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.

    Why are people jeering at those with Brown in their team? What's he done? Anything beyond the concession of a goal?
