It has indeed.

Lovely day this Brentford win, Man Utd get done over for once and Wigan won a game!

They're actually level with Fulham for the lowest amount of goals scored at home this season.

...Fulham have scored 11 at home this season. Six of them against QPR. Lol

EDIT: Fact is, they have a balls defensive record, and it's amazing they're mid-table. The quality is there up front, but they need to bolster the back, and maybe add a creative mid since Taarabt looks resigned to leaving.

Has been a good day so far, only downside is Spurs beating Brom. Now just need Arsenal to round it off by beating Fulham, which there is no excuse for not doing.

Great that Wigan won though, particularly as it was at the expense of Steve Bruce.

Fulham not a real club btw not QPR.

Anyway not sure they have 'quality' up front. Got some good players in midfield but Helguson is not quality just works hard and is in good form, Bothryod is not premiership standard, I love DJ but he is injured and only just about premiership class.

They are mid-table thanks to a couple of ridiculously fluky wins and a couple of decent performances, think they will stay up but not convincingly.

Djourou starting. "Let there be lolz."

Arshavin over Gervinho. Ooh.

Very, very attacking line up from Fulham. Should be a cracker.

I think that's very harsh on QPR.

That's their style. They ground out plenty of wins in the Championship last season, and they've done it this season too (Everton, Chelsea).

You're entitled to your opinion, but I think the talent is there up front, particularly when only one of the four are regularly starting. They're not Top 6 standard by any means, but it's enough to win games. Their defense however, is just abysmal. Only Blackburn and Bolton have conceded more frbs! Danny "Always in Doubt" Gabbidon is so, so shocking.

They should make some solid purchases in January, and I expect a comfortable stay at the top.

The result against Chelsea was not ground out, it was down to complete luck and David Luiz being rubbish that they avoided being thrashed. I don't think I have seen a team at any level play as poorly, relatively speaking, and come away with a victory.

There is grounding out results and then there is being stupidly lucky.

None of those strikers are long term options for a Premiership side as far as I am concerned, would have though they would be after another striker in January and at least another defender (been linked to Bassong)

They have the money so expect them to stay up but it not a sure thing.

It was possibly the worst victory I've ever seen. They were outplayed at home by nine men.

I do think they have a bit of quality going forward though. On paper there's not much there but they attack with a lot of pace and pass the ball well. Quite like Blackpool last season.

Yep Chelsea could have scored 4 if their finishing was decent with 9 men, QPR are shockingly ordinary, going down.

These forwards may be p-acy and direct, but their technical ability is pish. Not prem class.

And he says stick that performance up your ass. Was solid as anything tonight.

Haha, Marcuss. Possibly the least classy guy around. NEVER CHANGE. However, it was a solid performance indeed.

Also, you just drew against Fulham. At home.

Clearly then, you haven't seen much QPR. Often with a one or two goal lead, Warnock'll have them sit ridiculously deep and just clear it away. I'm not saying I agree with the tactic, but it works for them, and it can't be lucky if it helps to earn you promotion to the BPL and gets you several away wins when you're in it.

Out of interest, how much BPL is televised in England? I get the feeling a lot of the time that people haven't watched full games.
