The ScoutCast – Episode Ninety Eight – Splutter

28 February 2013 2585 comments

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.

Take the temperature of this latest episode via this link, or follow Doctors orders and stream your medicine via the player below…

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

    Bloody injury worries! Team currently:

    Begovic, Cerny
    Rafael, Zabaleta, Enrique, Davies, Wilson
    Mata, Walcott, Bale, Fellaini, Michu
    Lambert, VP, Sturridge

    Worth doubling up on Pool forwards and bringing in Suarez for VP for a hit?

    I can't get online tomorrow or Saturday so need to confirm my team today. Currently have 2FT and 4.4M and want to carry over 1 FT to cope with GW29 (although I do have 10 available players at the moment)
    Bego
    Wilko - Cuellar - Davies
    Fellaini - Bale - Walcott - Sissoko - Michu
    RVP - Suarez

    Foster - Pog - O'Brien - Turner

    Pog looks the obvious transfer with Lambert or Sturridge as options (would have 8.8 to spend)
    Or O'brien/Wilko to Johnson/Enrique

    If you are going to slate Doosra on 'The Full Jonty', don't limit it to just one week.

    Carrying on the jaunts into the following week can only increase the entertainment.

        If you are going to threaten a duck with ending up in a sauce, at least choose the best sauce for duck.

        I recommend Black Cherry sauce.

    The feeling when you realize that after doing Fellaini -> Sissoko next week you only have three non-playing players in GW29 and with WC still intact! 😀

    Good to see that the Scoutcast is back, however I would have to save it until tomorrow morning. No time right now devote myself for an hour of listening. 🙁
