Unfortunately for many of us out there the clocks only went back by one hour last night, and not twenty-four. There’s no chance to reverse any of those duff decisions made so fantasy managers can only move forward with an early kick-off – to prevent any of that rabble rousing malarkey – in the Birmingham derby. The teams are in and are as follows…

Aston Villa XI: Friedel; Luke Young, Dunne, Clark, Collins, Warnock; A Young, Reo-Coker, Sidwell, Downing; Heskey.

Birmingham XI: Foster; Carr, Johnson, Ridgewell, Dann;, Larsson, Gardner, Ferguson, Fahey, Hleb; Zigic

As this non-televised game draws to a close we head northward bound for another derby, this time up at St. James’ Park as the Tyne and Wear sides to pit their wits against each other. Can Steve Bruce topple the club he supports? Finally today, Bolton will be welcoming Roy Hodgson’s men to the Reebok Stadium as Liverpool look to build on their victory against Blackburn last week.

All of this can be dissected through the day by you and your like minded managers here and in the now open Dugout Discussion.

                Oh. That's not very inspiring is it?

                United are probably paying way over the odds for him too.

                PS is that the same guy that said United were going to buy back Ronaldo? he seems reliable.

                  Didn't say they were going to: said they were trying to. Obviously not going to happen, so don't be so MFaulkner about it.

                  Henderson, well, i don't expect you to see his qualities because he's english, not french after all.

        2 Carroll goals with the assists by Krul would go down a treat.

    Here’s a question my Sunday Indo, didn’t have a match report on the Man U Spurs game, is it too much to ask for, it wasn’t played at 12.a.m. like, also there’s a guy called Dion Fanning who’s Dad owns the paper and gave him a job and today he wrote that Newcastle play their home games at White Hart Lane, I want my fecking money back.
