Barton hails fans after QPR triumph

By

Skipper Joey Barton hailed QPR’s fans after Rangers’ dramatic win against Stoke at Loftus Road.

Djibril Cisse’s late goal means the R’s will definitely stay up if they get a point at Manchester City next weekend.

Barton told Sky: “A massive part is the atmosphere the fans created. It was electric. I wouldn’t want to play in front of that as an opposition player. It gives us such momentum.

“People wrote us off and said our run-in was very tough, but we stayed compact as a unit and kept chipping away.

“We’re now in a position with one game to go where we’re still the masters of own destiny.

“If you’d said that to me 10 games ago I’d have snapped your hand off and I’m sure most QPR fans would have felt the same.”
