Hoop Dreams - QPR FC

First post and a quick description of what this website is supposed to be about. I am a recent convert to the world of Queens Park Rangers FC - a strange, murky yet sometimes happy world.
There are a few disclaimers for why I am suddenly so interested in QPR though. Firstly, my indoctrination in the world of the Hoops was for professional reasons - I want to be a football journalist and was lucky enough to get a freelance job for a local paper (the Hammersmith & Fulham News: http://www.lbhf.gov.uk/Directory/News/) writing about the club. Prior to that my contact with west London's finest was minimal - vague memories of Trevor Sinclair scoring possibly one of the best goals ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2KeX7nhZRY) and of Arsenal thrashing them in the FA Cup (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1138764.stm).
That leads me to the second disclaimer - I'm a life-long Arsenal fan who wasn't even born in London (East Midlands) and I have probably thereby alienated myself to 90% of football supporters who might read this. I'm a fully paid-up prawn sandwicher - I never watched a game before Italia 90 and Gazza crying (more because of age than any other reason), I've never been pissed on while standing on a crumbling terrace and I sadly think Fever Pitch is a pretty decent book and not the downfall of football as we know it. I barely deserve a footballing opinion considering these qualifications and I should probably go and watch rugby, but it is incredibly dull whereas football is undoubtedly, provably the greatest sport ever invented and should be celebrated as such.
Now, QPR aren't currently the finest exponents of this beautiful game but a job is a job and after a season of watching them struggle to mid-table, sack 2 managers and perfect a tactical system which saw them score the fewest goals in their league, I can truly say they have grown in my affections. Not enough to forget about Arsene Wenger, why he won't spend any money and another trophyless season but more than enough to actually want to go to a half-empty Loftus Road on a winter's weeknight and watch them lose 2-1 to Burnley. And then write about it.
There is undoubtedly something about QPR, a reason why people turn up week after week even though their current owners have a tendency to openly take the piss out of them.
You can't really be a fair-weather fan at QPR for a start - you have to pay more than any other supporter in the Championship to go and watch them. It could be their history (to the uninitiated and briefly, in 1975-6, QPR were a game away from winning the First Division and former player Stan Bowles is ranked as one of England's greatest forgotten talents), their location, their kit, I don't know.
Which is probably the main point of this website. I go to the games, I hear what the manager has to say, I write a match report and then thats it (though sometimes I do get some nice lasagne from Flavio's Ciprianis restaurant): http://www.qpr.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10373~1355821,00.html).
A match report is a match report but there's more to going to watch football then what formation the Hoops lined up with or why they need to sign a striker. So hopefully here I can write a bit more freely about trying to work QPR out, whether its about the supporters or the chairman.
And hopefully I can get a better idea when I'm talking utter shite. There is clearly a massive amount about QPR which I don't know and though it may be breaking some journalistic covenant, feedback should be important. How else can I know that Peter Ramage is possibly the worst right-back to ever turn out for them? Or that Dexter Blackstock will never be as good as Les Ferdinand (that one is actually obvious to be honest)?

Just don't send me messages to say 'F8ck off back to the Emirates'.
