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.

    "A quick bit of injury news from Harry Redknapp in the wake of Spurs win against Sunderland. Aaron Lennon has torn his hamstring and will miss the match against Chelsea on Thursday, but the club are hopeful Gareth Bale should be fit."

          nothing i can do about it mate. it's all public domain info.

          readily available to all and sundry. you don't even need to have a username or belong to FFS to view it.

          just come to this site, view the PP cup results and you can find virtually all you need to know.

            that might be the case but if a team is not linked doesn't that tell you that people dont want that info to be put on here ?

            You could easily have posted GreenDreams everyone would have understood who you were referring to rather than post my surname that nobody knew who you were talking about. Whats that all about ?

              if you have a problem with your team info (and your name) being made public, contact the FFS site.

              i'm just resourceful.

                its not really the point though it is. I dont go onto other peoples details, get their surnames (especially when their team isn't linked) and blurt it out on here when i could easily refer to them using the nick that everyone knows them by.. So, i'll ask again, what was that all about ?

                  you obviously didn't have any problems when the FFS site decided to link all the teams to the usernames in the PP Cup link.

                  your team and profile have been available for EVERYONE TO SEE, AT ALL TIMES.

                  so what's your problem now?
