Spare a thought for Mike Phelan.

Already the Hull City caretaker manager seems to be unfurling the white flag, even before Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez get their first run at his patched-up defence.

The first Dugout Discussion of the Premier League season could witness one of the most one-sided opening fixtures in memory.

Champions Leicester turn up at the KCOM Stadium off the back of the FA Community Shield defeat to Manchester United but surely still brimming with confidence and optimism following the triumphant campaign.

Certainly they bring plenty of talent and pace – heightened by the presence of Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray on their teamsheet. That might just prove too much, even for a spirited Hull City showing.

Stranger things have happened, though. Just ask Claudio Ranieri.

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

    All you knee jerk & 'lol @' fuchers can do one. It's 45mins into the season......grow a pair

      I can't stand these forums on match day

        Problem with most of the user base being either 12-18 or whining little biatches.

        No point posting here matchday. It's all 'oh woe is me my captain hasn't scored in the first 10 minutes' or 'ha,ha-your captain hasn't scored in the first 10 minutes-my captain is better' knobheads.

          I miss the days when it was just properly hardcore passionate players. Too many casuals these days

            I was on here in the early years of the site-7-8 years ago.

            It's awful now,don't post here much at all. Thought I'd check it out today but it's just whining/whinging potholes who will bemoan a lack of points one minute and then over-celebrate with 'VVAAAAAARDDY!' one minute later when the player they're slating has scored.

            It's just sad. A lot of sad sad people. Don't think it's a problem with casuals though. Just think the fanbase here now is younger and more of a trollbase than anything else. It's toxic.

    Diomande, Diomande, give me your answer, do,
    I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
    It won't be a stylish marriage,
    I can't afford a carriage,
    But you'd look sweet upon the seat
    Of a bicycle made for two

    9. BRONALDINHO
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      that's stupid, and you're positively stupid for suggesting it.

  17. Wouter
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    This is going very well so far. Just 379.5 of them to go.

  18. Francescoli
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Morgan to score the equaliser and Vardy the winner

    1. some witty pun
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      looks like we own the same players

  19. @persecuted_by_mods
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Clearly diomande touched it last? Is that just me lol. Don't have either player but surely Herbandez assist diomande goal

    1. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      looked like it to me

    When I click the DraftKings advert below the comments window, it says too many requests from my IP. Never even opened once. 😆

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      VPN?

  21. Trae44
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Was already going to do it but feeling better about going to start Diomande against Swansea instead of Redmond away at United

  22. Gaz Downright
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Seen the replay.

    Diomande goal, Hernandez assist imo.

  23. Odikostar
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Diomande bandwagon

  24. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Hernandez kick was going off target. Diomande goal.

    1. Donnie Brasco´s
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Absolutely!!! 100 % Diomande Goal!

  25. Penzardlife
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    At least Vardy is getting in the right positions?

    1. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 28 days ago

      Yes. But forgot his cool today.

  26. Numb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Sky are crediting the goal to Diomande (Hernandez assist)

  27. Boydinho
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    Diomande goal and Abel assist for sure

  28. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 28 days ago

    And so, against the course of the match, surprisingly many managers will hope for two or three of their players not to show up this GW, to get Diomande's goal from the bench.
