Play off final tonight on SKY, hopefully we will be welcoming Ainsworth back to Loftus Road next season. Only posted this as loved Gareth at Rangers, and two stand out times of watching QPR, 85/86 final, after turning over Chelsea and Liverpool got totally destroyed by Oxford, and then I remember watching the worst QPR team i have ever witnessed at Oxford under Stewart Houston in the 1990s getting stuffed at the manor ground
Not all that encouraging that baby Smyth can’t get in the squad. Hope they do it. Nice little club and he’s done incredibly. Oxford is a bit meh on a retail park in the middle of nowhere with the away fans stuck in a corner.
I hope so much that we see Akinfenwa in championship, someone that has to deal with so much **** aimed at him, and still is there on the pitch.
I found the celebrations and interviews moving and emotional because unlike some teams and players it was genuinely heartfelt. Well done Gareth, Akinfenwa and the rest of the club.
It really did, best thing I have witnessed in ages, lifted me from the slumber of having to work from home since March
What hardship was being referred to? Great achievement by GA and the team. What's the betting they'll come to LR and give us a pasting?!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53338603 Wycombe's Adebayo Akinfenwa says he was racially abused during Monday's League One play-off match against Fleetwood. The 38-year-old striker says he found out after the game that he was was referred to as a "fat water buffalo" by a representative from the opposition. "I believe it dehumanises me as a black man by associating me to a water buffalo, a dark animal, in a derogatory manner," Akinfenwa said in a statement. The Football Association has been made aware of the allegation. "Monday night was one of the highlights of my career with Wycombe," added Akinfenwa. "However, what should have been an evening of joy and excitement quickly turned into one of anger and frustration. "Regardless of whether or not there was deliberate racial intent by using that language, if we are to make real and long-standing change then we must strive to educate each other about these issues." Akinfenwa, who suffered racist abuse earlier in his career while playing in Lithuania, believes education is "ultimately the key" to a future without racial discrimination.
So a new championship team we can all not look forward to gifting six points next season... Congratulations to Wycombe and well done Mick please log in to view this image Sorry, I mean our Gareth please log in to view this image
