Reluctantly creeping back into the studio, tail protruding between my weary legs, I cut a forlorn figure for the return of the ScoutCast. Nevertheless, after a two-week break, I brave another half-hour of bile and banter with host Mark to bring the curtain down on my season to forget.

The Samaritans listening needn’t be concerned. I was smiling by the end, if only to see Mark almost on his knees begging me to rethink any plans of Fantasy Football retirement. The very idea.

In between my whining, we give the season a post-mortem, speculate on next season’s prices and assess the tussle at the top of the FPL with another Scout winner still a possibility.

Get this one big miffed of a Scoutcast via this link or use the convenient little player below to stream away.

    As you go through life,
    It's a long, long road,
    There'll be joys and sorrows too,
    As we journey on, we will sing this song,
    For the boys in royal blue,
    We're often partisan, la, la, la,
    We will journey on, la, la, la,
    Keep right on to the end of the road,
    Keep right on to the end,
    Though the way be long,
    Let your hearts be strong,
    Keep right on round the bend,
    Though you're tired and weary,
    Still journey on,
    Till you come to your happy abode,
    Where all the love you've been dreaming of,
    Will be there. Where ?
    At the end of the road.
    Birmingham! Birmingham!

        An assist is awarded when the goalscorer receives the ball directly from a team-mate (including the goalkeeper) and scores without having to take the ball past an opponent. If the pass takes a small deflection which does not change the direction of the ball, it will still be given. No assists are awarded for own goals or penalties. Live assists are provisional and will be reviewed within 24 hours of the match.
