After a busy transfer deadline day for QPR all eyes should be on them to see how their new recruits perform against Norwich in this Premier League clash. Harry Redknapp brought in a whopping six players in the January transfer window, three of which were on the deadline day, in a desperate attempt to try and escape the deadly relegation zone. The bottom feeders are our 10/11 favourite to win here which would shorten the gap between them and nineteenth placed Aston Villa, but they will need a few more under their belt to completely close it.

The Ghana Football Association has moved swiftly to refute allegations of match-fixing leveled against them by the media, labeling the stories as a mischievous campaign against the Black Stars.
In a statement published on the Ghana FA website, the association denied attempting to bring a Niger defender. The full statement read as follows:
“Our attention has been drawn to a report carried by the Ghana News Agency (GNA) and Radio Gold claiming that Ghana attempted to bribe a Nigerien player before Monday’s Africa Cup of Nations clash against Niger.
The report was filed by GNA and Radio Gold who are represented in Port Elizabeth by Veronica Commey and Nana Darkwa respectively.
We wish to state emphatically that report is false, irresponsible, reckless and mischievous.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) would like to state emphatically that there is not iota of truth in the report and it is the reckless imagination of the authors of the report.
GFA is extremely disturbing that at a time that the country is solidly behind the Black Stars to bring the Africa Cup of Nations trophy home, a tiny minority of journalists would engage in such nation-wrecking activity.
In as much as the GFA will strive to create opportunities to enhance the work of the media during this tournament, we will not condone acts meant to tarnish the image of the country.More

The health and sports ministry has commissioned Ernst & Young, together with two professors, to investigate reports of match fixing in Dutch sport, free newspaper Spits reports on Wednesday.
Sports law professor Marjan Olfers and criminology professor Toine Spapens will lead the project, which will last three months, the paper said.
Sports minister Edith Schippers decided last summer to set up the investigation, following on from a hotline she had set up for athletes to report bribes.
The researchers will talk to athletes, officials, sports associations and gambling bodies in an effort to find out if the problem exists or is widespread in the Netherlands.
Real chance
Last June, Labour MP Jeroen Recourt told the NRC there is a ‘very real chance’ that Dutch football is embroiled in major match fixing. The MP said tips point to corruption centering on the Jupiler League (first division).
Recourt claimed to have being given ‘multiple’ tips about match fixing in the Netherlands but declined to give further information.
In 2010, European football body Uefa said it had not found any evidence of match fixing in the Dutch first division, following reports two matches were under investigation.
