The ScoutCast – Episode 232 – Feisty

3,120 Comments

“This is how the ScoutCast was meant to be” exclaimed Granville.

He’s not wrong. If you’ve successfully avoided this brand of nonsense to this point, episode 232 provides a less than gentle introduction.

Just don’t expect me to take a beating every week.

That’s certainly what pans out over this lengthy landmark episode which finds me rolling the punches after my “ill-timed” Wildcard.

Granville and Jonty take turns to dish out the blows, while Andy and Az make uncomfortable spectators.

Once the scuffle dies down, we do our best to address the latest community questions, assessing strikers, mid-price midfielders and the latest wing-backs demanding our attention.

But, for once, that forms the undercard for the “big fight”.

This ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Tuesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

If you’re a traditional type, you can acquire the mp3 audio version via this link on the first player below, or take in the full visual experience via the second player below.

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

    MU fans, does Fellaini get the start on Sunday?

    Considering him on my WC to allow for a Kolasinac benching. If he starts, Fellaini could very well bag a goal, as Everton will sit back and MU will be forced to launch balls into the box.

          Newcastle is on good defensive form right now with Merino playing excellently, and a fully fit Yedlin should be an improvement over Manquillo at RB
