Ade McBrearty - a legacy for his three children

My daughter took a poster she made for a school project about QPR to be signed by the players. Albert put his arm around her and told her it was brilliant - 6 months later at a kids fan day - he saw her and said ‘did you get an A for your poster? A truly great man

My 7-y-o went to a football camp for the first time today. Kids asked: ‘how many Chelsea and Man United fans do we have?’ All Hands rise but one. ‘do you not have a team Mia?” She’s asked. “yes, a real one,” and reveals her QPR shirt. God love her - the brainwashing worked!

QPR have trousered over £320k and rising for Seny and Chair to warm the benches for Senegal and Morocco respectively with FIFA paying clubs £8.5k per day to take their players mid-season.

The only person I have dealt with in football who is unfailingly punctual! Also as polite, approachable and as thoroughly decent as they come in a largely dirty business. Made QPR fun to watch again and deserves a great send off tomorrow.

Arguably the hardest, most testing season of my QPR-supporting life - what a way to finish it. Absolutely magnificent display.

Delighted for Ilias Chair going to the WC. Given his journey from a trialist over from Belgium who was a 50-50 decision to be signed as a teen by QPR, to playing every game this season without hiding or fearing injury knowing what was ahead of him. Deserves huge credit.

For every Ben Barba in the NRL there are at least 10 Scott Dureau’s. A very good man who is doing it tough. Terrible to hear of his new cancer battle - fingers crossed for him.

Very unlikely Albert Adomah will be at Rangers next season, but despite the justified scepticism when he signed, he's more than done a job both on and off the field in the last three years. Fitting he scored the crucial goal today.

Absolutely huge win for Rangers. Best performance in a QPR shirt from Yoann Barbet he and Jimmy Dunne both giants at the back - not bad for a couple of free transfers.

Not worked out for him this year but that West Brom last-minute goal moment was vintage Austin. Some of the comments about him on here this season that ended up in my mentions have frankly been disgusting and undeserving of someone who has been a true, modern-day QPR great.
Sadly my time is up at

💙 A huge thank you to the fans for your support on and off the pitch,to the gaffer for bringing me back(even though we didn’t achieve what we all wanted), to the players who have been a pleasure to work with, and lastly to my family💙

Never saw him play - but my old man - who only rates about 4 players in the history of football says he was one of the best English players he ever saw kick a ball. Good enough for me. Sleep well Stan.

As ballsy a win as I have seen from a QPR team that one. Warnock got a pen, a sending off and 10 mins of injury time in his favour - be interesting to see who he blames for that one.

Ditto yesterday’s Chair Tweet for Seny Dieng. QPR’s transfer policy over the years at times has rightly been criticised - but the odds on two free-agent trialists going to a WC 6 years after first walking through the door would have been a four-digit price. Credit where it is due

Brilliant night in W12 - superb tribute for Stan, best atmosphere at a game I’ve heard for a long time - chaotic match, abysmal ref, woeful penalty, a West Brom worldie and grown men flicking elastic bands at Albion players - how can you not love it! And in the words of three

Palace will be fighting to keep Eze this time next year - Grealish, Maddison are both fine talents - this kid is better. 20 per cent sell-on is the most under-rated but crucial part of this deal for QPR.

Five of Mick Beale's self-trumpeted summer signings unavailable yet again today. Chuck in Willock, Dykes, Armstrong, Amos - they just don't have the squad to cope with so many players out. Kudos to Chair, rarely injured - deserves better than some of what he had around him today

All in favour of managers being given time - knee jerkism is one of football’s biggest foibles and I disagree with most sackings. But this can’t continue. I’ve never seen a QPR manager this bad - and don’t come at me with Paul Hart’s brief reign - he at least had the good grace

When you start the season with Dieng, Dickie, Willock, Moses and a fully-fit Johansen and finish it with Dozzell, Sanderson, and Thomas all starting in a must-win game - it tells you all you need to know about QPR’s dreadful 2nd half to the season.
