Interviewed QPR's highly-rated manager Marti Cifuentes, who gave a brilliant explanation on why it is Championship football is so intense, why he'd hate AI and earpieces to players, and the composure required at tough moments (like 1 win in 16 before Nov)

I would have told someone to see a therapist if they told me in November we would be four points off playoffs come January.

Remarkable, remarkable turn around

Koki Saito, that is pure filth #QPR

#QPR

🔹 Rayan Kolli has 4 goal involvements in his last 6 apps for #QPR (2 goals, 2 assists).

🔹 Kolli is the first teenager to score 2 goals in a game for #QPR since Jimmy Smith vs Crystal Palace in 2006.

🔹 Kolli is #QPR’s joint-top scorer at Loftus Road this season (2 goals).

In his first year of test cricket, Gus Atkinson has taken a 5 wicket haul, a ten wicket haul, a test century and a test hattrick. Easy game innit Gus...?

Gus Atkinson gets a hat-trick overseas. Carse got a ten-for last time out. This is not normal for English bowlers. Take it all in #ENGvNZ

Add in Archer and Wood and that's a serious line up.

Dreading the inevitable news of all of them picking up mysterious injuries.

Baz, Stokes and Key need to put Atkinson and Carse in bubble wrap next year. Two gems for India and Australia

Football is sometimes very simple: Score a worldie and suddenly everything else seems easy.

Can only hope this is a new start for Celar. Can't underestimate how much he needed that #QPR

Werder Bremen confirm they have abandoned X/Twitter and will instead post on BlueSky.

They join St. Pauli in abandoning the other place.

This is a powerful statement that pulls no punches.

The better part of the Nations League shines through. Brilliant stuff
