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.

    Thinking of doing bertrand >> cresswell. I want a city defender but there is too much uncertainty around them.

    Cresswell will only be a one week punt. Save or transfer?

      Williamson may not be a star and the goalie is obviously a novice, but Janmaat, Collocini, Dummett and Tiote is actually a very reasonable defensive unit
      They should have gone for Caulker in the summer

      Back four is settled? Conceded 4 twice in a row with injured third choice keeper who was gonna be released before they had no choice but to play him. Fletcher was rested last week to keep him for the Derby and Sunlund have scored 3 at the last two SportsDirect.com stadium Derbys.

    Midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa has more than likely played his last game for Hull [and potentially in the Premier League] with his loan set to be terminated.

    Steve Bruce - "Unfortunately, to play for me you have to know you are playing for the team. To be a great you have to be a team player"

    Ben Arfa's future is uncertain with a January move likely and Alan Pardew saying "He won't be coming back here, that's all I can say".

    My thoughts - it headed into US airspace and had an electrical failure or some sort so was not responding to communications. The US then shot it down. Cover up began.
