Once saw him score a goal at the Leazes End where I’d swear he dribbled past half of their team in the box. A small beacon of light in quite a lot of gloom.

Do it! I remember that European sojourn. I’d started going to matches in ‘73 - hooked - supported remotely from the Scottish Borders (my Nana sent me Journal clippings in the post which I stuck on my wall). Passed my driving test early in ‘78 and was excited about that season. But wasn’t to be ..

You’re safe I reckon. I have, by association (younger daughter’s boyfriend is a season ticket holder), become an interested follower of QPR who persist in calling themselves the ‘R’s’, which as call can see is a plural not requiring of an apostrophe. Slowly teaching myself to ignore it. Slowly.

I’m here all day for a bit of measured positivity! Spent quite a lot of time recently blocking nay saying doom mongers - got no time or energy for it. Also nice to come across another North of the Border, dog loving, Toon supporting ‘runner’.

That evolution in usage is a plain and clear abomination and afront to common decency and according to a friend (former Editor of national newspaper) a national disgrace but I can probably permit myself to live and live but I will still rage against it every now and then. Just wrong. 😒

If you’re in Edinburgh though - definitely a pint!

That would be fun but I’m a remote fan - I live in West Linton just south of Edinburgh. Extended family from Northumberland - first taken to St James’ in August 1973 - lived it all - the bad - the awful - the Keegan times - and the present. Was at the Fulham match this week- my first in 22 years.

I have become a slightly more than vicarious QPR fan (I’m a lifelong NUFC fan) through my younger daughter’s season ticket holding boyfriend - have been to Loftus Road on three occasions now. But the apostrophe does me in - it’s a plural FFS! #UpTheRs No apostrophe 😊

Loving it. But please - no apostrophe 😊

Laughing we will be - Wissa gets fit and hits his stride - and we remember how to play with goal scoring line leader - sunlit uplands 😊

Agreed. I have been having ‘fun’ blocking and muting the plethora of negative nay saying miseries on here. What is the point - we can acknowledge things aren’t quite where we want them to be while still looking on the positive side - much more fun. Please don’t make me mention Frank Pingel again 😊

A big chicken? We’ve done that recently when not too many of us - still get the same Christmas vibe. There are seven of us this year so have gone turkey.

Three at the very least. It is beyond time that we turned somebody over - why not Chelsea. 😊

I was in the Gallowgate on his derby hat trick day. Good player. We couldn’t deal either him that day!

Sorry but Frank Pingel and Rob MacDonald - my case rests - this team will improve and we will win more stuff - some may leave but others will arrive. I supported them for 51 years before they won anything - I will continue to be unashamedly positive. Any way it’s much more fun being positive #NUFC

There are some seriously miserable bastards on here - just be thankful you didn’t have to live through the Frank Pingel and Rob MacDonald years (Google them) - this is a seriously good team - which will absolutely fly once they get going - and which will be continually improved by incoming and Eddie

Unfortunately the reality is that this was never going to happen. Our squad has improved - hasn’t all clicked into gear for variety of reasons- Isak late departure - Wissa injury - Big Nick thrown in - full backs injuries - but there are definitely reasons to be cheerful - the bigger picture is OK.

You did. It was the first post. However - not quite the outcome we’d hoped for
