Saturday 24th November 15: Manchester United v QPR – Verdict: Manchester United 1/5
QPR are 16/1 to win this fixture, which are the same odds as a Jon Obi Mikel goal against Manchester City – and he hasn’t scored in five years.
At the time of writing Mark Hughes is amazingly still behind the wheel at QPR, with the expression of a child whose bumper car has stopped working. He seems forever stuck in the moment before choosing to either cry or throw an incredible tantrum; without having lived up to either for the last six or seven weeks he’s beginning to become increasingly boring – which is a lot to say about a man who has the bonhomie of a character from The Bill. One whose name you’d forget. DCI Whatshisname.
Tony Fernandes made a short-sighted comment about needing ‘the right team’ in his defence of Hughes, which won’t have inspired the squad in the run-up to what can only be considered an expected thumping.
This weekend’s fixture list is possibly the hardest one to call at face value this season – you’d be better off ringing the spinning quiz wheel on the telly at three in morning if you’re expecting to win big – but you can just about count on this one being a home win.
