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.

    currently banking my ft. Bertrand to kolarov looks like so much fun though! Feeling the pressure of maintaining rank is putting me off 🙁

    I know I'm going to get trolled for saying this but I tend to ponder these things...

    Lets imagine that ShawX breaks Costa's leg on Monday....

    Can you picture the chaos on here that would soon follow?

    Armageddon like!

    Especially with all these close GWs coming up, Jan wildcard, etc

    it could make this season quite memorable!

            I agree. The only issue is that it feels a little sideways going from one forward to another in the same team, but the reality is that Rooney is mostly a MF. It makes the decision easier.

One looks like a deranged mother (?) killing her own kids in their home, the other one was a muslim fanatic holding random people hostage and killing some. Both terrible tragedies, but any country's media would make a big deal of the hostage situation given what is going on around the world with some sick fanatical acts of murder etc.

              The only ones pushing the muslim story is the media. Nobody would give a crap about that side of the story if the media didn't spoon feed the masses with it.

              For example, instead of saying that its a "politically motivated terror attack" (in the words of the highly repugnant PM Abbott), they could have labelled it as a "lone lunatic"...

                  For all we know he could be someone not involved in ISIS who wants to spread fear about ISIS to further an agenda (i.e. gun control laws, more troops dispatched to Iraq, more surveillance, etc). Don't you think its an incredible coincidence that after every single school shooting or incident like this, the only ones who seem to benefit from it are the government themselves who are pushing for gun control laws among other things?! 😯

      Just popped in to ask people's opinions about Balotelli being fined, but this is way better. Totally agree.

      If you look closely you'll notice that the Australian government is already rolling out new "anti-terror" legislation that allows more intrusive and blatant (i.e. more "legal") phone-taps and surveillance, as well as cracking down even further on gun-control laws. No doubt they'll start pushing for a larger Australian military presence in the middle east soon too.

      Funny how those things get rolled out so quickly following high-profile events, you'd almost think the government had planned them themselves... 🙄

      Oh btw, you'll also notice that the Sydney swat teams held drills at the EXACT same location 1 year prior to this incident. I kid you not - google it, searching "sydney false flag" for example.

              far out so anyone that doesn't buy into your ludicrous theories is lapping up the "mainstream media" story? Just because a government has it's own hidden agenda does not mean it is capable or willing to do anything to make it happen. Sorry but you actually a very simplistic worldview where every chaotic event fits neatly into your conspiracy theory box fully explained. You seem to start with a conclusion of who what was behind something and work backwards twisting the facts to fit your theory. Not that you actually do any of this yourself you just regurgitate it off some tin foil hat blog.
