The football blog for fans of all clubs
I found myself asking a familiar question again this week, “Where do I start?”. There has been a lot of drama since my piece last week. We have played two games, one being the last for Cotterill and the other being the first for Monk. One thing I am looking forward to in the future […]
Right, I am sick of all this blatant propaganda coming for the press this week regarding calls for the Football League to look into Jorge Mendes’ involvement with us. Firstly, it was ratified by the Football League when Fosun initially took over and brought him in as an adviser and secondly, has anyone bothered looking […]
February was a pretty good month for QPR. Two clean-sheet wins against Barnsley and Bolton were partnered by narrow defeats, but solid performances at Wolves and Sheffield United, and a rather anomalous 5-2 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest. But the Forest game marked a milestone for a couple of QPR players – Massimo Luongo […]
Where do I start this week? I have been asking myself this question all week and whenever I learn something new. Things seem bad currently with Blues, but this may be the best it’ll be for a while. I’m going to try and explain what’s happening in the easiest way possible but there’s a lot […]
We’re nearly back to familiar territory and I couldn’t be happier, after all, it’s exactly what Wolves is all about. As a fan base, passion is a word that is banded about a lot when describing us, however, that passion can spill over as opinions go against each other and individuals end up bickering with […]
Sheffield Wednesday boss Jo’s Luhukay spoke to the press today ahead of Saturday’s game against Aston Villa in the EFL Championship. A disappointing midweek defeat at Millwall left Luhukay feeling blue but the Dutchman, who’s with just 1 league win since being appointed in the New Year, reminded everyone of the lengthy injury list currently […]
Being a QPR fan in South Yorkshire I rarely get the chance to go down to Loftus Road, so an away day is much more common. On Tuesday night I made the short journey to Bramall Lane to watch Sheffield United beat QPR 2-1. It was the first fixture I’d attended this season, and after […]
It’s been one of the worst weeks in a while for us bluenoses and I am going to admit, I almost didn’t want to write about us this week, I was that ashamed of being a Blues supporter. After sleeping on the thoughts after that embarrassing display on Tuesday at Brentford, I thought “No, I’m […]
Thirteen points clear of third now after our draw away at Preston. It was a weird sort of game again. We showed glimpses of brilliance at times, Cavaleiro especially. The Preston manager, Alex Neil has done magnificently well in the meantime to piss of the Wolves faithful after saying that Wolves players go down too […]
After just 28 minutes Sunderland had a mountain to climb at the Stadium of Light. 2-0 down and seemingly unable to live with the likes of Ollie Watkins and Florian Jozefzoon as Brentford dominated the first half. Saturday’s game was the fourth in a row that Sunderland found themselves two goals behind before the break, […]
“Cold feet under a warm blanket, steam over an empty mug-rain splatters on dry window pane-open journals of closed memories… tears of laughter and joy of pain… schmaltz of diametric morning.” – Val Uchendu Have you ever visited somewhere where the expectation is remarkably different from that of which you yourself experience? Perhaps attending a […]
Sheffield Wednesday host a Swansea City team who have been rejuvenated by former boss Carlos Carvalhal, in the 5th round of the FA Cup. In the club press conference today was Portuguese defender Frederico Venâncio: “It’s not going to be special because of Carlos… We’ll be there 100% to win.” Carvalhal was appointed Sheffield Wednesday […]
Since becoming the QPR columnist here at By Far The Greatest Team, I have done little more than gripe about my beloved West London club. And this week is no different, as I have found something new to moan about at Loftus Road. This week I focus on Sean Goss, and the myth of team […]
This week hasn’t been the best for us bluenoses. We had Derby day and we will get into to that next. We just came off the knockout blow from Huddersfield in the cup and it started to seem that we were going back to how we were before the new year. I’ll start off with […]
Twelve points clear of them Villa twats in second and thirteen clear of third. Twenty-two clear of seventh and forty-three points clear of relegation meaning we’re not quite safe yet, however, if we win away at Preston this week, our survival will be ensured. What a result. Anyway, we played Holloway’s QPR at the weekend […]
In this week’s blog, I am going to introduce a new segment in the piece as the transfer window has now closed and there won’t be any rumours for some time. Instead of me reporting on the transfer news I will be giving a brief report each week on the player we currently have out on loan. […]
Leeds United’s new head coach Paul Heckingbottom spoke to the press today for the first time since his switch from Yorkshire rivals Barnsley on Monday. The Barnsley-born Heckingbottom spoke on his choice to join Leeds, and what players and fans can expect from his time in charge. Discussing his two year stint as Barnsley manager, […]
What If? It’s funny how much of an effect one event can have you, isn’t it? I remember back at the end of August when we had failed to sign a striker on deadline day, I was livid, angry, upset and a whole host of other emotions which I rarely experience just because of our […]
As another transfer window draws to an end, clubs focus in on the remaining second half of the season – the ‘business end’ you might say. But business is something that QPR have alluded for a worrying, extending amount of time. After failing to spend a single penny over summer, QPR have done the same […]
It’s been quite a busy week for Blues and this blog will be a treat for you readers as I’ll be reviewing two games and previewing two games! Please hold your excitement though, as the transfer news, or lack of should I say, will kill the mood. Anyway, let’s get into it.  The Dream Stays […]
