The title summons up imagery of Granville straddling me at the Potter’s wheel, lovingly helping to craft a clay creation as we unite to sculpt out a Van Persie bust – in true Lionel Ritchie’s “Hello” style.

That’s probably lost approximately half of our potential audience who are too young to recall the analogy. The other half are likely to be repelled by the image of Granville and I caught in a Swayze/Moore-like clinch.

If you’re part of the minority still sticking around, curious to hear how the above nonsense translates into a podcast, then listen up. You’ll catch the plenty of Wildcard ribbing, a tale of captain calamity exposed by this week’s community questions and the usual array of regulars.

    Boruc and Monreal, or

      Im thinking Coleman to Evans to cash in on Colrman. Already have Mert and Terry so dont need 3 expensive def.

      Is Boruc and Marshall best keeper combo?

      Demel @ 4.5 mil. Reid is your best option but wait for news tomorrow as to whether he will be back for the weekend. And you probably won't know who will partner Reid - either Collins @ 4.1 mil or Tomkins @ 4.6 mil until Reid is back.

    What are people's thoughts on owning both Mata and RVP. I'm leaning towards RVP taking Aguero's place in my WC and I'm wondering if I can do without Mata if I have RVP. Would allow me to put Silva in so I've got some City coverage.

      probably wise to have some city coverage but not entirely an easy selection on who to get (other than aguero). RVP and Mata is risky lets face it, but who knows could pay off handsomely.
