Sunday Dugout Discussion

We open the Dugout Discussion for the final four fixtures of the gameweek, and the month, before we take our first International Break breather.

Newcastle versus Fulham kicks us off with the home side calling in Peter Lovenkrands for the now departed Joey Barton and Leon Best filling a Shola Ameobi sized void. The visitors meanwhile welcome Chris Baird and Matthew Briggs at the back with a host of changes made to their midfield and attack…

Newcastle XI: Krul, Simpson, Steven Taylor, Coloccini, Ryan Taylor, Lovenkrands, Cabaye, Tiote, Gutierrez, Obertan, Best

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Briggs, Hughes, Hangeland, Baird, Dempsey, Murphy, Sidwell, Duff, Dembele, Kasami.

Half an hour later Spurs are left to pick themselves up from their defeat to Man United to welcome Man City for their first home game of the season.

Despite talk of an impending departure for Peter Crouch he lines up for ‘Arry with Luka Modric also in the mixer. Roberto Mancini rewards Micah Richards with a new contract and a place on the bench as he, Aleksander Kolarov and James Milner drop out for Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy and new signing Samir Nasri…

Spurs XI: Friedel; Corluka, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Kranjcar, Modric, Bale; Van der Vaart, Crouch.

Man City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Barry, Yaya, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko

The Dugout Discussion will be around for all four games as West Brom vs Stoke and, the big one, Man United vs Arsenal round out the day, week and month.

    Can i just say once more that getting the bonus points aeons later than the games is rubbish. When do the rankings finally get updated on any given gameweek? Monday? Tuesday? Christmas? Bah humbug. 🙂

      I really really liked having the bonus points to wait for when the games were finished on the Sat/Sun too

        Yes! It was a trivial pleasure in life, but a pleasure nonetheless. No matter how random they were.

          The trivial pleasures are often the best ones, as noted philosophers such as Kant, Barton and Thoreau would say.

            Was it Thoreau who said, 'Simplify, simplify'? I got that from Calvin and Hobbes (who were named after philosophers themselves...)

              If you want a good read of that kind I highly recommend his book Walden. It's great.

      I'm worried he will, hoping he doesn't. Fortunately, my main rivals took him out for Torres after week 1 so I won't suffer too much if he does. Hoping Arsenal score (preferably RVP since I've just brought him in for GW4) as a United clean sheet would be bad news for me.
