Dugout Discussion

Sunday Dugout Discussion

Sunday delivers a double header of lip-smacking ties, as old rivals United and Liverpool clash at Old Trafford, whilst Arsenal host City in the four o’clock kick-off. With a host of big Fantasy assets on show, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to catch the real-time yelps and cries as events unfold.

The team news for the lunchtime kick-off finds Sir Alex Ferguson opting for the experienced pairing of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand at the back, with Jonny Evans reportedly missing out with a hamstring problem. Elsewhere in the United lineup, Danny Welbeck is drafted in, along with Shinji Kagawa as Antonio Valencia and the rather unfortunate Javier Hernandez drop to the bench.

Visitors Liverpool make just one change: Joe Allen comes into the midfield with Jordan Henderson dropping out. Andre Wisdom again occupies the right-back role, then, with Glen Johnson deployed at left-back. Both Daniel Sturridge and the returning Fabio Borini find places on the bench.

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

    dribbler says:

    (a) racism is discriminating against people because of their colour or race
    (b) people were confused whether walcott or wilshire got a yellow card
    (c) somebody said “they don’t exactly look the same”
    (d) I replied to his post saying “all black people look alike to me” (or something very similar)
    (e) this was a joke
    (f) this joke in no way discriminated against anyone
    (g) somebody with a black footballer in his gravataar is hardly likely to be racist

      Your problem is that A is incorrect
      Racism is judging people or a group of people because of their colour or race.
      To say Irish people are nice is racist, as it is grouping them as one and all the same.
      To say black people all look alike is very very racist.

        All it took was that to go in for your assumption to be wrong.
