PREVIEWING READING VS QPR

Iain Dowie's QPR, with one away win in the League this season (and with one win, one draw and four defeats in their last six games) take on Steve Coppell's Reading (six home wins out of six) on Saturday, in a live-TV broadcast game. Current League Table. Hopefully the supposed board-room dispute and various Dowie "death watches" don't impact adversely on QPR.

QPR Report Message Board

After several years of blogging from the United States the QPR Report blog, this week, a sister QPR Report Message Board was "launched." For those interested, the board can be viewed at QPR Report Mesageboard. Hopefully the numerous North and South American QPR supporters will also join in.

The sole focus of the QPR Report Message Board is QPR matters, on and off the field; present and past; as well as possibly a limited focus on broader Football ("soccer!") concerns. Nothing else.

QPR Report Message Board is open to all QPR supporters. Its operating premise is that supporting QPR is what we all have in common and is the reason for why people are on the board. There is no "official" message board perspective regarding QPR matters. Critics, skeptics, defenders, and boosters; and everyone in between, are all very welcome to participate. It is anticipated - or at least hoped - that this will be a forum bereft of ad-hominem attacks and slurs; where other peoples' perspectives will be tolerated, if not always agreed with; and where people actually live out the well-worn cliche: "To disagree without being disagreeable."
