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? Everyone seemed to have Boselli last year and not all that many have Sessegnon. Sessegnon actually seems to be getting shots off and forcing saves. Boselli didn't. Sessegnon will still be getting regular starts 10 games in, Boselli won't.

    Arsenal have no leader, play idiots like walcott, bendtner and arshavin? Can't pass,

      And it was a lucky win. Wilshere, Gibbs, Koscielny, Djorou all injured. Song and Gervinho both suspended.

      All that game showed is that Liverpool are not title contenders.

        Not sure how you can call it lucky because you had players out, it's not like Liverpool had any say in that.

          Sending off + lucky goal made things a bit easy for Suarez and Meireles to hit Arsenal on the break.

          Besides, if Dalglish continues to prefer Henderson and Adam to Raul M, that's his own failing.

          We were average most of the game. But we had key players out. My point is, this game is a fair judgement of where Liverpool and Arsenal are in terms of 4th place or a title challenge.
