Picking the soap up off the floor in Prison???

He won't want to come back, even if we go up...too many French chums at Newcastle...and they would pay well for him I think.

I'd be surprised if he stayed there. I'd assume a CL club if he carries on producing the goals the way he is.

3-0. Get in. Plus Leicester lose to Sheffield Wednesday and Burnley can only draw. Great set of results.

Had to give up my ticket as I had to be in Scotland on business, but still very happy this morning.

What!! Get your priorities right - call yourself a fan!

Still not convinced we are getting out of 2nd gear - seems quite a few have more to give, particularly Hoilett and Carroll.

Great 10 mins for Matt Phillips - hope his season now starts to fly!

Only a couple of days and Blackburn arrive to be put to the sword (here's hoping!)

Getting annoyed now as several R's tell me I missed an absolute blinder of a game (and quite a few pints after).

Hope so. Plus AJ of course - when he's fully fit he's always a menace. Great player.

Agree - thought he was excellent against Derby and extremely unlucky to to score.

4 4 2 for us again, hopefully :-)

Just got my Leicester tickets - not a fan of the early kickoff but this is probably the last game I'll be able to make this year.

Which ever way the two teams end up after tomorrow's games it should be an interesting contest...

Great news chaps - http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/121213-new-stadi...

40,000 seems too much at first thought, but with 24,000 homes being built around the stadium I can see it being filled over time.

Its close to Loftus Road and isn't a generic bowl design (I'm looking at you Derby, Reading, Hull, Southampton....)

Suits me Dr M.

It's a lot closer for me - I'll actually walk there.

Although it's a bit pub-lite en route. Maybe one of those Portuguese gaffs on the Harrow Road....

At least it's heading back in the direction of it's spiritual home and birth place - Queens Park/West Kilburn.

Further news is that the stadium is apparently to be ready for the start of the 2018/19 season - so 4.5 years of my Upper Loft view to enjoy!

Yup. I've just worked out my new route. Saunter down Chamberlayne Rd. Stop off at the Chamberlayne for a pre-match sherbert. Cross the road and take the train one stop top Willesden Junction. Saunter down to the ground. Watch match then do it all in reverse. Happy days :-)

Well, I have just about had enough of Redknapp and his boring old cronies.

Yes we're 3rd, but we look poor, Benayoun, Henry, O'Neill, Krancjar, all looking rather ropey, young, keen and fresh blood required, especially up front.

Hopefully he'll look at home rather than abroad and go for a new striker, hopefully Rhodes or Wells, (or both!) and some young blood in defence would be nice too, I don't want to see Carlton Cole, Crouch or Defoe arrive thanks Harry.

Carlton Cole would be a shocking signing if Harry picked him up. Already got overpaid strikers in Zamora and Johnson, why would he want another one who cannot hit the target. Rhodes would be a great buy if you could get him.

The papers for a few weeks have been talking about the potential for your goalkeeper to leave in Jan. Do you think this is possible/likely? (I´m a Saints fan, so one of the clubs he has been linked with)

I am actually getting to the stage now where I would like Allardyce to get sacked and Harry take over West Ham, I don't think that'll happen but would be nice.

I would like to see him go for Rhodes, Ince and Wells and build a team for the future, as opposed to all the crap he's had years ago at Spurs and Portsmouth, if we don't, then I cannot see us going up and wouldn't want us to either.

I think Harry is very keen to offload Cesar, another one of Hughes' great signings on a million a week, although I think he's a decent shot stopper, he doesn't seem to command the box that well and is quite weak with corners, so you're welcome to him!

I think a lot of fans see something great in Ince, and hopefully he can go on to good things wherever he goes. I should be convinced by Rhodes ,but for some reason, clubs don't seem willing to take a punt on him as much.

Good points about Cesar. Not sure my team really want him, but good to hear the opinion of a fan whose team he plays for.

I think the key bit is for Harry to build a team to move forward with. Too many times at Pompy and QPR he has looked at the short term fix, and keeps getting loans in. Yes its a way of getting talent but many are players that failed at prem clubs, big wages, and more often dont tend to perform.

The team you have now should walk the Championship.

Probably because he will be ludicrously expensive, he cost Blackburn 8 million when he moved from Huddersfield, they won't let him go for less than that.

Yeah, it's getting a bit dull/worrying.

Seeing how Derby went at Chelsea was an eye opener for me - same for the way Forrest played against West Ham. Loads of piercing runs, loads of movement off the ball. Leicester and Burnley playing the same way.

Our lot look very static in comparison and just can't penetrate that final third. A sort of OAP version of the way Swansea played in our promotion season. Lots of tippy tappy and lateral passes and nothing else. We'd just send Routledge down the wing or get Taarabt to do one of his mazey runs and bang two in. Ironic to see where Swansea are now and what Routledge is doing for them.

Anyway, I don't think just adding one striker will solve it.

At this rate ending up in the playoffs will be a good result.

Very possible. Rangers have frozen Ceasar out and he want regular games. Thing is he's on stupid wages - seems to put most clubs off.
