Saturday Dugout Discussion

Now the gameweek begins and just like that the hulking Saturday Surgery regresses into it’s much less fearsome Bruce Bana-esque Dugout Discussion. Come in if you fancy, we’ve certainly got more than enough games to keep you interested.

We kick off with Stoke playing host to Sunderland this afternoon, a war of attrition looking likely. Tony Pulis recalls the likes of Matty Etherington and Long-throw Delap into his team while Steve Bruce looks like he might be following suit at Liverpool by countering Stoke’s aerial threat with three centre-halves. Sulley Muntari also makes his debut. Teams in full are…

Stoke XI: Begovic; Higginbotham, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross; Delap, Pennant, Whitehead, Etherington; Jones, Carew.

Sunderland XI: Gordon; Onuoha, Ferdinand, Mensah, Bramble (C), Bardsley; Richardson, Henderson, Muntari, Sessegnon; Gyan.

The heavy dose of Saturday football doesn’t end there as we then head on into six 3pm kick-offs and just about round out my Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gameweek before it even starts with ten of my eleven finished by 5pm – the likes of Man City vs West Brom, Everton vs Blackpool and Newcastle vs Arsenal are high on my agenda, who are you tracking?

Then we have Manchester United rounding us out as they pay visit to Mick McCarthy and his Premier League stragglers. Time to watch through my fingers.

The Dugout Discussion will be open through all eight of today’s games right up until the bonus judges hand out their bounty this evening. Stick with us.

      Disgusting. Second game in a row we've had comedy reffing.

      You can't deny Arsenal were poor in the second half, but a soft red, and two non-red cards.

          I don't think I've ever seen a referee so blatantly grab a game by the scuff of the neck and make enough bad decisions to turn it around so dramatically.

              He did send off Abidal though.

              Dowd really seemed to fancy the 4-4 as soon as he got the chance to send off Diaby, rather than Barton.

            I do agree that the first penalty should never in a million years have been given, however in the second koscielny (or Rosicky, whoever pushed williamson) had his arms out stretched and clattered into the guy in mid-air. Harsh, but as the expression goes "You see them given."

            Will you ever blame a loss on the Arsenal players? Ever? Diaby is the villain of that piece, bless him.
