Well done Fulham.  Our (QPR's) West London rivals, but I always like to see more London teams in the PL (more games to choose from when I go over).

 

And fuck off John Terry.

Craven Cottage is only 1.7 miles to Stamford Bridge, but it is 2.9 miles to Loftus Road Stadium.

PLUS, both Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge are actually in Fulham, whereas QPR is in Shepherd's Bush. Wouldn't that make Chelsea FC Fulham's West London rival?

Doesn’t Sessegnon have a brother at the club too?  Might make him stay.  Think Grealish will go.  Can’t believe Hutton is still playing.  Craven Cottage is a great ground to go to so glad they are up.  Villa park isn’t so bad either so would’ve swapped Villa for Cardiff.

All three are West London rivals to each other (and you could even throw in Brentford).

 

As far as QPR fans are concerned Chelsea is the main rival (as in most hated; not in the competitive sense) followed by Fulham.  But given QPR's lower profile Chelsea fans would dismiss QPR as irrelevant anyway and yes Fulham would consider Chelsea their main rivals.

While I was in Argentina, for a while my flatmate was from London and though he supported Newcastle, his younger brother was a Chelsea fan. This was during some of the FulhAmerica time, so I remember looking at the walk from Craven Cottage to Stamford Bridge on Google Maps. That's the only reason I was so familiar with the distance before even looking it up. Even my flatmate didn't realize that Stamford Bridge was technically in Fulham, because it's on the west side of the railroad tracks.

(Though I never knew that Liverpool's and Everton's stadiums are on opposite sides of a park until I watched the Jamie Carragher "Premier League Legends" episode and there's a flyover during the intro. Only Racing & Independiente, both in the Buenos Aires suburb of Avellaneda, are closer to my knowledge. They are separated by a practice field.)

I was going to say that QPR and Fulham probably have more of a storied rivalry due to similar finances for most of their history, but I looked it up and was I wrong.

Club <- WINS - DRAWS - WINS -> Club 

Chelsea <- 46 - 26 - 11 -> Fulham - - 83 TOTAL MATCHES
Chelsea <- 22 - 18 - 15 -> QPR- - - - - 55 TOTAL MATCHES
Fulham <- 16 - 7 - 14 -> QPR - - - - - 37 TOTAL MATCHES
