have to say, I don't think Adel was merely the icing on the cake. With Ali in the midfield and no Adel I don't really think we would have gone up, let alone as champions. I like Ali Faurlin alot and he looked solid in the championship, for me yet to really prove he can cut the mustard in the top flight. Having said that, who in our squad really has?Warnock said when he first came to QPR he saw Faurlin and the skill he had and knew then he would be the player that would be key in bringing our midfield together, Adel was the icing on the cake. Remember, the best teams are built from the back and that stability gives the 'mavericks' a platform to exhibit their skills..
