QPR are not going to beat Man City - that's for sure. The best we can hope for is that they can grab a point, but it's most unlikely. The only thing we have in our favour is that nerves could get to the City players in such a big game, whereas QPR haven't really got anything to lose - no one expects them to get anything, so they can just go out there and have a go. As they're saying just now on Sky - there's more pressure on City today.
I wonder how many QPR players and fans are thinking back to the QPR v Man City game at QPR? QPR had such rotten luck that day, they deserved at least a draw out of it - and of course that would've been two points less for City and we'd be favourites to win the title today.
Sorry Sparky, but unless teams around QPR do you a massive favour, you're going down today.
As for our new shirt, different is good if it actually improves upon how the shirt looks. Which it doesn't.

Of course, Utd themselves have an extremely tough game - a win at Sunderland certainly isn't a given.
That Sky Sports V/O just now - if only all we had to do was 'rise to the occasion', I'd back us to win the title today. The fact is, unless we whack Sunderland 15-0 (because City are probably going to do QPR by four or more) it will count for nothing. It's good that Sir Alex has plans to keep pace with City; those plans must include some midfield steel and some midfield creativity! Cleverly will be a great player, but I don't think he's quite ready yet to carry the midfield.
