No chance of Jermain Defoe leaving Tottenham for QPR
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham completed the signing of Roberto Soldado today, with the Spaniard passing his medical over the weekend - and in true ’2+2′ fashion, rumours are now swirling around the future of Jermain Defoe.
Yup, because Tottenham are going to celebrate finally having depth at the forward position by selling-off [...]
QPR doom-mongering runs out of legs
QPR fans will remember January well: as Harry Redknapp scrambled to keep the club in the Premier League, and sprayed Tony Fernandes’ money all the way across Europe in doing so, all the talk was of how this club was another Portsmouth in the making and how the outlay was completely unsustainable.
…and right at the heart of that a [...]
Top 5: Relegated players who still belong in the Premier League
5. Shaun Maloney
Maloney has been the subject of some hyperbole since the FA Cup final, and all of a sudden he’s become everyone’s favourite unfashionable player. Okay, let’s just inject a little realism into that: he’s a good player, and someone who can have a positive effect on Premier League games, but he’s [...]
Warning Arsenal off Loic Remy
There was a point at which Loic Remy looked like he would be a really good fit for any club in the Premier League’s top-four. He’s always been an exceptional finisher, and his technique around the box has long-since been eye-catching.
Arsenal are the latest club to be strongly linked with the QPR forward, and depending on which [...]
Joey Barton reverting to type regarding QPR’s relegation
I used to defend Joey Barton quite a lot on this site, as I found his honesty quite refreshing in the face of an increasingly sanitised game.
I was completely wrong though, he’s just a self-serving, attention-seeking tosser.
Here are his thoughts on QPR’s relegation:
“I played ten seasons in England, it will miss me, but if [...]
QPR vs Arsenal: Individual Player Stats
Now is not the time to worry about performance, and whether Arsenal won by one goal or five this evening was rather incidental. Job done.
Here are the statistics from Loftus Road:
- Aaron Ramsey had 117 touches of the ball, the most in the game.
- Arsenal had four players who had over 90 touches of the ball (Ramsey, Cazorla, Sa [...]
Harry Redknapp reverting to type at QPR
Harry Redknapp is too long in the tooth to change, so hoping that he’ll add humility to his list of personality traits is rather futile.
It’s always somebody else’s fault with Redknapp - there’s always a referee, an opposing player, an individual error, or a circumstance to which blame can be attached.
When Tony [...]
Not understanding the animosity towards QPR & Tony Fernandes
Barring something almost unprecedented, QPR will be dropping out of the Premier League this season. While the schadenfreude from Chelsea and Fulham fans is expected, the overall sense of glee at Rangers’ demise this season has been rather disproportionate.
In particular, Tony Fernandes seems to have become something of a figure of fun [...]
Save of the weekend: QPR’s Robert Green
Rob Green’s save from Maya Yoshida’s header.
This is as much about circumstance as it is the save itself. Sure, Green’s strong-wristed denial of Yoshida was spectacular enough, but it also marked a good moment in a career which has for too long been associated unfairly with calamity.
Green is a good goalkeeper who has been [...]
Defending QPR and Harry Redknapp over Dubai-gate
This is an opinion based on logic rather than necessarily fact, so apologies if it later turns out to be incorrect.
Reports emerged in The Mirror this morning about QPR’s recent trip to Dubai, and how the get-away was more akin to a stag-do than it was warm weather training.
Harry Redknapp reacted badly to the reports, and he contest [...]
Esteban Granero loyal to QPR; loyalty which might not be possible to repay
Esteban Granero is in a strange position at QPR; Harry Redknapp clearly doesn’t have the kind of faith in him that Mark Hughes did, but the Spanish midfielder is maintaining that he has no intention of leaving the club in the Summer:
“I am not the type of player who wants to play for many teams and move every transfer window.
I l [...]
QPR vs Manchester United: Individual Player Stats
The Premier League Owl
Not exactly the momentum-boost that Harry Redknapp was looking for this afternoon, and that mountain Rangers had to climb when he took over now looks insurmountable.
Here are the Stats from Loftus Road, as United continued their walk to the title:
- Of all the starting players, Esteban Granero had the highest pas [...]
Thoughts on Jose Bosingwa’s situation at QPR
The Premier League Owl
So, Harry Redknapp and Jose Bosingwa have apparently buried the hatchet over the latter’s refusal to sit on the bench during QPR’s game with Fulham in December.
It’s not fair to criticise Redknapp for this, because he needs whatever help he can get to keep Rangers in the Premier League - and fro [...]
Tony Fernandes discusses QPR’s spending
The Premier League Owl
There are people out there who, having written some very negative articles about QPR’s recent transfer spending, would quite like to see the club go tumbling down the financial abyss - the urge to be proved right is always very strong in the media.
Tony Fernandes, however, has claimed that there’s no s [...]
