QPR veteran Nelsen: I could've stayed at Tottenham

QPR veteran Ryan Nelsen has no regrets leaving Tottenham over the summer.

The Kiwi, 35, was outstanding against Chelsea on the weekend.

"I could've probably stayed at Tottenham," he said. "Mark (Hughes) came in pretty early on and Tottenham were changing managers.

"They pretty much said they would like me to stay but they didn't have a manager at the time. I couldn't wait for that so when Mark came in it was a no-brainer.

"I loved my time at Spurs. It's a classy club from the chairman to the kit man. I enjoyed every minute of it and it was a great experience.

"But I've got no regrets the way things turned out. I couldn't be happier at QPR.

"I'm looking forward to going back and hopefully getting a good result against them.

"You always want them to do well apart from when you play them, but we want to win every game, and Tottenham will be no different."
