Heidar Helguson...

Just a quick update to the exciting story posted last week that QPR had signed an Icelandic player - like a combination of two of my favourite things. This was followed by the horror of uncertaintly, he didn't appear in the two games since he was announced. Had we been lied to? Was I the victim of the cruellest possible joke? The rumours were that he was injured, that he had turned down the contract terms at the last minute, that he was to sign instead for London rivals Charlton (who we beat 2-1 last night - HA!).

Anyway, whatever the truth. A new article appeared tonight on the official website, with words and a  picture of him, at our ground. Surely, it is true...this time. Good luck Heidar.

NEWSFLASH - Two Worlds Collide

Some things are too exciting and so beautifully relevant and a holiday has to be interrupted. I've long dreamed of such an event, and the excitement mounted as the rumours grew stronger, but goodness me when it was confirmed by a text I very nearly spat my ice cold beer all over this sun-drenched golden beach.

QPR SIGN ICELANDER

Yes, my beloved Queens Park Rangers now have an Icelandic player - a big welcome to Heidar Helguson. He's joined on an 'emergency' loan, but such things have a habit of becoming more permanent. I don't know what the emergency is, other than a streak of disappointing form and low goal count, but I'm very glad to see the Icelandic reinforcement arrive. Will it make me support them more? No. Will it make me smile more? God yes! Will I feel an unreasonable sense of ownership and responsibility when (not if) he scores? Erm, yep. So good luck Heidar, no pressure...

Erm, an update... he didn't play in the 3-0 defeat to Watford on Saturday (now, that's an emergency). Nasty rumours that he is either injured (already) or never actually agreed terms and joined at all and is back with Bolton. Who knows.......
