Hi guys QPR fan here just wanted to know your general opinion on us as a club, who like you have been blessed by rich owners. Think you deserve to win the league after a great season. Have a horrible feeling that Bolton will win at Stoke, therefore we will need something against you. I predict a nervy game with neither side wanting to give anything away early on. Can't bare to see Ferguson win another title so will be hoping you are winning if Stoke are 3-0 up!

Best of luck and hopefully you I will witness your boys beating us at Loftus Road next season.

There's a proper mixed bag on here between confidence and horrible nerves. Like you, I can see Bolton winning away at Stoke (Wigan done it on the final day last season) and your boys fighting for every single scrap to stay up.

I just finished watching the highlights of our match at loftus road in november, you scored 2, hit the woodwork twice, and Joe Hart made 2 fantastic saves that night...5 of those chances were headers. Granted, Kompany wasn't playing and Savic had a horrible evening, but Bothroyd and Helgusson were a threat all night in the air and it was probably the first game of our season where it looked as if we might lose for a fair part of it. Barton put in a few good crosses especially from dead ball situations. We have to be wary of that come Sunday. Of course you are likely only to start with one out and out striker in Cisse or Zamora, both of whom on their day can put in a decent shift and a physical performance, something you'll need. There's a few players who CAN cause us danger, the one's i've mentioned plus Mackie, Taraabt, Buszacky, and of course SWP. Your weak point imo has to be your defensive side, I just hope they don't come out and have a solid game on Sunday.

There's a few sides i'd rather face than QPR when the title is at stake, especially with a few QPR ex City players and manager having a point to prove, but if City play to the standards they've shown in recent weeks we will get the job done, we have to be at those standards though as anything below par will have a horrible outcome.

The longer you guys can keep it at 0-0, or even grab a 0-1 lead, the more nervy we will become and the harder we'll make it for ourselves, it's important City play 100% from the start.

I dislike QPR purely because of Hughes, him aside though i've no ill feelings against the club, apart from obscene ticket prices.

So with me predicting a Bolton win, i'm obviously hoping you get relegated...however as long as City win I don't really care what happens at the Brittania.

What's your likely starting 11 for Sunday?



Well, Hughes will almost certainly play 4-5-1 with Zamora up front on his own chasing shadows, and looking like he's just completed a marathon. I think this is probably the way to go, however leaving our best player, Cisse, on the bench is a little aggravating. A lot of our hopes rest on whether Diakite passes fit as he is a poor man's Yaya Toure giving great energy to our otherwise slow midfield, hence why we have struggled to break down Stoke and Chelsea recently

A number 11 fucking bus apparently[/quote]


Having had a look at their forums they all seem to be raving about this Diakite Samba, a midfielder on loan from Nancy. I know opposition fans can get optimistic but they seem to be of the opinion that he'll give Yaya Toure a good battle. The general consensus also seems to be that Cisse will score at any given opportunity, let's just hope we don't fucking give them any!!!
 
He wont get a chance to score because Barry will have him eating his words regarding a certain tortoise comment!
I do expect some of his wonderful corner kicks to go into the stands though.

Seriously, if we lose to QPR at home there's something wrong.
Barton might score, but it will be a mere consolation and Hart will point and laugh at him afterwards after the score board says 5-1

Lastly, who cares what the media thinks?

This
If we lose to QPR then really we dont win the league and we dont deserve to either

Unless Sunderland beat Ushited, which might be worth a little bet at reasonable odds.

I like QPR, decent club with decent fans especially considering you have Chelsea and Arsenal in close proximity. Ground reminds me a little of Maine Rd too.

Helguson is injured and Bothroyd is often on the bench.
I don't think Bolton will get anything at Stoke, Wheather is injured plus they have a few others out.

I'm going for

City 5-0 QPR
Stoke 3-0 Bolton
& Oh Sunderland 2-1 Rags
