Saturday Dugout Discussion

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.

    2 seasons ago James Milner played his last game for villa before a big money move to M.City that had dragged on forever, scored in his last game.

      I asked yesterday should I play him or my Swa defender, I was even considering selling him, but I got answers like he is good long term, he'll become good. So that is it, one CS less. Relax.

    liverpool look really lop-sided here.
    Adam is directing everythign to the left, while enrique and downign are providing plenty of threat out there too - but there is nothing at all going on down the right

    2nd half could see henderson off for suarez and kut switching to thr right IMO
