The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Eight – Splutter

The ScoutCast emerges from under the duvet, Lemsip soaked and coughing and spluttering its way towards a century of episodes. After a two-week break, the full crew are assembled as Granville joins me to celebrate his Gameweek victory, Professor Chris Atkinson returns from the slopes to charge up his “Rate My Team” computer and Jonty chips in with another community-powered “Full Jonty”.

Around this we discuss the unlikely scenario of selling on Robin, give our Scout League leaders a shout-out, analyse the transfer ins and outs in “All Aboard” and look ahead to the weekend’s programme.

The “Full Jonty” rounds things off as “Ginkapo” gets the treatment, prompting a love-in with a certain Serbian left-back.

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

    Mad to do Walcott and RVP out, Bale and Lambert in?

    My reasoning for the RVP out, Lambert in move is the fact that RVP 95% won’t play this week, then there’s a blank. Lambert is in good form and has 2 tasty fixtures coming up.

    My reasoning for Walcott out, Bale in is….well.…it’s Bale.
