Sunday Dugout Discussion

With presumably the vast majority of your fantasy squad in action yesterday (or to play tomorrow), today the somewhat unfashionable teams are in action looking to impress.

First up is Blackburn Rovers Vs. Aston Villa at Ewood Park…

The home side make one significant change from their expected line-up, as super-sub Jason Roberts finally gets the nod ahead of Nikola Kalinic.

For Villa, Stephen Ireland makes a return to the side, at the expense of the impressive Mark Albrighton. Blast-from-the-past Robert Pires makes the bench.

Here are the line-ups in full…

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Dunn, Jones, Pedersen, Hoilett, Roberts, El-Hadji Diouf

Aston Villa XI: Friedel, Luke Young, Dunne, Clark, Warnock, Downing, Ireland, Hogg, Bannan, Ashley Young, Agbonlahor

Then it’s off to Craven Cottage, as Fulham host under-pressure Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City, in the 4pm kick-off.

Finally, if like me you no players involved today, there’s the wait to see how many places in the overall rankings you’ll slide as a result.

As always, all this action can be followed with a visit to our Dugout Discussion, which will remain open throughout the day.

              Didn't he say that bloody ages ago? I don't thikn there is any doubt about his quality. it's just his attitude that's stinking up the place. When you have so many youth players you can't let the old guard whinge and complain at them every 3 minutes. Fergie showed him who was boss and to get his act together. It's why he's the best manager the planet has ever seeeeen.

        Cheers - no Fulham (well unless Kelly gets in again) sub 4.6 so Sunderland it might be (unless I give Bolton a go).

        OR, it could be a match made in heaven. Think about it, party with manager all night and thrash teams in the morning om the pitch(That's what ithink it wud be a like if a movie was made on this subject with a positive spin)

          Both off them being welsh didnt even cross my mind but they are both class "A" twats. They're always looking to start a fight thats why they should be in a boxing ring.
