Wednesday’s Dugout Discussion

2 February 2011 2115 comments

Share:

Six more Premier League matches, six more opportunities to add to our Gameweek totals – sadly, after last night’s heavyweight bouts, the Fantasy talent on show looks somewhat limited.

Carlos Tevez will carry the hopes of some as City take on Birmingham at St Andrews, Dutch maestro Rafael Van der Vaart will do his bit for Spurs at Blackburn. Elsewhere, the ever-popular wantaway Charlie Adam will be spraying passes around and over the accommodating West Ham defence and Clint Dempsey will be shooting on sight with Newcastle dropping by the Cottage.
Aside from that, we will all be hoping to find clean sheets. There might just be more chance of finding Germaine Greer on Andy Gray’s Facebook friend list.

Follow the fortunes of all these players and Johan Elmander’s latest attempt at prising the wheel clamp from his bandwagon, in tonight’s Dugout Discussion chatroom. The doors are open. Granville’s doing the teas.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Try not to interrupt all the desperately-seeking-anything Kolarov owners ... they have walked a long road. This finally gives validation to their endless hopes and dreams.

      Personally, though, +1.

      I'm wondering what will happen aswell, if he doesn't concede and there's say 5 minutes of added time will he have qualified for playing 60 mins? I think he should have. Because if a player concedes in the 90th odd minute they lose there points so it shouldn't be different.

      I think it's

      Skrtel-Kyrgi-Agger

      Kuyt

      Kelly and Johnson as wing backs
