It's been two weeks since Everton played a match, but now the contests will come fast and furious as yesterday marked the start of six matches in the month of March. The Toffees looked the better side in the first half, including Royston Drenthe's immaculate wonder strike to put EFC up 1-0. Unfortunately just a few minutes later Drenthe showed why he's not the most complete player by giving a bad foul just outside the box that led to a QPR goal. The second half was uneventful, save for a few solid Tim Howard saves, and the match ended 1-1. The good news is that Everton remain uneaten in their last 10 matches as they head toward an important month.
Queens Park Rangers (QPR) is one of the newly promoted teams to the Premier League this year, and lately it has shown. While they were lucky to obtain the draw yesterday, they are still in the bottom five, where just two points separate all five teams. While they are struggling, the other two promoted sides, Norwich and Swansea, are having solid years and have all but assured they will remain in the top flight. It would be a rarity if all three end of staying up, as the last time it happened was in 2001-02. On the flip side, only once have all three teams been relegated. QPR still have some work to do, and it's getting to the point in the season where every game seems to count double or triple. Should be a fun end to the season.
