Tuesday’s Dugout Discussion

While the clash between Stoke and Wolves at the Britannia hardly smacks of a footballing classic, the result and Fantasy returns from tonight’s Premier League encounter certainly have significance to our gameweek 34 Fantasy returns.

Over in Germany meanwhile, United take on Schalke for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final – we just know that there will be a few “opinions” floating around on that one.

Use this thread to discuss tonight’s action then and, if you fancy some real-time interactivity, you can pop in to our Dugout Discussion chatroom which is now open.

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

        That's because the ref gave the yellow to Shawcross by accident.

            Its not an accident; Hunt pushed Huth, Huth pushed back Hunt and then ShawX came on to grab Hunts throat and pushed him - make sense that both ShawX and hunt get a yellow

        United were just Ok really. Schalke were unbelievably poor, to the extent that I can't see how they reached the semis. Neuer was ace though.

        Bit of both but maybe Schalke being more poorer than United being the better side.

        if it wasnt for neuer united wouldv been 3-0 at halftime
        despite that for some reason schalke decided to defend the second half, although united wernt brilliant after the break but they got the job done

        Schalke were piss poor.

        United did their job though, another good away performance.

        A question like that isn't going to get you the answer you want. United followers are going to say how great they were and ABU's are never going to give any credit.

          Top of the PL and one foot in the CL final... I will give credit were credit is due... I don't buy into this theory that Utd are a poor side.. Best team always wins the league.. Cup competions are different..

              A) I genuinely don't know what a gobshite means.

              B) Whatever it means, I can't understand why you'd refer to Clichy - who seems like a perfectly nice bloke - as one.

      could really do with sturridge playing tomorrow...actually made a bit of ground up tonight. gap down from 90 to 60. Sturridge could give me slim to no chance, as opposed to no chance, of catching him.

          No way, I've seen much larger gaps been closed.

          Last season I got stung with the Lampard/emergency captain scandal, captained Bent when he missed two penalties, then Bullard the following week when the he missed a penalty. Anything can happen.
