@QPR Oh Charlie!! @chazaustin10

12th May. 12 years ago. 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 night in W1️⃣2️⃣!

@swanabi Fantastic to see how much better you are Abi, you do a great job x

Life was very different on this day 7 years ago - I was just trying to avoid another stay on a psych ward. It's been a journey!

@racingoncourse Went to Aintree this year. Backed to win with the course bookies and each way online where the terms are vastly superior. Some of the each way terms were pathetic

All on course bookmakers should pay 1/4 1-4. It does not encourage the public to come racing otherwise.

@WestLondonSport He brings absolutely nothing unfortunately. No passion, no excitement. Bit of a non entity

Stephan insists QPR have 'real potential' despite poor end to season westlondonsport.com/qpr/stephan-in…

@QPR That's some bench!

Team news is 𝗜𝗡! 🗞️

@SteveCook28 All the best to you. Proper player.

After three years, the time has come to move on from QPR. In my career, I have been fortunate to win promotions and enjoy successful campaigns in the Premier League. But ‘success’ is relative. And my time at Loftus Road really highlighted to me what fans want from you as their player. It isn’t always about winning leagues, achieving promotion. It’s about giving absolutely everything for their shirt, respecting the badge and respecting the fanbase. If you do that, proper fans will have your back. I have always seen QPR as a proper football club with proper fans – my time at Loftus Road confirmed it. It is far easier to be a fan when things are going well on the pitch. But it takes a special fanbase to stand with you during the hard times. We have had three tough battles at the wrong end of the table. On each occasion, the QPR fans turned up when we needed them, stood with us and successfully helped us across the line. To be named Supporters’ Player of the Year in my first season is something I will always be proud of, and to captain the club was an honour. As a player, you want to leave a club in a better state than when you arrived. I feel I achieved that with the help of all the coaches and team-mates I have worked with over the last three years. As I move on to the next chapter of my career, I want to say a huge thank you to the owners, the board, the management, coaches, staff and the R’s fans. It has been one hell of an adventure. We have had ups and downs but I have loved the journey. QPR will always have a special place in my heart and I wish you nothing but success in the future.

@TonyIncenzo @FulwoodAms1924 @thorntonfc @nwcfl @fcbusiness @NonLeagueCrowd Fantastic achievement. Well done @TonyIncenzo uuuurrrrrs!!

My life's ambition - COMPLETED I have arrived at my final Non-League ground in the entire National League System for Fulwood Amateurs v Thornton Cleveleys in the North West Counties League @FulwoodAms1924 @thorntonfc @nwcfl @fcbusiness @NonLeagueCrowd

@AtTheRaces Appeared to??

Oh no! Callum Pritchard appeared to stop riding a circuit early on Sweet Nightingale...

@NoContextBrits I bet she's a bandit.

@granthamtownfc What qualifies as 'concessions'?

@chazaustin10 That will be Bowles then

QPR fans, settle this… Bowles vs Ferdinand vs Francis 👀 I’ve made my call — this episode is a must listen for you R's 🎧 pod.fo/e/3c194b #QPR

@GetItQuietly @LoftforWords We made really good signings, just couldn't keep them fit

@JimRSeedhouse @LoftforWords I think it was a decent price. Speaks to my point above though.

The Final Countdown - Column With seven games to go and the mood among the fanbase lurching as violently as the results on the pitch, message board regular Dorse tries to work out where he lands with QPR’s Class of 25/26. fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queen… #qpr

@GetItQuietly @LoftforWords 9/4 at start of season. Thought it was a gift....I was wrong 😞

@JimRSeedhouse @LoftforWords Out of curiosity, what price did you get on that?

@WeAreWST Maybe when there are more seats knock the prices back down so that snooker fans can afford to go again.

We’re Staying 🏡 #TheCrucible

@1Bingy @WeAreWST It shouldn't have been 50, should have been 49 as the green was a free ball and counted as a yellow 🟡

@WeAreWST Ronnie on 50, Muir goes in off and ronnies score goes to 53!

BIZARRE frame 🤯 #WorldOpen

@swanabi You did a fantastic job all week Abi

First went to the Welsh Open as a kid in the 90s. One of my 1st jobs was as a runner at the event, then assistant producer and reporter. It's been a dream to present the evening sessions alongside some legends this week. So chuffed to see Barry back in the winner's circle 👏

@Racing_Tales @LeeMaplethorpe Oscar Whiskey?

Cant wait for the Supreme this season it looks red hot! Remember Menorah winning back in 2010 🔥

@Moray_Smith Is this the same Moray Smith who's kitchen I used to pick winners in getting on for 50 years ago?! 🤔

Reflecting on Constitution Hill's performance last night, I was left with the impression that they really want to run in the Champion Hurdle, but they would need to underpin that decision with something tangible. There was never any chance of just saying he's jumping well at home so we're rolling the dice. I wondered if they would announce that they will make the decision following a "key schooling session", which if it went well they could add to the work done by Yogi Breisner as evidence that things had been tweaked and they were moving forward responsibly, and that's the key word here ... responsibly. That schooling session has now been announced for next week, and that makes me think that if he schools ok, which I expect him to do, he will be heading to Cheltenham. Whether the work they have done has genuinely lessened his propensity to step at hurdles he meets on a long stride, who knows? I think the racecourse, with his adrenaline up, will be the only place where that question can be reliably answered. Moving on to the cold betting side of things. I'm working on a 75% chance of him lining up, Lossiemouth defecting to the Mares Hurdle, and him being a 3.25 chance on the day. That works out at a current price of 3.25 / 0.75 = 4.3 so I think his current price on Betfair (5.2) is a little bit of value. An alternative would be to simply back him to run, in the specials market. He's currently 1.4 in that v my assumed 1.33, so I believe the better value lies in the race market itself for anyone else who believes today's announcement is a big step towards his participation. Let's hope for all concerned they make the correct call.

@ratemyplatenow Is that in a bath 🛁?
