Apologies for the short post – my recent arrival has, understandably I hope, left me stretched for time to procrastinate. Besides, all there really is to say is that our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to cover today’s games.

It all starts at Old Trafford, with the humdinging clash between rivals United and Liverpool. Tasty.

Share your views as the day’s actions unfolds right here.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

            I can't believe Saha and Ade play so well together. How can you even put VDV back into that team, now?

            Bale missing just sucks. That is 3 straight red arrows for me, Nino. I'm falling apart, here. I was SO CLOSE to the top 1k, too.

              Yeah there's no way VDV can play up-front. He'd have to play down the wing, where I thought Kranjcar was exuding brilliance.

              Amazing team at the moment. Simply awesome.

              You never know about City away, especially under pressure of catching United now. Hopefully Villa will be at their best leaky selves 😉

    As controversial as this may appear, does anyone else find Pakistani Liverpool/Man Utd fans incredibly annoying..?

    I'm Facebook friends with a couple, and the groups they're members of have these amazing conversations about football that betray their complete lack of knowledge and general awareness of all things football.

    Bunch of glory seekers if you ask me and about as obvious as a Chelsea fan from Hong Kong (I know plenty of those too).
