Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Man United Vs Tottenham

It’s here. The new Premier League season is upon us and begins within the fitting confines of the “theatre of dreams”.

Old Trafford hosts the season opener, as Louis van Gaal’s freshly sculpted Manchester Untied lineup host Tottenham.

It’s a lip-smacking, sun drenched prospect, played on a billiard table of a surface, with an array of Fantasy talent on show.

Immediately we hope to assess the prospects of both Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane – two protagonists who will surely play some part in our seasons, if not our Gameweek 1 lineups.

Following that, we’ve a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs and a tea-time date with the champions.

It’s great to be back.

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

  6. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Glad I only chose Rooney today.... So far anyway.

    Gutted I didn't choose a Utd defender though.

    1. Heydudes13
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Decent FPL start from Rooney, 5 v Spurs.

      Attack needs to improve next game though

  7. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    If only the game was this exciting for the full 90.

  8. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Still feel Walcott (C) is a good choice for tomorrow B-)

  9. The_Socca_Philosopha

    8 years, 9 months ago

    Apparently "niggly" is a word ... Thank you English commentators haha

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

    2. inter the wild
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      yes it begins with the same 4 letters as that bad word Americans are so obsessed about

      1. The_Socca_Philosopha
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Really? I wouldn't have noticed. Apparently Americans aren't the only ones obsessed with it Inter The Wild

        1. inter the wild
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          you won't hear it spoken, in real life or in the media, either as an insult or for comic effect in the UK

          in america it seems to be used as a filler in most sentences.

    1. Heydudes13
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

    Chadli furthest forward at this point

    1. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He was at the beginning too, it looked like he was playing as a false 9.

      • 14 Years

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah getting lucky wins and not conceding is definitely gonna harm their chances..

  15. Thick Of It
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Chadli if the ball is back passed to the keeper rather than turning away how about chasing the ball down? Such a wimp for a big fella.
