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.

    Fab -> Oscar to fund Moreno -> Baines ?

    Probably not this week, but next.

    Should I drop the idea of getting Chambers in on my WC this week as Kosc has been ruled out till next international break which usually means more with Arsenal..

    Play Chambers, Hutton or Moore?

    Kos injured so Arsenal CS look unlikely but then again, they play Sunderland.

      They have to bounce back though, would play Hutton.
