Just gonna say, chelsea absolutely battered QPR just couldn’t score. QPR could not get out of their own half from what I saw. Also I seem to remember Pardew saying Newcastle were a class above Everton before the season start.

Harry Redknapp is working his magic again :) I haven’t watched the game, so I don’t know exactly how things went at Stamford Bridge, but I’m happy that Harry pulled it off, I really admire him as a manager.

From beating Villa 8-0 to losing at home to QPR? And about Newcastle with Ba gone who’s gonna get the goals? Cisse everyone says but I don’t think so! Once Ben Arfa and Cabaye are back I think Newcastle will get back in European spots!

Chelsea did not deserve to lose they absolutely killed QPR they just could not finish, Newcastle will not get into Europe this year, from 15th nearly in relegation, no chance. Maybe if Pardew had tried to build a squad that relied on more than 2 strikers to score every game ba leaving may not have been a problem. Everton had mirallas out, coleman, hibbo, gibson all key players (maybe not hibbo). We had no right side of the pitch. If a team is relying on 3 players to make Europe it cannot be sustained

Another disgraceful performance form Arsenal. The quicker Wenger goes the better! Newcastle will pick up and will be 8th or 9th and QPR will still go down
