Adel Taarabt: Swansea City must hate playing against me
ADEL Taarabt reckons Swansea City will be dreading the prospect of facing him when they kick off the new season at Queens Park Rangers.
Swansea have never won at Loftus Road, and their last two visits to Rangers have been especially miserable.

Swansea were thrashed 4-0 in West London during their Championship promotion season and produced their worst display of last term as they went down 3-0 against the Hoops back in April.
Taarabt bagged two goals in the second-tier thumping and he impressed again last spring as Brendan Rodgers's side failed to turn up.

"I can't wait to get started and it's nice that we start with Swansea as I have a good record against them," the midfielder creator said.
"They must hate playing against me and will probably be sick of the sight of me.
"They do play very good football, but that just seems to bring the best out of my game."
Swansea midfielder Leon Britton, meanwhile, admits Michael Laudrup's men are due a performance at QPR.
"I think we definitely owe the fans one," he said. "It was probably our worst performance of last season up there, but it's going to be a tough game because they have made a lot of signings."

“Don't you just love it when a player bumps his gums like ADEL Taarabt as has to re-start 5 times during a match? "Rodgers the Sincere" was also bumping his gums, after that defensive performance he will either be making a play for Big Ash or Caulker or both.
John W Henry may have bought "Rodgers the Sincere" and Pasc, but he didn't buy Swansea. "Rodgers the Sincere" couldn't make it happen at Reading with less pressure, he's going to find it pressure cauldron in scouse land.
Nice to see Curt enjoying the Sun yesterday, you know what they say "the Sun shines on the righteous!"”

“morton1947,i have come to the opinion that you know absolutely nothing about footballers if you think that " he will be running scared".I have never come across any player who was anything other than excited and eager before a game.If he was'nt scared before playing against man u or man city i hardly think we will scare him. beat him maybe but scare hin never.
DjofTNE,so QPR will be back where they belong in the championship will they? Hope you'r wrong because it dont say much for our chances then cos they played us off the park last season I recommend you spend you'r energy geting behind the swans instead of being petty and spiteful against oppsition teams and supporters”

“Hadoken you have hit the nail on the head . .sounds to me like a man running scared. Let's hope we turn up on the day this time and play them off the pitch as this would set as off to a great start and may set the foundations for a good season . .Hopefully we will have a better start overall to the campaign this year as it took us no end of matches before we got our first away win on the board.”

“Hadonken567, Get over yourself,What did yo expect him to say? "Swansea are a great side and most probably will beat us". Evan Leon Britton said it was their worse performance of the seson.When he said what he said he was talking to his own fans not thinking of hurting the tender feelings of the opposition fans,even though what he said was true, we are sick of the sight of him and hope he does'nt score against us”
