So, only one result is possible right? Well wrong, of course, because football doesn't work like that. If it did, none of us would have to work because we could all put our mortgages on the results of games like this. The QPR boys will be fired up and Chelsea may have an off day after the 5-0 blitzing of Ghent. Stranger things have happened.
But even then, most would be amazed if QPR can muster more than a single point from the game - and I fully expect Chelsea to win by a two or three goal margin - at least. Torres is suspended, but that doesn't really matter. Warnock has lamented the loss of DJ Campbell, whilst Villas Boas will barely notice that Torres isn't available for selection - and that says it all!
And for QPR, a heavy home defeat will see them slide further down the table. Bolton and Sunderland meet, so one or both of these bottom four teams will edge closer. Indeed, victory for either is likely to see them climb above QPR in the table on goal difference. That is an uncomfortable prospect and puts the "good start" to the season into perspective just as the more difficult fixtures are about to start. A winner in the Wolves v Swansea game will also see the victors leapfrog QPR, pushing them still lower in the table. And the same applies to the victors in the Fulham and Everton game.
The bottom of the Premiership is closing up concertina fashion and QPR are going to have to play out of their skins over the next month to avoid being in the bottom three come the start of December. With unrest in the camp courtesy of Barton's comments about Adel Taarabt, things could start to fall apart big time as the pressure mounts.
Unless, of course, Warnock's Rangers shock us all by beating Chelsea tomorrow. Wright-Phillips has something to prove, doesn't he?

at last a story where you have been relatively unbiased. Most of what you said was true, although id say barton and wright-phillips would make the squad. Not start. I know Wright-Phillips got offloaded, but i cant help but think he is better than the likes of Kalou, and Mikel. Thanks for a decent read mate. LoftusRoadLad

Cheers 0958.
Enjoy El Scum Diouf
Is this a west ham blog or a QPR one get a life mate and concentrate on west ham, as QPR supporter I have great respect for west ham and there history and hope both of us can play each other next season.
I know it's your blog, so you can write whatever you want, but it's getting a little boring, as a west Ham fan, coming back here wanting to read about West Ham but instead seeing that you're still argueing with some qpr fans.
It's very simple mate. Ignore the QPR threads. i've said before, I am following Rangers' fortunes in the Prem this season given we aren't there!
Would love for QPR to beat the Chelski scumbags although can't see it happening or them staying up. Warnock is not a premiership manager.
I fear someone is going to be eating his words in 45 mins time.
It's a funny old game football sometimes what with QPR being 1-0 up, Chelsea 2 players down and Utd getting tonked 1-6 at Old Trafford.
