While the footballing community rightly reels from the frankly unfathomable and tragic news of Gary Speed’s passing, the Dugout Discussion opens in more solemn tones in shock at this news…

Our first of two fixtures today is in Wales where, rather perversely now, Speed had been seeming to build a bright future for football in his home country. Whether many of the Welsh players (on both sides) are in the right mind is hard to tell but the fixture of Swansea vs Aston Villa will go ahead as planned. Teams in full are…

Swansea XI: Vorm; Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor; Britton, Allen, Gower, Dyer, Sinclair; Graham

Villa XI: Given; Hutton, Collins, Dunne, Warnock; Herd, Delph; N’Zogbia, Heskey, Agbonlahor; Bent.

The Premier League weekend will then finish with the big fixture of the weekend as Kenny Dalglish’s Moneyball squad come up against the Nouveau riches of Manchester City.

RIP Gary Speed.

    Well with kompany scoring I think I have my PP cup tie won.
    Added bonuses are warnock and kompany, who are players I was was worried about dropping in price next week. But now since one got a clean sheet and the other scored this may not happen.

      Playing solo upfront.. It's going to be hard for him to get something out of it.. City will probably bring on Dzeko and Balotelli in the second half, taking off Aguero! I have him too. It's a pain.

    probable daft question, but if you Lescott down as first goal scorer at the bookies, would it count as it was an own goal?
    If not does it then become the next goal scorer, or are all first goal scorer bet nullified from that point.

      Daft question as Kompany scored 1st! But you're right, if the first goal is an OG then the next player to score gets first goalscorer.

      Also, if you're going to bet on a 0-0, it's better to bet on no goalscorer - it's always the same odds as a 0-0 but if the only goal is an OG you still win!

    Best part is that I thought so hard about Enrique vs Kompany. Decided both have an equal chance for a CS but Enrique slightly higher chance of attacking points. So Enrique is going to end up in my playing XI and Kompany will remain sat on my bench.
