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.

    So, there are people on here claiming to love football who cant even be bothered to buy Sky Sports to actually watch the football live? Why are they here then? I understand if they're somewhere where they actually can't do that but come on, updates on Twitter, online streaming and MOTD only give you so much.

          also it disrupts arsenal's preparations if they had trained to play against suarez and now have to play against kuyt- also shows a slightly more defensive outlook when playing away; more likely to be 4-5-1 today with kuyt on the wing than last weeks 4-4-2 imo
