Tuesday’s Dugout Discussion

by Mark on December 29

There are two more games from gameweek 20 to come this evening, with Villa hosting Liverpool in the game of the night at 7.45. A few minutes later at 8pm, Bolton kick-off against Hull in what looks like a slightly less attractive proposition. You can never tell though; what price a Reebok goal fest?

As usual, we’ve opened our live chatroom to catch your every reaction as the matches progress. Coast over to this page to contribute.

most of the managers focusing on players from team that is goin to play twice..so lets hope that there is no rotation for tonight match..
i got 28poin with rooney, evra, diaby, arshavin to go…

i can see..arshavin on the scoresheet..or at least an assist and bnus poin..

What a great news????!!!
so lucky this bustard fabregas, only 5weeks??..it should be 5months!!!

mullenlad December 30 at 2:55 am

I don’t know what it is… but something tells me you don’t like the guy.

TheHazard December 30 at 2:58 am

dunno why but I found that really really funny

Seanigula December 30 at 2:58 am

yeah, because he’s a fargin’ bustard

gwaipor December 30 at 3:03 am

TIME TO SELL SELL SELL

Feanor December 30 at 3:04 am

Maybe he’ll actually go down in price this time.

mullenlad December 30 at 3:04 am

would wait till tomorrow as in later today for confirmation.

Seanigula December 30 at 3:05 am

maybe Arsh too for that tough run 23-26.

skully December 30 at 3:10 am

great setpiece taker..
arshavin will be in my team until season over..

lampard is coming for etherington…and bent for drogba..

Seanigula December 30 at 3:35 am

I was just about to pull the trigger on Arsh because I had Fab too…but he did just enough that another transfer always seemed more important

if Gerrard and Lamps were in better form, a lot less people would consider Arsh worth his price

81 points in 18 weeks is nothing special for 11 mil

Don December 30 at 3:08 am

should we start the fab mass sellout?

TheHazard December 30 at 3:15 am

Honestly, I’d wait for some more reputable sources not posted by a guy called ‘I hate Fabregas’ before I made my decision, but I’ve not got him, so its your call…

mar December 30 at 3:17 am

It said in the source he linked dude

Henry Hill December 30 at 3:18 am

Hold your fire until a few more reputable websites confirm it

TheHazard December 30 at 3:20 am

yeh I wasnt saying he was the source, I was saying the website he linked was the source. And I’m not saying its wrong, I’m saying I’d see if other websites report the same thing, dude

Henry Hill December 30 at 3:22 am

Exactly TheHazard, solid advice, a fit Fabregas is a must in all sides IMO

Seanigula December 30 at 3:31 am

Fab is quoted in the Guardian as saying he’ll be out for a while…but why rush and sell him until he’s dropping….and who knows how long that will take under the FPL system of protection

mar December 30 at 3:16 am

No choice don my friend…no choice

Don December 30 at 3:27 am

well.. he will be out for 3 weeks. and its even in arsenal guardian site. so i think its 99% true.

fab and taylor out then.
for 18.4 , any 2 midfielders i should get?
already have lennon ohara and shavin

Seanigula December 30 at 3:29 am

Gerrard and Diaby/Murphy/NZog/Hunt

skully December 30 at 3:36 am

why gerrard instead of lampard??

just asking…

Seanigula December 30 at 3:41 am

I just have a feeling that LIV are getting it together a bit, and Gerrard will always be the core of that offense

CHE are lacking some of the offense and will be disrupted by losing Drogba and others. If Frank suddenly fills the void and reverts to last year’s form then he is the one….but that is a big IF.

Neither seem worth their price right now. So maybe the best midfield is ARSH and 4 cheaper middies that are good value for money (MIlner, Lennon, Ohara, N Zog/Diaby)…then pour the money into the forward line

skully December 30 at 4:19 am

im HOPING that CA will push chelsea no.8 a bit up front..and use ballack-deco to hold the midfield..

and i can see CA will fully utilise sturridge..
and its time for mr zirkov to come in..

joe cole-lampard
sturridge

Don December 30 at 3:43 am

preferences.
0.4 cheaper.
ima pool fans.
both is a risk, thus i better go with my idol:p

so.. duff or murphy?

Seanigula December 30 at 3:48 am

I think Murphy for the spot kicks and penalties…but I’m not sure Fulham is the way to go now that the DGW is over

I think top priority should be to get Tevez in. He will rack up some serious points over the next 5+

mar December 30 at 3:51 am

Spot kicks and penalties…

Don December 30 at 4:03 am

went for murphy instead of duff. yea maybe fulham dont have the fixture but at 6.0 , couldnt find any other decent mfielder that can do the job for me. arshavin is on his way out too

MUfan December 30 at 3:30 am

If that is so I don’t know how good Arshavin will be. If Wenger can employ someone to replace song at the back and play diaby as offensive.. Torres scored last night was a surprise. Anyone forsaw that?

The Dynamo December 30 at 3:37 am
mar December 30 at 3:37 am

U can never write off el-niño

i hate fabregas December 30 at 3:39 am

no worry. i will keep all the most updated news in this website.
i am a big fan of spurs, hopefully the “fabs” u guys mentioned will be out for 5months so i will never see him in bpl anymore!
Spurs forever!!!

mar December 30 at 3:47 am

Shut it u know fab is better tht any spurs player

i hate fabregas December 30 at 4:27 am

Are u from Spain/France? thats why u are ars supporter? gunners are all dicks in english football…
Defoe, Lennon and Crouch are all ENGLAND hero which is ARS cannot compare with!!!!

alsybach December 30 at 6:01 am

are you on the loopy juice? Peter Crouch v Fabregas …. discuss!!

i hate fabregas December 30 at 6:10 am

I am wondering did fabregas ever see Peter Crouch face-to-face?
i am sure the short spanish dicks cant even reach Peter’s hair with his hands up, discuss your head lol….comparing our spurs hero with a short spanish dicks.

Nemanja22 December 30 at 6:15 am

Crouch is a long dangy freak…1 push and he’s gone,boooommmm…skinny chap…..he’s no match b4 fab even if am not an arsenal fan…so stop blabbering,u fool..

RaspingDrive December 30 at 7:38 am

Where are you from? Can’t be England as your grasp of the language is quite frankly piss poor

mar December 30 at 3:41 am

Let’s play pErdict the scores ppl. Arsenal 3 -1 pompy (arshavin,eduardo,dindane,verms) man utd 3 – 0 (Rooney,berbz,evra)

i hate fabregas December 30 at 3:47 am

ManUnited 5-2 Wigan (Rooney 12min,30mn,58mn, Rodallega 5min, Fletcher 33min, Scharner 49min, Vidic 70min)
Portsmouth 1-0 Arsenal (Dindane 90min)

mar December 30 at 3:49 am

Cmonn u ARSENAL!!!!!

Seanigula December 30 at 3:50 am

at least you’re not going with the safe predictions

Seanigula December 30 at 3:52 am

POR 0 ARS 2 Arsh, Diaby
Man Utd 3 Wig 0 Rooney x2, Valencia

wishful thinkin’ but that’s why i got ‘em

mar December 30 at 3:54 am

Ye it’s hard not bein biased while making predictions lol. I play iknow the score and usually let me heart rule my head

skully December 30 at 7:02 am

or…goaless draw..
;-P

soulkash December 30 at 3:59 am

Dindane is at the ACN!

soulkash December 30 at 4:00 am

Actually, he’s not!

mar December 30 at 3:48 am

Yid!!!!

darcy December 30 at 4:11 am

Damn you Torres!

DGW’s suck!

Seanigula December 30 at 4:19 am

why is everybody so worked up over Torres?…it’s not like he had a hat trick…he was bound to get a goal eventually

you’ll only get a few less when your sub comes in for Fab (and you could have put Jerome in the 1st spot)

skully December 30 at 4:31 am

man..need assistance..

if i transfer out drogba…who is the best mid price forward i should transfer in??
im preparing my team for tot-hull match..so i want to spare some money in my bank..

rickatatastan December 30 at 4:53 am

Captain Torres saves my week, perhaps. Let’s see if one of the double gameweek players trumps the crap out of me as I suspect he will.

skully December 30 at 5:01 am

yup..i can see a lot of goal at emirate from both team..klasnic..diaby..for sure..

buggu December 30 at 5:01 am

Zamora? in form and against a pompey side at home. probably 3 difficult matches after that but you will have defoe to cover you for them games and then thay have bolton and burnley. very much entincing

skully December 30 at 5:10 am

my plan..tot-hull and then manu-hull but before that che-hull..
and because i already had rooney..so for next match..i bring in lampard..and mid price forward..
then go for defoe..

the best thing is..man,che,tot will play at their home..if one of this team CS..it would be NICE…

gwaipor December 30 at 4:28 am

Can’t sell Fab yet because dunno who will get injured on the games on the 6th of Jan

buggu December 30 at 4:50 am

ppl getting all this good luck with subs like fabs comming on and off whilst completely the opposite for me. damn that bolton match being called off has as got me in a bad run .

when i going to ever learn it pays to have a decent bench , still got eliott and ricketts after just managing to get rid of oshea, dunn and distin. one to not for next season, not that i,ll probably stick to it.

skully December 30 at 5:05 am

sometime u need to think differently from the others..and sometime it pay off..
lets look forward into next fixtures..

Abdoulaye Faye December 30 at 5:17 am

Dempsey or Barry?

alonbe December 30 at 5:45 am

Barry

alsybach December 30 at 6:02 am

dempsey definitely!

sticko December 30 at 5:42 am

I fancy Ramsey to pick up double figures this week. I think he will start at least one game and u wouldnt be surprised with a goal and an assist if he starts against portsmouth. Am i dreaming?

i hate fabregas December 30 at 5:55 am

yes indeed you are dreaming as Arsenal will be losing 1-0 to portsmouth.
so your total points gain from this game will be 7points with your ramsey subs in 70thmin.

sticko December 30 at 6:01 am

Mate you are a tool. Fabregas is not only the best player in the premier league he is close to the best in the world. I can tell from your poor spelling that your not english, so whats with talkin up all the english players and all the racism towards the spanish. You obvoisly have no idea about football if you think portsmouth will beat arsenal. So grow up and get a life.

alsybach December 30 at 6:03 am

hear hear!!

Nemanja22 December 30 at 6:12 am

Football is unpredictable..anything can happen..who thought burnley will beat utd,who thought wigan will beat chelsea and keep a cleanie and lose to 9 goals against spurs?????…so just chill,dnt gget excited and watch and enjoy the footie feast………..

gwaipor December 30 at 6:42 am

” I can tell from your poor spelling that your not english, ……. You obvoisly ”

1) It is “you’re” not “your”
2) “obvoisly” isn’t a word

Arsene December 30 at 7:17 am

a spell-off is the only way to settle this.

mikeblue97 December 30 at 7:38 am

Er, sorry but it is your… “You’re” is short for “you are” btw
;¬)

RaspingDrive December 30 at 7:45 am

Erm, yes, but I think that gwaipor was referring to “your not English” in which case he was right to make the correction.

from the grammar czar

ChuckN December 30 at 7:46 am

err no, it is YOU’RE as in:

“I can tell from your poor spelling that YOU ARE not english”

i hate fabregas December 30 at 7:20 am

Thanks for ur comments on my spelling, and appreciated for the English lessons.
Once i feel monotonous to this site as not much interesting discussion topics and arguments here.
But nw i’m glad that at least i had created some “fire” here btw us.
Anyway i love soccer and i love bpl as much as you guys!
Apologized if anything did hurt u.
Will be bck “fire” again tomorrow (if Arsenal lose 1-0 tonight)!

Arsene December 30 at 7:31 am

Awesome post!!! Hillarious! Can’t wait for the “fire” tomorrow IHF!

swedish_toffee December 30 at 7:43 am

Good to see that you atleast love something, seems to be a lot of hate in you otherwise. I’m not the biggest Arsenal fan either but I can spot a world class player when I see one and if you think Fabregas is shite then you know nothing about football, period.

We all know you hate Fabregas, it’s pretty obvious, but please try to keep your posts clean from personal attacks on players, teams and nationalities. I find it very offensive. Contribute or don’t post at all.

Arsene December 30 at 8:32 am

I think he loves ‘arry and ENGLAND.

Sebo December 30 at 8:23 am

‘Soccer?? You must be a yank…

alsybach December 30 at 6:07 am

I am hoping beyond hope the same about Eduardo, he has bagged me a few points but I am slowly getting a little concerned, a nice hattrick tonight would alieviate those fears a little though! I must however agree with you though, old Ihate Fab sound like a right nob jockey!!

Arsene December 30 at 6:14 am

I was tempted by a punt on Eduardo this week but went for Tevez instead. Hope he finds some form tonight and some of that clinical finishing that he was know for. Just doesn’t look dangerous at all any more.
Nob jockey for sure.

sticko December 30 at 6:20 am

I have eduardo too so im with you there alsybach. I know anything could happen i just hate people that site there sayin a team is going to lose coz they hate that team.

fleeto2009 December 30 at 6:58 am

he’ll be on the bench…

Arsene December 30 at 7:02 am

Yep, Walcott and now Rosicky available, plus Nasri. Will be interesting to see the line up.

buggu December 30 at 7:08 am

wouldnt have minded getting rosicky in, had i known he was back in contention and would play, probably the best of all of them.

Arsene December 30 at 7:14 am

Yeah- apart from the obvious injury concerns, he’s awesome. But I’m not sure he’ll start tonight.

StudzUp December 30 at 6:37 am

test

fleeto2009 December 30 at 6:55 am

icles

Arsene December 30 at 6:51 am

So three weeks from the Sunday just gone (when Fab’s latest injury happened) takes us up until the BOL v ars game the GW after next (17thJan). Obviously pointless speculation as we’ll surely know a lot more later today, but ‘out for three weeks’ could well only mean missing one more GW after this one.
hmmmmm

Arsene December 30 at 6:56 am

Still haven’t seen anything really convincing to suggest he won’t play any part this week or at least in the Everton game in 10 days time. Even boring myself with this now.

MUfan December 30 at 7:22 am

Lennon was given the assist! Hahah! Just realised. :D

FPL_crazy December 30 at 7:56 am

yeap. I am happy.

FPL_crazy December 30 at 7:57 am

Does anyone has any insight on Martin Petrov? Will he be regular starting XI at ManCity under Mancini?

kathers December 30 at 8:05 am

I was about to ask the same question! He has scored 40 points in his 5 starts. I remember him being a great FPL player a couple of seasons back till he got injured. Takes set-pieces as well. If he is rested this weekend I will be bringing him and Tevez in.

Arsene December 30 at 8:24 am

Still feel that we’re a gme or two away from knowing exatly where we stand in terms of the citeh line up, as is the manager prhaps? A lot of good players to select from. Be a great signing if he’s a nailed on starter though.

skully December 30 at 8:27 am

if petrov start…but what if not???

Ernie_Schitt December 30 at 8:34 am

Argh!

This game drives me mad. ONE point from blummin’ Cashly and my first sub has 15!

Makes me feel like a complete Hunt…

Ernie_Schitt December 30 at 8:37 am

AND I had Friedel in goal…

Noodles December 30 at 8:46 am

Football can be a cruel cruel game.

Fantasy football that is.

Arsene December 30 at 8:43 am

Think of it like fishing Ernie… you put the best bate on the line and cast into the best place and sometimes the other guy who did everything wrong still catches a bigger fish, but over time you should end up with the better haul! HAHA!
That’s gotta hurt though, i also had Cashley’s 1point.
