"This derby's pitch-perfect
The game I am most looking forward to is the derby between QPR and West Ham. They haven't met in the Premier League since 1996 when Ray Wilkins and Tony Cottee were playing and there won't be a spare seat at Loftus Road on Monday. QPR's ground is so small and perfect, Subbuteo's pitch must have been based on it. The crowd are right on top of you and that makes everything feel faster. There is less space in your peripheral vision and so you feel hurried. Highbury was like that too and it speeds up the game. It will make for a very good match."

looks like our small ground has effected some of our blind players more than we thought.

I remember the last time we played WHU in the EPL. Was the day we got relegated. Very sad day. We also won 3-0, wouldn't mind a similar scoreline tonight

i remember that day too. little did we know then that it would herald 16 days in the football wilderness. it was towards the end of my final year at uni. one of my mates was a west ham fan, and i remember him gloating about the fact that even though we had beaten his team 3-0, we were down.

here is hoping that tonight will be a very sweet R's result.

When the fixtures came out this was the home game I most looked forward to seeing. Lovely grey day in west London this morning, going to be fantastic under floodlights tonight. Got my change of cloths and meeting a couple of hammers mates at 4pm today. On tube now listenting to Fleetwood Mac. Monday mornings don't get much better..

Actually I have thought since yesterday that we would win 3-0 (Cisse 43, Mackie 50 and Taarabt 79).
