great to watch again but makes me feel sad as to where we are now. Seems like a lifetime ago.

They are my feelings towards it too. Yes we got to The Premier League but we absolutely blew it again. So technically it was all for nothing and it feels like a long road back. Shame.

01 August

On this day half a decade ago on 01 August 2013 QPR signed Charlie Austin from Burnley for a reported £4 million.

Austin of course went on to score 47 goals for QPR in 89 appearances, including 18 goals in the Premier League for the R's despite playing by himself a lot of the time.

5 years on since his signing it feels like it may be a lot longer than 5 years before we are able to sign a striker of his quality again.

Just as bad has been how little consistent game time Austin has been given in the PL to prove he is the real deal...

16 August

On this day 4 years ago QPR started their most recent season the Premier League with a 1-0 defeat against Hull at Loftus Road.

Charlie Austin missed a penalty late on after James Chester out-muscled Rio Ferdinand to score the only goal of the game.

The kit was shocking, the team was largely terrible and we all know how the season ended...

And the 3-2 home win over Liverpool.
I was never happy about that Man City match. I don't like the fact that we are remembered as the team that let in 2 in injury team when City won the league.

17 August

On this day 22 years ago on 17 August 1996 QPR began life outside the top flight for the first time in 14 years at that time with a 2-1 victory over Oxford United.

Despite going 1-0 down inside 16 minutes, and being largely dominated in the first half, second half goals from Gallen and Dichio saw the R's bag 3 points to start the season in a positive fashion.

20 August

On this day 7 years ago QPR beat Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park

It was the first match under the new ownership of Tony Fernandes.

Tommy Smith scored the only goal of the game to give the R's their first goal and at the same time their first win in top flight win in 15 years.

Faurlin and Buszaky worked the ball to Smith who curled home a lovely finish to send the QPR fans into raptures. Despite Everton having a number of chances the hoops dug in for a famous win.

23 August

On this day 22 years ago on 23 August QPR beat Portsmouth 2-1 at Fratton Park

The match was infamous for Kevin Gallen scoring both goals but getting injured whilst scoring the second and winning goal. He would miss the entire rest of the season.

It could be argued this was a key moment in the demise of the R's over the following 5 years as without Gallen QPR struggled to make a return to the Premier League which would have been more than possible with him available that season. They would eventually finish 9th.
