    The ScoutCast – Episode 69 – Bye Bye Baby

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

    With a stork delivery just around the corner, I drag Mark, nappies and all, into the studio for one more ScoutCast before the little time thief bundle arrives. Keeping my distance, despite getting over the worst of my stinker that had me bed-ridden last week, I find time to lament my latest “miffed”, torment Mark [...]

    The ScoutCast – Episode 68 – Whinge

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

    The first Scoutcast of 2012 is here. There’s no dressing this up, the Episode title tells you exactly what to expect. With consecutive gameweek scores hovering around the two millionth rank mark and “ghost ship” squads passing me by, who can really blame me?

    Sunday Dugout Discussion

    Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: G-G-Granville

    Welcome to a brand new year at Fantasy Football Scout. Hope you all have a happy one. Now you’ve disposed of your empty cans and pizzas boxes into a black bag, you can settle into your lazyboy and spend the afternoon shouting at your TV screen. We have two games: West Brom entertain Everton and [...]

    The ScoutCast – Episode 66 – Vorm

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

    The impossible has happened. After five long years, Michel Vorm delivered my first penalty save of my Fantasy Football management career. There could be no question – this latest episode had to be dedicated to Swansea’s Dutch stopper…

    The ScoutCast – Episode 65 – Sicknote

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

    We were struggling this week. Crippled by a cold that was verging on deadly man-flu, I made a miracle recovery without the aid of placenta treatment to struggle into the studio to infect/accompany Mark on another podcast.

    The ScoutCast – Episode 64 – Granville Says…

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

    Back in blighty, Granville makes a long-awaited return to the podcast studio, armed with a barrel full of “miffeds”. Top of his list – what happened last week? He turns his back and Mark goes and finds a new co-host. Luckily for Granville, such a change was quickly frowned upon by the masses…

    The ScoutCast – Episode 62 – Crazy Talk

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

    Yes, that’s right, crazy talk. There’s a lot of it about in this week’s ScoutCast episode – most of it originating from Mark’s chattering. Transfer in three defenders for a four point hit? Spend big money on Leighton Baines, dumping last season’s top Fantasy scorer? Has he finally lost the plot?

“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
