The Saturday Surgery

It’s been a breathless week, punctured by a whole set of midweek fixtures that handed us further quandaries as we approach the weekend. Form, fixtures and injury doubts fill our heads with just over an hour to go but there’s time left to sample the views and opinions of your peers – our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open, to grab those nuggets in real-time.

The day’s Dugout Discussion follows around 12.30, with a tortured preamble on its way very soon.

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

    Question for the gamblers…

    Do you bet for or against your FF team?

    For example, the triple in the PP article looks really good, but I have all three players in my team.

    12/1 on a Suarez goal against Southampton, a David Silva assist against Everton and a West Brom clean sheet at home to Stoke.

      £5 on the player/team you would have spent 4 points on but bottled it...

      softens the blow when he scores and you've missed the points

    Never been before and it feels like I'm off to see a wonder of the world.....I love this feeling it's the best bit as the anticipation builds. Sort of hedged my bets a bit by making Suarez captain so it's a win win whatever happens!! Good luck to all.
