Things I know about Queens Park Rangers Football Club…
- They are known as QPR, for short
- I once watched Leeds beat them 6-1
- Eddie – from the TV series, Bottom – is a fan
- They are one of the dullest clubs in English football – hence why I know so little about them
The most significant thing about the forementioned 6-1 victory, was that Brian Deane scored 4 of the 6 goals. Everyone knew that this was special, because Brian was one of the club’s oldest players.
To make me feel old – I remember, at the time, thinking that he was ancient. This was almost 15 years ago, in 2004. Back then, Brian Deane was 36. He is in his fifties now. Next month, I will be 37.
Back to the present day…
QPR haven’t been doing very well lately. Here are their most recent league results.
- SHEFFIELD UNITED – LOST 1-0
- PRESTON – LOST 4-1
- WIGAN – LOST 2-1
- BIRMINGHAM – LOST 4-3
- BRISTOL CITY – LOST 2-1
- WEST BROM – LOST 3-2
- MIDDLESBROUGH – LOST 2-0
Last night, they played Leeds. Given the fact that Leeds are doing surprisingly well this season, surely the match was a foregone conclusion? Leeds would win and Eddie Hitler, along with all the other QPR fans, would have to endure their 8th defeat in a row.
Being a Leeds fan, I know that the only “foregone conclusion” involving my team, is that if they’re onto a good thing, they’ll find a way to mess it up!
With Leeds pushing for promotion, back to the land of milk and honey – AKA The Premier League, the land of one hundred and sixty million pounds – I have said all along that they’ll blow it (go on, look at my past blogs). They haven’t quite messed it up (yet), but are giving it a damn good go.
As you can guess, QPR beat Leeds, so can now add the following to their results list…
- LEEDS UNITED – WON 1-0
Pity for QPR, that their next 5 results will be…
- BRENTFORD – LOST 7-4
- STOKE- LOST 9-0
- ROTHERHAM – LOST 15-2
- HULL – LOST 82-16
- BOLTON – LOST 97-0
At least with Leeds almost certainly set to flush any chance of promotion down the toilet, they’ll get chance to exact their revenge on ‘The Rs’.
See you next season, QPR.
