Rumours growing Neil Warnock has left Queens Park Rangers. #QPR

Interesting!

It's been done! Statement at 7:30!

Any rumours on replacement? Or is it really too early for that considering most of the footie pundits probably haven't got the confirmation of the sacking yet?

Azza · 8 Jan 2012 at 18:25

Mark Hughes is very early favourite.

MarcLister · 8 Jan 2012 at 18:26

I suppose Hughesy would be in the frame yes. Especially if Fernandes gives him some transfer window money.

Tom84 · 8 Jan 2012 at 18:27

Didn't see that one coming!

Good move though with Warnock in charge they were destined to go down IMO

It was only this morning that I read on BBC Sport gossip page that the People newspaper was saying that Warnock feared the sack after QPR's poor form in recent games. Is he psychic?!

Downing's supposed to have been arrested last night for allegedly hitting his ex. Given what's gone on, I wouldn't be suprised if she was black

On the subject:

Liverpool statement on Downing's arrest: "Stewart would never hit a woman. His mother is a woman." #JusticeForDowning

He's been hitting women all season, and men, and children, with his wayward crosses flying into the kop.

In Middlesborough assaulting women is a sign of endearment.

Maybe she was standing in front of the bloke he was aiming for?

Purdy · 8 Jan 2012 at 19:09

After this weekend, Stewart Downing's girlfriend will have to dress up as a full back to prevent her from being beaten again.

Stewart Downing assisting the Police with there investigation." That's his first assist of the Season.

There's got to be a joke in there about him and Carroll copying each other in an attempt to strike up a better understanding on the pitch.

Shamikebab · 8 Jan 2012 at 19:17

I thought there was a joke about Andy Carroll and his ponytail somewhere.

Weebull · 8 Jan 2012 at 19:49

He's probably just frustrated about his inability to get it in the box.

Tim Howard ' it was the wind that helped my shot go in'

Manchester city have put £80 million bid in for the wind and hope to tie this deal up in the January Window

Shamikebab · 8 Jan 2012 at 19:57

Damnit Fergie, we need to buy the wind, I'm fed up of this inaction. Now wait for Fergie to call own goal out of retirement instead :rolleyes:

kaiowas · 8 Jan 2012 at 20:12

With comebacks being the in thing (Henry, Scholes) and our lack of goals I'm waiting for the announcement of Ian Rush's comeback.

Tummy · 8 Jan 2012 at 20:14

I'd still pick Chris Waddle.
