Match Preview;
Buoyed by the summer signings of Sam Field, Jordy De Wijs and Charlie Austin, we go into our first pre-season friendly against a Man United side desperate to taste success again this season, after four years without a trophy (they won the League Cup and Europa league in 2017). On paper, they shouldn't be too worried about their trip to Loftus Road, as they still have some top quality players in their ranks. However, after so long without having fans in the stadium, I suspect Loftus Road will be rocking on Saturday, even though it's just a pre-season friendly.

Who knows what the team will be for either side, as it feels like the Euros have only just finished and so players may be given a bit of extra time to rest. Speaking of the Euros, I won't be able to make it on Saturday, but for those who are going, a suggestion...give Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho a welcome like none other they have ever received at an away ground. As many on here have said, QPR have always been on the right side of the fight against racism, and even though this is only a pre-season friendly, it still gives us a chance to prove ourselves. A rousing cheer for Rashford and Sancho, worthy of one of our own much loved players, would seem a fitting welcome to two players who helped many of us, for the first time, watch England play in a major final.

I'll add team news and manager comments when/if they go on the official, and for those who will be there, enjoy and...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

 

Ray Wilkins

 

Rio Ferdinand

 

park ji sung
He moved to Queens Park Rangers in July 2012 after suffering a reduction in his number of appearances for Manchester United the previous season. However, an injury-interrupted season with QPR, combined with the club's relegation, led to Park rejoining PSV on loan for the 2013–14 season.

 

Well that didn't take you all long...updated. Thanks.

 

Will Keane

 

Ashley Young is such a ******* **** ****. Still angry about that one.

 

Another one who I remember being very average.

 

‘Not so’ Fabio

 

I did have to look mine up Dave....wasn’t he the crappier twin ?

 

Yep...his brother, Rafael, played 109 for United, then 103 for Lyon. Scored a cracker against us if I remember correctly.

Here it is;

 

Don Givens
Gordon Hill
David McCreery

cheers Dave.

 

Yep,
Park was a seasoned player for Man U for quite some time but when he came our way, his legs were completely gone, in fact, l've never seen a player so knacked. If he was a horse, the Vet would've been called to put him down with immediate effect.

Seriously, Mr Ed, who never left his barn stable, would of a better option................... Wilbur !
Of course, don't get me started on Anton & Rio Ferdinand.

They certainly have got rid of some rubbish by transferring them to us, apart from Ray and Don Given, you wouldn't even remember signing the rest of that bunch.

 

Nick Culkin and maybe Tom Heaton?

 

Gary Micklewhite was decent enough in the early to mid 80s...

 

Sort of, but Heaton yet to make an appearance for them, and didn't ever appear for us when on loan.

Thanks.

 

Would never have thought of any of these, excellent obscure knowledge skills sirs….

 

It amazes me every week, after I spend a few minutes thinking about it, and doing a quick google search, and then numerous obscure names come out of the wood work.
