Didn't see the game last night and, if this report from The Guardian is anything to go by then it probably wasn't a bad thing:

Discounting the moment when the fourth official, Colin Webster, rescued
a mouse from the side of the pitch, it was not until the hour-mark
before the first genuine moment of excitement

However I'm not sure whether to actually believe that report as all the other reports seem to make the game sound a little better than that.  The Times:

QPR were hanging on for dear life by the time Danny Welbeck was brought on in
the 72nd minute, but having withstood a siege, thanks mainly to Radek Cerny,
their goalkeeper, the Coca-Cola Championship team looked as though they were
going to take a one-sided contest into extra time.

Sir Alex's thoughts from The Telegraph:

“It was just a matter of opening them up and taking the first chance, but that
was difficult,” Ferguson said. “We created a lot of chances, but at
the moment they’re just not going in for us.

“There was some relief when we finally made the breakthrough because, as the
game wears on, it only takes a second to score a goal and QPR, with their
massive support, were always going to give it a go at some point. The
attitude of the players was very good, though, and I’m pleased to go
through.”

The other news is of course of Owen Hargreaves missing the rest of the season and career being in danger, from The Guardian:

Owen Hargreaves' future as a professional footballer is in jeopardy
after he was ruled out for the rest of the season because of his
persistent problems with tendinitis. Hargreaves underwent surgery on
his right knee yesterday and will also need a successful operation on
his left knee if his career is to progress beyond the age of 27.

Although Sir Alex seems slightly more optimistic than that:

"We gave him injections to begin with but, when that didn't clear it
up, we sent him to see people in London and Sweden and, again, we never
really got to the bottom of the problem," Sir Alex Ferguson explained
before last night's 1-0 Carling Cup win over Queens Park Rangers. "We
needed to speed it up, which is why we decided to send him to the best
man possible. It's been really difficult for the lad, being out so
long. But what we are trying to do is put this to bed and get him back
as a fit player next season. The operation went well although, of
course, we won't know the exact circumstances until we've got him back
with us."
