I'm guessing it wasn't JLows intention to publish that...

He does occasionally post up some really odd stuff. Like a few weeks ok where he said about 6 wrong things in one sentence. Reckon sitting in an office on his own trying to dig up something interesting to write is affecting his mental state

[Old Man Andrews]

Actually QPR away last season may have been one of our better games under Gomes. We passed, we moved and we created opportunities. Too bad we rarely showed that performance again

It was still utter dross though which is the point JLow was making.

It really wasn’t utter dross though. You can even see on the BFTG reports there was a lot of optimism after that game

If you think that game was utter dross, then I hate to imagine what you think Gomes’ worst games in charge were

Entertainment value = utter dross. Nothing to do with the quality of our own performance which was decent on the day.

That makes no sense.

That is because you are thick as mince.

If I'm as thick as mince (which if you measure it in tesco us about 3 inches thick with the packaging) you are as thick as beth ditto sideways.

No doubt it has been done to death - but is there hard proof, confirmed proof we are the original wearers of the hooped shirt?

In David Downs "Biscuits & Royals" book there is a picture of our strip in 1871 and it is hoops, although they are very thin darker hoops,. As the fake hoops were not formed then, it seems like we are the ORIGINAL wearers. I understand that our strip is uncertain after that, but the book does show we we changed to Vertical stripes by 1907. with that and plain shirts in the mid to late fifties, perhaps they may have a claim to have worn hoops for a longer period (if they have always worn hoops, which I think is probable). So perhaps we can both claim victory in one way or another!
Edit:- should have been mid fifties mid sixties and mid eighties.

About to leave...what is the best away pub for pre game beer and atmosphere...always just been in and out before. Belushis?

[Royals and Racers]

3 changes Rino, Richards and Baldock start. Out Obita, Pele and Meite.

[NewCorkSeth]

3 changes Rihno, Richards and Baldock start. Out Obita, Pele and Meite.

I have no problems with that.

I'm liking this.....a lot. These are proper positive changes and not tinkering like the last bloke seemed intent on doing.

[Ranty McRantface]

Harsh on Pele so I can only assume he has a knock. The others were expected.

Pubs in reading suck, can’t find any showing the game, which is why I boycott most pubs in reading. Complete joke.

Seriously? There isnt a pub showing the game? That's poor.

Well I’ve tried poachers in sindlesham, seven red roses in Earley. Both are showing champions league football for the zero fans of those clubs that are currently in reading. Too many out of towns t..to run these pubs.

Friend checked couple others, same result. It’s the big reason I don’t go to my local pubs anymore. Pointless.

Yes the 1872 photo shows we wore blue and white hoops, many years before QPR were even formed. TBF to them I am not aware of them having anything other than hoops where we have had several changes, over the years.

Rino was due to start on Saturday.

You should be at the game, its 50 minutes up the road.

Gomes is talking very well.
