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.

    At least we don't have too long to go before next GW.

    This GW is a complete disaster.

    Ramsey one-touches that and Arse would be ahead.

    Instead, he fails. Shocker.

            I'm on 50 now, after baps I expect around 60. Looking at my team it doesn't actually look that impressive. And I've some decent points on the bench.

            Loads of people who have given up will still have Rooney captain. Lots of autosubs this week too. I do expect it to be low 40's.

              look at other game weeks for reference. It will not be at 40. Your 50 is very high. You will be at 1-10k overall this gw.

        This BP-inspired fascination with shots-on-target is a bit silly.

        Straw-clutching should be a more personal, quiet experience.

      Don't blame him - he so rarely plays beyond the 70th minute, he's a bit lost.
