OSG Prem: Liverpool Escapes QPR With A Win

((HT: NBCSN/Beanyman Sports/BBCSport))

And the HQ means "escapes..."

In a game that was, mainly, Liverpool coasting against an inferior side in Queen's Park Rangers the last few minutes were stuff that was edge-of-the-seat madness really...

Two own goals...??? Really...??? Really...


QPR manager Harry Redknapp exposed a big flaw of his team post-match


Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers knows he's lucky...


The end result means that Liverpool move up to 5th with QPR dead last in the table. Burnley and QPR are tied at 4 points but the Clarets have an advantage from goal differential of 3.

Football Reporter Has Unique Use For Vanishing Spray

((HT: SkySports))

It's the end of the transfer window in football overseas at 6PM Eastern.

Sky Sports News, the 24-hour sports channel overseas goes balls-to-the-wall covering the european implications of the transcations that involve every level of the sport.

That means that they pogo from one live shot to another getting updates and gossip from each Premier League ground and it is must watch television on a bunch of different levels...

Reporter Gary Cotterill was at Queens Park Rangers HQ waiting for the standard "roll down the window live shot interview" with manager Harry Redknapp. But, he still had to do live shots...

Fans can be fans, so Cotterill employed a genius move to keep fans back so he could get work done...


Cheers to the QPR fans who played along...

OSG Prem: QP 'R' Back In The League

((HT: beINSports/SkyBet Championship))

It is called the most expensive game in all of soccer...

The winner of the Championship League play-in game gets the third slot in the 2014-15 Premier League and it looked like QPR and Derby County were heading to extra time scoreless...

Until this in the 90th minute...
((HT:SnappyTV))

And Zamora did just that...

Manager Harry Redknapp stayed with Tony Fernandes' squad, who played a man down, and head back to a league where the prevailing thoughts are that the win was worth 120-million pounds worth of television rights, sponsor dollars, and all the other bells and whistles that come with the league...

OSG Prem: Wigan Steals Crucial Point At QPR

((HT: Fox Sports/EPL))

What is it about Wigan and the end of the Premier League season...???

And how does manager Roberto Martinez continue to do that voodoo that he do so well...???

For, what seems like, the 458967340896th year in a row, the Latics can make another run toward saving themelves from relegation...

Bobby Zamora picked up a straight red in the 20th minute for QPR- whoch, doing the math, means that they had to play 70 minutes a man down. And, to their credit, they played very well...

QPR even had the lead with five minutes to go after a stunner from Loic Remy. But, much like everything this time of year with Wigan, they never quit. And Shaun Maloney's free kick equalizer deep into stoppage time for Wigan earned a crucial point on the road.

Here's the equalizer...


And what was Taarabt doing turning his head away from the kick when he was in the wall...???
'arry should deserve some answers...

It Was A Weird FA Day: Norwich and QPR Go Down

And, that, really is the only way we can describe it...

It was the 4th Round of the All-In tournament known as one of the most prestigious tourneys in all of British football...

And the All-in moniker came back to bite a few Premier League teams Saturday...

Blue Square Bet Premier League side Luton Town knocked off Norwich- who really have some pressing matters now... and it wouldn't surprise the HQ if Canaries manager Chris Hughton is on borrowed time...

It's the first time in 27 years that a non-league side knocked off a bigger squad...
((HT: FACup/lovefootballworld))


Elsewhere, MK Dons knocked off QPR (and we all know how 'arry Redknapp took to that), and the day before when Millwall beat Aston Villa 2-1 the HQ wonders just how much longer Paul Lambert will be around as Villa's boss.

Here was their celebration- after they chucked beer bottles at the Villa players...

OSG Prem: Hughes Put Out Of Misery At QPR

This move really isn't a shock- considering the gawd-awful start Queen's Park Rangers have had at the bottom of the Premier League table this year- dead last, 8 losses in 12 games, no wins, 9 goals total and a goal-differential of Minus-14...

Oh, and five points from being clear from relegation...

Owner Tony Fernandes thought that bringing in 11 new guys would shake things up, and the names sounded good- Ji-sung Park from Manchester United, Jose Bosingwa from Chelsea and Julio Cesar from Inter Milan.

But nothing has gelled at all...

Sir Alex believes that QPR should be better than they are...
((HT: FoxSports))


It all came to a head with a 3-1 loss to Southampton last week and it now looks like former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp will be taking over as caretaker manger...

But will it be enough to get them ahead of the likes of Villa, Southampton, and Reading to stay alive...
