Richard Kone has been directly involved in 6 goals in his last 4 games for QPR (5 goals, 1 assist).

Great to join Paul and Jacob this week. After the last 2 games we’re walking a tightrope between longer-term positivity with shorter-term increased expectation (and the frustration that can come from that)
Anyway give it a listen! #QPR

How the fixture list and the order of games can shape a season (or why Sunderland might not be in as much trouble as it appears).

How incredibly boring and predictable. Scott Parker once again gets one of the best squads in the Championship who he can lead to a tedious promotion before once again finding himself way out of his depth in the Premier League.
🚨 West Ham United strike agreement with Scott Parker to succeed Nuno Espírito Santo. Hoped 46yo in place for Cardiff + Mark Noble could join backroom team. Proven track record of PL promotion, multiple #WHUFC PoTY & understands club culture @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7741703…

Spotted this at JFK in New York.
Is this what a QPR team plane would look like?
Good luck to the team today against Southampton! Let's get the 3 points...please!

I wish I had these facilities when I was coming through.
For any young player that gets the chance to go into this football club take it with both hands.
It gave me an opportunity in life and somewhere to go outside my front door .
I wouldn’t change it for anything because I wouldn’t of had a career otherwise.
I will always be grateful.
Keep them coming through the system @QPR it’s what this family is known for and I’m proud to be one that got the chance to do it 💙🤍

@NFL @NFLOfficiating let’s just go to flag football if everytime a qb gets touched it’s roughing the passer!

Burnley 22nd in the Championship, players not responding to coach Nicky Hayen, whacked 4-1 by Lincoln City, so no great surprise that Hayen sacked after 14 games (one win). But… even by football standards the club's curt 26-word dismissal statement is unnecessarily brutal (and naïve) for four reasons...
First, it’s classless towards a departing member of staff, however underachieving, so what does that say about the owners’ treatment of people? What message does it send to potential successors?
Second, Hayen was the board’s appointment. What does that say about their judgement? Nb: new technical director incoming who should understand football better than chairman Alan Pace.
Third, it highlights the mess, not least in recruitment, that Hayen stepped into. Did he have a chance? Relegated squad, sold best players (last two club POTYs Flemming & Esteve + Anthony), is there enough fight in the team?
Fourth, highlights the club’s financial problems. Burnley used to be well-run.
Board have to make the right appointment, remember Burnley are a football club as well as a business and engage better with increasingly disaffected fans. Burnley fans deserve better than what Pace and ALK Capital are giving them. #twitterclarets

If you want to know why this World Cup is on Premier Sports and not the BBC - start here...
The Premier League isn't just strangling rugby league - it's killing other parts of soccer, too.
Bournemouth, with a stadium holding 11k in a city the size of Warrington, just beat AC Milan 3-0.
That's Bournemouth, who have never won a major trophy but happened to win promotion in the year that the biggest TV deal in history kicked in and thus get £170m before a single fan buys a ticket.
Bournemouth get 80% of their income from a TV deal they barely contribute to, and just 4% from their fans.
For reference, that's half of the *entire* NRL revenue, just from TV, and five times the value of the Brisbane Broncos.
That's AC Milan, the team of Maldini, Baresi, Kaka, van Basten, Rivera, Gullit and Rijkaard.
They get half what Bournemouth get from TV - despite being one of the biggest clubs in the world with an average home attendance of 60k fans.
Bournemouth beating Milan isn't a surprise. They were $2.10 (11/10) favourites before kick-off.
Now remember that there's 19 other Bournemouths in the UK, each competing for attention, and this is what Super League is up against every single week for media spend and oxygen.
The BBC shouldn't be driven by this - Lord Reith wants a word - but commercially, they are. They follow the clicks, and the money, like everyone else.
Rugby league suffers. So does the rest of football. So does cricket, rugby union and anything else you might suggest.

It’s 33 years to the day since this Les Ferdinand goal for QPR at St James’ Park.
But what we’re really here for is the incredible assist from 37-year-old Ray Wilkins.
What a pass. You never lose it.

Today marks 33 years since England’s infamous night in Rotterdam.
Here at the end of ITV’s coverage, host Matt Lorenzo is forced to cut Ray Wilkins off as time runs out.
But when the camera stops rolling, Wilkins doesn’t hold back about Ronald Koeman…
