Sunday Dugout Discussion

While the footballing community rightly reels from the frankly unfathomable and tragic news of Gary Speed’s passing, the Dugout Discussion opens in more solemn tones in shock at this news…

Our first of two fixtures today is in Wales where, rather perversely now, Speed had been seeming to build a bright future for football in his home country. Whether many of the Welsh players (on both sides) are in the right mind is hard to tell but the fixture of Swansea vs Aston Villa will go ahead as planned. Teams in full are…

Swansea XI: Vorm; Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor; Britton, Allen, Gower, Dyer, Sinclair; Graham

Villa XI: Given; Hutton, Collins, Dunne, Warnock; Herd, Delph; N’Zogbia, Heskey, Agbonlahor; Bent.

The Premier League weekend will then finish with the big fixture of the weekend as Kenny Dalglish’s Moneyball squad come up against the Nouveau riches of Manchester City.

RIP Gary Speed.

      Sadly that won't be the case. No striker gets 3 without scoring.

        I think agboblahor also but instead: Agbonlahor - 3, Dyer - 2, Allen 1.

        Just my guess, if not allen then britton.

      Moses was probably slightly worse but yeah he seemed an easy way into the Villa attack whose fixtures weren't too bad.

      Irritatingly there'll probably be more bonus points than usual - low PPI scores mean there'll be more chance of lots of players on the same total who then share the bonus points.
