19 September

On this day 20 years ago QPR beat Stockport County 2-0 at Loftus Road, picking up their first win of the 98/99 season.

A Kevin Gallen double secured 3 points for the R's at the 8th attempt that season. It was also our first win since the 5th March the season before - over 6 months without a win home or away!

QPR would only win 2 of their opening 15 games that season and would eventually only avoid relegation on goal difference.

Stockport have since dropped 4 levels over 2 decades and currently play in the National League North.

21 September

On this day 5 years ago QPR defeated Yeovil 1-0 at Huish Park in the first ever league meeting between the sides.

Charlie Austin's penalty (which you can view below) was enough to separate the sides although Yeovil had the better of the game and more of the chances despite the vast difference in cost of the sides of display.

Rob Green was man of the match keeping his 6th clean sheet in a row (he would make it to 8 before conceding)

The R's remained unbeaten and went 3 points clear at the top of the table.

Charlie still did the business.

28 September

QPR have a habit of drawing 0-0 on 28 September....

In 1982 we drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace
In 1996 we drew 0-0 with Birmingham City
In 2010 we drew 0-0 with Millwall

Each of those matches were exactly 14 years apart

So if we play on 28 September 2024 you know what to predict don't you

02 October

On this day 7 years ago on 02 October 2011 QPR lost 6-0 away at local rivals Fulham in the Premier League. It was the first meeting of the sides for a decade at the time.

Andy Johnson scored a hat-trick for Fulham and Bobby Zamora also scored. They would of course both join QPR over the 12 months that followed.

In typical QPR fashion we let Fulham have their first win of the season with a shocking performance, conceding in the second minute and never looking like getting back in the game

The match is infamous for the 'Adel Taarabt leaving early to head home on a bus' story

Let's hope we can avoid a repeat away performance tonight!

03 October

On this day 26 years ago on 03 October 1992 QPR defeated Tottenham 4-1 at Loftus Road

Despite going a goal behind and trailing at the break the R's put in a memorable second half performance.

Ian Holloway volleyed home the equaliser before a collectors item diving header from Ray Wilkins put the hoops ahead!

Andy Sinton set up Gary Penrice for the third and Penrice lashed home an emphatic forth for rampant Rangers!

Oh to have such heady days again...

05 October

On this day 24 years ago on 05 October 1994 QPR defeated Carlisle 2-0 in the second leg of the League Cup Second Round, going through 3-0 on aggregate.

Unlike the modern day there was no need for resting players (even in a second leg after winning the first leg!) and a strong R's side won thanks to a close range Bradley Allen strike and Clive Wilson penalty.

Ferdinand, Wilson, Sinclair, Holloway, McDonald, Impey and co were in action.

Look out for a rascal of an away kit for Carlisle in the highlights below along with one of the worst missed free headers you are ever likely to see!

11 October

Classic highlights today as we look back 43 years to 11 October 1975 when on this day QPR destroyed Everton 5-0 in front of 23,022 fans at Loftus Road

Everton weren't a bad side - they finished 11th that season - but the R's were different class and would of course go within touching distance of the title.

Look at the quality of some of the goals... Givens got the 1st, Masson hit a superb long range effort for the 2nd, Francis is almost able to walk it in to the net for the 3rd, Thomas added a 4th before sensational football leads to Francis securing the 5th and his 2nd of the day.

Glory. Days.

I was at that game. only missed 2 home matches that season. and to be fair that was a good but not an exceptional display from that side.

The down side for supporters of my age is that we have had our Concord moment and it is unlikely that I will see a QPR team as good as that again.

You younger supporters are lucky that you can look forward to better and better QPR team. and not always look back like us old farts

I don't think even younger fans will see a QPR side like that again.

Beating Everton 5-0 when it isn't an exceptional display says everything about how good that side was!
