I am sure QPR today will do the same thing to us like they did to Hotspurs and City sit back and Defense

I don't think they'll do a lot of defense work, they need wins and a match at home is a good opportunity, although its against United.
And Berbatov's volley was class, a player of his quality is too good to play for Fulham. Wish he went to Fiorentina.

What a great goal by Rafael PERSIE is off was struggling after first 20 minutes
Can't believe I'm saying this, but it looks like sixth place is ours to lose now.

What a result! Awful for most of the first 75 minutes, brilliant for the last 15. We were ok in the first half and had the better chances to score, that was until the defence lost Osman in the box and he scored, in my mind, against the run of play.
In the second half we were shocking and it looked like Everton were playing around with us, one touch passing making us look like fools, but their non-desire to go and get a second cost them. Kei Kamara was awesome when he came on, he's going to be a big star for us. I felt when the equaliser went in that there was a chance for us to go and get all three points and so it proved.
32 points on the board now, psychologically feels so much better than 29. A couple more wins and I think we're safe.

Our goal wans't against the run of play, entire first half was even. Either team scoring would have been fine.
You weren't amazing for the last 15 minutes, we are just terrible at seeing games out.
Draw probably fairest result of the three, with a home win the least fair, but we are going nowhere this season now.

Ipswich came to Huddersfield for (probably) the only time of my University life and naturally I went to West Didsbury & Chorlton FC take on Ashton Town FC in the North West Counties Division 1... 1-1 draw and a sh!t load of video filmed as well as about 6 interviews.
Stone me it was cold today!

Sir Alex thinks that RvP should be fine for the Real match - either way, it's not a long one, which is vital. Rafael - what an amazing goal. That was a real 'Brazilian' goal.
Fifteen points clear - regardless of what City do tomorrow, this could end up being extremely embarrassing for them, with their bottomless pit of money.
Late, but the FA quarterfinal draw in full:
Man United v Middlesbrough/Chelsea
Man City v Barnsley
Millwall v Blackburn
Everton/Oldham v Wigan Athletic
Potentially a Man United - Chelsea QF tie then. Which isn't exactly good news for Liverpool, because we so desperately need two Champions League sides hosting the cup final in order to play in Europe next season, and the chances only get reduced with one among Man Utd/Chelsea destined to bow out in the quarters now.
Really comes down to the semifinal draw now - a Man City v Man United/Chelsea draw means we're utterly screwed in that the sixth placed side in the league won't qualify for the Europa League next season.
Similar situation for Everton, although they're still in the cup and a place in the final against a Champions League side would suffice for them to play in next season's Europa League.
----------
To summarise:
If the FA Cup final is contested between Man United/Chelsea and Man City, then the sides qualifying for next year's Europa League will be Swansea/Bradford, 5th placed and 6th placed sides in the league.
Else it'd be Swansea/Bradford, the non-Champions League FA Cup finalist and the 5th placed side in the league.

Fairly comfortable win for City there - Chelsea rarely looked that threatening to be honest. In the meantime, Bradford's fairy-tale is coming to an end: they're getting thrashed by Swansea - who of course are approaching a fairy-tale ending of their own.

Yep, well done Swans. They're basically your second team aren't they, Epic?
