Dugout Discussion

Sunday Dugout Discussion

Here we are then, the final day. Will we get a dramatic climax or will City close out the title in a cool, efficient manner? Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up the reactions as the Fantasy season draws to end with the day’s ten three o’clock kick-offs.

The team news is in and available via our tweets as always. The headlines have Fernando Torres benched in a much-changed Chelsea lineup, while Sir Alex Ferguson plays silly buggers and fields Jonny Evans, 24-hours after announcing he’ll need ankle surgery in the summer. The trickster is playing us right to the end. Roberto Mancini stays cool and fields an unchanged lineup, while Mark Hughes in opposition hopes that a clash with his old side can bring out the magic in Shaun Wright-Phillips – he and Djibril Cisse look to provide the unexpected for visiting QPR.

I’ll be knocking about the chatroom throughout the ninety minutes as the curtain gradually closes on another superb Premier League season. Brace yourselves.

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

      Most teams raise their money with success/ cup runs so i agree with you. I'm happy for the fans but the club doesn't deserve it, and Tevez/Balotelli don't deserve it.

        United lost by GOAL DIFFERENCE. They only need one or two class players, they have a good team. They should get Falcao to replace Berba. They have Hernandez, Welbeck and Rooney. Jones is developing into a class rb, as is smalling and rafael. And 1 cm will do it, they have great wingers and decent cms already. Falcao and a cdm.

          Raf and Jones will never be World class RBs am afraid. I can see Jones being a world class CB in the future. But if your honest Rafael is a crap defender. The likes of Anderson And Carrick will never be world class and Scholes and giggs cant have much left in there tanks.

      nah, I still hate him though with the way he left Arsenal. but now with fabregas and nasri winning titles, it will be harder for Wenger to keep RVP at Arsenal
