That was buttock clenchingly horrible, and I suspect this season will see me into an early grave.

It half killed me but I loved it.

I honestly thought about that too when I went for a fag on 80 minutes.

I bottled it completely on 68 minutes and went to look for something in the shed, fed the little one, and walked around a bit, to log back in with 90 seconds to go. I did the same when Wessam scored too. I might just turn off from the start and find out the result later next week!

We're only six points off 10th!

I know the result was all that mattered but our defence is enough to give you a stomach ulcer. Reading had five reasonable chances in that second half but were not up to it. I thought Bannan played very well and the team was not improved by replacing him with NZog.

Sylla had a very decent game as well. The fight to stay up is well and truly on.

We had to win this and we did. I am a bag of jingling nerves. Tried following a stream but was too nervous. Don't like listening to radio so followed the match thread. Early second half went for a walk in the garden...tried to do a bit of clearing up but had to get back in and followed it on match thread. I did not post because my fingers had no strength to tap keyboard. What a relief.

We are men after the same heart, I find gardening helps to pass the time when we are ahead!

2 hours at the allotment - is getting back to nature the answer to our woes? ;-)

It is starting to look like win next week and we could do it comfortably before the last game. Lose and we are in massive trouble as QPR will be the form side and favourite to get out.

  Surprise, surprise.......Sylla played well.

  Bakers not a LB, Lowton is struggling, Bannan had a good game, i wish Westwood was about 3/4 inches bigger and about a stone heavier because for all his good attributes he is a bit lightweight when we are under pressure.

 Clark had a good game, and the front 3 , with a bit more composure, could get 2/3 every week.

 Big game next week, if we win i think we will stop up.

That was hard work. I am absolutely fucked.

I like the look of Sylla. Got his foot in and very tidy on the ball. If only we could have a game where all 11 show up. Next week would be nice.

Our first double of the season.

Last time QPR won back-to-back Premiership/league games was December 1995 when I believe those gobshites Robson & Jerome were at number one with "I Believe". Hopefully only we will after next weekend.

In 2013 Benteke has 8 in 11 games.

Get in!!!

Look forward to the miserablists on the WM phone ins this week trying to find an excuse why we won rather than crediting the team.

Bring on QPR!!!
