Saturday Dugout Discussion

There’s not one, but two lunchtime kick-offs in the Premier League today, and the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and ready for a full day of football. We start at Villa Park in a matter of minutes, whilst the game at the DW Stadium is set to go at half past.

Once the dust has settled from Adel Taarabt announcing himself to the Premier League and Darren Bent scoring the first hattrick of the season, we have a somewhat meagre offering of just three 3 p.m. fixtures…

Blackburn and Everton do battle at Ewood Park, each side desperate for their first league point of the campaign. Swansea host Sunderland, who will both fancy their chances of earning a first win of the season. And then there’s Fernando Torres, with his belligerent of fantasy owners, all praying he finally nets today at home to the Canaries.

Finally, we’ll be off to Torres’ old stomping ground Anfield, where Liverpool and Bolton meet in today’s evening game.

All of which can be followed right here, in the Dugout Discussion chatroom.

    Tbh the bench is probably Cahill's best position these days. They play much better football without him.
    So why the Feck did I pick him you ask? Good fecking question.

      The world has changed. National identity, certainly within sport, has changed forever with increasing diversity within ethnicity/race/culture/whatever in each country.

    Is that 'I Know The Score' game running again this season?

    I didn't really take part in it after the first couple of weeks as it was boring, and I stopped logging in to make predictions, but I'm just interested if the organisers thought it was w*nk too and cancelled it! 🙂
