The ScoutCast – Episode Eighty Three – Kids

The latest episode, created mid-afternoon today, was not recorded amidst a playground, although, at times, the background noise and smutty innuendo would suggest as much.

While the fruit of our loins play merrily in adjacent rooms, Granville and I retire to find some quiet and systematically pull apart another week of Fantasy football with all the usual regulars thrown in. Granville has a 22-point lead to show for his efforts, while I’m doing all I can to remain calm after what can best be described as a false start. The green arrows are coming. Surely they’re coming?

    Jose Mourinho on Mario Balotelli in an interview with CNN:
    "Mario was good fun. I could write a book of 200 pages of my two years in Inter with Mario, but the book would be not a drama. The book would be a comedy! I remember one in Kazan. We went to Kazan in the Champions League. In that match, I had all my strikers injured. No Milito, no Eto'o. I was really in trouble and Mario was the only one. Mario gets a yellow card in minute 42 or 43. So, when I go to the dressing room at half time, I spent, I would say, 14 minutes of the 15 speaking only for Mario. "Mario, I cannot change you. I cannot make a change. I don't have a striker on the bench. Don't touch
    anybody. Play only with the ball. When we lose the ball, no reaction. If somebody provocates you, no reaction. If the referee makes a mistake, no reaction.
    Mario, please"
    Minute 46, red card!

          Mourinho i meant. Has changed his way of talking about Ballotelli from annoyance to more of a reminiscence. Ballotelli is good when he wants to be but his nasty streak is a bit much!

            Ah right. Yes I like Mourinho too, but in the same way if he was the manager of my football club I'd want him to stop courting controversy.

              I do see that point but he seems to do it mainly to take the attention and pressure off his players. Can you imagine the recent premier league debacles happening at clubs Mourinho was in charge of?

                Actually the only one that really disgusted me was the Anders Frisk controversy. Mourinho went down in my estimation right then.

          Nailed on for this game IMO, after sitting out UCL and Newcastle look leaky at the back at the moment. So despite the lack of stats to show I like how forward he is playing and making runs like a striker at times(like we saw for the goal). I think there is no rush to get rid of him. Im giving him at least 2 games more.

      I'm swaying towards Berba/Ramirez too. I could get Lambert in for Fletcher but I'm seeing Ramirez as someone who could do really well and there's not a lot of mids at that price who look as dangerous.

        Because i rate the Fulham attack quite highly, and Berbatov is a very very good player who is going to be creating and scoring goals. I probably won't waste transfers on the transition any time soon though, i have big hitters to sort out.

          Any striker who can get mac bonus when not scoring is top drawer fantasy material for me.

          I still need a bit more to proof that Fulham are not going to pants on the road, Wigan away doesnt count. I am happy enough holding an in form Fletcher and Ba (who I got this week). Still have not decided what big hitters I want in

          I'd do Graham to Lambert, but 2 transfers over the international break is always beneficial.

      odd logic but i think you'd be more anoyed at benching a jenkinson score than visa versa, so jenkinson

    I have discovered something that has passed me by in previous seasons...

    Following the points can at best be okay as everyone else already had them or does the same transfers so you all live or die together...

    Sticking when all others are jumping, buying when all others are scoffing.... that's when you hit the big-time.
    Of course this assumes you were right and they were wrong... 😉

            I actually bought Kolavor and Tevez the week after. But yeah I remember taking an 8 pointer to get Kolarov in, and then getting 7 from Santon off my bench.

            Oh and yes you did :mrgreen:

              I think it was more the satisfaction of watching everyone else scramble to get my ultimate differential for City's next game against Wolves. Anyway, I'm sure it was nothing like your Euro GW2 boasting 😛

              You already had Kolarov. I remember because we got him the same GW as we were convinced he would play at least one of three games that City had between a Sunday and Saturday. That twat Clichy played them all 😀
