The ScoutCast – Episode 29 – Croissants And Footy

Filed under: Fantasy Football Podcast - Posted by: G-G-Granville

The latest ScoutCast episode is now live for your aural pleasure. Listen in as I recount my Paris trip diet of croissants and football, and a closely fought contest between Wifey and WIFI. I seem to have absorbed some French luck too, as I continue on my ‘Fantasy Cup’ run. Maybe it’s due to Le Chat Noir that ran in front of my car last week. Mark on the other hand is desperately trying the differential blagging game and failing miserably. There might just be a contest this season after all.

As well as the usual podcast regulars, the pair of us visit the familiar “Fantasy Island” destination with a passenger that at first seems like a case of mistaken identity. A shared surname created the confusion, giving me all the opportunity I needed to dwell on United’s latest triumph over Mark’s Gunners. He can harp on about Forest all he likes. I know the truth.

    If Lindegaard is starting I'll be doubling up with Linde and Evans. The 3rd spot (if I have one) will depend on Nani/… »

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”

Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
