March 2, 2013.
653 days have passed since QPR last won a Premier League game away from home. Â Two Christmas days will have done so as well by the time they head for the Emirates to take on Arsenal in their next clash outside of Loftus Road. Â 13 top flight fixtures since they beat Southampton 2-1 two seasons ago and they’ve taken just one point on their Premier League travels since.
Here are a few things that have happened since the Londoners managed to pick up a win on the road up with the big boys.
1. Katie Taylor has won two European championships and a fifth world title in that period.
2. Stephanie Roche had no problems away from home as she bagged an absolute beauty that has her in line for a Puskas award.
3. Joe Brolly had a meltdown about Sean Cavanagh’s rugby tackle then the black card had a full season in Gaelic Football.
4. Conor McGregor started his UFC career, winning his four fights to date and producing about nine million magic quotes.
5. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 101 competitive goals.
6. England won no World Cup games. Â Germany won a World Cup.
7. Andy Murray was crowned Wimbledon champion.
8. Rory McIlroy won two majors and a Ryder Cup.
9. Aston Villa have scored 70 league goals in that time. Villa…
10. The Ice Bucket Challenge has come and gone.
11. Roy Keane’s beard has come and gone.
12. Roy Keane’s Aston Villa career has come and gone.
13. Martin O’Neill took charge of the Republic of Ireland.
14. Phil Taylor won his 14th World Darts Championship. Michael van Gerwen won his first.
15. Alex Ferguson retired. David Moyes took over… kind of.
16. Brian O’Driscoll finished off his Ireland career with a Six Nations championship.
17. QPR have brought 29 players in during the transfer windows.
And this isn’t even Rangers’Â worst run of games in the top flight as this brilliant graphic will show just how dire they are on the road in the top flight.
