Flashback 1 Years Ago - January 28, 2012 QPR Official Site
QPR bowed out of the FA Cup at the fourth round stage after a slender 1-0 defeat against West London rivals Chelsea. In the 50th competitive meeting between the two sides, this tight encounter was ultimately decided by a disputed penalty. Juan Mata's cross eventually led to a coming together between Clint Hill and Daniel Sturridge, before the Chelsea man fell to the ground under minimal contact. Referee Mr Dean pointed to the spot before Mata struck what proved to be the winner, tucking the ball into the bottom right-hand corner from 12 yards on 62 minutes. Rangers made just one change the starting XI which brushed aside Wigan in the Barclays Premier League last weekend, with Tommy Smith replacing the injured DJ Campbell (hamstring). Nedum Onuoha, meanwhile, was named on the bench, following the centre-back's switch from Manchester City in midweek. Paddy Kenny was in goal for QPR, who lined up in a 4-4-2 formation. Luke Young, Anton Ferdinand, Fitz Hall and Clint Hill made up Rangers' defence. In midfield, skipper Joey Barton partnered Akos Buzsaky in the middle of the park, with Jamie Mackie and Shaun Wright-Phillips manning the flanks. Smith joined Heidar Helguson in attack. The opening stanza was one of very few opportunities of note - that in the midst of a rip-roaring atmosphere at Loftus Road. Daniel Sturridge's wayward shot from distance was the only effort to note inside the first ten minutes. The first real chance of the contest arrived on 12 minutes. Mata burst into the R's box before seeing his left-footed drive blocked away by Kenny. QPR's opening opportunity arrived two minutes later, with Barton lashing an effort wide on the half-volley from the edge of the box. The first half never really got going, in truth, with both sides refusing to give an inch. The next opportunity didn't arrive until the 34rd minute - Raul Meireles seeing his blast from 25 yards go only inches past the upright. Rangers broke through Smith just two minutes later, with the forward feeding Wright-Phillips before the former Blues ace blazed an effort well wide of the target from 25-yards out. Chelsea went close five minutes before the break. Mata's clever back heel found Ramires on the right-hand side of the box, whose drive across the face of goal somehow flashed wide of the far post. In a bid to freshen things up at the interval, Hughes introduced Federico Macheda in place of Helguson. It was the visitors, however, who were first to go close. Fernando Torres teased both Hill and Ferdinand down the right before teeing up Sturridge just inside the penalty area, whose thunderbolt shot whistled just over the bar. The Blues were enjoying a large chunk of possession following the half-time break. David Luiz soon fashioned another chance for Andre Villas-Boas' side, with his effort from distance bouncing wide of the left-hand post. But the longer the second period wore on, the more Rangers could sense an opening. That chance arrived on 60 minutes and, with a little more luck, could have led to the opening goal. Wright-Phillips broke free of Ashley Cole in the box and, when the diminutive winger's subsequent low drive was only parried by Petr Cech, the ball just evaded the waiting Mackie on 12 yards, before Chelsea cleared their lines. Controversy struck under a minute later when the Blues were awarded a penalty - a decision that was to prove crucial. Mata's centre into the box led to a coming together between Hill and Sturridge, before the latter fell to the ground under minimal contact. Referee Mr Dean deemed that to be an unfair challenge, duly pointing to the spot. Mata - architect of the cross that led to the spot-kick - stepped up to take the resultant penalty and made no mistake, sending Kenny the wrong way by sliding the ball into the bottom right-hand corner. Rangers huffed and puffed for an equaliser - something that looked increasingly unlikely until deep into seven minutes of time added on. Young broke free of his marker down the right and, when his cross-come-shot was only spilled by Cech back into a crowed penalty area, Chelsea just managed to avert the danger. QPR: Kenny, Hill, Hall, Mackie, Buzsaky (Hulse 79), Barton, Young, Smith, Helguson (Macheda 46), Wright-Phillips, Ferdinand. Subs: Cerny, Orr, Derry, Ephraim, Onuoha. Bookings: Wright-Phillips (29), Hall (47) Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cole, Luiz, Ramires (Romeu 79), Torres, Mata (Essien 90), Malouda, Meireles, Sturridge, Terry.

Chelsea Official Site MATCH REPORT: QUEENS PARK RANGERS 0 CHELSEA 1 Posted on: Sat 28 Jan 2012 Summary A Juan Mata penalty an hour into the game settled Saturday lunchtime's fourth round FA Cup tie. It was an unremarkable derby but unlike the league defeat here in October, the Chelsea team maintained our discipline in defence and in the tackle to limit the home side's threat. Our chances were limited but Daniel Sturridge could have been awarded a second-half penalty before referee Mike Dean did give the decisive but disputed spot-kick for a shove on the same striker. The bad news to come from Loftus Road was an injury to Ramires that resulted in the Brazilian being carried off on a stretcher, clearly in pain. Best moment Knockout cup football is all the result so the highlight of the early afternoon in west London was Mata demonstrating he can be added to our list of penalty takers. It was his first goal since the third round against Portsmouth. Team news Branislav Ivanovic returned at right-back for his first game since the away match at Spurs before Christmas. Jose Bosingwa made way. Florent Malouda was chosen as injured Frank Lampard's replacement in midfield. Gary Cahill was on the bench for the first time. QPR were unchanged. New signing Nedum Onuoha was on their bench. First half John Terry and Ashley Cole both won tackles within the first minute inside an initially noisy Loftus Road stadium although the home fans surprisingly failed to fill all their seats. Three thousand Chelsea fans packed the away end. The pre-match handshakes between the teams were suspended for this game. As Chelsea pushed forward, Cole laid a nicely weighted pass into the path of Malouda but the cross that followed was too high for Torres. On eight minutes, Sturridge thumped a shot from 30 yards out but his radar was all askew. He did better soon after with a crossfield ball to Mata that switched play well but the first chance Mata had for a shot came thanks to an 11th minute slip by Rangers right-back Luke Young. The Spaniard's well-struck effort bounced off the keeper but Ramires could only force a corner with the rebound. It had been a high-profile build up to the game but it was a low-key first 45 minutes. Chelsea continued to look the team most likely. Terry and Cole did well to earn a corner which the Chelsea skipper headed on but David Luiz's ambitious over-head kick cleared the bar. QPR were making mistakes but Chelsea were lacking the accuracy in our passing to make the most of them. When the home side tried to push forward it was mostly down their left but Ivanovic was coping well with Wright-Phillips. The former Chelsea man was booked on 28 minutes for a late tackle on Meireles. Five minutes later Torres showed good control in the area and crossed but when it was cleared, Meireles kept the ball airborne with one touch and then volleyed wide with a second. Meireles, not for the first time in the game, then lost the ball in the Chelsea half but Wright-Phillips's shot was wayward. The Chelsea fans behind that goal let him know by way of song that it was the type of attempt from the winger they had witnessed before. One of the best moves of the half came via a Mata backheel and a Ramires burst beyond the closest defender but the Brazilian's cross flew across the face of goal at pace. Chelsea were favouring the long diagonal ball forward but when such a combination between David Luiz and Mata gave Malouda a shooting chance, he dragged his effort tamely wide. Second half QPR made a switch up front for the restart due to injury, Federico Macheda replacing Heidar Helguson and it was a change that did not improve the home side's penetration. Their centre-back Fitz Hall was booked two minutes in for a handball as he battled with Torres. Chelsea were playing with a better intensity and tempo than the first half and were camped inside the Rangers half. Torres with quick feet supplied Sturridge for a rocket of a shot that missed the target by not much more than a foot. On 57 minutes, Ramires left two Rangers midfielders in his wake but rather than playing a pass centrally for Torres, opted to delay and move it out to Sturridge on the right. He ran to the byline and appeared to be tripped just as the ball went out for a corner. There were appeals from Chelsea but no penalty given. Three minutes later referee Mike Dean did point to the spot. Mata had chipped a ball into the area and Sturridge facing goal was pushed in the back by Clint Hill. The Rangers player was incensed when a penalty was awarded but of two debatable decisions in quick succession, one had gone their way and one hadn't. There were also similarities with the penalty awarded against David Luiz that decided the previous game between these sides. In the absence of Drogba and Lampard, it fell to Mata to take the penalty which he did well with a low drive. Chelsea's first player booked was Cole, for a foul on Wright-Phillips just inside the Chelsea half and as the free-kick was played in, Cech punched clear. There was a follow-up shot blocked and a scramble in which Ramires suffered the injury that ended his game. He was carried off with legs immobilised. With 78 minutes played, Romeu rather than Essien was the player to come on. The shape changed to 4-2-3-1 with Mata now more central. The home team pushed forward in the closing stages, as they had to, but although Chelsea conceded a few free-kicks in our half, an equaliser never looked a realistic possibility. Romeu was booked in the final moments for a sliding foul on Smith before with seconds to go, Cech made a sprawling save from Young's shot. Thankfully the ball came out to Wright-Phillips who skied his shot. At the final whistle the entire Chelsea team went down to the away end and applauded the backing they had received from our fans.We will discover our fifth round opponents when the draw is made on Sunday afternoon at approx. 3.40pm. www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2591748,00.html

TELEGRAPH Queens Park Rangers 0 Chelsea 1: match report Read a full match report of the FA Cup fourth round game between Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea at Loftus Road on Saturday Jan 28 2012. Centre of attention: Chelsea captain John Terry was able to celebrate FA Cup victory over Anton Ferdinand's QPR at Loftus Road 2:00PM GMT 28 Jan 2012Comment Juan Mata's hotly-disputed penalty helped Chelsea secure victory in a tempestuous FA Cup fourth-round tie at west London rivals QPR today. A match that for an hour was completely devoid of the kind of flashpoints that marred October's Barclays Premier League meeting suddenly had one when Clint Hill was harshly adjudged to have bundled over Daniel Sturridge. Mata stepped up to score the only goal of a game dominated by the reunion between Chelsea captain John Terry and Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand, neither of whom put a foot wrong following what had been the most combustible of build-ups. The match itself was always going to struggle to live up to the drama that preceded it, which culminated in full body searches for fans entering the ground and the cancellation of the traditional pre-match handshake. The former was prompted after police last night confirmed they were investigating allegations Ferdinand had received "malicious communication", although they refused to reveal whether it contained a bullet. Ferdinand wants handshake advice 25 Jan 2012 Ferdinand and Terry were spared having to shake hands with each other after the Football Association agreed the clubs did not have to undertake the traditional pre-match ritual. Ferdinand had reportedly been agonising over whether to accept Terry's hand four days before the court case begins in which the Chelsea and England captain stands accused of racially abusing his fellow defender. Terry denies the charge, which relates to an altercation between the pair in October's league clash at Loftus Road. But that did not prevent him being jeered every time he touched the ball today, while he was also the victim of numerous abusive taunts. Chelsea fans refrained from using the notorious "Anton Ferdinand, you know what you are" chant that they were warned would see them punished, although they did sing "Anton, what's the score?" after the visitors took the lead. Both sets of supporters cranked up the decibel level before kick-off but had little to cheer in a disappointing first half that saw only one shot on target. That came after Mata, playing more centrally in the absence of Frank Lampard, pounced on a Luke Young slip in the 12th minute and unleashed a 15-yard drive too close to Paddy Kenny. Otherwise, the final ball from both sides was sadly lacking, meaning a succession of speculative efforts that were well off target. A fixture that had seen Chelsea reduced to nine men in October was also a more controlled affair and it was almost half an hour before Mike Dean brandished the first yellow card for a Shaun Wright-Phillips foul on Raul Meireles. Ramires should have done better with great cutback opportunity after being released by a wonderful Mata back-heel but neither side deserved to be ahead at half-time. QPR threw on Federico Macheda for Heidar Helguson at the restart but it was Chelsea who flew out of the blocks, with Fitz Hall booked for handball before Sturridge lashed over after great work from Fernando Torres. But the game really exploded into life on the hour mark. Petr Cech parried a Wright-Phillips cross just too far in front of the outstretched foot of Jamie Mackie and Chelsea surged down the other end and won a penalty. QPR were furious at the award but Mata shrugged off the jeers to score, the midfielder celebrating with most of his team-mates in front of the visiting fans. Terry was a notable absentee. Ashley Cole was carded for fouling Wright-Phillips before Chelsea lost Ramires to a serious-looking injury. The midfielder appeared to twist his ankle blocking a shot and – after several minutes' treatment – was carried off on a stretcher to be replaced by Oriol Romeu. QPR had already thrown on Rob Hulse, who was denied a penalty in the dying minutes. And there was a flashpoint deep into stoppage-time when Romeu was booked for diving in on Hulse, with Young almost snatching a draw when his 20-yard drive was parried by Cech. www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/fa-cup/9043981/Queens-Park-Rangers-0-Chelsea-1-match-report.html?

HUGHES: NOT A PENALTYPosted on: Sat 28 Jan 2012 Mark Hughes believes QPR were unfortunate to concede what proved to be a match-deciding penalty as Chelsea edged through to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory at Loftus Road. Referee Mike Dean awarded the spot-kick on 62 minutes, adjudging Clint Hill to have felled Daniel Sturridge at the far post. "It wasn't a penalty, not at all," Hughes said after the final whistle. "I think if Mike Dean looks at the incident again he'll see Daniel Sturridge has gone down very easily. "He (Sturridge) knows in those circumstances he isn't going to win the header so he's looking for something in the box. "Unfortunately the referee has seen that as a foul and we have paid the consequences of conceding the penalty. "The referee will be disappointed with the decision because there is no way that it is a penalty. "We are disappointed obviously and I felt that decision came during our best period when we were looking to affect the game in an attacking sense. "That really took the wind out of our sails. It is disappointing but I am really proud of the effort the lads put in today."
Despite his understandable frustration, Hughes was able to take a number of positives from what was a tight affair against Andre Villas Boas's side. "We have worked exceptionally hard today," said the R's boss. "We had good shape, good discipline, we understood what we needed to do. "In key moments we needed to retain possession a little bit better than we did today but obviously we are playing an accomplished side in Chelsea. "But in terms of our discipline and shape I thought we were excellent." In the lead up to the game, the focus of many was on the expected handshakes between the two teams.
However, both QPR and Chelsea - in consultation with the FA - took the decision to drop the normal pre-match protocol.And Hughes explained: "It got to the point where everybody was talking about the handshake when they should have been talking about a football match to be perfectly honest. "It was ridiculous. So we decided to take it out of the equation and that was exactly the right thing to do." Now QPR head into a crucial Premier League fixture at Aston Villa on Wednesday evening, and Hughes is looking ahead with confidence. "We have got players to come in," he said. "We've got Nedum Onuoha and Taye Taiwo who we have added to the squad and hopefully we can bring a couple more in which will help us."What I have been really pleased with is the effort and the aptitude of the players. "They work exceptionally hard for each other and I can't emphasise that too much. If I have that in the group I'm happy because I know I have got something to work with." www.qpr.co.uk/page/TheGaffer/0,,10373~2591797,00.html

REACTION: BETTER AFTER THE BREAKPosted on: Sat 28 Jan 2012 Andre Villas-Boas praised the team's discipline and was impressed by improvement shown after half-time in our FA Cup victory at QPR on Saturday. Pre-match talk was dominated by the on-going John Terry and Anton Ferdinand saga, and this early kick-off did little to switch the focus back to football with neither side creating many goalscoring chances in an unremarkable and unmemorable encounter. The goal this afternoon came from the penalty spot, Juan Mata finding the bottom corner after Daniel Sturridge had been nudged to the ground by Rangers defender Clint Hill in the second half. That we then went on to keep a clean sheet, with David Luiz and Terry exemplary, will also be food for thought with new signing Gary Cahill waiting on the bench. 'I think the excellent positive today was our change from the first half to the second,' the 34-year-old highlighted. 'We looked dominant for the whole game but in the first half we looked one-paced, slow in our possession, still creating danger but maybe with less incisiveness than in the second half and in the second half we were better and improved as a team. 'Because of that amount of attack we created in the second half we eventually got the penalty. It was a good solid display . QPR are difficult on the counter and create problems, mainly from our mistakes, but we move on with a good 1-0 and go through.'The manager reserved praise for his defensive players, and in particular the captain who dealt admirably with a barrage of abuse from the home support. 'It was a good solid display defensively,' he said. 'To be fair this January we have shown we have organised ourselves a little better in defence, not conceding so many goals, and it is repaying us. We look more organised and solid and when we scored we managed to hang on to the match. 'Individually John had an excellent performance and was very focused, he managed to get the off-field events out of his mind and concentrate fully on his job. 'There was a tendency from the players to focus only on the game. To be fair the QPR players were also outstanding on that commitment. Emotions were kept low and both teams set out to play football and it worked as a spectacle.' Villas-Boas felt the decision of referee Mike Dean to award us the penalty was justified, and pointed to the one given against us in October as justification.'They reacted angrily of course, not satisfied with the penalty,' he said. 'Mike has given it and if you guys can recall it is very similar to the David Luiz and Helguson here, and nobody seemed to criticise anything, instead pointing the finger at David Luiz for his mistake.' QPR boss Mark Hughes felt otherwise.
'I am pleased with the effort and performance but disappointed with the penalty which I thought was very harsh,' said the Welshman. 'I think he said to Paddy Kenny that he had to give the penalty because the lad was going to head the ball in. I felt Daniel Sturridge went down a bit easily. It was one of our better periods in the game, where Cech made a good save.'
Hughes conceded QPR had not done enough to win but felt they were good for a replay.'We're disappointed because we worked exceptionally hard today. In fairness we weren't able to retain possession higher up the field after defending so well, where our discipline was excellent,' the former Chelsea striker said. 'Along with that if you're working exceptionally hard you have to go the other way and we weren't able to do that as much as I would have liked, but we lost a number of players through injury during the week and Heidar Helguson had to come off at half-time.'We didn't do enough to win but easily could have got a draw out of the game.' Villas-Boas put out the strongest team available to him, but lost Ramires with what looks to be medial ligament damage in the second half. 'I think the team that we showed today was the team that has been competing extremely well in training. Everyone has been up a level on the winter trip [to Mallorca], and we had to make a decision for the starting 11 - it was strong,' the Portuguese said. 'Normally in cup competitions we see slight changes to the starting 11, not that I haven't done it in the past but bearing in mind our position in the league and the history and prestige of this trophy it sends a good sign for our commitment to the trophy and the people in our team competing for a place. It is still a competition for the players and today we set up with the best possible team. '[Ramires] looks like a medial ligament injury, not so bad in terms of knee injuries. He will have an MRI tomorrow and we will know the full extent. Hopefully he will avoid an operation and be back soon. We could look at four weeks, but we have to know the extent of the injury to give a good assessment.' It is possible Frank Lampard could return for Tuesday's Barclays Premier League game at Swansea. 'Frank we have to see how he comes back for training, he is still a doubt, a 50 percent chance, and Mikel shouldn't make it. 'We are within a five-point margin from the third-placed team and five points more than Arsenal in fifth. It's important to try and reach the top and go to Swansea fully motivated. They lost to Sunderland but are on a good run, plus they are one of the teams that play fantastic football. It should build up to an exciting game, and it's important for us to show consistency in the away games but do better than Norwich.' Both managers discussed the decision, made jointly between Chelsea, QPR and the FA not to stage a pre-game handshake, given the attention that had been building. 'I think it was a wise decision bearing in mind the expectancy aroused from the fact a couple of events could happen in that handshake,' Villas-Boas said. 'Bearing that in mind it was wise not to do it because it could impact crowd behaviour straight after. Everything was clear and both teams got on. It was sensible.' Hughes added: 'I thought it was the correct decision. There was so much attention shown to such a brief moment it was clouding the issue, which today was surely the FA Cup tie. It was exactly the right thing to do. There were discussions yesterday, and we had a meeting last night and we gave our view on what should happen. We all came to the same decision. 'In the end it was about taking it out of the equation. I have a bit of history to do with handshakes myself and if they're not done with integrity why do it at all? They're an irritation and I don't know where they've come from. People think it is vitally important teams do this, I thought there was nothing wrong with the old days where you just run out and play a game of football.' Finally, Villas-Boas had praise for the travelling Chelsea support. 'It was positive. We got more ticket allocation than the league game and filled out the stand,' he said. 'We had good support throughout the game, important for us. It is the environment we want to transfer to Stamford Bridge, which is much more anxious. Away it is more supportive and helps the players feel better.' www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2591806,00.html

Penalty decision angers QPR boss
Hughes believes QPR have a bright future.QPR manager Mark Hughes insisted referee Mike Dean was wrong to award the penalty which led to Chelsea’s winner in the FA Cup clash at Loftus Road. Dean pointed to the spot after Daniel Sturridge went down under a challenge from Clint Hill, who angrily argued that the Blues forward had dived. Hill protested bitterly after a penalty was awarded against him. Juan Mata made no mistake from 12 yards, sending his team into the fifth round and leaving Hughes furious. “I think it was very harsh and Mike Dean will be disappointed when he sees the decision he’s made,†said Hughes. “He told Paddy Kenny he had to give a penalty because he thought Sturridge would have scored with the header. I think he [Sturridge] went down a bit too easily. “It’s disappointing for us because the goal came during one of our better periods in the game.†Hughes praised Anton Ferdinand, who produced a solid performance despite the furore surrounding the R’s defender and John Terry. “I think Anton has conducted himself really well, not just this week but over a number of weeks,†he said. “The focus was on him, and for him to play as well as he did means he comes away with a lot of credit.†Hughes added: “We’re disappointed, because we worked hard in terms of discipline and defensive shape but weren’t able to retain possession higher up the field after defending so well. “If you’re working extremely hard you still need to be able to go the other way and affect the game. Unfortunately we didn’t do that as well as I’d have liked. “It was understandable, because we lost players during the week and during the game. “Heidar Helguson had to come off at half-time and Akos Buzsaky, who hasn’t trained all week, looked leggy towards the end.†And Hughes revealed th at Helguson, who has been nursing an ongoing groin problem, is “very unlikely†to play against Aston Villa in midweekwww.westlondonsport.com/qpr/penalty-decision-angers-qpr-boss/.

Mata’s penalty gives Blues derby victory
Mata played a key role in Chelsea's first-half winner.Juan Mata’s penalty settled the west London grudge match and sent Chelsea into the FA Cup fifth round. The Spaniard showed great composure to score after Daniel Sturridge had gone down under a challenge from Clint Hill. Terry played well after a nervous start. But his team’s victory was somewhat marred by an injury to Ramires, who was stretchered off 12 minutes from time after falling awkwardly. The spotlight was inevitably on Anton Ferdinand and John Terry given the furore surrounding the pair since the latter was accused of racially abusing the QPR centre-back when these teams met three month ago. After much speculation about whether Ferdinand would shake Terry’s hand before kick-off, there were no handshakes at all – as the whole pre-match procedure was scrapped. Back at Loftus Road for the first time since the alleged incident involving Ferdinand, Terry was predictably barracked by the home fans. He looked nervous on the ball in the opening stages, but his team’s display with nine men against Rangers in October suggested the home side had reason to feel anxious. QPR won that controversial clash courtesy of Heidar Helguson’s early penalty but spent much of the game chasing shadows despite the first-half dismissals of Jose Bosingwa and Didier Drogba. That gave an indication of the gulf in class between these two neighbours and it was evident again for much of this encounter. But for all Chelsea’s neat approach play, it took a hotly disputed penalty on the hour-mark for them to break the deadlock. Referee Mike Dean pointed to the spot despite Hill’s furious insistence that Sturridge dived, and Mata coolly netted his eighth goal of the season. It came barely a minute after QPR had almost scored against the run of play. Shaun Wright-Phillips’ shot was parried by keeper Petr Cech towards an unmarked Jamie Mackie, who was unable to react quickly enough to make contact. Nevertheless, Chelsea’s breakthrough was a deserved one as they had been well on top. They dominated most of the first half and Mata brought a save from Paddy Kenny after a slip by R’s defender Luke Young. And early in the second period, Fernando Torres cleverly turned away from Ferdinand and Hill to tee up Sturridge, who blazed over. After Mata picked his spot, sending Kenny the wrong way, Rangers rarely looked like finding an equaliser – although Cech produced an injury-time save to deny Young. And the loss of Ramires robbed Chelsea of the game’s most impressive player. As sweet as this victory will taste for the Blues, the prospect of a long spell without the Brazilian midfielder will cause them real concern. www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/matas-penalty-gives-blues-derby-victory/

QPR point fingers at Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge over decisive penalty
Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge goes down under a challenge by QPR's Clint Hill, leading to the decisive penalty. Photograph: Darren Walsh/Chelsea FC via Getty ImagesAfter the phantom handshake, this FA Cup tie barely lit up and had only one potential powder-keg moment, which was happily a good old-fashioned football incident: the disputed Juan Mata penalty that won the game. The Football Association had called off the pre-match handshake between the sides after learning Queens Park Rangers would unilaterally ignore the convention in solidarity with Anton Ferdinand. This meant that the only shake from the players was between Joey Barton and John Terry at the coin toss – the matter an issue due to the Chelsea captain's court appearance on Wednesday to answer the charge that he racially abused Ferdinand earlier in the season, which he denies. On an incessantly sour and hostile afternoon, it was Daniel Sturridge who caused the sole true moment of on-field acrimony. When he went down close to Clint Hill in the area from a Mata cross just after the hour Mike Dean pointed to the spot. But the left-back's furious volley at Sturridge plus subsequent replays suggested that the forward had fashioned a swallow dive and, as Barton continued to debate the matter with the forward, Mata stepped up to slot home. "Cheat! Cheat!" was the livid cry from the home congregation, the latest choral offering in a tie that was peppered with the obscene chants and boos that can form the alternative soundtrack to Terry's fine football career. Luke Young had made the first mistake of many in QPR's mediocre showing when a cleared Barton free-kick came back to him and his attempted return of the ball to the Chelsea area found only Fernando Torres. The striker instantly passed to Mata and though this was short Young compounded his initial error by sliding and failing to clear the danger. This allowed the Spaniard to zoom at Paddy Kenny's goal before he let fly a shot that the keeper parried well. QPR's attack strategy had been to punt and hope and against Chelsea's band of classy operators this proved futile. The right result, then, but a questionable route to it. But with little off-field incident apparently occurring perhaps Ferdinand, Terry and company can now move on. At the close the players did embrace and Ferdinand did a mini-lap to clap his support. www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jan/28/qpr-chelsea-fa-cup

Paul Warburton/Fulham Chronicle -
Injury woe for QPR strikerHEIDAR Helguson has been ruled out of QPR's Premier League clash at Aston Villa on Wednesday. The Rs striker a ggravated a groin strain during the 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup this afternoon, and was forced to come off at half time. The 34-year-old was a doubt before the game, but was named in the starting line-up after passing a fitness test only to sit out the second half with Federico Macheda taking his place up front. Boss Mark Hughes admitted Helguson's (pic) situation was far from promising. "We'be been trying to manage it all season to be fair, and it flared up again during the game," he said. "At this stage, it's got to be very doubtful he will be fit for Wednesday." e www.fulhamchronicle.co.uk/london-sport/london-qpr/2012/01/28/injury-woe-for-qpr-striker-82029-30218393/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter#ixzz1klgi7jzYDave McIntyre/West London Sport
Chelsea optimistic over Ramires injury AVB is keen to sign Cahill.Chelsea are optimistic a knee injury suffered by Ramires during their FA Cup victory at QPR will not prove to be serious. The Brazilian midfielder was stretchered off at Loftus Road with 12 minutes of the match remaining and will undergo a scan on Sunday. But manager Andre Villas-Boas believes Ramires will avoid a long spell on the sidelines, despite the player being in obvious distress as he was carried from the field. “It looks like medial ligament damage, so not so bad in terms of knee injuries,†said Villas-Boas. “He will have an MRI scan tomorrow and then we’ll know the full extent of it. Hopefully he will be back soon.†www.westlondonsport.com/chelsea/chelsea-optimistic-over-ramires-injury/

GUARDIAN/DOMINIC FIFIELDJohn Terry and Anton Ferdinand did not shake but neither did the earth
John Terry and Anton Ferdinand had quiet games in their first meeting of Chelsea and QPR since the allegations emergedIn the end there was no handshake on offer and none to be accepted. There was no pre-match lineup at which opposing centre-halves could eyeball each other, and no penalty area wrestling or even skull-juddering aerial challenges as the pair went head to head. In fact, there was barely any contact at all between Anton Ferdinand and John Terry. Rivals caught up in the depressing fallout from October's derby merely busied themselves in their own lonely duties as the storm raged all around them at Loftus Road. This had felt like an incendiary occasion. Collisions between these clubs are traditionally spiky but the legacy of their last meeting, on 23 October, had inflamed the build-up to this rematch. Terry's legal counsel will deliver a plea of not guilty at West London magistrates court on Wednesday, when the England captain faces a charge of committing a racially aggravated public order offence in an altercation with Ferdinand during the hosts' 1-0 win here three months ago. The QPR defender has endured death threats since, with a package containing a letter and a spent cartridge sent to Loftus Road for his attention 24 hours before this contest. That was a dismal backdrop to which this fixture was played. Football felt like an afterthought, an irrelevance while insanity set in all around. That both Ferdinand and Terry, who has consistently and vehemently denied directing the comments at his opposite number, offered such cool, calm professionalism in the face of provocation was admirable. This was a scruffy, unappealing game but both defenders emerged with credit for maintaining their focus. André Villas‑Boas described Terry as "excellent"; Mark Hughes his own centre-back as "tremendous". There was relief to be had that neither needed to collide in direct confrontation. The decision to abandon the pre‑match handshake felt sensible, even if it effectively meant the Football Association suspending their Respect campaign in an effort to maintain some level of respect. As childish as the whole formality can appear, it had felt an unnecessary distraction here. Talks had been held at each club over the preceding 24 hours, and with the FA, once it became clear Ferdinand was not inclined to accept Terry's hand and that QPR's players were anxious to deliver a show of solidarity with their team-mate. Had the hosts all blanked the visiting captain as players drifted down the line, any sense of acute embarrassment might have been lost amid the fury descending from the stands. The FA confirmed in a statement the desire to "further diffuse [sic] tensions". The lack of a flash point drew sting from the match itself, though that was probably a small price to pay. "It was a question of avoiding a 'trouble' situation," Villas-Boas said. The pantomime had been cancelled. "But why offer handshakes if they're not going to be done with integrity?" Hughes asked, quite legitimately. As it was, the only QPR player to shake hands with Terry publicly was the captain, Joey Barton, who did so at the coin toss and, again, after the final whistle as the players started drifting towards the tunnel. Those were perhaps the most telling moments. Terry had been deep inside his own half when Mike Dean blew for full time and offered no reaction, even as the boos still rang out as he turned to acknowledge his goalkeeper, Petr Cech. While he strode towards the visiting support, Ferdinand was conducting his own circuit of the turf, clapping the three stands occupied by Rangers fans, forever with his back to the visiting captain. There was a brief hug with Daniel Sturridge and an affectionate pat on the head from Hughes as he reached the mouth of the tunnel, and he was gone. "Anton has conducted himself really well," the Rangers manager said. "It was important he went out and faced what he had to, and he's come away with a lot of credit." Hammersmith and Fulham police will continue to investigate the package, complete with a "pellet" according to Hughes. That the worst chants Ferdinand had to endure from some among the 3,114 Chelsea fans were asking him to reveal the score was something but to target him at all is still baffling. For Terry, the abuse was more merciless. The home partisans waited until their side trailed to Juan Mata's penalty, the mood more poisonous after Sturridge's grateful crumple in the area, before resorting to a blunt rendition of "racist, racist, racist". There were unsavoury songs about Terry's mother, his entire family, and constant reminders that "we know what you are" and "we know what you said". The taunts were tribal and ignored the fact that Terry remains innocent until proven guilty, but the England captain would have anticipated them all. He made eye contact with his tormentors only briefly, while Ramires was undergoing treatment, but otherwise stayed in his bubble. The hooked clearance to prevent Tommy Smith scurrying in on goal early on summed up the excellence of his display. That Cech did not have a save to make until the seventh minute of added time said much for Terry's strong-arm resilience. He retired victorious and the authorities will take similar heart that this combustible occasion passed off without major incident. A ball being thrown back at Ashley Cole from the stands felt irrelevant given all the pre‑match concerns. There were no arrests made and will be no replay to recharge the tension. Indeed, these teams will not meet again until 28 April. The hope, however vain, is that Terry's case will have been resolved by then. www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jan/28/john-terry-anton-ferdinand-chelsea-qpr?newsfeed=true

The Observer/Paul Wilson and Jamie Jackson ".... Queens Park Rangers players took a collective decision to back Anton Ferdinand by not shaking hands with their opponents before their Cup tie with Chelsea at Loftus Road, which they lost 1–0. However, the Football Association chose to discard the usual pre-match convention. The issue was a concern due to John Terry being accused of making a racially abusive slur at Ferdinand in October. Terry will answer the charge, which he denies, at West London magistrates' court on Wednesday. Mark Hughes, the QPR manager, said: "It was absolutely the correct decision. There was so much tension hinging on such a brief moment in time, it was clouding the issue: the FA Cup tie. The fact we took it out of the equation was the right thing to do. There were discussions yesterday. We had a meeting as a management and players last night. Chelsea had their views and we all came to the same decision." Pressed if it was because his players may have refused to shake any Chelsea player's hand, he said: "It could well have been an issue. Players have to make their own decision. Anton was the guy who had to make his own decision whether to shake JT's hand. Obviously, with the group I've got, they wanted to support their team-mate as well. So take it out of the equation. Why give handshakes if they're not done with integrity. If they're not right, why do them at all?" Hughes added he would like to see the handshake completely removed from football. "They're an irritation," he said. "I don't know who dreamed it up, or why people think it's vitally important that people do this. Why not do it like in the good old days?" After Ferdinand had received a death threat and bullet in the post on Friday Hughes admitted that before the defender could face Chelsea, QPR sought advice. He said: "We took direction from the police and security. If they'd communicated anything to us, we'd have communicated to Anton. But it was important he went out and faced what he had to, and he's come away with a lot of credit." He was sent a letter with some 'bullet', pellet, in it. We gave it straight to the police and let them deal with it. There was a letter, too. I'm not going to divulge the contents. We were right to be concerned with the contents of the letter. It wasn't nice."Terry faced abusive chants throughout the tie but André Villas-Boas, his manager, was pleased with how he played. "Individually, from John, it was an excellent performance. Very focused. He managed to get the off-the-field events out of his mind and concentrate fully on the game." Regarding the handshake Villas-Boas added: "It was a wise decision given the expectancy around what could happen in the handshake. Bearing that in mind, it was wise not to do it because it could have had an effect on what happened immediately afterwards. I was informed of the decision 45 minutes before the game, maybe 50 minutes." www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jan/28/police-investigate-fan-gesture-anfield?newsfeed=true

INDPENDENT/Glenn Moore
Mata books Chelsea's passage as neighbours refuse to make a fuss Not even a controversial penalty fans the flames as players avoid pre-match handshake and remain on best behaviour in wake of Terry-Ferdinand affairThere was no handshake, and precious little football either, at Loftus Road yesterday as a promising FA Cup tie was suffocated by the controversy surrounding it. So determined were both teams to avoidfurther inflaming the tension provoked by John Terry's alleged use of racist language towards Anton Ferdinand in their last meeting that QPR even accepted with only moderate anger the highly dubious penalty award which settled the match in Chelsea's favour. The spot-kick, converted by Juan Mata on the hour, was given after Daniel Sturridge fell dramatically to the floor after Clint Hill made mild contact with his back. QPR, who beat Chelsea here in thrilling circumstances in October, never looked like levelling and can now return to their relegation battle. For Chelsea, the next items on the agenda are a Premier League match at Swansea on Tuesday, and an appearance at west London magistrates' court for Terry on Wednesday, where he will be formally charged. If Terry is being affected by the affair it is not showing on the pitch. Yesterday he produced an assured performance, albeit rarely put under pressure by a QPR side overly focused on defence. Ferdinand, whose performances after the incidents faltered, also played well, which was all the more creditable given he was sent a bullet in the post last week. "I thought Anton conducted himself really, really well, not only this week but for a number of weeks," said Mark Hughes, the QPR manager. "It was important he faced what he had to face, and I'm pleased for him. He was right to be concerned by the content of the letter. I read it and it wasn't particularly nice." Andre Villas-Boas was equally complimentary about Terry, who was abused throughout by the home support. The Chelsea manager said: "He had an excellent performance, very, very focused. Off-field events were out of his mind and he concentrated on events on the pitch." Only once did the verbal taunts threaten to spill over into something more sinister, a fan throwing the match ball into Ashley Cole's back as Chelsea prepared to take a throw-in. The refer-ee, Mike Dean, intervened, asking the nearest steward to speak to the man involved. There were no arrests, then or elsewhere in the ground, for which both clubs and the FA will be grateful. It may have helped that there was not much to get excited about for the game was dire, especially in a lifeless first half. QPR, despite the small capacity of Loftus Road, failed to sell out this west London derby, and the fans who stayed away made the right decision. Hughes has made great play of the fact he has given his new team greater organisation and yesterday he praised his players' work-rate and defensive discipline. Yet QPR have lost the attacking intent they had under Neil Warnock and only twice exercised Petr Cech. Once was in the seventh minute of injury time, when he parried Luke Young's shot, the other, after 59 minutes, led indirectly to Chelsea's goal. Shaun Wright-Phillips beat Cole on the right and fired in a rasping shot, which Cech parried perilously close to Tommy Smith. It fell instead to Ramires, who run deep into QPR territory. The move broke down but was resuscitated, and Mata crossed towards Sturridge. Hill nudged the striker in the back and he tumbled to the deck with enthusiasm. "It was very harsh," said Hughes. "Mike Dean will be disappointed when he sees the decision he's given. He told Paddy Kenny he had to give it as [Sturridge] was going to head the ball, but that was not my view." Chelsea lost to a similar, if more obvious, penalty in October and Villas-Boas said: "We were treated unfairly then, maybe QPR were treated unfairly [today]." Chelsea fielded a full-strength team and Villas-Boas confirmed afterwards that, with the Premier League title looking out of reach, he was aiming to win the FA Cup. His team produced, as he said, "a good solid display" but lacked panache. Fernando Torres looked to have regressed, Mata only occasionally influenced play and Sturridge continually turned inside, on to his favoured foot but into trouble. Worryingly, Ramires, who did provide energy, departed on a stretcher late on. The QPR fans suspended hostilities and clapped him off. He was diagnosed with medial ligament damage, but Chelsea hope the Brazilian will be back within a month. There was one effort on goal in the opening half and that followed a mistake, Mata testing Kenny with a fierce shot. The second half offered little more, with Chelsea largely happy to knock the ball around the back four and QPR, even after falling behind, usually prepared to let them. With Heidar Helguson suffering a muscle injury, Joey Barton quiet and Akos Buzsaky finding the game rather harder than he had against Wigan last week, QPR lacked firepower. Hughes will doubtless renew his efforts to add to his squad in the closing days of the transfer window. "The disappointment was that we were unable to build on our defensive platform and attack," he said.QPR (4-4-2): Kenny; Young, Hall, Ferdinand, Hill; Mackie, Buzsaky (Hulse, 80), Barton, Wright-Phillips; Smith, Helguson (Macheda, h/t). Chelsea (4-3-3): Cech; Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Ramires (Romeu, 79), Meireles, Malouda; Sturridge, Torres, Mata (Essien, 90). Referee: Mike Dean. Man of the match: Ramires (Chelsea) Match rating: 3/10 Queens Park Rangers 0 Chelsea 1 (Mata, pen) Spotlight on John Terry So what happened to the handshake? There was no formal handshake between the teams after QPR's players said they would refuse to shake hands with John Terry as a gesture of solidarity with AntonFerdinand. Terry did, however, shake the hand of Joey Barton the QPR captain at the coin toss, and those of the match officials. After the game, Barton (pictured) was again the only QPR player whose hand he shook. How did the fans greet his first touch? He was booed throughout by QPR fans, but as the match wore on the venom in the booing dropped. There was also a series of chants directed at Terry and his family, some too unsavoury to print. They included: 'John Terry, we know what you said'. The Chelsea fans cheered him. Did he have any arguments with anybody on the pitch? None whatsoever. The game was surprisingly bereft of confrontations between players. How did he play? Very well. If not quite flawless, Terry won the majority of his headers, tracked his man, won most of his tackles, generally distributed the ball well and made no serious errors. www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/mata-books-chelseas-passage-as-neighbours-refuse-to-make-a-fuss-6296205.html
