The ScoutCast – Episode 140 – Gloaty

After the best Gameweek tally in living memory, I reserve the right for a bit of a gloat. Having risked the Wildcard back in Gameweek 7, the stars aligned and everything fell into place last weekend, leaving my ScoutCast co-host, grumpy Granville, grabbing at straws and smashing TV sets in frustration.

After last season’s defeat, I revel in my moment of glory but still find time to lock horns with Granville over the great Costa debate. Is Jose playing with our minds? I certainly think so but, as Granville points out, I reckon the Lunar landings were fake. I love a good conspiracy, me.

Congratulate yourself via this link or bask in smugness via the handy player below…

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

    I totally get people wanting tovhold off making transfers until friday after the pressers, but even if he is going to play, Mourinho wont give us any positive news, so we'll all still be in the same situation.

          Or that they climbed down from the spacecraft in the shade according to pictures, yet that would have been near enough temperature wise to absolute 0.

    So are people losing Costa only because he's doubtful for one weekend?

    I understand trying to fund Aguero but you'll only be bringing Costa back in next gameweek?

        Hmmm tis a lot of tinkering, especially if other injuries crop up. Best laid plans and all that.

        Yeah that makes sense to me, straight swap to Falcao if United get their shit together a bit. (if worst comes to worst).

          Because he's come back from an injury and Martinez might not want to risk 3 games in a week. He was rotated a fair bit last season. Just my take on it, I wouldn't be suprised if I was wrong though.
