The ScoutCast – Episode 41 – Strait Jacket

It’s a flip-flop and we’re not talking about our fantasy island risk footwear. Courtesy of a dream wildcard, in 3 weeks I’ve turned a significant deficit around to a 20 point lead.

Mark is miffed, he feels trapped. Malouda, his comfort blanket now resembles a strait jacket, tightening its grip on his budget as he wrestles with the consequence of finally selling him.

Listen to us as we go tête-à-tête on the subjects of buying versus selling price, profit versus points and success versus failure, or better described as Granville versus Mark 😉

Help yourself to this humdinger of an episode via this link here.

Alternatively you can stream using the player below.

NB. Addendum – The Malouda injury hadn’t been revealed to Mark at the time of this recording. Ouch

            Quite funny cos I've been spreading £10 over 10 prem games or similar small bets and have been making a little profit for a while now.

      Perhaps you need to take tackling off aggressive?!

      I'm in agreement though. Lost the Community Shield final 4-0 mainly because I conceded two penalties and then went for broke... Had more shots and possession but was on the end of an absolute hammering!

        Penalties for both me and the opposition. It's a bug with the game apparently.

        Just lost to Villa and lying 2nd in the league behind those bastards that are Chelsea.

        Also lost to Real Madrid 2-0 in the champs league. Ronaldo ran riot.

        It's quite realistic though. I haven't played Michael Owen yet in any competition. He started off injured, recovered, got injured, recovered, just had a report of him playing well in the reserves. Now he's injured for 3 more months.

    Anyone see John Henry's bird? Wow. Right, which scouse is going to do the deed with her first. Star man Gerrard opens at a warm 11/4 fav. Jamie Carragher and his amazing lack of morals is a surprising second favourite at 4/1. Joe Cole is 5/1 while Dirk Kuyt is on offer at 7/1 if anyone fancies a sympathy embrace by the good woman. Konchesky is a 40/1 outsider as the inevitable "who are you?" is never an optimistic opening line from a woman. Place your bets lads.

            We didn't let Bale get a run on Rafael, either. In the Inter game, Bale had a 15-yard run up on Maicon plenty of times. Bale's not that quick off the mark, but once he gets up to speed he's rapid.

              Wes Brown helped out too for half an hour.

      Rafael ownnnnnned him, for 60mins. Then Wes Brown came on and messed it up a bit.

    I think we'll beat City this week, and it will be Mancini's last game..

      Your team looked very ordinary with a few injuries. Reminded me of the team that went down.
      Not enough creativity and nobody to score up top. Id fancy City this week especially if Tevez is back.
