Reply | QPR full of festive cheer, but is Boro after the Lord Mayor’s show? Preview
at 13:05 13 Dec 2025
Great preview as always, thanks.
I said before on a previous thread that one of the things that I liked about JS was was what he said about player making mistakes. I didn’t interpret that as we’re going to conceded goals. For me it was about how he will encourage players to play and build confidence. I like it and I think it’s working, you only have to look at Marty Madsen vs Julien Madsen. I know this is one of those unquantifiable things, but I feel Julien has a much better vibe than Marty. Granted, the squad is a different, but there’s a much better feeling this season than last. Interesting that you found him to be charismatic, I did not get that impression at all. I can’t put my finger on it, but I never had a good feeling about him.
Tuesday was amazing and intense. I don’t know how much that took out of the team, but I hope it’s given them the confidence and belief in their ability to win a game. Let’s not forget, a much worse QPR team beat a very good Burnley team away, it does happen, even for us! |

My issue is Palace fans trying to portray the club as being 'multicultural and community based', NOT with multiculturalism/community work etc. Evidently I didn't communicate that distinction in my post. |

Palace were a total non entity in South East London until about a decade ago. Once they got into the Premier League all the new middle class folk started taking their kids there instead of Millwall and Charlton (a bit too South East London for their taste.) This coincided with HF ultras and now Palace are trying to rebrand themselves as multicultural community club. It’s total BS and obviously papers like the Guardian love it. Arsenal are much better supported club by the type of locals these fans are trying to align themselves with. There’s literally an Arsenal mural in school playground near my house. I see why Millwall hate them and am increasingly feeling more antipathy towards them. [Post edited 12 Dec 10:07]

To add to your point, from the fan Q&A:
"The other reality is that you have different types of athletes. You've got some athletes like, for example, Field or Madsen, who maybe don't look like the quickest over ten meters, but will regularly cover a top number of kilometers a game" |

Reply | Julien Stephan - He is doing quite well !!!!
at 10:52 10 Dec 2025
I like Julien and think he's doing a good job. I think he's been carrying the can for decisions made by the club which has resulted in some fans judging him a lot harder than Marti.
I don't buy this nonsense about understanding the league, he's managed football at a much higher level. IMO it's about understanding the squad. Whatever he's doing it's working, just look at the table and compare how we're playing to last season. Long may it continue! [Post edited 10 Dec 10:59]

Just back and I’m still buzzing! I can’t remember the last time Loftus Road went off like that, it was incredible! Under the lights, absolutely perfect, it’s why I go to QPR. Love it!!!
We deserved that. Was absolutely gutted when they equalised, but we clearly wanted it more.
Agree with all the positive words about Madsen. Two things I noticed - A few times he lost the ball the aggression in his attempts to recover was impressive. I’ve not seen that side to his game before. Also, a brilliant first time back heel to Saito (I think?) in the second half. He also did a few other lovely first time passes. Really enjoying his football and really pleased he’s found the confidence to play.
A classic night at Loftus Road, thank you Rangers! [Post edited 10 Dec 8:56]

Love it! This is what this forum is about, a healthy balance of views - needless misery (me) and blind optimism (you).  |

If there's anything that can sh*t over the 'magic of the cup' image, it's West Ham vs QPR.
One is going through a major identify crisis with a fan base that is a parody of itself, playing in one of the worst stadiums in the country that represents so much of what is wrong with the sport and our nation more broadly. The other, a club that has shown total disdain for the cup and the idea of competing in a competitive sport, also the proud owners of the worst record in the 3rd round.
I can't wait. |

Reply | Where are we going to finish this season?
at 15:54 2 Dec 2025
Our average league position over the past 10 years is 15th. We've finished 18th twice, 20th, 19th and 16th, once.
To make things interesting, I'd like to see us finish 17th, and for a truly unremarkable and crap climax, I'd like us to achieve this well in advance of the end of the season to ensure several dead-rubber games. |

Would this be the same Arsenal (with "talent ID second to none") that rejected him as a youth?
Giles AFC, let me correct that sentence for you - 'QPR's talent ID is second to none'. You're welcome. |

Love this. The area is so important to our identity and the match day experience.
Can you imagine a Reading fan writing something similar about a trip to the Select Car Leasing Stadium. |

It would seem like the kind of thing Nourry would do. NDA aside, I don't think Marti would come out and say anything, not yet anyway.
That said, I don't think there's a major scandal waiting to be revealed. |
