Arsenal v Qpr

may the forth be with you....




QPR could recall defender Chris Samba, who was left out for Sunday's draw at Reading, which confirmed the club's relegation.
On-loan Tottenham winger Andros Townsend may return from a hamstring problem.
Arsenal have no fresh injury concerns, but striker Olivier Giroud serves the second match of a three-game ban.
Lukasz Fabianski remains sidelined by a rib injury, while Abou Diaby is out with a long-term knee problem.




Head-to-head
The Gunners have failed to win their last six league games away at QPR (D4, L2), although they did beat Rangers 6-0 at Loftus Road in an FA Cup fourth-round tie in 2001.
Their last top-flight away win in this fixture was by 3-1 on 24 November 1990.
However, the Gunners did record Premier League wins at Loftus Road in 2002-03 and 2003-04, when Fulham were tenants at the stadium during the reconstruction of Craven Cottage.
Queens Park Rangers
The last time QPR were relegated from the Premier League (in 1995-1996) they took 15 seasons to get back to the top flight.
QPR have gone four hours and 35 minutes without scoring. If they are unable to score on Saturday it will be the first time they have failed to net in four successive top-flight games since a similar drought between August and September 1989.
They have taken just two points from their last six league matches.
QPR have the second best points-per-game average in May (1.83) in Premier League history. Only Manchester United (2.09) have a better record.

Arsenal
The Gunners are chasing a fifth successive away win in all competitions.
Arsenal are one of only two Premier League teams who have yet to lose after taking the lead this season. Manchester United are the other side with that record.
The Gunners have surrendered just six points from winning positions this term, the second best record in the top flight. In comparison, fellow Champions League hopefuls Chelsea and Tottenham have dropped 16 and 23 points respectively.

Arsenal have lost just one game against a side in the bottom half of the league table so far this season (against Norwich in October).
Theo Walcott is set to make his 200th league appearance in English football (including 21 games for Southampton).
No Premier League player has had as many shots as Aaron Ramsey (39) without scoring this season.

this is the best link i could find so far.....

so predictions people??
think this is by no means an easy game...qpr are gone and will have no worries going into this and fully expecting good ol redknapp to tell them to park a bus..he would love it no end if we did not qualify for europe..

just to add the spurs game is on that link before our game....worth a watch...

Perfect start, need to put the game out of QPR's reach.

need another goal...


best of things we can look forward to is hopefully man u do us a favour as well

why do we look like the team with nothing to play for...?

hahaha..thats because bar 4th spot we have nothing lol....

that was hell of a hit!!

But 4th spot is very important for us, it's not as though if we don't make it we can just brush it off with a meh. It could determine what we do this summer in the transfer market and I'd really like us to get some players in who would take some initiative to try and make something happen, we look content just passing the ball around their box at the moment, no one's creating anything and no one's taking shots.

this is getting dodgy.....

oh i agree we simply put have to be in the top 4....i can see us putting together some good deals in the summer
next season should be a good hunt for a title or cup...

come on get a second and settle this

Like that we're having some pops at goal now, Green's spilled a few, just need someome running onto that.

10+ very nervous minutes for us now :\

great save szez!!!!

Sczcesny's been
great since his return, musy day.

come on ox cause some agro....

3 mins to go

ground out the 3 points we needed...nothing more to really be happy with...poor game but sometimes its these that define champions as the press so enjoy saying....

we might not be champions but its 3 to us and things looking a little more secure of the top 4 slot....

3 valuable points!

We are really missing Giroud :\

3 points, fuck yeah, shitty attacking performance though, been like that for a while now, we're struggling for goals. but who cares back to 3rd we go for now.

indeed 3rd place and hopefully stay that way come 6pm tomorrow...

Just need utd to show up tomorrow, and a draw for spurs v chelsea.

I don't like these nervous endings to our seasons!

i can see man u giving chelsea a lesson...same idea as today united have nothing to play for apart from doing chelsea out of a champions league spot...

I'd love it if Chelsea didn't make a top 4 spot (more than I'd love it if Spurs didn't make a top 4). The fact that they one the CL last year, became the first team to win then not advance past the group stages the following year, then to not even be in it the next? That would be amazing.
