is never predictable and it was a relief to get through to the next round against Carlisle with a win. The fact that the win brought about some of the best creative play seen from an R’s eleven in recent times means this Saturday’s

10 thoughts on our cup upset at Swindon 1. We actually won a cup game. Always a shock.2. Good to see Parejo get a full run out. His set piece delivery was good and we’ll be saying what a coup he is many more times this season.3. Good to see Dexter get a goal early to carry on how he ended last season. No surprises the assist was from Cook but he worked hard and could have added more.4. Ledesma

This may be a new era at the club but to really make sure the club has embraced its new beginning then it must banish one of the haunts of days gone by and win tonight’s League Cup clash against Swindon. The tie has upset written all over it but hopefully with the players we now have at our disposable we can be professional and get a result. Swindon had a good start to the season on Saturday

10 Quick thoughts on Saturday1. Ledesma looks like being a hell of a find, but also a theatrical one if he keeps up his play-acting to win the foul.2. There weren’t too many trademark Lee Cook runs but wasn’t it great to see him back at Loftus Road in the blue & white.3. I don’t care what Dowie says; Fitz Hall was not the designated penalty taker!4. We’ve all done it at other grounds, but

Iain Dowie was making preparations without him yesterday, but Daniel Parejo has received international clearance and as expected will play some part in the season opener tomorrow. What was holding up the clearance is anyone’s guess, before playing in the Emirates Cup last weekend it was the worst kept secret that he would sign for us so surely plans were in place to gain his clearance, or maybe

As has been mentioning elsewhere the ABC loan has finally been paid off by the club, but it hasn’t been announced clearly by what means.The official site states that the loan has been repaid in full and cancels the option the ABC Corporation had over Loftus Road but according a letter to shareholders it states that another loan of ₤10 million had been taken out at a lower interest with Amulya

Last summer we were all pleased at the signing of Daniel Nardiello from Barnsley on a free. With no money to spend and the sale of Lee Cook to Fulham, managing to sign a player capable of adding to Dexter Blackstock’s 14 goals with a similar figure of his own was a real steal. Of course we all know how the story ended but this summer we are looking forward to welcoming a new Daniel grace the

In what has surely been one of the longest transfer sagas in the clubs history, Lee Cook finally returned to the club last Friday when all had seemed to accept that the hardball being played by Fulham had prevented any hope of seeing him in a hooped shirt.Not a day went by this summer without someone on a message board mentioning that he was down the training ground, having a medical or was seen
