No Christmas cheer for party pooper Harry

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has told his players to forget about organising a Christmas party and to focus all their attention on avoiding relegation.

Rangers are second bottom of the Premier League table and face a crucial month that includes fixtures against Burnley, West Brom and Crystal Palace.

Redknapp’s dislike for club festivities grew in December 2009 when his Tottenham side flew to Dublin for a secret night out, only to lose 1-0 at home to Wolves on their return.
