Here we are again. We should savour these moments – there’s very few left for a good while. The Saturday morning ritual will no doubt be missed once the next month has passed. For now, we’ve a Gameweek to tame and our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to lend a hand. Dip in for some real-time virtual chin-wagging before the bell tolls in just over an hour.
Before you go, here’s a recap of the key coverage we’ve brought to you from the Scout team this week…
- As always, we start with the Scout Picks. No Wayne Rooney? Imagine the scandal. Take in Sir P’s account of this week’s Scout Committee selection right here.
- Big Dunc likes some a little off the wall, a bit exotic. Once again he served up a platter of oddities in this week’s Differentials with the fragile talents of David Dunn topping the bill. Grab that brand of goodness here.
- Anorak is relentless is his examination of the man in the middle – determined to spot the trends and anticipate the influence of the weekend refs on our Fantasy returns. Men in Black is here to run the rule over the latest batch of whistle blowers.
- Andy resurrected the Captain Poll article, just in time to ponder the merits of wandering from the safe ground of Van Persie and Rooney. Dip back into this here.
- Jonty and Stilicho flipped open their notebooks to give a full assessment of the double Gameweek teams – did they find fruit amongst the scant branches of Villa and Bolton? Have a gander to find out.
- The Watchlist brought our view on Villa’s double Gameweek hopeful James Collins, while our Members were able to assess the talent available amongst the Relegation Candidates in this week’s Numbers Game feature.
- Akers and Superior Being have, once again, been running our cup competitions with blood, sweat, tears and efficiency. We’re up to the last sixteen in the Paddy Power Cup – here’s the draw with those involved. There’s always next season.
- Granville and I crept into a dark studio to record our whinings in the latest ScoutCast episode. Do we decide to dump the aforementiond RVP and Rooney? Get your ears round this to find out.
That should be enough to amuse you up until 11.30. If not, the Pre-match Preamble follows in just over half an hour. The Surgery chatroom will, of course, be flipping to Duguout Discussion around 12.30 to take in today’s cracking opener at the Emirates. Be there or go shopping. I know where I’d rather be…but I guess I’ll have to try to log in from Mothercare. Have another good one.
