Hey guys, this will be a short but informative post. After the success of Johnny’s World Cup final, I have decided to host my own live chat session on Saturday the 10th September @ 2pm GMT (this weekend.) Everyone and anyone is welcome to join in, the various subjects we can chat about are listed below.
- This weekends EPL fixtures.
- General Football chatter.
- Experiences on FM.
- Q&A – use this session to ask me any questions.
- General site requests.
So practically any subject is OK with me, I’ll prepare a few trivia questions and interesting polls also (the polls will include score predictions.) I chose Saturday at 2pm for a reason, all the EPL matches kick off at 3pm and this live chat session should tide you over until kick-off. I will hang around after 3pm and report on my favourite teams while watching Sky Sports News, so you are welcome to join me for our own version of Soccer Saturday. ;) I’ll fill the seat of Geoff Stelling, but there’s room for a Merson, Dowie, Kammy and Phil Thompson.
I have prepared a promotional video for these live sessions, please watch the clip below, it may help get you in the mood. :) I recommend watching this in 720HD.

OK then guys, you can set a reminder above and we’ll email you as requested to make sure you don’t forget. But the date to remember is Saturday 10th September (this weekend) at 2pm GMT. Who’s coming??

Hi Darren,
It should be 10pm here in Singapore. I will be at my mother in-law house for dinner. Most likely i should be back. I hope to join in the discussion. Thanks for organizing.
It’ll actually be 9pm over here Lye, GMT+7 ;).
Well I hope you can make it Lye, would enjoy the company.
Hey Darren,
This is a good idea but Mr. Stelling’s shoes are big ones to fill ;)
I’d love to say I’d join in but I go back to college on Monday so my weekend involves shopping for art supplies in Eldon Square, woohoo!
lol, no one can match the great Stelling…but I can at least try :)
Be a shame to not have you there mate but school comes first.
Missed Johnny’s and now yours as I’ll be driving back from a wedding in Loughborough!
Good luck with it pal, hopefully catch one of these in the future haha ;)
Ahhh crap, that’s frustrating mate. Shame you can’t make it.
it wud be great to join but unfortunely i will be on my way to the wolves vs spurs match then!.
Be gud to join in the future tho :)
Sorry to hear that Daniel, ow well enjoy the game and maybe you will be around next time.
Hey Darren,
This has given me an oppurtunity to ask what you do about the one way my team concedes too many goals: near post corners.
The near post defender runs off it to try get the ball and the goalkeeper is in no mans land when the attacker headers it in. If any were in a decent position it’s an easy save. Do you have the same problem?
Hey Nathan, I have never had such problems to be honest. And as a result not sure what the solution is other than to have more players back defender or get a better keeper.
My keeper was Reina and is now De Gea… got $20 mill + De Gea for Reina :) though he went to city :(, so that’s not the problem. I’m thinking of doing pre match preparation myself and focusing on defending set pieces as my teams inability to defend them effectively costs me goals away to the big teams. As for defenders, all bar my striker are back (copied from your corner tactic). I must say your attacking set pieces tactic gives a nice boost to my centre back ratings :)
I can’t explain it then Nathan as I’ve never had that problem and you obviously have the same setup as myself…as you said, pre-match preparation seems to be the way forward.
Hopefully I can come.
I hope so Vaibhav.
Sounds like a good idea Darren, dunno yet if I’ll be there, not sure what I’m doing on Saturday, but if I’m free then I’ll be there :)
OK mate, well hope you make it. If you’re just watching Geoff Stelling and the lads get your laptop on and join us instead.
I we be there Darren I will enjoy chatting :D
Great to hear George, look forward to seeing on Saturday then.
Would love to but I start work at 2 on Saturday :( Quick question, what stage did you introduce youth players into matches? Did you wait until they reached Premiership quality and loan them till then or bring them in earlier?
That is a shame Aaron, would have been nice to see you there. To be honest I usually just tried using my youngsters when they looked good for the EPL and if they played well they would get another match. Generally it would be the easiest games in which they were risked though.
might make it mate. Depends If i’m in the mood to stay up to watch everton. Which is most likely. See you all there
Nice one Birdy, look forward to seeing you on Saturday mate.
Hi Darren
I should be around as its 9;00am for me unless the wife gets up ealier than normal on a Saturday…then I’ll have to go out for coffee :(
Put some sleeping tablets in your wifes cup of tee before bed!! :) That should buy you enough time to come and chat…hope you make it mate.
Looking forward to it, I’ll be around to help out ;)
I never doubted it for a second ;)
I’ll probably be able to make it and am looking forward to it :). Sorry for not commenting on anything recently but I’ve been on holiday.
I hope you can make it Nick, hope you enjoyed the holiday mate.
I hope I can make it, as far as I know I don’t have anything but I am kind of in charge of our Saint Johnstone’s supporters group since I am the only guy interested in football in the teacher who takes it’s class, so I may get corralled into that. Just glad they won’t be playing my beloved Aberdeen for a while…
Anyway, hope I make it! :D
OK Sibo, well I hope you do make it…would be nice to have you there.
Jeepers, I’m a bit late replaying …. Anyways, I should be attending this, yous can help me with my homework :D :D Only joking, looking forward to the discussions :) Tad a loo ’till tomorrow and super idea ;)
Look forward to seeing you there mate.
