New GW32 Wildcard Poll

[sbu_large_image] Fixtures

Sunday’s Dugout Discussion

3 October 2010 1954 comments

Akers

After a reasonably low-scoring Saturday (for me at least), we have three remaining Sunday afternoon fixtures to increase our tallies. And with the four most selected captains in action today, according to our poll, we have every chance.

The first of two televised games sees Roberto’s Mancini’s Manchester City play host to Newcastle United. The headline team news for the 1:30pm game is that Newcastle leave striker, and fantasy favourite, Andy Carroll on the bench for the first time this season. For Man City, Jerome Boateng starts his first league game and Adam Johnson is once again on the bench, despite scoring mid-week…

Man City: Hart, Boateng, Toure, Kompany, Lescott, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Toure Yaya, Milner, Tevez
Newcastle: Krul, Perch, Williamson, Coloccini, Jose Enrique, Ben Arfa, Nolan, Tiote, Barton, Gutierrez, Ameobi

Then, on the other channel, Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea at 4pm, where both clubs are looking to bounce back from defeats last week. Elsewhere, and not on the box, 18th-placed Liverpool take on 16th-placed Blackpool at 3pm.

As always, the Dugout Discussion will be with you throughout the day. Enjoy.

Think I've been saved from a Gerrard armband and Alex on the bench by lack of obvious big player bonuses.

  Milner was so bad, one of the commentators said how tired and sluggish he looked, and the other said he'd be ill with a virus all week. Maybe the 1bp was for being a brave little soldier.

Other than choosing Dann over Elmo, having flicked between them a number of times, oh and the ludicrous transfer in of Kuyt (Mark where are you), I had a decent week 50 points. Even Milner managed to finally get something.
BTW Sven at Leicester, utter disgrace get rid of an up and coming manager and replacing him with old rope.

      It's clearly a bit of grandstanding from the owners, and Sven is a bit of a merc, but he is a competent manager - he can be a success. Not to say he will, this could be the start of many appointments of this nature and a tumultuous time ahead - which won't be good.
      
      I'm not not happy with it, for now I'm willing to see it out. As I was with Sousa - who I wasn't a great fan of - who I would have been content keeping for longer but am not surprised at the departure.
