Sunday Dugout Discussion

There’s only one televised Premier League fixture today, but with blockbuster games kicking off earlier at Carrow Road and Molineux, we’ve opened the Dugout Discussion chatroom so you can pour over all of today’s action.

We’re at Carrow road first, where Norwich City shortly begin their home campaign. They come up against a Stoke City side perhaps a little worse for wear after their midweek Europa League venture. Half an hour later, Fulham (another team having to cope with extra European commitments) travel up to face Mick McCarthy’s Wolves.

After that, it’ll be time to tune in to watch Gary and Jamie set-up a potential cracker between Bolton and Man City, with both sides looking to top the table.

So join us in the Dugout Discussion, which will stay open throughout the day to soak up your views on the action.

    So here's a thought..

    About a million people have transfered Aguero in this week, and while i was close myself I cant help but think IF Tevez stays they surely wont be playing both of them together since theyr play styles are so similar. They need Dzeko to compliment them and he has tbh, looked the part so far, and I really like his willingness and work rate from these last two games.

    Good differential? and cheap compared!!

          It is a good team, stick with it. Not worth using your wc. If torres scores 2 next week and bent nothing you will be going for torres in and bent out? Too many people are looking at the current gw scores. Those 12-14 year old who are laughing when somebody they did not pick scores 2...well, you will not be hearing from them during the 2 half of the season.

          I was so close to playing the WC just out of frustration. All 2's on the pitch and i got 20 points on the bench(Simpson, Vorm etc.)

          But honestly, if you think about it would you do anything different for this week if you had the cnahce? I know I wouldn't. With perhaps the exception of keeping the faith in RVP. He's good, but The Arse are fu*ked.

          I'm gonna hold strong. For all i know, next week I'll have clean sheets for baines, Kolarov and Cashley, plus TOrres grabs a brace. THis is the beauty of football!

      i have had a similarly poor week (with a large amount of points on my bench)

      this week will be low scoring in general so if you have picked wisely based on fixtures i would wait at least one more week and re-assess.

      i am very tempted to avoid torres's inevitable price drop tho for suarez.
