Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Man City

We have to face it – after the momentous points bonanza of Gameweek 8, this weekend may well be a bit of a comedown.

Six Saturday fixtures will have the task of setting us up for another round of three-figure hauls and, ironically, it all begins with last weekend’s leading man on show as Man City crash Upton Park to take on West Ham.

Sergio Aguero and City will surely face an uncomfortable ride in East London, with the resurgent Hammers giddy at the prospect of facing the champions whilst sitting in fourth place in the table. Fantasy managers will, nonetheless, be anticipating and expecting the Aguero show to rumble on through the home defence: the Argentine sports the armband for many and we’ll look for at least one goal from him amongst the huff and puff of today’s early kick-off.

Following that, we’ve just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, before Swansea host Leicester in a gentle-looking evening clash to see us out.

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

    Blowing Bubbles gives me goosebumps. Got a soft spot for West Ham, top club with top, top fans

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It just makes me think how childish West Hams fans are.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        that's harsh elokobi!

    2. Lucy.

      Not according to the West Ham fans I know. They say the atmosphere at Upton Park can be poisonous.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I've been twice and the atmosphere has been great. That being said, when things are going wrong, they're really edgy

        1. Lucy.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Apparently there was a lot is counterproductive negativity last season, even when the results were good.

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I think it was the Hull game, where they won and booed their team off

            1. Lucy.
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Not behaviour befitting of 'top, top fans'.

    3. RabMac
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      They have a lot of scumbag fans, who are very racist and fascist.

      Couldn't agree less

    Who would you rather have for the next few gws:

    A - hazard and chadli (have fab)
    B - Sanchez and downing (have welbeck)

  14. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I'd give my left nut for Aguero to go 90 mins without scoring. I wouldn't like to see him injured.

      You have your priorities in the right place

    Are West Ham moving stadium next season?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      they are extending this stadium for Olympics I think..

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, should be ready in time for 2012....

    2. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yep off to the Olympic stadium. Where they'll fill half the stadium.

  17. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    37 games into the season and Aguero hasn't had an injury I still think the non owners will go on about his hamstring.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      and he will likely get a rest for the League Cup midweek

  18. DRY PEANUT
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero is going to slip on a bubble

    Bit the bullet and took the -4 for DDG to Lloris

    Hopefully it pays of this week but it's long term transfer that should make it back for me in the long run

    Lloris has better fixtures and far more upside than DDG as he actually gets saves if Spurs don't keep a CS

            Heh... thank you but it's a n00b mistake. I left it on "Pick team" and all looked lovely... go to "Points" and that sinking feeling hits.
