yep - we'll he's got a point.

I think he did great for us in his first season and a very solid footballing head - sometimes literally.

Can some-one paste it up here please? A well writen piece.

I know I speak on behalf of all of my team-mates when I say thank you for your brilliant support. You've been phenomenal.

I've played in front of some big crowds at both West Ham and Sunderland but the volume generated at Loftus Road is up there with the very best.

I used to come to Rangers as a kid to watch my cousin Les play and I knew what to expect of the place.

The noise created in the latter stages of last season was on another level.

We were up against it with a difficult run-in but, with five wins in our final five home league fixtures, we managed to pull ourselves out of trouble.

I'm in no doubt whatsoever that Loftus Road had a big part to play in that.

By fighting our way to survival, hopefully we've shown that this shirt means everything to each and every one of us.

We know that we haven't done the fans justice at times last season. But this QPR team is very much a work in progress.

I think that you can see the difference in the team since the new gaffer came in - certainly at home.

Now the focus will be on working hard in pre-season to make sure we can kick on next year. But I've no doubt that we can give you a season - and team - to be proud of.

Next year will be the time when people can judge us properly. Make sure you're around to do just that.

New skipper?

[sirduncs]

he's definitely got some passion. i noticed that after the home game vs liverpool.

how old is he again? and how long has he signed with us for? a player who should only grow in stature and get better for us, methinks. plus it's always good to see a qpr shirt with 'ferdinand' on the back!
