After an absence of 15 years Queens Park Rangers find themselves back in the big time, and it was fully deserved. It was a bit touch and go with all the speculation over the singing of Alejandro Faurlin and rumours of anything from point’s deductions, fines, relegation and even getting thrown out of football! In the end QPR heard the news everyone wanted to hear, just an hour before kick off on Saturday against Leeds the news came though that no point deduction would be given this meant QPR who lead the Championship from November would be going up as champions. To be fair it’s what they deserved. They have been the most consistent team in the league and have the best defensive record in the league. The team lead by Neil Warnock has been the best team by far. Warnock mixed experience, youth, pace, power and one magical Moroccan to take Rangers up to the Premier League. It’s now going to be very interesting to see what happens at Loftus Road now. They have some very VERY rich people behind them and could go crazy and buy their way to survival. Or do they stick with the core of the team that has done so well this season? Will Warnock stay or be pushed out? Will a bigger club come in for Taarbat? Whatever happens West London has a new addition in the Premier League and I know QPR fans can’t wait till that fixture list comes out.
After Chelsea’s defeat in Germany to Bayer Leverkusen manager Andre Villas-Boas is a man under serious pressure no matter what he thinks. As Chelsea sank to their third defeat from their last five games I look into where has it gone wrong? Well Chelsea was on a run of six unbeaten going in to their game at Loftus Road towards the end of October. A game where Chelsea thought they would walk all over their London rivals. This didn’t happen that day in West London Chelsea lost the game and lost the plot. The repercussions of that match have still left an effect. QPR won 1-0, but the game will also be remembered for John Terry’s racist slur, Chelsea’s ill-disciplined team (7 yellows and 2 reds). Plus AVB was fined £12,000 after the game for comments made about the referee. Since that match Chelsea have only beaten Blackburn Rovers & Everton on penalties. Their defence looks weak, Terry is getting exposed and David Luiz is not the best partner. Centre of midfield is a problem, Lampard ...
