The ScoutCast – Episode 58 – Holy Moses

This week’s episode of the FFS podcast features some classic match-ups – Nani vs Young, Narni vs Nanny, Tomayto vs Tomahto, Sessegnon v Row Z, Common Sense vs Mark.

All battles are resolved, with the regular stalwarts of the ScoutCast thrown in, culminating with Mark’s desperate defence of his seemingly unshakable faith in Victor Moses. Also, look out for a mention of my Champions League placing – England’s number one for 24 hours no less.

Grab the goodness here…

Did I mention I was England’s number one in the Champions League game? (edit – I see Mark has been busy editing my post)

      Doesn't souund like a great plan to me this week, Dzeko will probably start and he's up against a pretty threadbare defence.

        In principal I agree. But Mancini is a tad unpredictable. To be honest it would make
        more sense if aguero was rested.

    If only all managers were as forthcoming as Alan Pardew:

    "Santon will not play Saturday, 100%, so it does not give me a difficult decision,”

    “But he will travel. It has been a really big week for him and I am really pleased. There is nothing worse than coming to a new club with an injury record that is not perfect and then getting injured again. For him to be fit is a really good thing.”
