Dugout Discussion

Just the one game to entertain us this Sunday, as Norwich welcome Sunderland to Carrow Road. The Black Cats Fantasy assets have a perfect platform to grab our attention ahead of their double Gameweek, though they have a tough task on their hands – the Canaries have registered clean sheets in each of their last three home matches:

As always, our Dugout Discussion is open ahead of the 4pm kick-off, with the team news as follows:

Chris Hughton names the same starting XI that drew 1-1 at Everton in midweek, with Ryan Bennett continuing to deputise at centre-half for the injured Michael Turner.

Norwich Starting XI: Bunn; Whittaker, Bassong, R. Bennett, Garrido; Snodgrass, Johnson, Tettey, Pilkington; Hoolahan; Holt

For Sunderland, James McClean earns a recall to the first-team. Seb Larsson moves into central midfield to cover for the injured Lee Cattermole – this sees Adam Johnson shift to the right, with McClean returning to his usual left wing berth.

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Bardsley, Kilgallon, Cuellar, Rose; Johnson, Larsson, Gardner, McClean; Sessegnon; Fletcher

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

    please, can someone help me out with this FIFA 13 PC problem I am having with origin?

    I bought original Fifa 13 and was extremely excited. I reached home, switched on my PC and inserted the game, only to find out about a new thing called 'Origin'. After downloading, it asked for an internet connection. Then origin was updated (file size 45 mb) and after making an origin account, it prepared to install.

    After 2-3 mins, it finally started installing but since then, it has been stuck at 0% and apparantly it is using my internet connection, which is pretty slow for it! Then I found out that it showed that 50mb of around 2600 mb was only installed! I mean, why is it installing by using the internet? I still have my Game DVD inside, idle. Please help and guide me. Please. I was way excited but this origin took it all away.

    I searched google and everything but to no avail..

          Reading only kept one clean sheet all year.

          Shores does have good assist potential, but pretty sure those points from yesterday would have been on your bench if you had him.
