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.

      He will serve the suspension in the CC, making it more likely Aguero plays that one and misses Norwich. Just my opinion..

      You shouldnt want to take someone out because they might not play in one game tho.

        At £11.3m you've got to play I'm afraid. Fixtures aren't great anyway and there's a certain Spurs striker tempting me.

            My point is I think Balotelli would've started the Norwich game up front on his own, with Aguero and Dzeko rested for Munich - meaning I'd get rid.

            However now it's clear he'll play, so I'm going to keep. Is that hard to understand? 🙂

      Balotelli lasted 18 minutes. Not what his manager wanted. The first was a silly booking, the second more clumsy but his arm was up as he leant into Skrtel. It was risky.
