We gave them hell when they came anywhere near the Loftus Road end. Would love the atmosphere to come back to Loftus Road, its a shell of the place it used to be.

I loved the result but can’t say I enjoyed the game too much as they were dominating even with 9 men! I have to agree about the atmosphere though, I don’t think we’ve experienced anything like it since the Wigan play-off game

I am a QPR fan for life, sometimes happily!

24 October

On this day 8 years ago on 24 October 2009 the R's came back from 2-0 down away at Derby to win 4-2 live on the BBC on a Saturday night!

The fabulous football for the 2nd goal is well worth watching again below. Jim Magilton had the side playing wonderful attacking football - this was the 3rd consecutive match we had scored 4 goals - but it all fell apart over the following month and he was sacked in mid-December!

Yeah he got suspended then sacked. After the win above we were into the top 6 and flying but then won only 1 of the next 7, lost 5-1 to Boro at home, 3-1 away to Watford and so Magilton was out the door!

Adel's skill was showcased as well.

And again under Warnock he was brilliant. We really made an error not signing him permanent back in 2011.

25 October

23 years ago today on 25 October 1994 QPR faced Manchester City in the League Cup 3rd round in a remarkable game at Loftus Road.

It was Danny Dichio's debut and a match that had everything. Kevin Gallen scored after 13 seconds, we had clearances off the line, shots the commentator thought were in but they were wide, shots off the underside of the bar... and still lost. Another one that falls into the category of 'how did we lose that game'!

On 26 October 1991 QPR beat Everton 3-1 at Loftus Road thanks to goals from Dennis Bailey and a Simon Barker brace.

It had been a poor start to the season for the hoops and this was our first home win.

We would however go on to finish 11th in the last season of the old Division 1 before the Premier League kicked in the following season.

You can watch the goals below:

Barkers 1st Goal:

27 October

3 years ago on 27 October 2014 Charlie Austin hit a brace as we beat Aston Villa 2-0 at Loftus Road.

It moved us off the bottom at the time and the autumn of that season up until Christmas was a decent period for a competitive R's team.

However as we all no doubt recall we fell away again after Christmas, Harry's knees went, Ramsey was not the 'dream manager' we thought we were getting and we were of course relegated.

You can see some highlights below:

Vargas' cross for the second goal was also something we need to see more of!!

2 Years ago today the R's lost 1-0 away at Brentford but it was a match infamous for this image of Clint Hill, kissing the QPR badge in front of an irate Bees fan. Great stuff from a true R's stalwart.

Also Happy 46th Birthday to former R's keeper Lee Harper, born on this day in 1971.

31 October

On Halloween in 1994 QPR defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Loftus Road under the lights on Monday Night Football Live on SKY.

Goals from Trevor Sinclair and Les Ferdinand secured the 3 points for the R's.

Can you believe it is nearly a quarter of a century since the likes of Ferdinand, Sinclair and Bardsley et al were in their pomp for QPR?

Highlights of the game here:
