  1. Mystery why anyone would be interested in Hughes

    Sean Smith

    OK, who had under six months in the 'Mark Hughes finds another job sweepstakes'? Certainly nobody associated with the farce that was his tenure at Queens Park Rangers. Hughes has been contacted by Stoke City to take over the reins of Tony Pulis wh...

  2. Painful season ends with unsurprising whimper

    Sean Smith

    Thank goodness to Mary that's over. The season from hell slips into the past with a whimper against Liverpool, followed by some industrious defending and ending in a damp squib. Liverpool scored early to win 1-0, and looked like building up a cric...

  3. Youngsters not the solution to QPR's woes -- yet

    Sean Smith

    There has been a lot of clamour from frustrated QPR fans to "play the kids" for this, the last game for the club in the Premier League. Harry Redknapp rightly poured cold water on that bad idea -- even though we have a young side currently at U18 ...

  4. Harry's assessment too harsh and not best policy for QPR

    Sean Smith

    "That [QPR] team wouldn't finish in the top half of the Championship next year, that's the facts." So said Harry Redknapp two Saturdays ago in the wake of another home defeat, this time a 1-0 reversal against an Arsenal side that have won eight of...

  5. Pride only thing left for QPR on Newcastle's big day

    Sean Smith

    It is going to be far too much to ask the vast majority of our wonderful players to play for a bit of pride these final two games - it would appear pride has no place after the fall. Already Stephane Mbia - him of the grand gesture, walking ceremo...

  6. Small changes on pitch give hope of new QPR future

    Sean Smith

    Let's start with the most important aspect of Saturday's late afternoon 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal - the team sheet. QPR manager Harry Redknapp has been quite clear that he is not going to field anyone who he feels is not good enough to play fo...

  7. Positive week makes Arsenal game a dress rehearsal for Championsh...

    Sean Smith

    Now that we are relegated, the focus must surely be on the 11 players that Harry Redknapp puts on the pitch against Arsenal -- and those on the bench he gives a game. Despite falling short so many times this season, the vibe coming out of the club...

  8. Barton happy to cast 1st stone at Bosingwa for 'laughing' at rele...

    Sean Smith

    My first reaction to Joey Barton's twitter comments after QPR's 0-0 draw at Reading Sunday, when he was quick to lambast Jose Bosingwa for being seen laughing when walking down the tunnel after relegation was confirmed, is: "Who are you to talk?" ...

  9. QPR stalemate confirms inevitable relegation

    Sean Smith

    In the end, nobody's heart was in it. The 0-0 draw that sent both Reading and QPR down to the Championship was, as the scoreline suggests, bereft of any excitement, short on goalmouth action, and predictably a long way short of Premier League stan...

  10. Another shower as QPR slip closer to abyss

    Sean Smith

    So, once more QPR contrive to convince the world that any relegation from the Premier League is well deserved with a 2-0 defeat at home to a Stoke in such poor form that they have only beaten the bottom two in the last 14 games. - Match report: QP...

  11. Terminal patient waiting to die against Stoke

    Sean Smith

    With the patient diagnosed as terminal, it becomes a case of when rather than if for Queens Park Rangers. The first - and in the interest of extending the season - possible day of death is upon us. Lose against Stoke in front of the Loftus Road...

  12. Spirit of 2003-04 offers QPR's path to redemption

    Sean Smith

    In a fit of maudlin -- exacerbated by Sunderland's 3-0 victory at Newcastle -- I watched the video of QPR's League One promotion season of 2003-04 Sunday night. I am not entirely sure I know what I was looking for -- whether it was the comfort of ...

  13. Massive Everton match another mission impossible

    Sean Smith

    Harry Redknapp believes that the away game against Everton on Saturday is "massive". I think he means the points gap between QPR before -- and probably after the trip to Goodison Park -- is massive. - Redknapp hits 'low' point To win or to g...

  14. From joy to despair as relegation sinks in

    Sean Smith

    And so there it is - the end is nigh. That QPR should be scuppered in their bid to beat the Teflon team from the North in Sunday's 1-1 draw hurts most, as it was a reckless challenge that was probably the final nail in the coffin. Not dissimilar i...

  15. QPR continue to stare up at chasm as Wigan come to town

    Sean Smith

    And so to Wigan. After the soul destroying 3-2 defeat at Fulham on Monday night in front of the Sky cameras, comes a home game that could have been an opportunity to draw to within one point of the perennial great escapers Wigan. But now a win...

  16. Redknapp to blame for horrible half

    Sean Smith

    So, I guess that must be it... Surely that's it by now? A poor, poor first half performance at Craven Cottage against Fulham on Monday night -- perhaps the worst half of football by a QPR side in a real shower of a season -- was enough to ensure t...
