QPR Back to the Premier League

QPR had one aim this season get back to the Premier League and by hook or by crook they done it. Rangers were expected to win the league, if not at least come second. But a season of ups and downs it all came down to the gamble of the Play-Offs. Wigan in the semi finals, most people favourites, because of their Wembley experience. What Harry Redknapp done though was get his team tactically bang on for three massive games. The first at the DW Stadium he played a team that  1. Don't Concede.  2. Don't lose the game.  3. If you can score grab a goal.  4. If you can't score don't worry just don't lose. Which is exactly what happened. 0-0 Back to Loftus  Road, Wigan  took the lead early which meant QPR  had to go all out. With the fans behind them they dominated Wigan a nd deserved their extra time win via Charlie Austin who won player of the year, fans player of the year, goal of the season and any other award going.  So in the final it was Derby County,

Premier League Review - Liverpool Blew It, City Won, Chelsea should have done it & Moyes Killed it.

After a season of highs and lows I look back at what will be an  unforgettable season for many sides but for all the wrong reason. To start off let's look at the new Champions Manchester City. In true City style they made their fans wait till the last day of the season to seal up the league, but really they shouldn't have even been given this gift. They had the best squad, but after the defeat to Liverpool then draw at home to Sunderland it looked over for them. However City won the last 5 and showed they do have the bottle to see out a title challenge. Unlike Liverpool who were so close to their first ever Premier League title. The Reds started to believe, they started to dream, they couldn't let it slip, but sadly they did. It may have been the two buses by Chelsea that hit them hard, but in reality it was the leaky defence that finally sealed their downfall. Liverpool have been the most exciting team going forward but sides know you always have a chance of stealing a go
