As it stands QPR need 1 more goal, or for Villa to get another goal to move off the bottom.

I was mistaken QPR needed a 2 goal swing, they are now equal on goal difference but QPR remain bottom on whatever the next deciding factor is.
Strangely when QPR went 2-1 up 'Arry chuck on 3 attacking players as subs in place of defensive players. I would of thought he'd want to defend the lead!

Goals scored are next.

Well, you know what they say the best form of defence is <D. Annoyed QPR won though but a draw at Carrow Road Wigan not playing lifts us outside the bottom three.

===========================

Meanwhile in the championship the Owls beat the Foxes

Oldham lost again this Afternoon to Tranmere 1-0 but aleast other teams around Oldham lost too (Bury, Colchester and Scunthorpe) and Hartlepool could only get point against Yeovil, so not bad afternoon for Oldham but they still in bottom 4 and still two points behide Scunthorpe and three points behide Colchester but Oldham do have two games in hand on them so if they win them two, they could found themself four points ahead of Scunthorpe.

17th Preston - 43 points
18th Shrewsbury - 40 points
19th Colchester - 39 points
20th Scunthorpe - 38 points
--------------------------------------
21th Oldham - 36 points
22th Hartlepool - 32 points
23th Portsmouth - 30 points
24th Bury - 30 points

Big game on Tues night Oldham v Hartlepool and Bury v Scunthorpe, is must win for Oldham as Scunthorpe probably get win against Bury so Latics can't afford to slip up against Hartlepool on tues night.

To achieve a 2-2 draw away there was a very good result for Leeds United.

Conference Premiership

AFC Telford United 1...Hyde 3

These are the type of matches that Hyde must win and they did so quite convincingly tonight.

I show my former posting as a a sign of much happier days earlier in the season as 2012 ended with Hyde on a run of victories that had taken them from bottom place in the Conference to the dizzy height of ninth position.

However, in the 12 league matches played since then:-
Won.....1
Drawn...1
Lost ....10

I fear the worst...<(

Got to feel a little sympathy for David Moyes, the chance of Silverware gone for another year.

How much longer will he stay at Everton ?

The BBC are suggesting that may keep him at Everton, as nobody will want him. :roll:

On a side note how many teams outside of Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal (nothing since 05) and Liverpool have won silverware since Moyes has been at Everton?
No winning silverware outside of those 5 is not really a fair judgement.

(Obviously I know Swansea have won some)

One thing that I was not aware of, is that since losing to Celtic way back in early December, Ross County have not lost in the Scottish Premiership and have gained 27 points in that time...2 more than Celtic.

A fitting tribute to the former Highland League side, who joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premiership this season.

FA Cup: Portsmouth ('08)
League Cup: Blackburn Rovers ('02), Middlesborough ('04), Spurs ('08), Birmingham City ('11) and Swansea City ('13)

So not such a bad thing not winning silverware. There has been a total of only 8 teams outside of the top 4 winning silverware in the last 13 years (chelsea won the Fa Cup, and Liverpool the League cup in 2012from outside the top 4). There has been 44 pieces of domestic silverware available in his reign (Premiership, FA cup, League Cup, and Charity Shield). So about a 1 in 96 chance of a team from outside the Top 4 winning,

(probability calculation 8 in 44 rounded to 1 in every 6 winners outside of the top 4, multiplied by the 16 teams outside of the top 4)

this probability is assuming a premiership team will always win the cups.

If you fancy a nice quiet trip on the Kyle line my advice would be to check the fixtures first. Ross County have at least a dozen supporters from Kyle - I've travelled with them!

We beat (and relegated) Hinckley United 4-1 yesterday, but their "1" deserves to be more than just a "1". Have a look at it.

http://youtu.be/6wsCVL6TZcE

Yes indeed, 25th August 2012 was the highlight day of this current season of Hinckley United when they defeated Boston United 2-1 away from home. They must have thought that an away win so very early in the season was a harbinger of a good season, but from September 2012 onwards, all those high aspirations were doomed to disappointment.

Manchester United 2...Chelsea 2

Chelsea much improved in the second half and only De Gea in the Manchester United goal kept his team in the match, especially in the final stages of the match.

There are three match officials. Even if the referee did not see that incident, surely one of the two linesmen should have brought the matter to the attention of the referee.

I wonder if those who were so certain that Nani should have been sent off midweek thought Hazard should have been sent off in today's game?

That's the best quality shot of it because ITV decided not to show a close up replay, unlike the Nani incident which was shown in slow motion from as many angles as possible so as to make it look as dangerous a challenge as they could.

apart from keane itv were up in arms about the nani red card so not sure what your point is about the replays. that picture shows nothing to be honest. odd how you didnt mention the ferdinand assault.
