A full house at Loftus road and the atmosphere was buzzing before kick off. Queues to get in lots of singing this really was all set up for a special night. In the build up to the game Gerry described this as our "cup final" and the crowd responded to with a cup final atmosphere. Sadly the players must have watched the Milk Cup Final of 1986 and were fucking useless. I don't say that lightly and apologise for swearing but from minute one we were as bad as we were at Luton and in many ways much worse.

Straight from kick off they attacked us and as we stood off them we watched as they passed through us and a Luton player hit a shot in off the post for 1-0. 40 seconds gone and the mood had changed. The atmosphere died from the home end and the team were clueless. Just as I said in my preview to the match Luton countered our one tactic by closing down the wing backs and we just couldn't get out of own half more due to zero movement up front and a midfield that lacked the hunger to want the ball.

We managed our first shot on 43 minutes and that was well wide. It was rubbish and the fact that Luton didn't have to do much to win easily was frightening. Matthew Rose sat in midfield and proved to all those who want him in that position that he can't do it. He was rubbish and looked totally unfit until Gerry made a brave change. It's one he'll get no credit for but Kiwomya came on for Plummer after less than half an hour. Kiwomya didn't do much for the rest of the half with no service for him or Crouch/Koejoe but at least Rose looked more comfortable as sweeper.

Half time came and not as many boos at at Luton last week but the feeling was just as angry. In the bar I was devastated at how bad we were playing and said to two mates (who were very bored) that we are so shit we will score in the last minute and therefore have to suffer another half hour of this shit. I didn't expect to be proved right.

At least we showed some fight second half. Luton were looking to hold on to what they had which I found surprising as they looked dangerous everytime they went forward and if they had gone for it they would have got at least one more goal. Still we at least created a few chances in this half. Kiwomya chipped over the bar when clean through and also shot straight at the keeper when he should have done better.

We threw everything at them as Langley began to have a bigger influence in midfield but Darlington was awful on the right and his crossing was even worse than normal. Baraclough was lucky not to be sent off for elbowing Mark Stein but only got a yellow. The game looked over and Ngonge was now on as we had 5 up front. Game Over?

Well the cries of "What a load of rubbish " and the people leaving would bring you to that conclusion but we managed to nick a goal we didn't deserve. Langley appeared to knee a Luton player in the head but the ref waved play on, Baras ball into the box created a scramble which fell to Kiwomya and the next thing we knew the ground erupted. An equaliSer against Luton Town has not been celebrated so wildly since, well last week but it felt good to grab a draw from the jaws of defeat.

Luton players went mad as it shouldn't have been allowed but the amount of time wasting they did and play acting it was poetic Justice I think. We still almost cocked it up as Spring hit a screamer just over before the ref blew the whistle. Extra time saw one change as Koejoe was replaced by Wardley.

We were all over them in the first half of extra time as Crouch had the ball robbed from him with the goal gaping before Kiwomya was put through and brought down by the keeper. PENALTY! Despite being the last man the number of coins being thrown at the ref seemed to make him bottle the decision and offer a yellow instead of the red it should have been for the keeper. Langley stepped up to take it which took some bottle and he sent the keeper the wrong way but hit the bar. From the rebound the keeper made a good save from Langley. A

s is usual of the fickle QPR crowd we booed and gave abuse to Langers but did anyone have confidence in Kiwomya scoring after is last two penalties? Langleys head went down and after getting no support from the bench (only Mark Perry appeared to pat him on the back) he did not feature to much in the rest of the half. Only one side looked like scoring and it was us but not through any quality just long balls causing problems.

Another long ball in saw it fall to Kiwomya who took his chance well to send us crazy and dreaming of Arsenal. Luton pushed on at us but full credit to Langley and Crouch who held the ball up for us on the right and ran the clock down. The crowd celebrated as if we'd won the cup singing"Bring on the Arsenal" just 30 minutes after calling every player, the manager and chairmen a not very capable individual or words to that effect. We didn't deserve it but we won and god help us against Arsenal.
