Sunday Dugout Discussion

2,298 Comments
Share

Here we are then, the final day. Will we get a dramatic climax or will City close out the title in a cool, efficient manner? Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up the reactions as the Fantasy season draws to end with the day’s ten three o’clock kick-offs.

The team news is in and available via our tweets as always. The headlines have Fernando Torres benched in a much-changed Chelsea lineup, while Sir Alex Ferguson plays silly buggers and fields Jonny Evans, 24-hours after announcing he’ll need ankle surgery in the summer. The trickster is playing us right to the end. Roberto Mancini stays cool and fields an unchanged lineup, while Mark Hughes in opposition hopes that a clash with his old side can bring out the magic in Shaun Wright-Phillips – he and Djibril Cisse look to provide the unexpected for visiting QPR.

I’ll be knocking about the chatroom throughout the ninety minutes as the curtain gradually closes on another superb Premier League season. Brace yourselves.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    It really grinds my gears when people complain about the speed of the FPL site, bonus points etc.

    It's a free game for crying out loud, spread over 10 months of the year.

      If blokes at FPL towers are going "it's only a free game, so we don't really care about the 2 million" users, they are unprofessional, to say the least

      I dont think they are though

      they are probably more like "sh*t, why dont our boses recognize the huge potential that having 2 million "sticky" users, and give us more money for development and service!?!"#$#$ "

      I think you're missing the point, it was never an issue before as it was updated a matter of a couple hours after the last game of the day. The game site has since been 'upgraded' but the speed of all updates have slowed considerably spoiling the enjoyment for many. It was free before so that argument is irrelevant!

                He moans when other managers dont conduct themselves in a way "he" sees fit but then mentions the 5 minutes of injury time that city won the game in. Lack of dignity that is. you think what you want but it would be much better if he just congratulated city properly rather than in an underhanded manner. p.s. no need to get personal. we are talking about SAF

              So he was a little disappointed obviously seeing as QPR nearly had the league wrapped up for them. He still went on to congratulate City unreservedly so I don't see him as a twat or lacking dignity.

          Sanil texts: "Fergie asked for a stupid result... looks like he might just get it."

          Stephen in Mirfield texts: "What next on this crazy day? Tony Hibbert to score?!"

          1631:

          Steady on, Stephen...

          1632:

          City are piling on the pressure. Corner after corner in to the QPR box now, but can they find a way through?

          1633:
          GOALEverton 3-1 Newcastle - Tony Hibbert OG (73 mins)
          Tony Hibbert has scored, but in his own net. Ryan Taylor pumps a long ball forward, Hibbert gets his angles all wrong and heads it past Tim Howard into the net.

    My letter to Fantasy premierleague!:

    Dear Sir/Madam/Ms,

    Every site that I have looked at has van der Vaart playing 60 minutes, not 59 some even say it was 61 minutes, this may seem picky but this would be pivotal in beating my rival and finishing first in my league, I am not going to lose to a Manchester United supporter!, therefore could you review his points total and adjust if need be, please?

      He grabbed Cabaye by the neck I think but I don't think he'll get deducted points because it happened after the game 😛

    Fergie was talking about how vital goal difference is throughout the season.

    Came back to bite him in the bum!

      Yeah it is vital as he said. Still, to manage to push the league down to goal difference with a squad that is inferior to City's in all areas of the park I'm still fairly impressed. Disappointed but impressed none the less.

        The midfield wasn't up to scratch this season, Carrick the only midfielder to reach 20 appearances and being forced to bring back Scholes showed how weak the squad was compared to Citeh.

        Neither Berba nor Chic lived up to expectations leaving Welbeck & Rooney to score all the goals, which the former can't do!

          Exactly, so to have the league come down to only goal difference is a very good result just disappointing obviously.

      If you don't want him to get all 3, then that's in the realms of slim hope. No bonus at all is in dream world.
