The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Three – Wrapped Up

Possibly the most un-Christmas-like Christmas Podcast we’ve ever recorded, thanks mainly to Granville being banned from editing in the entire MP3 of Dean Martin’s “Let it Snow” but also because neither of us had time to sort our pressies. To be fair, I’m surprised that Granville felt an ounce Christmas spirit after Santi’s showing at Reading opened up a 40-point “chasm” in our min-league. Do I have it all wrapped up already?

To his credit, my co-host takes it all on his bearded chin, joining me to discuss the Felliani fallout, its impact on the transfer trends in “all aboard”, a preview of the weekend fixtures and provided his assistance in the management of the ScoutCast team: an outfit which plundered no less than 80 points thanks to Santi’s haul and Reading’s bulging net.

Unitie the bow and rip this one open via this link, or stream the merriment via the player below…

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

    When Terry is back , Azpilicueta will be dropped, Ivanovic back to RB and the regular back 4 will be Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry and Cole?

    I had to stop the scoutcast when they talked about a "demoralized" Reading team.
    That is wrong and a perfect example of gut opinion over substance.
    I fully expect a more determined effort from Reading this G/W not a team full of demoralization.
    I think they may offer a little more fight than a demoralized team.

    Guys i scored 81 last gw with the below :

    Jaaskelainen

    Jones Reid Skrtel

    Silva Santi Snodgrass Michu

    RVP(c) Tevez Berbatov

    I have 1.6 in the bank and was going to bring Ba in for Berbatov then reverse it the following GW. Do you think I should do this or stick and keep my 1.6 and then have 2 frees to deal with the postponed West H v Arsenal game?

    Next week I will have McCartney, Noble and Carzola with a blank. Rafael is a rotation risk and who knows who else will be benched.

    Should I...
    a) McCartney > Davies/Nelsen/4.4 def
    b) Nolan > Puncheon
