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.

      Henderson is shocking. Liverpool need to attack this inexperience arsenal defence. I reckon Henderson --> Suarez. I damn hope so

      Great save by Reina though. That shot was low and going for corner. Why on earth is Liverpools best player not playing? Injured?

    Cant work out why Carroll got booked then. I know he kicked the ball away but he may not have heard the whistle. After the balotelli incident in preseason when he back heeled wide after thinking he was offside, he got slated. Alot of ex pros came out and said he should have put the ball in the net. And refs want more respect as well. 🙁

      Simpson still looks the more reliable bet, if not the more spectacular. That's my excuse.
