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.

          Was thinking about bringing cahill in, could this mean he will play less?

              Anyone know why Bardsley went off early? Is he likely to play this weekend? Also am I right in thinking Clyne is out of favour now?

              Just now seeing the Scout tweet on Livermore. I'd be pretty bummed if I'd brought him him. He'll be pretty low in the pecking order at Spurs.
