- Past QPR vs WBA Encounters For QPR fans (and probably for WBA fans): Two obvious encounters in particular stand out: The 1967 League Cup Final and the 1982 FA Cup Semi-Final . QPR of course, winning both. Earlier this season, QPR were crushed 5-1 by WBA . That game on the last day of September left QPR at the bottom of the table and the only team in the four divisions yet to have a won a game: QPR had 3 points from 7 games. Next came Sheffield Wednesday with 6 points from 8 games. QPR's team vs WBA: Queen's Park Rangers (4-4-2): Camp; Rehman (Curtis, h-t), Cullip, Stewart, Barker (Bignot, 60); Ainsworth, Rowlands, Bolder, Moore; Blackstock, Sahar (Ephraim, 60).

- Chelseae Official Site PRE-MATCH BRIEFING: CHELSEA V QUEEN'S PARK RANGERS It's time to set out on the road to Wembley we travelled all the way last season. Club historian Rick Glanvill and statistician Paul Dutton welcome back a much-missed local derby. Rick reviews Chelsea and QPR, past, present and future. Although to visiting supporters this derby is the big one, its vintage is relative new and short-lived. Chelsea had played west London rivals Brentford and Fulham for decades before meeting Queen's Park Rangers for the first time 40 years ago, and we haven't met hoops in almost 12. Since then at Stamford Bridge the feeling among fans has slipped from 'QP-ha!' to 'QP-who?' That changes this weekend.  read more »

- SUNDAY TELEGRAPH/Clive White - QPR unsettle neighbours Chelsea So in the end all that separated the haves and the have-soons was an own goal. Rangers' new billionaire owners could be excused for thinking that success in this football business could come wonderfully cheaply, if the laboured efforts of their supposedly upper class West London neighbours was anything to go by here. Make no mistake, the FA Cup holders were hanging on at the finish against the lowly Championship side. They even had to bring on three of their biggest players, Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack and Joe Cole, to ensure that they were not subjected to the dubious pleasure of a replay at Loftus Road.  read more »

QPR OFFICIAL SITE
QPR left Stamford Bridge with their heads held high, despite bowing out of the FA Cup to holders and near-neighbours Chelsea.
A fluke goal in the 29th minute proved to be the difference between the West London rivals, on an afternoon when the R's impressive performance promised much for a very bright future.
Lee Camp was the unlucky culprit, as Claudio Pizarro's right foot shot bounced back off the post and hit the unfortunate keeper, before trickling over the line.
Despite the final scoreline, Rangers were by no means overawed by their hosts, with Martin Rowlands and Gavin Mahon at the heart of their efficient display.
Luigi De Canio handed new signings Mahon, Matthew Connolly and Fitz Hall their full QPR debuts at Stamford Bridge.  read more »

Before I get to the main subject of todays blog, theres another topic that caught my attention today. I picked up my newspaper this morning and felt that I may have been caught in a time warp. There was a story in it which said that the city council had approved Liverpools plans for a 60,000 seat stadium on Stanley Park. This is of course great news, or at least it was when we first heard it two bloody years ago! Now correct me if Im wrong, but the plans for a 60,000 seater stadium were already in place before our souls were sold to these two American idiots. You might remember that this was the original stadium design that they promised they would commence building within 60 days of taking over the club.  read more »
