The ScoutCast – Episode One Hundred and Four – Smug

Wednesday’s midweek matches push the ScoutCast back 24-hours, offering you a Crackerjack style Friday afternoon “treat”. Granville and I could certainly “crush a grape” after reaping the rewards from the Robin Van Persie captaincy and we can’t help allowing our smugness to seep through on several occasions, as we take the opportunity to mock both the Professor and Jonty on the recent failings of Wayne Rooney. Small victories.

Those two characters crash the party to bring us the latest forecast from the Rate My Team computer as part of our weekend preview, while Jonty brings us another “fortunate” member of the community to suffer the usual brand of “Full Jonty” analysis. The familiar smattering of regulars glue it all together, as we keep the momentum going with the finishing line now in sight.

Grin and bear the delight at the Dutchman via this link, or stream this self-satisfied nonsense via the player below…

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

          Duncan was hospitalised during the first week in April 2012 after suffering a stroke, leaving him paralysed down the left side of his body. After nine weeks in hospital, he cancelled his summer season with comedy duo Cannon and Ball, to be replaced by Stu Francis.

    Ideally I want to get rid of Gervinho, but since Carzola and Silva are doubts I could do with replacing one of them with Michu ahead of the double game week.

    @siva:

    RVP was the reason Arsenal finished in top 4 last season.

    Winning a trophy isn't the only "achievement". Qualification for the UCL is of immense significance

    I predicted it would be called 'Smug' the second RVP scored against West Ham. 😉

      Not too shaby, tough on Walcott but nowhere in midfield for him to fit in. I prefer attacking players to get awards instead of defensive ones, so would do 3-5-2

      controversial but I would have Guzan as the GK.

      He and Benteke are the only 2 reasons Villa are avoiding relegation.
