Richard has lots left in the tank, thanks in part to Harry, insists the Herald.

Chequered flag in sight but Dunne has no intentions of retiring; will skip summer friendlies.

Dunne rooting hard for Man City.

Thought everyone would like to read this report from his performance in the play off final:

And that’s how it was. Derby attacked in steady, repetitive, waves, but every time they got near the QPR penalty area there was Dunne or Onuoha. The Rams forced 14 corners in the end – Dunne headed ten of them clear himself, and on two other occasions climbed to nod the returned ball out as well. The two of them read the game as if operating from an advanced computer programme – it wasn’t human. Dunne stood like a 100 foot tall concrete monument to the art of defending. A year ago he was finished, aged 33 and coming back from a long term injury. Three months ago he looked spent, even Harry Redknapp admitting he was running on empty. Dominant just doesn’t cover it. He was colossal. If you thought he was exceptional for the extra-time period against Wigan at Loftus Road – and he was – that was nothing compared to this. Astonishing.

Quite literally reading that gave me a lump in my throat

From an Ireland perspective , i desperately wanted to see Keogh and Hendrick in the premiership next season as they are the future

But it is without a doubt fantastic to see the big man back in the premiership after so many (myself included) thought he was on the way out

Legend!!

Queens Park Rangers want to make Steven Caulker their next signing, according to the Daily Mail. It is reported that QPR have made a bid for the Cardiff City centre-back and ideally want to team him up with Rio Ferdinand at the heart of a new-look defence.

Yes, Caulkner to put some serious pressure on Dick:

Would like to see this guy get a good run this year: http://www.qpr.co.uk/team/player-pro...chael-harriman

Rio is going to die on his arse at QPR this year. Don't be surprised if he does a Gary Neville and retire mid season after getting rode in a few games...

**Stuttgart88** · 23/07/2014, 7:54 AM

Sky can only see Caulker and Rio starting, that's how they talk about it on SSN.

If those two started the playoff final Derby might be in the Premier League.

I saw a Harry Redknapp interview on Sky Sports news last week - when QPR were in negotiations with Cardiff over Caulker and Harry said that they were hoping to play 3 centre backs in the premiership next season

If Rio is going to be strolling (Rio's top speed now) about then you probably need 3 centre backs.

Good news from oneill on Dunne.

was it cd who said he didn't see him featuring again under oneill?

Anyway good to see:
“While Richard didn't play for us since I took over, I know all about his ability. I have said this before, I'm in no position to exclude people, especially people like Richard.”
