QPR visit Tottenham Hotspur FC
Well this weekend we have another London battle as we travel to White Hart Lane to take on Spurs.
We have had some terrific games with Spurs over the years and for me I really love this fixture.
Over the years we have contested some 42 League games from 1948-1995.
We have had a few Cup encounters too , we managed a 1-0 victory in the League Cup
in 1973.
On the occasions we have met in the FA Cup , they both went to replays and we lost them both , in 1981 3rd round and of course a year later in the Final of 1982.

Tottenham are now one of the main players in the Barclays Premiership, and took on the best Europe has to offer last season in the Champions League. But back in the day they, along with Arsenal and Chelsea, were just another London club we would finish above in the table and take points from on regular occasions.
The 1992 thrashing of Spurs at Loftus Road was arguably our finest performance in our four Premier League years.
Spurs spent plenty of money back then, they’d splashed £2.3m out on Teddy Sheringham from Nottingham Forest shortly before this game and he opened the scoring with a scrambled Loft End effort in the first half after a vintage Darren Peacock slip, but they worked their way through an alarming amount of managers and lurched from one crisis to the next under the chairmanship of first Irving Skolar and then Alan Sugar. They bit off more than they could chew in this game as well as Gerry Francis’ team ran riot in the second half.
It was a day for unlikely goals from unlikely sources and Rangers equalised through Ian Holloway who hit a half volley down into the sodden pitch and celebrated raucously as it bounced over Torsvedt and into the Spur net.
Tottenham had gone, mentally and physically, and Ranger went into the lead a short time later after a prolonged period of pressure where Dennis Bailey saw a shot blocked and then worked it wide to Sinton whose cross was headed into the net by Ray Wilkins stooping low on the edge of the six yard box.
Sinton was the supplier of the third as well, pulling down a cross from Impey and firing it through the goal mouth for Penrice to lash in from close range. And Penrice was just as emphatic with his gratuitous smash into the roof of the net for the fourth goal as well, David Bardsley with the assist that day.

QPR's best season in the First Division was aided by a convincing second half performance that lead to a 3-0 win at White Hart Lane.
The first half was nothing to write home about with neither side managing a shot in anger, but Rangers struck in the 55th minute with Bowles heading on a Parkes kick out and Don Givens finishing with aplomb.
Just after the hour, Masson's free-kick found Francis racing in to swing the ball home and the future Spurs manager ran half the length of the field to shoot home the third on 74 minutes.
Parkes was called into action as Spurs tried to gain some succour, but his endeavours denied Tottenham and the intervention of the goalpost stopped Osgood gaining some consolation.
