New Year's Glee(ve)
QPR never let you down. There's no other team in world football who put you through the mill - on and off the field - like Rangers. Only QPR can go to the likes of Crewe (look it up) for a meaningless fixture and win a 7 goal thriller 4-3. One nil down quickly became 2-1 up thanks to two goals in a minute. And this was after 35 minutes. Ten minutes later and we're suddenly 3-2 down by half time. Heads down all rounds then. But wait, what's this? Martin Rowlands makes it 3-3 with a long range drive ten minutes after the break and it's game on. And with the match, and indeed year, drawing to a close, returning hero Richard Langley scores a glorious winner to send the fans at the game and all us exiled ones into a frenzy. Just what is it with New Year's Eve games? I was at Highbury on this day in 1994 to see John Jensen score his only ever Arsenal goal (after 98 appearances, I scarily recall) before we went down the pitch and scored twice in a minute (spooky) in a famous 3-1 away win. Add this to the list, pop open the champagne and a Happy New Year to all readers. Cheers!
