The Saturday Surgery

24 November 2012 357 comments

A wet and windy Saturday is warmed by a dozen Premier League fixtures, beginning with Sunderland’s clash with the Baggies with the Stadium of Light and culminating in Arsenal’s trip to Villa Park this evening. In between, Robin Van Persie will wear the Fantasy armband for thousands as QPR turn up at Old Trafford hoping the incentive of the new broom will help them stand up to the United assault.

Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open, signally the start of our the Gameweek, with just over an hour to go before the deadline drops.

The day’s Dugout Discussion follows around 12.30, with a philosophical preamble on the way in the next half hour.

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

    1) Ivanovic > Enrique/BAE

    Have to do 1) to facilitate 2), if either

    Is it worth waiting for Fellaini’s return or is his run of fixtures too tough?
    Is Enrique guaranteed a start and will Liverpool’s defence outperform Chelsea’s?
