we'll start with QPR I mean this there was a remarkable scoreline we spoke last week about Swansea's you know they lost against West Ham and it shouldn't derail their season and then now you know I think they conceded eight goals all season before this one and then they were 3-0 down after 15 because of a Richard Coney hat-trick Lovely stat in Bill Edgar's column this morning in the game about where that ranks.
