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.

        Well, in derby matches anything can happen. Playing Krul was the right choice in hindsight, because he was at home.

        Bringing in Odemwingie could still pay off for you. What if he scores big tomorrow? Blackpool have only kept one clean sheet all season and that was on the opening day!

                      Ive been through this with you before GGGGGGGGranville, this is the first time in about two years that he's been in a position to do it due to injuries, its hardly the same as Fergie doing a U turn last year because he was scared of City.

                      Injuries rubbish, he's often made 11 changes from the weekend game and played almost the whole youth side in the CC. It's a U-turn, so what, no need to defend it. Fergie U-turned and played a strong side against Citeh because we simply wanted it that way. We wanted to win silverware and at the same time stop Citeh from winning it. There's no shame in that.
                      Arsenal against Stoke last year in the FA cup, that was a weakened side he played but when Wenger does it it's because he has to, when Fergie does it it's disrespecting the competition. Never known double standards like yours, and why do you have this huge anti-United obsessive streak in you, it's beyond ridiculous, I've seen I've never known anything like it and I've been mixing with fans from other clubs for years.

                      How is it rubbish, he is hardly going to risk the first team if so many of it are injured as the league and CL are more important and he's never hidden from this, the Arsenal first team has been young for a number of years, the second string is even younger, it makes no sense to take the risk as unlike United, City and Chelsea he never had the luxury of having subs that cost 15-18m.

                      Why do I dislike United as a club? They are the original Blackburn/Chelsea/City/Cheque book champs, the hypocrisy of the situation is you lot hating on City or Chelsea for doing things your way.

        "1629: What is up with Joe Cole do we think? He's not clicked into gear since his move to Anfield at all - and he's just spooned a rather poor effort over the bar from the edge of the area here. I thought he was going to be a barn-storming signing for Liverpool, I really did."

          I thought he played well. Might get 1 if he's lucky. Nolan of course for max bonus and Shola should get 2.

        What a sucess,this week has proved to be 🙂

        Played Krul over Foster.

        Bosingwa and Oshea benched[I know both of them are risks,but during the same week!!]

        VDV injury and 2 Points!

        Captain Fab..well we all know how that turned out.

        If not for Nani sneaking up on Gomes I would have ended up with a 20 pointer 😀

            Not at all. As you correctly point out, Enriqué had done absolutely nothing for me, and Elmo has scored well.

        team as it stands at the moment -

        Foster/Hahnemann
        Elmo, Coleman, Alex, Konchesky, Tamas
        Malouda, Fabs, Nani, Bale, Brunt
        Drogba, Berbatov, Carroll

        No money in the bank and only 1 free transfer this week

        Do you think there are any pressing transfers to be made for my team? The only one I think may prove worthwhile is Konchesky to Dann?

        At 11:25 yesterday I was wondering whether to take a 12 point hit in order to get fabregas and taylor fletcher for nolan and tevez. seemed it could be an okay transfer thinking arsenal could demolish west ham. So i asked my girlfriend to either say yes or no and from that i would make my decision. "Yes" being make the transfer and "No" being dont make the transfer. The bitch said yes...
