Everyone knows QPR v Chelsea is a pretty fiery west London derby.
There’s not much love lost between the two sets of fans, and it’s a rivalry that has endured despite the hugely contrasting fortunes of each side in the last 10 years.
The situation with John Terry and Anton Ferdinand in 2011 only exacerbated things further, turning relations extremely hostile.
The two meet again on Sunday with Chelsea hoping to maintain their lead at the top of the table, while QPR are desperately fighting to avoid the drop.
Clint Hill scored in the 3-3 draw at Aston Villa on Monday and, speaking to the QPR Podcast, he issued a rallying cry to fans that seems just a little bit OTT, however much the fans hate each other.
Hill has called on QPR fans to turn Loftus Road into – wait for it – “a cauldron of fire and hate” on Sunday.
Yes, that’s right. A cauldron of fire and hate.
He said: “Everyone expects Chelsea to win it and steamroll us but we were there a few years ago [when QPR beat Chelsea 1-0] and if we could just rectify [sic] that same kind of atmosphere and cauldron of fire and hate, to a certain degree.
“If we can try and get anything near what happened that day, we pulled off an absolute miracle. I’m sure we could do it again with that same support.
” I fancy us on Sunday. I really do. Hopefully we’ve got Dunney coming back and Leroy [Fer] too.”
He went on to say some other stuff too but to be honest we stopped listening after the cauldron of fire and hate comment.
Over to you QPR fans …
