The breeze from the doors closing on the Saturday Surgery can still be felt on Fantasy Manager’s faces as the Dugout Dicussion opens up for another full day of football action.

The local derby of Sunderland hosting Newcastle kicks off at noon at the request of their police forces.

This starts off the six games we have to look forward to, across four different kick-off times, in total today. As the half time oranges start getting handed out at the Stadium of Light we’ll then see Arsenal and Liverpool kick off affairs in front of the television cameras.

A trio of three o’clock kick-offs join the deluge of Football League fixtures before Chelsea round out the day at home to West Brom as poll topper Fernando Torres will either make or spoil many weekend’s – looks like Saturday night Shandy’s will be in order whatever the result.

The Dugout Discussion stays through all the action as we take in our first proper and fully functioning (fingers crossed!) gameweek.

      How can someone so short be so f'kin stiff jesus. It's kinda funny, Sagna's doing all the work for him and you caan tell no one wants to play through him. Frimpong is strong though, he would do much better on that side. Arshavin: where buildups go to die. Poor Theo getting no service on the right.

      I would say they've locked us all out to do updates, and clearing server lists. Lets just say they've tried it the other way and it doesn't work for the set-up they have. I figured they'd do it this way as one week is not enough to to re-groom what I would assume is a s**t load of servers.

              What did people think was gonna happen, I told people, and the whole Downing-Carroll symbiosis was nil, I wouldn't stick with it either if I was Downing. It's just too easy of a scouting assignment to work in this modern age. Not to mention he's not knocking enough balls down to people on the move, as a matter of fact, he's the only person making runs in the channel.
