There was no live press conference thread this morning because of the threat of a legal injunction from the makers of Cluedo. Lawyers hard at work, here's edited highlights of what you missed.
Sits down. Looks at table. No tea. Puffs out cheeks. Looks left and right. But it's too late, here comes this week's offering. Toothy Gary from Sky playing the role of class dickhead.
Injuries. Jordon, Joey, Nedum, Niko have all trained. Today's first day we've had everybody fit since I've been at the club. Everybody training today.
Not a headache. S'nice to to have a full squad. Can all be selected this week. Let's hope they cam fru today fine.
That's the QPR bit of the presser over. Man City questins now.
City have a fentastic squad of players, them and Chelsea fighting for the championship, taff game again, did wewll at Chewlsea last week, need same commitment we showed against Villa, Liverpool, if we do that we've got a chance.
We've gotta play wewll to get anyfink. Same commitment and ability and skill as we've been showing. We know it's very very 'ard. Not a bad team overnight. Fentastic ability. Great squad. Game to look forward to. They're the champions. Little boys in the park. Mother's calling. Five more minutes.
Jose said during the game your fans are incredible, which they were. They were fentastic. Support against Vill,a Liverpool, Chelsea bin great. Stuck with their team. That's all you can ask. Makes a big difference to the team.
Tea's arrived. Big slurp.
Jose couldn't believe the amount of noise they were making in that corner. Supporters don't realise what a difference they can make to a team. They can make or break you. They're important part of the rest of the season for us.
Spoke to Rio. Fought he was gonna appeal. We all feel it's unjust. Heavy punishment. Don't know what a Twitter is. If you criticise me and I give you some stick back that's life.
Climbs on the table. Bondy strikes up. Takes hold of the BT Sport mic. Starts to sway.
Ian Taylor on backing vocals there. Beautiful.
Free games is 'arsh. Decided it's not worf appealing. He'll let it die and move on.
Austin for England. Austin for England.
Charlie's improving. If he keeps scoring no reason he can't in the future, great lad, good attitude, not a minute's bovver, smile on his face, enjoys playing football, 'ad it the 'ard way brick laying in winter, realises how fortunate he is to be doing what he's doing now, deserves it, top, top fella, keeps improving and working on the game no reason he can't make a breakfru. Gotta keep scoring.
Woy's not spoke to me abaght Charlie. 'Ope he scores against Man City.
Commence Tottenham discussion.
'Arry Kane 'as dun very wewll, but he cams off the bench at Spurs and suddenly he should be in the England team. He's got a big future but he can't get in the Tottenham team. Few years ago you 'ad to be super playing every week top of your game top league in the country. Now you can be a sub and get in the England team. I don't see it. 'Arry doing wewll for Under 21s, he needs to establish himself. Great lad, good player, big future, loves his mum. Big future. Nothing to do with me, he's a Tottenham player.
This week's Sky wnkoff is Brendan Rodgers' team selection. Highly relevant.
Brendan's choice. He's the manager. (Thanks Harry). If he wins Saturday then it's justified. It's up to Brendan, manager of Liverpool, done a fentastic job.
Now talking about Bournemouth. I took Eddie Howe to Portsmouth, got a bad injury, finished his career, doing a fentastic job, great football, super set up, couldn't be more pleased for Eddie, amazing job, the way they play the game is excellent.
I couldn't go there and follow in Eddie's footsteps. We'll have to change his name to Eduardo then he'll get a big job. Plain old Eddie Howe won't get a big job.
More tea vicar.
It 'appens in football. Game of confidence. Everything turns, Newcastle suddenly win a game and bang they take off, now they're playing like world beaters, great for Pards, couple of results you start looking at your players. It's an up and daghn game. Man City don't have too many downs, win every week, couple of dicky results, fentastic players, best player in the league Aguero, full of quality. Very, very 'ard.
Not the worst time to play em but wiwll be difficult. They wiwll get back to sparkling form, at the moment not playing with same freedom and flair of six weeks ago. Still beat Man U. Still dangerous.
So close. Couple of wins, everything looks different. Every point vital. Three points is massive in this league. We're playing wewll, that's important, last free games we've played wewll. Got a big chance of being ok this year.
Charlie probably finks back to when he was up at 5am laying bricks in the winter. This is fentastic for him. I fink it's good. (Thanks 'Arry). Maybe we should do that to a few more young pros, get em out on building sites. I've sent kids out on loan, Frank Lampard to Swansea in the fourth division, washing his own kit, toughened him up, made them appreciate it when they came back to West Haghm. Wouldn't do any of them any 'arm.
Already talking about transfer window.
Nothing concluded with Jermaine. Tried to get 'im before deadline. No movement atm. Big fan of Jermaine. Signed him enaff times. Goalscorer. A player you'd like at the club if possible. Figures 'av to be right. We'll be interested in January. Wevver we can do a deal, depends on expense. Tony the Chairman deals with that.
I 'aven't spoken to him.
Too much QPR chat, back to Man City. A woman with a wild and dangerous question of her own.
Ageing squad? Aguero isn't very old. They've 'ad a blip. It 'appens. Fentastic playas. Top, top playas. They will be bang there at the end of the year.
Fck me it's dragging on this. Man City are fentastic having a blip. Everybody is fit. Jermain might be coming. Charlie Austin used to lay brick. There. Done. Call it.
They've got qwality in every position, couple of bad results there's a crisis on, that's football. Somebody else's turn next week. Crazy really.
They're bang there. Still second. Third. (correct by Wally Downes. Didn't like it) Wawll's an expert on stats up there. Winks, points. Gonna get Bondy to try and run him over outside.
The problem we 'ad early on was getting people fit and out training. We've got four players fit this week. Joey been out eight weeks. Mutch 'as been out for free and a half years. Fer is a fentastic talent, getting fit. Nedum getting fit. Problem getting people up to speed and Niko away from the West Country Pasty Co. stand.
Every confidence we'll stay in the league.
Bondy's choice this week draws a stern look and a muffled swear word from Joe Jordan.

"Injuries. Jordon, Joey, Nedum, Niko have all trained. Today's first day we've had everybody fit since I've been at the club. Everybody training today".
Hmm, somehow I doubt that is true. Surely Faurlin (remember him, 'Arry?) didn't train? God, I'd love it if he did train, but that seems unlikely, doesn't it?
RFA
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

About the only thing that stuck out for me during that press conference was Mourinho's apparent comments about out supporters.
Don't know when I've heard of a manager saying that to another manager during the actual game. It was superb though - my sound bar was juddering. Well done to everybody who was there.

I think he's begun to channel Ron Manager. Don't quote me on that.
