And the chances keep on coming for Manchester City. It's like a tidal wave at the Etihad. Wave after wave of attack. This time Frank Lampard meets Pablo Zabaleta's cross at the near post but curls his effort the wrong side of the woodwork.

Four? Five? Six? How many goals will Manchester City score? QPR have taken off Bobby Zamora and replaced him with Junior Hoilett.

BBC Match of the Day commentator at the Etihad Stadium"This QPR relegation fight has been nothing more than a whimper this afternoon. It's not the going down, it's the manner. No fight, no pride from Queens Park Rangers."
GOALpublished at 14:35 British Summer Time 10 May 2015
And that, folks, is the end of QPR in the Premier League.
Manchester City surge into a commanding 3-0 lead after a corner to QPR. It is cleared and David Silva is on the charge.
His intended ball to Sergio Aguero should have been cut out by Yun Suk-young but a schoolboy error by the South Korean allows Aguero to power on and slot past Robert Green.
Far too easy.

Is there any hope for QPR? Well, Fulham were 2-0 down with 20 minutes remaining at Manchester City requiring a win to stay up in 2007-08. They did it wearing red and black. The same colours QPR are wearing for this game.

Memo to Chelsea fans: Don't ever send a plane over Stamford Bridge with a banner criticising manager Jose Mourinho.
Asked about last week's stunt when a plane circled Anfield ahead of Liverpool's game with QPR calling for Reds boss Brendan Rodgers to be replaced by Rafael Benitez, Mourinho said: "If one plane comes to Stamford Bridges saying 'Jose Out' I send a drone!"

Observer football correspondent Amy Lawrence on Match of the Day 2 Extra: "I feel a bit for Chris Ramsey that he hasn't been able to show what he can do but there have been some key matches where selections have been questionable. That said, I'd like to see him stay on there to see what he can do."

So, Preston are heading to Wembley.
North End striker Jermaine Beckford tells Sky Sports: "It's a feeling of relief. I'm very grateful for the chance that's been given to me. I'm happy we've got a chance to get rid of this hoodoo that's been hanging over us."
On his wonder goal from just inside his own half: "I slipped! Towards the end of the game, my legs started to go. It's the only option I had, so I thought I'd have a go with the way my luck's been at the moment. It managed to fly in."
Nine play-off failures out of nine for Preston before this year - can it be 10th time lucky?

Benjamin: The Etihad has about as much atmosphere as Jupiter this afternoon.
Matt Barron: This is like watching a testimonial. Leroy Fer has walked through this half so far. Embarrassing.
Fer has covered 5.11km. That's just under three-and-a-half miles and is slightly more ground than David Silva has covered.

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge tweets:, external "David Silva is a striker's dream. The guy's passing is unreal."
Silva has the best passing accuracy in the opposition half (92%) and has played the most passes in the game so far - 46. In contrast, James Milner's accuracy in the opposite half is 39%.
Could Milner be at Liverpool next season? Brendan Rodgers has been linked with a move for the midfielder.

QPR might be heading for the Championship but Charlie Austin is at least giving this a good go. The former Burnley man side-foots narrowly wide but it wouldn't have counted because of an offside flag.
