Sunday Dugout Discussion

Sunday brings us three Premier League matches, with events kicking off at midday with the Tyne-Wear derby clash and culminating with the titanic clash at White Hart Lane. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will be around to soak your reactions as the day progresses.

The team news from the Sports Direct Arena brings us no surprises in the Newcastle lineup with Papiss Cisse shaking off a groin problem to partner Demba Ba up front. Martin O’Neill has given us food for thought, however, drafting in Nicklas Bendtner in attack, presumably shifting Stephane Sessegnon to a support role. Jack Colbak makes way, while Phil Bardsley recovers form a calf problem to take his place in the back four.

Enjoy the game, and the Fulham vs Wolves and Tottenham vs Man United clashes later today and pop into to the Dugout Discussion for some real-time Fantasy Football bantering.

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

    In order for united to drop points, someone other than us has to actually play against them without handing them goals, or going to pieces. Norwich last week,took over the game, scored a deserved & predictable equaliser, then shat themselves when they equalised. They were in a position to actually win it but immediately the whole team lost it's shape because the magnitude of actually beating Utd was too much for them & they went into hysterics. They will go hell for leather v us & we will have to play really well to win. Similarly Swansea (who dominated but missed an open net v united).

    Most of the teams Utd have left, are of that type. My only hope for them dropping points is that a couple of the teams may be so focused on avoiding relegation, that they forget they are playing Utd & just get stuck in.

      This was written in response to your post a few pages back!

      Hart -> Reina doesn't seem like a great transfer to me. I'm coming round to the idea that Silva is too expensive for what he offers, downgrading him to Yaya (who is almost guaranteed to play every game for the rest of the season) would allow you to do Welbeck -> Rooney, then Santon -> Skrtel? I'm losing faith with Newcastle in general, they don't really have anything left to play for either as Europa is probably out of the question.

      What I suggest is one Fulham attacker in Dempsey because they aren't going to be playing Wolves at home every week. If you want Pogrebnyak you have to give up a striker position that should be reserved to big players in my opinion.

    Brian Messiah. To answer your question about Micah. We don't know for sure if he will start but you pick Richards, Zabaleta plays. You bring in Clichy and Kolarov smashes it. Kolarov starts to look a prospect after 3/4 starts on the bounce and Clichy starts, scores & gets a CS.

    You take out Richards this week and he will score nicely @ Swansea. It's just the way it is with City full-backs this season.
