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.

Prepare to be haunted via this link or exorcise your right to stream via the handy player below.

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

    I'm not even being sarcastic, please someone explain Dzeko fever.

    Worst case scenario, Jovetic plays in front of Negredo. Best case scenario, he gets 65 minutes in front of a Chelsea team, who in a fantastic show of irony will be doing their best West Ham parking the bus impression.

      It can't really be explained. This week, in particular. Get ready for another Jose bus parking extravaganza that has already claimed the attacking points of Arsenal and United and kept City down to 1.

      Is it really that difficult ? 9, 1, 7, 7, 15. 6.7. Plays for City and has pretty much played the last 5 games and if anything looks more nailed now Aguero is injured

      Looks good, but I'm not a huge fan of Johnson or Giroud over the next few weeks. Probably prefer Mirallas and Adebayor

    Have only have 3 playing Defenders, Chester who is due to fall tonight and Aguero upfront,

    With every penny counting should I

    A) do Chester to Ward tonight for free and deal with Aguero next week

    B) Delay the defensive transfer and await news on Aguero

    C) Do A and take a hit if need be
