Djibril: We can stay in top flight

- By JON WEST

DJIBRIL CISSE reckons crisis club Queens Park Rangers will still be in the Premier League next term.

The Hoops are a laughing stock right now, with everything that can go wrong doing just that.

Everyone is having a chortle at the Four Year Plan documentar­y that made the previous owners look like total amateurs.

And five players – including Cisse – have picked up reckless red cards this season. Blundering officials also failed to spot they had actually scored a goal through Clint Hill’s header at fellow strugglers Bolton at the weekend.

Mark Hughes’ (below) mob ended up losing that one 2-1 and are now in the drop zone.

Cisse said: “It is difficult to take, but the referees are only human and they need help.

“They need whatever help they can get and video technology is one option.

“They have to do something because we saw how it cost us.”

But the France striker insisted: “With this kind of performanc­e, there’s no doubt that we are going to stay up.

Disaster

“I love the club already. I will do my best to help the club stay up because we belong in the Premier League now.

“We have to produce this every game and we have to score goals. We have to fight until the end and that’s what we are going to do.”

Cisse, who had netted the R’s goal at Bolton, admitted that the Tr o t t e r s ’ winner had been a disaster.

He said: “I’m happy to help the team, but when you don’t bring points home it’s a bit useless.

“With five minutes to go, you cannot really concede a goal like that.”
