QPR’s final two league games have been rendered irrelevant in terms of the club’s survival, though they represent an opportunity for Chris Ramsey to prove himself. The pressure here will be on Newcastle as they desperately seek a victory that could spare them an agonising final day. In truth, everyone in the arena will be disaffected by the way their club’s campaign has played out. Disaffection and disappointment will abound. Dominic Fifield
