    Bizarre article - the club’s current success on the pitch is primarily down to Robins and the team management, there hasn’t been much evidence of a Doug King effect at all so far. The big problems facing the club remain as yet unsolved.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Which of his observations are correct? “Homelessness is bad and people affected need professional help” is one thing. “Arrest the homeless and move them to government-funded tent cities” is quite another.

    RIP OldSkyBlue58

    A real loss to the community on here - his ability to share expertise without ever being drawn into the usual sniping/name-calling was a real asset and will be missed.

    Course invaders at today's Grand National.

    I’ve long been an advocate for letting horses compete in a quieter, slower environment where they’re not likely to encounter protesters, which is why I’ve been campaigning to let horses play snooker.

    Yeah I’d love to do a draft version of FPL! (No idea how it’d work, mind)

    Premier League thread

    Yeah I’ve been doing it this season for the first time and really enjoyed it. Have played the NFL version for years and loved it too - it’s one of the reasons for the sport being so insanely dominant in the US, so I have to wonder what it’ll do for football over here.

    Vik and or Hamer?

    He’s a gem - I’ve no idea how we signed him the summer after winning League One.

    Premier League thread

    Has FPL always been this big? Anecdotally I see/hear a lot more of this kind of chat, I wonder if the Premier League is going to go the same way as the NFL, where the games often become secondary to their fantasy implications.

    Player Progress

    I remember the post that @shmmeee is referring to now! This was from January and it’s not held up especially well - although in my defence I was talking more about the squad as a whole, and more about player value rather than player ability. But yeah, since then Wilson, Allen and Eccles have...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Still a few points ahead of the blue team, but the gap is closing

    Goals from Midfield

    Problematic joke aside, I’m more of an Ellen/Portia de Rossi kind of guy.

    Player Progress

    Don’t remember saying this! Are you sure it was me? Personally I think it’s obvious that Vik, Wilson, Allen and Eccles have all kicked on this year.

    Goals from Midfield

    Oh I agree. I was just pointing out that at no point this season have we been "severely lacking" in goals from midfield, nor has there been a "massive increase" since January or at any stage this year - it's something we've been doing at a very competitive rate all season.

    Goals from Midfield

    Oh sorry - yeah, I'm not able to work that out unless someone's able to pull up a cached version of the Transfermarkt stats. But aside from our ranking across the division, it seems to me that our goalscoring rates from midfield have been pretty consistent throughout the season.

    Goals from Midfield

    Before thread posted (28 games) - 11 goals from midfield (0.39 goals per game/35% of our total goals) Since thread posted (24 games) - 6 goals from midfield (0.28 goals per game/28% of our total goals)

    Our goalscoring rate from midfield has actually slowed down since this thread was posted...

    QPR player ratings

    Not sure why Eccles has flown under the radar - even now, some people don't seem to think he merits a place in the squad. He's been really important to us this season.

    Goals from Midfield

    Good shout - our midfield finished joint fourth in L1 in 12/13.
