Sunday Dugout Discussion

This Sunday brings a whole host of soccer action across the globe. Right now Santos are trying valiantly to hold off Barcelona in Japan while in the evening there’s some tasty action on the continent. The Dugout Discussion opens for the juicy Premier League filling in this football sandwich…

QPR play host to Manchester United in an earlier than normal kick-off as Gary Neville sets in for a triple header of televised “Super Sunday” fixtures – with a fourth game off screens for good measure.

Neil Warnock drafts in Matthew Connolly for the injured Anton Ferdinand while Heidar Helguson returns from injury himself. Ferguson must have a temperature as he makes the rare decision to field an unchanged side from that which beat Wolves – his usual fables on the injury front also show Javier Hernandez fit enough to return to the bench. Teams in full are…

QPR XI: Cerny; L Young, Connolly, Gabbidon, Traore; Wright-Phillips, Barton, Faurlin, Mackie; Helguson, Bothroyd (Subs: Kenny, Orr, Hill, Derry, Taarabt, Campbell, Smith).

United XI: De Gea; Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Jones, Nani; Rooney, Welbeck (Subs: Berbatov, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Young, Lindegaard, Fryers.).

Fantasy Managers will then have to settle in for not just Aston Villa hosting Liverpool but Manchester City against Arsenal on television screens. Plenty of captain’s armbands will be following Spurs vs Sunderland also going on while these two games take place.

This Dugout Discussion is also my last planned contribution for quite some time so I’ll wish you all many happy returns over the hectic festive period of football coming up while I’m here. Thanks for your continued support over what’s been a grand old 2011.

    Tosey, if you're still logged on (or any other knowledgable folk pls...)

    How can I improve on this team? I feel like I'm stuck in a rut...

    Vorm / Ruddy

    Walker / Evans / Brown / Simpson / Boyata

    Mata / Nani / Bale / Silva / Johnson (Norw)

    Ba / Ade / RVP

    .3 left in the bank (no WC, down to 1 free next gw)

    Cheers!

      Really??? Or are you having a laugh here? Why would you be changing that team? forward line is grand. Mid field is very string. Defenders are fairly good too, would prefer someone other to Ruddy as my spare keeper. Walker is grand, Evans looks like he'll keep his place. Brown and Boyata would be the only 2 I'm not interested in.

        Just checking if there's some scope for flexibility with any tasty fixtures that may be on the cards.

        Cheers tho chaps, I'll stick then 🙂

      Looks good, maybe think about getting rid of Bale if he's out midweek too. You can always get him back in the Jan WC.

    This is now all set up for Nicklas Bendtner to score the winner against his former North London rivals and then perform an elaborate goal celebration in which he begs for pizza in Danish while pretending to stamp on some taxis with Lee Cattermole.

      61'GOAL! SPURS IN FRONT! PAVLYUCHENKO SCORES IT! A lovely move from Spurs, made by a super pass from Van der Vaart and a no-nonsense low finish from the Russian. He'd been quiet until then, but he has swung the game the way of the hosts.
