Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Burnley Vs Man United

Gameweek 3 gets underway with a lunchtime encounter between Burnley and troubled United. Having lost their first two matches, the Clarets are desperate to get points on the board and will certainly be buoyed by the current form of today’s opponents, as Louis van Gaal’s side stumble from one poor result to another.

With Angel di Maria poised to make his debut for the visitors, though, Fantasy owners of United’s attackers have a renewed sense of optimism for the Turf Moor meet. Captain Poll favourite Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie are all more than capable of delivering in emphatic fashion and could be set to benefit from the Argentine’s arrival.

Following this one, we have five matches to savour at 3pm before Everton host Chelsea in the evening kick-off at Goodison.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    So I can understand that lvg love to play with 3 at the back and those wbacks
    But you have to be an idiot to play it with those players
    Just change the faking formation

    1. JJO

      It would mean 1 bad player less

    2. Heydudes13

      System's so dodgy with crap players in it atm. Terrifying to watch.

      No proper plan b.
      How many goals from open play in world cup knock out stages for Holland this year...?

      1. Djerbil

        Who is David Gold ? (Sorry)

        1. davies
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          West Ham owner

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      What a fall from grace for Song.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        cant think of many players whose careers went to the next level when they left Arsenal.

        even RVP is cack now and Cesc was sold by Barca within 3 years.

        1. davies
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Carlos Vela?

          1. Dr. Rog
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            yeah will give you that one.

        2. Green Arrow
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          They all still did win more trophies after leaving Arsenal.

      Ashley Young?

      1. Tin of Directors
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Alex Song

      2. wslnpt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Alex Song.

    2. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      West Ham don't do big signings, it'll be someone crap.

    3. Bucky Barnes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Giant Haystacks?

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      So we know it's male. That narrows it down.

  5. SG8
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    delighted so far that I choose Ramsey over Rooney for captaincy

    1. Texas Pete
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      sickened that i did the same but didn't confirm. Rookie error.

    2. Chelskimagi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Me 2

  6. DementedFlamingo
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    How is Caulker in the scout picks but 10th on the watch list? I would have assumed there was some correlation between the two???

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Watchlist is for the next 4-6 weeks.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        and Scout Picks is only for this week

        1. DementedFlamingo
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Current form C 😉

          but thanks all for clarifying

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Because he's good for this week, but you wouldn't want to buy him?

    3. andyinasia
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      All the pickers have Caulker and the same front 3 of Rooney, Aggie and Jovvy. I reckon I'll pick up more points than them this week!

    4. Kew Pee Arr
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Because some of the scout pick are utter sh£te. The insistence that caulker will rake the points in is a prime example

  7. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Regretting Rooney armband!

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Same here

    2. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Curse of the early kick off!

      Still time to go though, although this isn't looking promising.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Curse of the Utd kick-off.

    3. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      90 minute match.

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Just saying if you offered me the chance to change it now, I would.

      2. Bucky Barnes
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ramsey didn't score till the 82nd min last weekend

    4. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm not. But thats cause I dont captain in the 12:45

      1. Breadbin
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        That would have hurt you a few times last season.

        1. Sánchez
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I never played last year

    5. MBK 42
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Can only hope Burnley will tire in the 2nd half - still think United will win 2-0; ronney to get at least one.

      1. DementedFlamingo
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        At least one point 🙁

  8. Bucky Barnes
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    With a long run in the team Utd could turn Di Maria into the Argentinian Stewart Downing

  9. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Have United won any aerial balls? Yet they insist on hoofing it up the pitch....

  10. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Song to West Ham

    Doosra will be going crazy, he loves Song

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Who do you think approved it? 😆

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        silly me 😆

      2. Billy Gilmore
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I was wondering where he's been lately. Must've been pestering BFS to buy him.

    2. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Good signing that.

    3. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      As do I, great signing.

    4. DementedFlamingo
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Excellent for hammers I was hoping he would go to Pool.

  11. Mr_Partridge
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Fans are going to have to support their local teams at this rate

    1. Breadbin
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No. Just some other successful one will do.

  12. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Can see one those lash outs by RVP that should be a red but goes unnoticed by the ref coming...

    1. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      That and a Rooney YC for getting frustrated...

      1. Kew Pee Arr
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Rooney RC, just to prove he's prime England captain material.

  13. Schwarzer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Haven't been watching, how have United been?

    Dire seems to be an understatement?

  14. Get up ya bum
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I'm not watching. Utd still wonderfully dreadful? How's shrek playing?

    1. MBK 42
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He's looking sharp to me, much better than RVP.

  15. No Arsene Around
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Giggs, change your gear and get on the pitch

  16. Twelve years a slave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Note to self (and others) avoid forum during games

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Leaving the note to self on a forum is counter productive then

  17. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    He didn't dive? 😯

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Lol young

    1. Bob.
      • 14 Years

      Would have been impossible not to fall there as he was pushed!

    2. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You say lol though. Ashley Young is still far less of a tool than you are

      1. Kew Pee Arr
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Wooooooh. Handbags at half time.

  19. Jafooli

    😛

  20. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone but Young would have got a pen there. Karma

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The penalty of crying wolf.

  21. Wouter
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    That's a penalty imo.

    1. thedarkhorse
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Blatant push - clear penalty.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        when a player's reputation can cost him

  22. The Sarjeant
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Song at West Ham is pretty mental.

  23. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Shocking from RVP

  24. andyinasia
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    VP -awful!!!

    1. andyinasia
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      and again - no sharpness at all

  25. Ole Gunnar Kush
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    FFS Van Persie!!

  26. Theseus
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Wow that was actually a penalty!!
    Young did not dive
    Repeat: Young did not dive!!

    1. Kew Pee Arr
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Liar

  27. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Ffs sub RVP off at HT

  28. Tin of Directors
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I'm pretty sure West Hams signing will be Alex Song

    1. Mr_Partridge
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Paulo Futre

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Take off rvp. Just awful play

    1. teemonee yall
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Completely agree..he's been wretched

  30. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Van Persie is playing very poorly. That was a simple
    Pass to let Rooney in
