Re: PREVIEW: Clarets in search of title winning victory against QPR

I wonder if Vincent Kompany is thinking back to 2011 when he and Manchester city, had their first Premier league title win, against a relegation threatened QPR. So who will get the "AGUEROOOOOO" moment for the Clarets tomorrow? That was the game where Joey Barton received 2 quickfire yellows if I r...

If Vinny does go he'll go with my best wishes, however he'd be a gamble for either Chelsea or Spurs given he's yet to manage a PL game. Yes he's done extremely well in his 1st season in English football, but he is still learning his trade let's not forget. On paper both the London giants are definit...
