Queens Park Rangers
built 276 days ago
Established in 1882 when two previous teams merged, Queens Park Rangers was so named as most of its players came from the Queens Park district on London. The team became a professional organisation in 1889 but did not find a permanent home until they moved into Loftus Road in 1917. The team moved gradually up the league tables and in 1967 caused a shock by becoming the first Third Division team to win the League Cup. Under managers such as Alec Stock, Dave Sexton and Terry Venables the club remained in the top rank but won very little. QPR was one of the founders of the Premier League in 1992.

A difficult game today away to Queens Park Rangers, Emperors started the brightest with Chris Chalet narrowly missing with a good effort from close range after the first 5 mins. QPR started to put on some increased pressure, hitting the bar. But it was Emperors who made the breakthrough when Christian Goodyear cut in from the left drilled the ball across the keeper into the far corner for a great individual effort 1-0 after 15mins. QPR began look for an equaliser but were halted when Gary Saunders broke up an attack, followed his ball to Sam Archer, who laid the ball back to Saunders who then drilled the ball across the face of goal for Goodyear to grab his second with a tap in 2-0 after 25mins. Danny Wardell came on for Ant Charles. Second Half substitution, Steve Harris for Sam Archer.

Epithets like 'the world's richest club' and bitter, ignorant articles have begun to ebb away as Rangers get on with a far more serious matter: surviving in the Championship. It's a tight league and while recent games have brought elegant football, it's grit that's needed to progress. A match like this is the perfect challenge. The mid-table Tykes epitomise this division: hard-working and quick to tackle. And with Rangers' new signings, including ex-Premier League youth alongside solid defenders such as Fitz 'One Size' Hall, still finding their way, the attractive style favoured by likeable manager Gigi De Canio may not work against such opposition. However, now's a good time to be a Rangers fan.

A goal from veteran defender Chris Morgan 13 minutes from time rescued a 1-1 draw for Sheffield United at Queens Park Rangers in the Coca-Cola Championship. Both sides had started the day seven points clear of the relegation zone in the Coca-Cola Championship, but with half an eye on gatecrashing the top six.

The club is commonly referred to as "QPR" or often just "Rangers" by fans. Other nicknames include the "Hoops" or the "Superhoops" (after the team's kit of blue and white hooped shirts), or the "Rs". The club's fans traditionally consider Chelsea, Fulham and Brentford as rivals owing to their nearby locations - ... recently they have also developed rivalries with Luton Town, Cardiff and Bristol City. QPR are not to be confused with the Scottish clubs, Rangers or Queen's Park.
