Monday Dugout Discussion

So Sam Allardyce was sacked? That’s odd. Onto bigger and better things undoubtedly for all; and to cheer us up from this solemn news is none other than a top of the table clash between Manchester United and Arsenal. Perfect Monday evening entertainment.

United revert to their 451/433 formation which has been a success in recent games against Arsenal, five goals in his most recent game isn’t enough for Berbatov to convince Fergie to alter his tactics. Everyone’s favourite tongue teaser Wojciech Szczesny starts in goal for Arsenal as his compatriot Lukas Fabianski fails to pass muster, Cesc Fabregas is only good enough for a place on the bench. Teams in full are…

United XI: Van Der Sar; Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra; Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson; Nani, Rooney, Park

Arsenal XI: Szczesny; Sagna, Koscielny, Squillaci, Clichy; Song, Wilshere; Nasri, Rosicky, Arshavin; Chamakh

Whether you are a red or a red, or a neutral, the Dugout Discussion will be open for the evening to take in this battle in full flow.

    Since we're having a laugh at other people's expense, have a look at my mate's team this week. He took a 12 point hit, took Carroll out, got Rooney and RVP in. I need to call him to check he's actually OK.

            the simple fact is that the modern world is built on peopole buying shit they dont need. Its really really simple. Its the huge joke of our species- thats why the monkeys are always laughing at us in the zoo. THere is NO HOPE for mankind. fcuk everything you can get a boner for, and be nice to the animals and old people, and dont give a mistake a second thought but register it so you dont waste time making them again. Thats how to live.

      Carrol's next 4 scores could easily be: 2, 2, 2, 8

    Qualified for the cup, piece of cake.

    Don't think I've ever been 10 points below the average though. Bring on the next gameweek, please.

        Hate to say it as you seem like a good guy but I think he was poor today, and not THAT good against Valencia either.

        If I had him I'd obviously keep but don't hold your breath - there might be some more time before he's back to his best.

          I agree that he was not at his very best today, but apart from that penalty miss I reckon he provided a lot of threat and could very easily have had an assist with anderson's chance.....
