I remember a great game against Sunderland at rangers in the old first division. We won 3-2 I think falco got the winner in front of the loft. Im sure it was a relegation battle as well.

It will be nice to score a goal full stop. Don't care who scores it at this stage!

From eatsleepsport www.eatsleepsport.com/queens-park-rangers/vargas-made-to-wait-for-debut-1797553.html#.VACcjmIayK0 Vargas made to wait for debut Last Updated: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 13:44 Charlie Austin could be back after a hamstring strain to face Sunderland on Saturday but new boy Eduardo Vargas is still unavailable. Striker Austin hopes to have recovered from his injury in time to face the Black Cats as boss Harry Redknapp ponders changes after last weekend's dismal 4-0 defeat at Tottenham. Vargas is again unavailable as he is still awaiting a work permit, while Alejandro Faurlin has suffered his third anterior cruciate ligament injury in the last three years and will be sidelined for much of the season. Fringe players Shaun Wright-Phillips and Junior Hoilett failed to impress in the Capital One Cup defeat at Burton Albion on Wednesday so they will again be overlooked. Joey Barton, Leroy Fer and Matt Phillips may find their places under threat but Loic Remy is expected to start up front again. |

From the Independent www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/qpr-vs-sunderland-match-preview-9700093.html Premier League: QPR vs Sunderland match preview A look ahead to Saturday’s Premier League match at Loftus Road PATRICK FLETCHER Friday 29 August 2014 QPR’s last spell in the Premier League was a desperately unhappy affair and unfortunately this campaign has begun in a similar vein. Having spurned an opportunity to equalise from the penalty spot against Hull and having been battered 4-0 by London rivals Spurs, they find themselves again in that all too familiar routine of defeat. This clash, then, against fellow relegation contenders Sunderland is of particular import. A win would not just lift the team in terms of morale and points; it would represent a dose of one-upmanship delivered to the north east. Sunderland will have been disappointed to fail to capitalise on an early lead against West Brom but will be encouraged by the way they matched Manchester United on Sunday, even if matching Manchester United isn’t the feat it once was. Sunderland fans may secretly be thinking that they aren’t relegation fodder this time around and a victory here might just give weight to that notion. There is no getting away from the fact that Jack Rodwell, who scored on Sunday, is a key signing. If he can stay fit, he may well be the difference, especially given the departures of Ki Sung-yeung and Jack Colback in midfield. Both sides were in action in midweek, Sunderland faring considerably better than QPR, who were dumped out of the Capital One Cup at the hands of lowly Burton Albion. The Black Cats made relatively few changes and ran out 3-0 winners at Birmingham whereas QPR were one of many sides to suffer from over-rotation. Saturday will tell which of the managers’ decisions was the wise one. KICK-OFF: Saturday, 3pm PAST MEETINGS… QPR 3 (Remy, Townsend, Jenas) Sunderland 1 (Fletcher), Premier League, March 2013 Sunderland 0 QPR 0, Premier League, November 2012 Sunderland 3 (Bendtner, McClean, Sessegnon) QPR 1 (Taiwo), Premier League, March 2012 Sunderland’s Jack Rodwell celebrates his equaliser against Manchester United STATS… QPR’s win in the sides’ last encounter was their first time they had beaten Sunderland since 1991 QPR have won just 4 of their last 40 Premier League matches Last season Sunderland became only the second team to be bottom on Christmas Day and avoid relegation (after WBA in 2004-05) QPR had the best average possession in the Championship last season with 56.5% ODDS… QPR to win: 2.5 Sunderland to win: 3.2 Draw: 3.35 TV: Highlights on BBC1 at 10.20pm. |

From the Telegraph www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/11054239/Queens-Park-Rangers-v-Sunderland-team-news-and-match-preview.htmlQueens Park Rangers v Sunderland: team news and match preview Match preview and team news of the Premier League game between QPR and Sunderland at Loftus Road on Saturday August 30, 2014, kick-off 15.00 (BST) Hopeful: Charlie Austin could be back in QPR's attack against Sunderland at Loftus Road Photo: REUTERS By John Ley4:14PM BST 29 Aug 2014 Comment Queens Park Rangers v Sunderland Saturday, August 30, 2014 Loftus Road Kick-off: 15.00 BST. TV: Highlights, BBC ONE Match of the Day. Starting XIs QPR (Possible, 3-5-2): Green; Caulker, Ferdinand, Dunne; Isla, Mutch, Barton, Fer, Traoré; Austin, Rémy. Out: Faurlin (knee), Vargas (work permit). Test: Austin (hamstring). Sunderland (Possible, 4-1-4-1): Mannone; Vergini, Brown, O'Shea, Van Aanholt; Cattermole; Johnson, Larsson, Rodwell, Wickham; Fletcher. Out: None. Referee: Robert Madley. Matches: None. Betting: Home 29-20, Away 15-8, Draw 2-1. Team News Queens Park Rangers will be without Alejandro Faurlin for the visit of Sunderland after the midfielder suffered a serious knee injury for the third time in three years. QPR manager Harry Redknapp could yet be without Faurlin for the remainder of the season after he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury - whilst loan signing Eduardo Vargas will be unavailable as he is still awaiting a work permit. Charlie Austin missed the 4-0 loss at Tottenham last weekend but could be involved on Saturday as Redknapp is likely to recall a number of players who sat out the Capital One Cup defeat to Burton. Sunderland should be at full strength with Adam Johnson and Emmanuel Giaccherini returning for the midweek Capital Cup win at Birmingham. Match Notes Both teams are looking for their first league victory of the season but there is no doubt Gus Poyet, the Sunderland manager, has more reason to be satisfied with his side’s start. Harry Redknapp’s QPR are without a point or a goal and followed last Sunday’s woeful display at Tottenham with defeat at League Two Burton in midweek. By contrast, Sunderland performed well in draws with West Brom and Manchester United and eased past Birmingham in the Capital One cup. Ian Winrow's prediction: Queens Park Rangers 1 Sunderland 2. |

From vagasinsider www.vegasinsider.com/soccer/story.cfm/story/1583613 The Solid Bet: Sunderland to beat Queens Park Rangers at 37/20 QPR have been pretty awful so far this season. They opened the season with an uninspiring 1-0 home defeat to Hull City, followed by a 4-0 thumping at Tottenham. And on Tuesday the West Londoners were knocked out of the League Cup by League 2 Burton Albion, 1-0. Three games, three defeats, no goals. The most alarming thing about the loss at Tottenham was that they opted for a three-at-the-back formation. All three defenders, Richard Dunne, Steven Caulker and Rio Ferdinand, are very slow players and they were just carved apart by Pochettino's rampant Spurs. Harry Redknapp has never been the best at assembling defences, using the 'score more than the opposition' mantra. However his attack at QPR, the surely-departing Loic Remy aside, looks very ordinary. There is a sluggishness to the team, and even after a two year spell a few years ago, QPR still don't really look ready. Sunderland were unlucky not to beat Manchester United at the weekend, and were excellent in a 3-0 win at Birmingham City in the League Cup. Their away form was decent under Gus Poyet and, on their day, they are a dangerous team going forward. |

If ever there was a need for 3 points then this game is it tomorrow night.
A win here completely breathes new life into our season. Loss just seals our fate even more.
