This weekend's Premier League games

[mackenzie]

I may have been exaggerating slightly with my "as good as Everton comment", but I don't think it's ridiculous to predict that QPR will survive. They have much more individual quality than Southampton, Sunderland, Aston Villa, Stoke City, Norwich City, Wigan and Reading so I think they're going to be alright come May.

They were in freefall at the end of last season and they haven't done anything since then to suggest they have turned a corner.
Hughes will go before Christmas and deserves to.

QPR need someone like Darren Bent up front with Cisse if they want to start looking at Europa League football. I think Villa would let him go for £10-£15m now they have Benteke up-front.

is jagielka a city fan ?

think he's a Rag but his brother is a blue, think I read that somewhere.

 

[taconinja]

who's the short fat slow guy playing up front for QPR?

Do you mean their number 10? That's Taraabt, right?

And it seems as if after many months, Hughes has figured out that QPR is built to counter as their main strategy.

 

[Ovo]

And there's one player that makes up some of the individual quality I was talking about.

Junior Hoilett scores to make it 1-0.

I can't speak for others but what I thought was tosh was the on par with Everton comment. I agree with you actually. They have some really decent individuals on paper but paper never won a football match.

But the players a team has on paper eventually come up with the goods on the grass. A squad that contains Julio Cesar, Jose Bosingwa, Fabio, Stephane Mbia, Samba Diakite, Park Ji-Sung, Adel Taarabt, Esteban Granero, Shaun Derry, Djibril Cisse and Bobby Zamora cannot and will not go down. If they need a change of manager to sort out the problems they are currently having then so be it, but that squad is good enough to stay up with a decent manager in charge.

It's not like they're strapped of cash and aren't willing to spend in January if things don't improve.

No they don't. Many a team have been relegated that were too good to go down. Good individuals don't always make a good team.

The only team I can think of that were "too good to go down" is Leeds from 2004 - and maybe Newcastle from 2009.

Re: Talksport journo this morning

i just made up a song for him:

he is not, he's not really here
he is not, he's not really here
johnson is the invisible man
hes not really here

 

[squirtyflower]

why doesn't Everton's midfield be as slow anduniterested in tracking back when we play them?
