Dugout Discussion

Sunday Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion opens this afternoon, hoping for a similar goal glut witnessed in yesterday’s edition. We’ve two games to pour over, with all four clubs with something to play for. Later we’ll be at White Hart Lane where Tottenham continue to chase Champions League qualification against relegation fighting Blackburn. Before that there’s a West London derby at Stamford Bridge, between Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Terry, Cole, Mata, Essien, Lampard, Sturridge, Torres, Kalou.

QPR: Kenny, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Hill, Taiwo, Mackie, Barton, Derry, Buzsaky, Cisse, Zamora.

As expected, Roberto Di Matteo has tinkered with his line-up ahead of of a huge night in Munich, but somewhat surprisingly there are still starts for the likes of Juan Mata and Frank Lampard.

The visitors name an attacking line-up, with Djibril Cisse partnering Bobby Zamora up front.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open – with moderators will be on hand to resolve any issues – and can be accessed right here.

    Sadly, we had a small minority deliberately attempting to ruin the chatroom experiences for other users during yesterday's games. This included impersonating admins and making false calls on goals. Please note - when using the chatroom, admins always appear in bold at the top of the user list in the chatroom.

    We've changed user settings to help prevent such behaviour and monitor/log user activity.

    We will be adding new moderation code to both the site and the chatroom once the season is over and enlisting moderators to help counter such behaviour in the future. We would have taken this measure earlier but, due to the fact that this code touches user permissions on the site, we have been waiting for the business end of the season to pass before rolling this out.

    Apologies to any site visitors who were victims of yesterday's actions by these users
