The ScoutCast – Episode 146 – Closer

Granville and I get cosy on a two-seater sofa – within touching distance – just how he likes it.

In truth, my-host is getting too close for comfort: the mini-league gap is down to just 42 points, with Granville relentlessly chiping away at my previously unassailable lead.

We review Gameweek 16’s events, including my oh-so bitter Dzeko pill, before discussing De Gea’s uncanny form, the demise of Leighton Baines and my latest set-to with Jonty: are there better options than Diego Costa up top?

The regulars wrap themselves around that lot, while Granville, thankfully, keeps his hands to himself.

Snuggle up to the noise via this link or get up close and personal via the player below…

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

    2FT and not allot to do.....been bouncing some ideas around over the last couple of days

    Krul to Hamer to bank 0.5? Would also mean not having to play Foster vs City next week

    🙄 Please don't let me get started on info wars! 🙄

    I would have to provide 100000 pages worth of posts to justify the truth on 9/11 alone

    Please Please Please

    As a scientist, my colleagues and I have spend endless hours (prob multiple years worth) of research and the evidence is quite clear! I spend most of my working days digging up facts.

    Can't we just talk about RVP, Austin, Sanchez and Yaya???

    Fun times!

      you're a moron

        9 years, 6 months ago

        far from it...

        science doesn't lie my friend and one fact reveals it all

        its called nuclear fission and its main by product.....

        TRITIUM

        which I'm assuming you have absolutely no clue what it is and how its formed

        Mainstream left that out of the news! OOOOPS

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          There is no doubt some form of nuclear energy was used, either in the form of planted explosives, or in the form of a directed-energy or particle-beam weapon. Hard to tell which though given the complete absence of any proper investigation (which should itself be an enormous red flag).

          1. Fitzy.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Maybe the aliens hiding out on the moon base were involved in this too? I'm sure they would have 'particle-beam weapons'.

          2. Billy Gilmore
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Jeez I had a look at one of those stupid videos you recommended the other week. Funnily enough they didn't mention nuclear weapons of any description. They kept talking about how Thermite/Thermate brought down the towers, but kept talking about explosions as if they were the same thing...

        2. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          😆 and nuclear fission has what to do with sep 11?
          Or is this another spin off of the thouroughly debunked thermite rabble?
          It's all been thouroughly debunked man.
          Just because you say you are a scientist doesn't add any weight to your twoofer rabble

          1. rickardinho
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Thoroughly debunked? I'd like to see that evidence...

            everything actually....

            gullable ppl like you are the reason why they can just keep on lying and lying..

            I can't argue with you sorry especially if you don't know chemistry and/or physics

              There's some gullible people here for sure, don't think Champ is one of them though...

    2. rickardinho

      Anyone with half a brain cell can see that the twin towers were demolished, but unfortunately the lie runs so deep and is so pervasive that its become reality and people refuse to see the facts no matter how obvious they are. I commend you for your work, and would love to know more about your work if you've got a website?

      Fwiw, I myself am a mechanical engineer (graduated first class with honours from a top 5 UK university), so I'd like to think my views aren't completely un-founded either - not that you need a science degree to see the obvious...

      But about Mirallas' ankle... 🙄

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Most definitely Rick. I'm a microbiologist/bioinformatics. I work for an independent (non govt funded) lab, small but amazing company with multiple networks across the US. Email me RubeRx@live.com and I can send you some amazing websites revealing the work of other independent scientists whom are 100x times smarter than I am.

        I think most engineers, architects and scientists are pretty much up to date on this topic at this point. I'm sure most engineers have their share of evidence as well.

        The science behind it reveals the whole story. The levels of tritium that were detected at 60x to 100x normal levels for days, weeks, months at ground zero after the event can only mean one thing and one thing only... a nuclear event (aka mini nukes)
        ABSOLUTELY NO ANOMALIES

        It's not a coincidence either that 90% of the first responders from that time all have cancer.

        Like I said, I could go on all day but this is not the place!

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Pretty sure the tritium theory is bunk, there would be pretty obvious background radiation from the neutron activation of the steel and other building materials no? This should be the smoking gun and the fact there isn't any kind of blows the theory out of the water

          1. rickardinho
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Well that is why most of the first responders got radiation sinkness and cancer years later. As for the materials, the dump trucks swooped in very quickly to get rid of the evidence, though of course that could be yet another coincidence...

                great choice mate but you think he will come through 3 weeks in a row?

                I guess if anyone can do it, RVP is def one of them but I'd still proceed with caution!

                Do you have Austin or Yaya?

  6. Get up ya bum
    • 14 Years

    btw rick i don't spend much time at all thinking about what the "mainstream media" is doing. I get my knowledge from life experience, books and good ol common sense. That last one goes a long way but as you remind me isn't that common after all.

    1. Zasa
      • 9 Years

      Shut up champ 😉

        *but aye, too much drivel on the internet to consume.
        My kid brother can talk days on end about conspiracy theories, 9/11, ISIS, corruption, etc..
        But he hasn't read a book in his life, so when I discuss real politics on healthcare, laws, ALIENS, he has no idea what I'm talking about

        Gotta start with foreplay first, no?

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years

          haha yup 😀

            Don't even bother mate, you need to blow off some steam for realsies

    2. rickardinho

      Can you name which media outlets and books I should read to become as enlightened as you?

      Please give me specific examples instead of just sidestepping the question 🙂

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 12 Years

        Try this book I've found quite useful throughout my life. It's called common sense.

        1. Zasa

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        LOL you post that rubbish about sep 11 with the classic i'm a scientist rabble and want me to let it go? I hate stupidity mascerading as critical thought. So much idiocy on the internet, you two bring it here and tell me to let it go?
        You insult the memory of the thousands murdered on sep 11.

        1. rickardinho
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          You still haven't named a SINGLE book or website you consider to be free from mainstream media bias that ranks side-by-side with your "common sense"...

          Quit attacking and ridiculing others and back your claims up without just saying your "personal experience" and "common sense" are better than others'...

          1. Zasa

            1984 😯

            Atlas Shrugged 😯 Didn't even sweat

            48 laws of power

            Start with the basics

            1. rickardinho
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Funny that you should mention George Orwell's 1984, because the events he described are pretty much exactly what is unfolding right now, most notably in the US.

              1. Zasa
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                😯 What did I just do?

          2. Billy Gilmore
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            For god's sake there is not a single book, publication or anything in the world that isn't biased.

            Christ!

            1. rickardinho
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Obviously not, but Champ specifically mentioned that he reads books that are somehow ideologically different from the "sheeple" books and material he claims I've been reading - so I asked him to name some of those books and websites.

          3. Get up ya bum
            • 14 Years

            wtf do you want man? Are you seriously asking me for book recommendations right now?

            i'll give you a website that should straighten out your germ theory denial etc (though i have a feeling it won't) sciencebasedmedicine.com they give your mate rappaport the serving his rubbish deserves so doubt you will like it.

            Want a book on the media? Check out allain de betton's news a users guide.
            Something on alien life? Try carl sagan or the like

            One that would actually be up your alley is john pilger's new rulers of the world about the world bank/imf and the affect they have on the third world. He draws a long bow at times but also shines a light on the dark side of capitalism very well.

            Enjoy reading none of these 🙂

              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Funny that you mention Carl Sagan, who is a massive proponent of the existence of extraterrestrials for example, when you mock me for those same views.

              1. Billy Gilmore
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                He mocks you for thinking there's a secret alien moon base on the dark side of the moon, not about the existence of extraterrestrials.

                1. rickardinho

                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Its hardly a secret at this stage. I'd recommend watching an extended interview with John Lear that's available on youtube. His father founded the Lear Jet and both of them have strong ties to the CIA among others and explain a whole host of things.

          yea simply because we are not getting anywhere so why get all worked up about it, especially on this site?

          there are truths and there are lies so who knows really?

          we can agree to disagree guy its ok

  7. rickardinho

    Regarding the Balotelli fine, do you think its right that the FA can decide what a player can and can't post on their private social media accounts?

    Personally I think Dyke and the rest of his crooked Hodgson-appointing chums aren't exactly the ones to pass judgment on matters pertaining to freedom of speech.

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Regarding your quitting fantasy sport, is this the correct forum to be in to get it done?

      As for Balotelli, all members of professional sport teams are also public representatives of their sport, and their overseeing body can and should kick them to the suspension curb when they do things that damage the face of the sport as Balotelli did.

      This is the same as in many sports where players who commit crimes are suspended from play even though they have not had a fair trial yet. (see NFL for recent examples)

      1. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        The key word there is "commit crime"... what Balotelli did cannot be considered a crime, unless you live in an oppressive society without freedom of speech.

        Quitting fantasy sports doesn't mean I've quit watching football altogether, and thought this was a good place to ask my question 🙂

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Didn't say he committed a crime. He damaged the face of the sport.

          Kids look up to athletes. Leagues have a responsibility to not let players be awful people in a public way that kids would want to emulate.

          well... this week, Austin is my "fourth striker"... the one I would go get if FPL suddenly allowed us to own 4

          3 out of 4 games at home, decent sched after that, January WC in near future to get rid if he under-performs too

          leaves you with money in the bank to upgrade elsewhere and/or deal with injuries during the holiday fixtures at a later time

  14. joe259
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Past 3 weeks were hell for me. My rank dropeed from 9k to 60k

    This is my team

    Guzan
    Baines, Taylor, Azpilicueta
    Yaya, Hazard, Fab, Sanchez, Siggy
    Bony, Kane/Austin

    Hamer, Duff, Hutton, Kane/Austin

    Baines has been really irritating me. I think I'm going to transfer him out if he doesn't give me points this week.
    Also I can't decide between Austin and Kane for this week. Thoughts?
    Any way to upgrade my team? I know my forward lineup sucks.
    Suggestions would be most appreciated.

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      bench Siggy, play Kane & Austin

      team's fine

      keep Baines... he has his spells

      1. joe259
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        who should i captain?
        yaya, hazard, bony?

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Don't like the curse of the early fixture with Yaya
          Bony usually gets less shots on goal away they tell me
          I like Chelsea on Monday Night Football, so Hazard from those choices but I think I'd go with Fabregas because:

          - Fabregas has had his rest already and Mourinho said everyone would get a rest for at least a match during the festive matches

          - Hazard's form is lower away from home

          - gut call

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Team looks fine. Not sure why its dropped points but looks good going forward.

      Bench siggy this week

      1. joe259

        i guess the luck factor plays a huge role in fpl

  15. waldo666

    Too much of a punt putting the armband on Rooney in the hope that he will start up front with RVP?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      armband part is fine

      hoping he will start up front, not likely

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah fair enough.....I have a feeling Falcao might be close to a start anyway......whether rooney drops in behind them or plays deep again will be interesting....still could be worth a punt regardless as you say

      yeah... he quit... took about 4 pages of comments to do so... brought in a bunch of useless players.... blah blah blah

      1. Zlatan The Magician
        • 12 Years

        He hasn't quit. That's just what they want you to think !!!! 😉

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          he quit my draft league a couple of weeks earlier for similar reasons

          then started being on here more

          now is trying to quit

          he's working through some stuff

          1. Zlatan The Magician
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            from the number of posts he makes I think too much time spent on Forums may be an issue.

            Whichever topic he is talking about it tends to last nearly a whole day once he gets going.

            I hope he sorts out whatever needs sorting..

            1. rickardinho
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              There's nothing that needs sorting apart from playing fantasy sports to much. Have dropped that now though and am much better for it. Thanks for asking.

    Cobham FC have the best stadium name in the entire United Kingdom. Some rich person needs to buy them and get them moving up the promotion ladder.

      I had to Google it. Great name.

      We have one near us. This one was named because of its elongated triangle shape. I wonder if its the same for Cobham?

    Guzan
    Clyne - Azpilicueta - Jagielka

      Zabaleta, Hart

      1. Venom Snake

        This pretty much

    Get Kane or Giroud for Dzeko?

    1. joe259

      kane

      1. copps
        • 13 Years

        i still feel kane is too punty with december games coming up

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I don't rate Giroud at all tbh. And Kane, even though scoring lately, doesn't appeal to me

    3. AAAAA
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kane, really helps with the Dec rotation, (you can strengthen your bench if you buy Kane)

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Balotelli's ban is an absolute joke.

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yup, should have been 3 matches

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        You're having a laugh, mate.

        Terry didn't cop shite for racially abusing Ferdinand, AND it was caught on camera. Balotelli is racially abused almost every game (was), how anyone can accuse him of racism is beyond me.

        1. Amateur Pundit Zan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Being racially abused does not stop you being racist yourself.

          Stereotyping jews for being money grabbing is the bit that landed him in trouble i would have thought, saying anything that offends jewish people or culture seems to create more uproar than other ethnicities.

          I agree a ban is disproportionate to the 'crime' here.

          1. copps
            • 13 Years

        they posted it in the daily mail

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Because it's "Balotelli".

        Terry, the England captain, didn't get anything.

      2. copps

      balotelli's ban is such a joke. what kind of orwellian dystopia is this where you can't perpetuate negative racial stereotypes and convince impressionable kids of the truth behind them. i honestly worry about some of you. :/

  27. copps

    1. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Possible, but I can see Chelsea staying top, yet might lose some points

    2. davies

      City can go top if Chelsea lose against Stoke. (Possible)
