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.

    The temptation to come across all hysteric is strong, Newcastle having just demolished local rivals Sunderland. Really good team performance, with standout efforts from Nolan, Barton, Carroll, Ameobi and the increasingly impressive Tiote. Gutierrez deserves a mention too, he looks like he is really enjoying his football at the moment he is exactly the sort of direct threatening winger that Liverpool could do with. Thankfully he'll stay at the bigger club 😉
    However all the excitement must be tempered by the realisation that it is Arsenal away next, don't use an early transfer for a player you would undoubtedly bench next game.

          If memory serves me during the World Cup press conferences. The younger German players were able to string together coherent responses, to various questions posed to them by the press.

          It was quiet clear that not only were they not only schooled in the 'dark arts' of the media, but they were also intelligent young men. Able to keep their mouths closed while listening.
