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.

      I'm so excited for the return of FPL I cannot get to sleep. It's like coming downstairs on Christmas morning to see what Santa has brought...

      ...and discovering him out cold in front of the tree because he drank too much sherry and smacked his head on the mantelpiece.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

    • Siggy in the Middle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      In about 20-30 mins, Vardy and Mahrez won't have scored and there will be a few "lol @___ owners" posts. Then one of them will score and all hell will break loose.
