The ScoutCast – Episode 150 – Costly

29 January 2015 3842 comments

Granville and I raise out bats to the grandstand as the 150 comes up for the ScoutCast. Fittingly, we choose to spend the milestone episode moaning about Diego Costa, for very different reasons.

Chelsea’s “agro magnet” dominates discussion on the eve of an expected three-match ban that will end my love affair with the grizzled goal-getter. Meanwhile, Granville is left smarting from Costa’s 16-point Gameweek 22 haul as he does his best to make light of the 59-point chasm that now separates our teams.

Elsewhere, we glide through the ScoutCast regulars, whilst taking time out to lament Kevin Mirallas and his latest bout of Baines-bullying that robbed us both of belated returns.

Count the cost via this link, or pay your dues via the handy player below…

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

    Any chance that Costa's ruthless antics may be behind all this and stamped on Sanchez's hammy while he was asleep?

      Same dilemma here although Oscar is in the mix for me as well. I've had Fab from the start but with the injury doubt and a blank coming up I'm inclined to ship.

      Was on Sterling until I checked his fixtures this morning, now I'm on Cazorla (despite having both Giroud and Sanchez)
