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.

    Made this website for my Media Studies coursework, can someone give me an opinion on it? I know that it is poor, but I have done that in about 2 hours, tops. And it has to be done (Along with other things) by the end of the week. So would like to know what you think about it? Ignore the cricket page for now, would anyone actually like to right me a couple of hundred word's article on anything sort of "newsy" on cricket.

    Sorry to be so blunt and ask so much. Just help needed. Ta.

    Begovic cleany is nice. 🙂 Everyone has him but still. 58 with Baird and Dempsey (C) to play. A goal from Dempsey will top off a nice GW.

      OK, looked at it and you.re on track. I'd say make sure you:

      1: Make each page image the same size. your text jumos when navigating due to the size change, this shouldn't happen!
      2: Make it read like an article and not a poorly written essay.'nando torres, this weekend, scored (it read something like that). this is bad. Fernando torres broke his duck in last night's fixture against....
      2: hyperlink the blue text at the bottom of each article...

      that's all...

                Yupppp! I don't really make the most of them but I did put £30 on a team he tipped the other day at evens and they won 6-2 I think. Mad.

                You can easily win money through it, just put £10 on one, then if it loses double your stake. Risky obviously but I've honestly never seen it lose twice in a row.

    This may seem like madness but im seriously considering a 8pt hit..

    Szcz-> Hart
    A.Cole -> Lescott
    Ethers -> Silva

    City's fixtures are great until the end of the season.. If im gonna do it at all, i might aswell do it before WHM at home!?

        On reflection with a CS i'd only be up 4 points, i'll be down 4 without one.. i'll have the benefit on a dgwk though..

        Dempsey always does well in doubles. Was in double figures earlier on in the season and also last season.

        Predictions Dempsey 2 goals, Cahill 1 goal
        FT 3 - 1

      one change would have still got you the arrow and saved you 8pts, Zamora might get the points back tomorrow.
