Let's mention our sponsors Who are vector printing for your printing embroidery needs go to vector dot co dot UK and that's vector with a fake up And oh don't forget you can buy F YP t-shirts via vector go to t-shirt monster dot com forward to F YP We're also sponsored by JC is the global research and brand consultancy from south London visit JC hyphen is dot com That is one bad hangover Chaps yeah, how do you think up final I woke up this morning? It's the nobody blows I'm very good. I'm literally for five minutes couldn't remember if I was an undercover policeman That's so hungover. What did you wake up next a green piece demonstrate? It's a very good legal reference that Neat references that's even more nice than I know what you're talking about every piece There's it's the case of some undercover policeman some years I've done this in the first five minutes They can't find a book I believe it infiltrated green piece and imprinting it in and infiltrated some of the green piece activists As to use their excuse tripped over them on the carpet whilst naked And of course they'll take the end so the FA cup Policy going back to Wembley yeah back to Wembley should I mean so far shouldn't have been a Wembley anyway for the FA Cup final How do you feel about this? This is this is just weird. I don't think I don't think I've fully taken it yet to be Perfect definitely I'm not taking it yet. Just cuz I'd forgotten until very late last night that if we win the FA Cup You get a place in Europe happen So they're all those bizarre things this this awful season we're having to turn out to be the best season we've ever had yeah Yeah, and part of his obviously the best why he's not even the manager already It was just odd this morning getting on the train feeling terrible Obviously well having listened to the radio in the morning and listen to Radio 5 and Radio 4 just seeing Parrish talking They've all talked about and read reference in 1990 then pick up the Metro on the train this morning and just reading headlines It's just like so we're the power's are everywhere and it's you know as a sunk-in Also, we didn't do it the hard way either because normally you expect you think that's gonna be extra time powers But we actually would be a team right from the start. Yeah, we will she would never have been one all alone you know, so it was just fantastic and we scored Well soft goal, but the first goal was Literally a brief play of the final goal from 1990 Yeah, she had on part who scored which apparently he's taking credit for obviously Of course, he's taken credit for it Because he told the players beforehand and he said but they had to do that. Yeah, remember his goal So I can't forget about she keeps showing us on the loop It was absolutely perfect. It was a perfect performance wasn't it really it was This big fair wasn't that good a game. No, but Palace played brilliantly We did we and we did what it what James is in particular asked them to do Which just picks a half on the start and I just got on the front and get on the front foot And we started on the front foot We never really and if you what for they were really recovered from it really and they were terrified as a heart and Everyone played really well, but again One of the many reasons I want me they didn't have to lift the FA carpet So you can lift the FA Cup and then walk over to where we're sitting and throw it at us Go to the genre, man. Not good enough for this division. Am I? You want me to restart it is a because he was immense. It's there were a lot of heroes yesterday, but he was definitely one that is best game for Palace I think so in the cards in the circumstances and coming. I know there's still people who try to be cynical say well It's cut out for him. That's what a game, but he Yeah, most games in the Premier League are like that. So he was just Fantastic, and he's sat in tangible that we've talked about he just gives us a physical presence on the pitching and leadership and it's So much time and space you gave for Tobias today most of their attempting to get broken up by music. He was fantastic I mean party got it's born didn't he and he got the lineup right subs for just about right everything was kind of perfect But not so too much I'm like out to his head, hey For a bit of a party with an eagle, having four fans When I think so, I mean, you know much as I mean we Though there've been a number of fans who have criticized the selection of Gednack even though they haven't been any real credible alternatives to him in recent months And sometimes he's been overly harshly criticized including by us on this pot. You know that they've been fans who at times have had a real go about Balassie plans slightly more centrally which again he did at times yesterday They've been fans who you know want to see it a very rigid sort of four three three with the two defined wide men being on their own flank each time and things not interchanging and not liking that level of fluidity and there are people who You know don't really like us going toe-to-toe with teams in the manner that requires a Gednack being in the center of the pot But all of those things were necessary. Yes, they bought for play a very direct game It was always going to be the case that you needed to make sure that you want all the airables against Troy Dina who is a good player and showed with his head of you know that he's a very good player and Gednack for the most part did that, you know one just about everything in the air and he provided that platform to An able sorry or allow or put both of them together allow could buy just a sort of Strong majestically around the park they can off passes and it's just really really great performance to watch I can't remember a palace match that I've enjoyed watching more and frankly were it not for us being a little bit wasteful in the final Third and Craig Paulson decided he just didn't want to make a decision of any formal afternoon I think it would have been a lot more comfortable. I thought goodbye Had one of his better games, but but I thought it was nice that was down the Gednack Yeah, you know goodbye knew the gender at that area salt suss and salty then We know what kabai can do when he's given the time is space to make those passes and some of his balls out to will from And Yarl would great, but but you have those two who were on fire. You see that they were so if it's all that Their control and their directness made kabai's Yeah contribution to even more so it was everything is adding to the some of his parties. Yeah, yeah And I thought Swari we're going with respect because the pitch is quite big Swari had a really good game Going forward because he's enough to do much defensively. I just want to actually personally take a lot of credit for this for two reasons Number one. I did my customer because I always lose bets. I put 20 quid on what for yesterday and also Around to the 55 minute mark. I said and I quote Connor Wickham is having an absolute shock today I take him off immediately. Did you really say that? I did say that he wasn't having a shotgun. Well, there we go Obviously the job's not having a show. You're the only one sober as well. So that we watch it. There we go. Obviously not the right one Both Connor Wickham's had a really good That's what we paid the money for. I mean, that's the Connor Wickham. We were expecting him in that well His header was absolutely phenomenal for the guy I think the only thing I felt with his performance up to the goal was just he was being a little bit bullied by the what for defense But I thought porcelain was giving our team absolutely no protection Wilf was being booted all over the pitch. I know it's a little bit Chirlish the criticized referee in performance after a day is fantastic as yesterday was But he offered very little protection to to Wilf to goodbye and that times to Wickham who has been you know Throwing all over the place and to be disappointed to be fair to the ref I think I think what the what for fans would probably say the same thing about us because we could be quite robust in the tackles Well, so I think the probably reference made a decision to let both sides pretty much go with it Yeah to stay but I thought Wickham's mobility was really important and didn't see much of the ball But he was dragging the center boats around and he was bringing the fallbacks inside as well So to give space to Balacian. It was sort of it was it was the performance It was a performance from that 11 or certainly, you know that to I guess it's that 11 minus MacArthur That we'd hoped for all season that we'd thought of known Listing to part you being interviewed he was on the radio and said earlier was on the radio and I heard him He's on two of three separate occasions. He was saying this is that this is the team I wanted to pick I've only been allowed to play in this team seven or eight times So this is the eighth time. Yeah, so but he was saying This is my first choice 11 and if I've had these the whole season we'd be a lot higher on the table So not including MacArthur. Well, I think I'm kind of assuming that it on a normal day would put MacArthur in But I think I think he's told I think Jedi will probably play the rest of the season. Yeah Do I think that's hard use hinting that there's no point with we don't need to respect half of that No, if you know I was playing like this and we don't need to fear the last three games I think that's his point. What an option to have off the bench You know, let's not put his recovery back by six months. Yeah, I mean when you don't and obviously we will need him in Europe Give me a lot of mid-week games Do you think in a way that The way we play where we set up the way party's saying we're gonna Try and win games every game season. Actually James. We are kind of the perfect cup team in a way And that's been proven as well that has been proven. Yeah, it's been proved with We we always power to have always Played better when we're up against it, you know Whether it be a bad team or the chips are down or you know, we've always been there and I think almost maybe this bad This bad league run that we've been in just hopefully coming to an end I think that's maybe you're going to an ethical game and you sort of get what the hell, you know And you just go for it and that's the power so we all know I'm loving There's there's got to be a correlation between the two that has to be it looks all that on piece of paper And I'm sure it is that although I thought yes, sir I thought it was a farm on measured and mature performance nice thing from paladin quite a while actually Yeah, you know, just every time they lost the ball They were immediately back into shape like there were but you know what it is and I think it is that they went out Full-on health letter they go go in within five minutes and that's settled. They'll never do And rather than taking their father better they continue to press and continue to work I think it was I think it's really pressing before yes, you're right But it's interesting as part of you was talking a lot about the sports psychologist that he's got in and It's slightly worrying me because he was talking before Lester game But we're gonna do this we're gonna do that and we didn't do any of that and then but clearly Whatever the psychologist did Or whatever what part you could it seem to work is right from the start of what we were on it and the way that what for Watford word and we then we maintain that this is it's like It's not like we scored the goal in setback and so for the sense. It's like we clearly knew there are more goals in us As it and I've been probably wanted three four one would have been more of a fair reflection on the actual Well, there's always that thing that when you score if you score a goal in about the 60s 70th minute, then you can you can solve You could defend for the rest of the game, but when you there's nothing you can sometimes go too early and scoring with him first five minutes Like oh my god, we got 85. Yeah. He's gonna be hell. That was my initial first Yeah, it's fine. It's gonna be hell But also, you know, but all all trades part you all creates the team. It wasn't hell It was the psychologically for I mean, I know we joke about it and part you has been mentioning it But part you says he spoke to the players at length about how difficult it is to defend the opposed Headers and flick-ons and how you let's see if we can score a goal like my one and then when it comes off that early That it must kind of give the players of okay. They'd be like, oh, actually it works. Yeah, that's great Yeah, we can do that again because we looked dangerous every set piece we got and we were just it was just so good to see us Being so positive for the whole game And also they didn't look nervous Well, they didn't really look overall by the I guess a lot of the players are there two or three years ago But yeah, five of them were there five of them But you know, there's they just seem to take it all in their style. They're very relaxed when they came out You know, yeah, the anecdote was there, but he wasn't picked was he that he's on the bench He's from he's from Lee's oh, did I read somewhere I read some of the on his boots It had special boots made with the the journey from his mom's house to Wembley. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, brilliant There was been quite a short journey because he hasn't got really big feet as a Quite I imagine it was a good one. I think the fans as long as I think because I know what food would talk about the fact That they had three or four they're starting them were played against us in 2013 They thought they'd let the fans down and hadn't really turned up on a day and would be and by an optically good palace team And that wouldn't happen again, but they just looked more overall than us from the start I mean and it it must help the Palace fact the players coming out to see That orchestrated the strife it was fantastic. Yeah, you know what for players must must then go Christ They're really up for this. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not seeing much coming from around it. So that must it We're good. We think we've had a quite it still feels like we're quite a few decent Wembley slash Cardiff slash date out. Yeah, fairly recently, isn't it? We're good at it as fans We're good at that. Well, we are unbeaten at the new Wembley. Yeah. Yeah, we're unbeaten. So that's it Well, you know Those little tiny things do you hear I come they all add up these little tiny things Yeah, we do it as fans. We don't know we seem to be able to own It's the players you go back to a place where they they're used to winning of course the world. So Kev can I ask you question? I don't know. We ask questions as part, but I know you're quite suspicious as soft suspicious. I'm superstitious to all of us, but you directly was like We all did certain things yesterday. We went to certain bars. We went to some people We're all going to do the same thing before we start. No, I'm betting on the opposition is costing me an absolute fortune You have to let a little bit of knowledge. Yeah, you're gonna do the same thing. Well, I know because it's a much let it kick off So I'm not starting a nine o'clock at Victoria. We're we're supposed to get It's an hour and a half later and they're well, yeah, but I don't know if he is a lot with any weather sports, isn't it? Basically other other other pub chains are I won't be leaving early this time if that's No, we have to do similar. I'm gonna wear the same outfit and go to the same booth. Yeah, he's only got two hoodies Absolutely furious Jens keep going keep going She still get better than me she really did on Sunday. Yeah, congratulations to Jim Anyone else One lad that tweeted us we ran the marathon and then literally ran straight to Wembley and watched and watched again I saw quite a few Palace fans on the route and running as well, so but I'm pretty hard to impress it is. I've done it He's just done 27. Yeah So I'm gonna show it in between us together. Someone's run the marathon. Oh, really? Yeah, that was the thing Jen did say to me when she saw that I'd been sitting there. She's like did you tell him about the marathon? I just don't know how that conversation would have gone And as you were saying earlier about that when the chips are down Palace are good at battling the odds. Yeah, that's the yesterday. We were actually favorites We were and everyone in the media was saying it's Palace if Yannick and Wolf turn up it's Palace It's Palace. So have we now actually maybe turned into a team that maybe on cup games can actually kind of rise Dedication if we are if we are favorite. I just think the Talk about this the sports psychology and the psychology on the way that a lot of football is played in players heads And I think it really is these days I think a lot of the the romance of the cup that we all talk about. I think it was all there I think the fact that we were after the man You know that game made a big difference because it was there. It wasn't like oh, we've got everything We've got my you know out there Alan Parge of the whole Romans for 26 years and all that I think that that it was in all the supports minds So it's bound to be in the players minds. I think that was also right. We've got to do it We've got to do it for those 35,000 people out there. We've got to do it for everybody I think that's what it was. It was in a sense that they were battling it So yes, they're a great cup team because it's Palace love a drama. We all know that They love a drama and that and it's this whole thing is a soap opera. It's brilliant It's so great the psychology you talk about I can understand them going okay It's not if we lose today. We're at the couple. We don't lose three points being you think that's something that's Changeable by a half-decent manager of psychology surely is more to it than that. It's Yeah, because we've played decent to me. That's the one reason we've had we've had a really difficult route It's not like the last time 1990 when we didn't play the first division team to the semi-final We've had to play good teams and mostly away from home But I think one of the way we've been playing this cup run is how we were playing in the first half The season. That's how we were playing. We were you know, we were we were sat here a critically yesterday Yes, that is how we played in the first half of the season It wasn't it was a great powerful as it wasn't an unusual one because we've seen it a lot this year We just haven't seen it for the last three months. Yeah, so is it simply down to injuries then because yesterday We had our almost first team 11 all fit and was it simply down to the fact that when we lost some injuries in December? We just couldn't cope with it. Yeah, but we had the injuries in the cup games as well So how come we were so good in the cup? Because I just you know, if we knew then we'd be managing Premier League club, but we wouldn't be sat around and say because the luck was running heavily against us at times And you know even yesterday we were by far the better team But we still scrape through by one goal and but for, you know, whether you're a really draggy shot You know, they can end up getting a really undeserved Two two can end up scraping it through to penalty isn't jamly winning because one hits Hennessy on the back of the heading goes in off his Leatherman feet. It can't be quite great. He can't know one of these points, can he? Even in his fantasies. Surely in your fantasies he should be a good goalkeeper, shouldn't he? But the thing is we've had to be even in this cup, we've had some runs of luck like in the Southampton game Top of the way we've had games where like yesterday we weren't unlucky We weren't lucky at all and we deserved to win by easily and by far But the luck didn't run against us. Whereas in the league it just has at times. They've been games where But for Delaney not actually is backed by a tiny sentiment, so one way or the other you get a draw against Leicester And so on and so forth and they've been sort of, you know, various rubs of the green that have gone against us in the league that haven't in the cup So are we a better team then than our league one in 2016 indicates? Yeah, we've had this discussion before. We were not going to use Andy's favourite phrase, but we probably weren't a fifth player. Mine's a Guinness. We probably weren't a fifth-place team when we were fifth and we're definitely not a 17th-place team. As part of you said, only the eighth time he's been out to pick that team, our first team is a good side. It's just the squad's not sticking up. I think it's reproverses that you need a squad in the Premier League. And hopefully we'll get a couple of positive results in the last two of those. Yeah, because if we, there's only, what, three points between us to 11th? Yeah, it's very close. It's quite feasible that we could finish 12th, 13th, whatever we'll go at. You look at the same, we've got a good season. They're in a cup final. That's a really good season. I mean, the thing that perhaps the last sort of couple of months and certainly few weeks we've shown is that if anything, the problem is certainly not the quality of the first them. You want to look at each individual position apart from perhaps goalkeeper and say, well, that's in need of an upgrade. But you look at a lot of the immediate backup options, like Sako, like Jung Lee, like much. You just haven't really done it whenever they've been called upon. And you look at the United game apart from Zaha'u's, you know, bursting around. That looked like a very, very, very poor football team. And that was only with a few sort of changes across various positions. So, I mean, that, for me, is where the main improvement is going to probably be needed in the summer, just to improve all of those just immediate backup positions. Yeah. So, would you guys play weekend teams in the last three league games? No. No, not at all. I just don't want to be caught just a bit of a renegade. Football is all about momentum. It's all about keeping your confidence high. Keep your confidence high. Keep going, keep going, keep going. If we go to that final, having won the next three games... Well, also... You can't feel weak at it, because we still need points to stay up. That's true. I'm not going to say we're going down, but we need points to make us safe technically. How many do we need? 1.3? I don't think it's three to be mathematically. But one of those games is against Newcastle, so... Yeah, I mean, Newcastle got a villa to play. So, I don't think Norwich is something we wouldn't win any many of those games, but we still got points to play for. And then, James is absolutely right. You can't. I think as you could get into tripping over the stairs, or falling over the cats, you might as well play your best team. And also, as I'm sure Steve Parrish will point out, so if you get a hundred grand for each place, it's funny. So, it might not seem a lot in the scheme of things. All the buildings, all the buildings, all the buildings, all the buildings, all the buildings, all the buildings, all the buildings. It might not seem a lot in the scheme of things with all the money that's coming in, but it's still a couple of million, including if he's finished. And you've got to finish with momentum, because, you know, if we go to Southampton, and we're safe, it'll be a great game. We need momentum to lead us into Europe, you know, to lead us into the field. And all these things, we've got to carry through a lot of the summer. Because you'd be delighted for United when it's a bit... As Watford did, we talked about this last week, because we've still been on the fringes of the relegation battle, which our games have still had an intensity and Watford knocked off a few weeks ago, so this Watford got to 40 points. They knocked off, they went on the back foot, and you can't pick it up again, even at Wembley. It's really hard if you haven't been coasting through games. It's really hard to pick that up, and then plus all the speculation about their manager. So all these things, you know, the last thing you want is to go into this cup final off the back of three defeats, and people going, well, we need to look at the manager. We are going anyway, whatever. Oh, good for going. It's exciting, yeah. We're in a cup final. It's exciting, isn't it? Yeah, the Mickey Mouse tournament we talked about. Yeah, it's rubbish, isn't it? Oh, no, come around to my point of view, Kevin. Very interesting. I said I'd be the happiest man alive if you like it. You do, but I still want us to stay up as the most important thing. You're saying even now, unbelievable. It is crazy, though, isn't it? They're actually in the FA cup final. It sounds beautiful. It's great. It's exciting. He should be. And it's so dessert from everybody, all to the club. It's brilliant. And we'll have a brilliant day out. And we will make twice as much noise as you like today. Yeah, we'll just buy sitting down. We've got twice as far as travel, so. Well, that's true. Can we kind of have a word then for Connor Wickham? Obviously, we mentioned him earlier, but score. Legend. Score that header. That's what that'll do, yeah. Okay, good, right. I know. Go on. Yeah, go on. But do you think in the last couple of weeks, or certainly on Sunday, he's shown that he could actually, because we had a whole season and we were saying, could Wickham do it? Could he not injured? Could he be that guard top row? Well, he looked. It's not so much the last couple of weeks, but in the two games where he scored four goals in two games. Yeah. He looked there like he was capable of scoring goals in the Premier League. I mean, that was a really old-fashioned goal yesterday. Proper old-fashioned 1970s Cup final start. You know, across the central defender had no chance. He had no chance. So, yeah, I think, I was discussed before, other people will score goals with him in the team as well. So, in a way, it says a bit odd to say about a striker. His goals will be a bonus. But even if he got 12 goals a season, then other people will score and that would be better than we've had for the scoring. He does more than that, doesn't he? He does. It's a big deal. He's got all the attributes. He's a hold-up sent to Ford if he wanted to be. He's a proper anti-carole type sent to Ford if he wanted to as well. And we saw yesterday with Suarez Cross. He said, "We can get some better service into him next year." Because the one thing that Will still needs to improve is the final delivery. The rest of his game has been brilliant. Then there's definitely goals in him without a doubt. A bit more creativity in midfield to feed him as well. And he's young as well. He's only 22, 23. I think we write people sometimes. We do great, don't we? I don't think any power fans have been writing them off, have they? No, I don't think so. I think he's been a bit of a weight-up opposition against that. I think the way he celebrated yesterday, and that's not just, you know, obviously anybody would be excited to score a potential. He wasn't winning goal. He didn't know that at the time, but winning goal at Wembley. You're going to be excited. He's part of the club, you can tell. He's part of the fabric of it now. And I think that really, that will give him a lot of confidence. Also, getting the tube home as well, which is... Yeah, of course. We've been bouncing. We're talking about this before we came on air. On air. Listen to me. Before we started recording. And the fact is that, "Well, can't we go to the tube home?" You think, "Like, if you'd scored the winning goal, and if it comes on, finally, I'd get the flipping tube home." "I'm bringing you all." Yeah, of course. Yeah. Not that one. Score a winning goal in the semi-final. I can see it happening. Yeah, well. Didn't say which semi-final, but I mean, I can see it happening. All right, Street. Well, I think it is for the system. Also, can I just say, it was great to bump into Steve Copple yesterday. Yes, but it just got better and better. It was insane. So, we saw Andy Johnson a half time just having a bit of it. And then, we're coming out after this. "Oh, great. We're in the FA Cup final." I don't know if you can walk past, but Steve Copple just thought this was ridiculous. It was insane. He would be complete with something in the Stephen Copple just read a bit of it. He was... He started off being a bit like a reticent. A reticent in Shilide. I go, "Oh, I don't want this." And then, all it took was two seconds in Endicott's company. It's very good work. You say, "Bunked into." The word "ravaged" was the word I heard. I'm so told you that. It was a fish. The other fish was a lot of it. It's hard to say, it's hard to say reticent. If you've got an enthusiastic endicott jumping over there. It was lovely. He was loving it. Well, he was sort of wearing a black beanie hat. Like, he was trying to get away with that. He noticed, but... Tough. That didn't work. Right. Right. Okay, right. Let's end part one there. In part two, we've got a lot of questions from my listeners. So, we're going to answer those in part two. So, John, it's in a bit. Hello listeners. Welcome back to this week's Five Year Plan podcast. The hangovers are getting worse. That's the number we'll get tattooed on around in. Okay. What's your name? Okay. We are sponsored by Vector Printing. Surely, if we get to win the final, then you'll get that one instead. I'll tell you what to do. I'll get Vector printed with my face. How do you do that? Anyway... I'll take them for all this sponsorship. With a K. Yeah. Speaking of which. I will. Speaking of which. You can visit vector.co.uk. Oh, it's going to be a long day. I just want to go home. All right. Well, let me get on with it. And then we can. You can visit vector.co.uk. Vector with that? Okay. Okay. And JCIS Global Research and Brand Consultancy from South London. Visit JC-IS.com. I will.

Listeners, but thank you for sending me in. I'm going to try and get through as many as I can. Okay. Hi. Tony says, "Is this now officially a successful season in brackets provided we don't go down?" Yes. Well, yes. The very big brackets, yes. The provider we go. It's basically been Alan Pardew in the form of a single football season. Yes. You've had the ridiculous long streak of good, but slightly lucky form. You've had the ridiculously long streak of bad, but unlucky form. You've had a very memorable, semi-final moment. You've had players getting stick for just running around a lot, but not adding a lot. And it's ended with a cup final. Yes. If it hadn't been such an extraordinary season for most clubs, then this would be one of the biggest stories of the season. Yeah. Because everybody's pretty much lost. That's the best. Upstage. Well, no, it's not. It's part from West Brom and Everton. It's been a remarkable season for most clubs, really, for good or bad reasons. So we've slightly gone under the radar a little bit. Of course, it will be a brilliant season. And if we win the FA Cup. But maybe it's the perfect season for us to be having this run, because it's a season where loads of weird stuff's happening. Do you know what's been really good? What was really good yesterday about it? I meant to say it's the first half about fans, because we spoke about a couple of times this season that, in previous seasons, everyone's been speaking about Palace fans. And at the end of the season, everyone says we're some of the best fans in the country, but I think we'd forgotten that until we reminded the whole country as today how good Palace fans were. It's great that the commentary was now on the BBC. We haven't really got a guy, the stadium is literally the same. And it was, you could feel that on the feet, it was absolutely brilliant. But it wasn't literally shaking. It actually was, that you could feel under the feet. They're designed to do that. It's like earthquakes. They need to move a little bit otherwise, they're just cracking. I don't know if you're telling the truth or not. So I'm going to move on to next question. You've sold them in my own house. I don't know, you might, I don't know. Really? Why would they be, why'd they move? Does that work in the Kevin's A household? There's lots of earthquakes in North. That's terrible. That's terrible. It's designed to move, aren't they? Yeah. In high winds and earthquakes. You know that. Okay, yeah, okay. I'm giving it. All right, well, okay. I believe in you. A bit give and take. The next question is from Michael Prendigast. Michael Prendigast. Oh, Michael. He says, "Now with Jedi feeling the force again and MacArthur back from injury, should we be focusing on other areas to recruit in summer or as midfield still a problem?" Good question. I would still be surprised if Jenn Nett was a regular starter next season, and I do think we need more creativity in midfield, but it's not a priority. But it's needed. Yeah, unlike a lot of clubs, we'll be trying to unearth our own versions of Mars and Kontay, I should think. Yeah. Because they've spoken quite clearly. We're a club that lots of people know will be spent money, so they've spoken a lot about the new scaling network that we've got. So I would still expect to see more people coming in next season. No matter how well Jenn Nett's played, I still don't think Pardu really, really rigid. And I think, in the moment, he's sort of undroppable because he's played so well. But we were saying for the Port of the World that he obviously played well yesterday, but he's sort of a leader. He offers more than just his abilities on the pitch. Yeah, that's true. I think there's somebody else that'll switch somewhere on today. Jenn Nett is one of those players who needs to play. He gets better and better of every game he plays, and when he misses games... But Hennessy's one of those players he needs not to play. Oh, God. He's done nothing really. I know. We're through to the cut final, and he still can't resist it. Oh, no, it's still ridiculous. And we dropped him and we lost all traffic, too. Yeah, you're a little dewy again, and then a couple of goals. Man, I'm nice. Good, thank you. Okay, there's another question about another midfielder, and it comes from Chris Humphries. Hi, Chris. It says, "Like, mention..." Oh, mate, they're way too old for that reference. I think you did that the last time you sent a question. Probably do the next one as well. Good, consistent. Look at how Humphries are milk stealing. You explained it last time. That's right. Yeah, I understand it now, because you guys explained it. You still look like you understand. You're not so confused. I sort of remember. This is the look. Oh, it's true. The next question is from Chris Humph. You've done a bit. It's true. Like many. Like many. You guys put me off. Like many. I've been a bit ambivalent about goodbye this season, but did that performance alone yesterday justify the transfer fee? Not alone, but it's indicated what we thought we were getting when we bought him, I think. I think we saw Glimson at the beginning of the season, wouldn't we? Yeah, and it shows that I kind of think he's wasted in that sole defensive midfield role that he was playing for a lot of the season. I think you saw what happened when you've got somebody there to do the legwork and free him up a little bit, because he's still putting the tackles and the interceptions in. But he was much more free yesterday to do the sort of role that we know he can do. And some of his passing was as good as seeing all season for them. I mean, the thing I think I've always thought about goodbye is that essentially he's one of those sort of players who is almost a function of the players that he's got around him, in that if he's in a great team, he'll be absolutely phenomenal. He's almost like a very, very different player, but almost similar to a Javi. You put him and surround him with brilliant players, and he'll look even better. If you surround him with poor players, because he's not the sort of guy who's going to, you know, got an amazing run like Wilves Arjo. He's not the sort of player to raise a poorly performing team or a poor team out of a row or out of, you know, sort of depth of ineptitude. But he will, if he's in a great team or in a team that's playing great, look absolutely fantastic. And that's certainly what he did yesterday. Yeah, he was sort of a big game performance change, wasn't it? It was a big game for us from a lot of players yesterday. I think Wilves was outstanding yesterday. Yeah. I thought Blassey did a shift. I think they were all good. I can't think of anything. But I'll say anything was rubbish. But apart from that... OK, I've got a question. It wasn't, by the way, I was just lying. Spire's no conflict. Was it either both of them? No, no, no. I actually thought he was actually far apart from one class. He was far from one class. He was far from the first half. There's one course in the first half that he sort of flapped at. But apart from that, I thought he was actually brilliant. Although I do have a question about him. And a question from Dave Cook. Hi, Dave. Hi, Dave. He says, "Without wishing to get Andy on one, in quotes, would Julian have saved Dini's header?" Oh, it's very difficult to answer those questions. Well, I'm resident Hennessy Critic in Chief. No, I don't think you would, actually. It's really, really close range. Yeah. Absolutely fired in. I think you're going... I completely agree with J.D. that Hennessy got it a little bit wrong on one cross. I don't know. I don't think he can fall this performance too much. I mean, he does when he dives for any ball at like he's falling over rather than diving. And he still did that yesterday. And I've now coached it in terms of criticism. But to criticise him for that goal, I think, would be slightly overly harsh. It'd be very harsh. Yeah. You'd need to look at the marking. Yeah. If you've got to criticise anything. So I don't think... I think we've probably over-criticised Timothy. Well, we have not on this podium. Well, I think we've spoken too much about him. It's because he's become an issue, though. Yeah, but he shouldn't have been that much of an issue. I've been aiming for the Arsenal goal, and that was probably unfair. I think he probably has become more of an issue. Because I think the podium's perfectly happy with him from what I can get a lot. And I'd be surprised if Hennessy wasn't our first to its keeper next season. But, you know, we have to remember what Julian was on when he first came in. Yeah. And the more Hennessy plays, the more confidence you'll get. And the platforming, you know, Dan's been talking about him quite a lot recently. They're clearly on his side, so I think he will be our... And maybe that relationship between back four and keeper and that kind of confidence doesn't happen overnight. Maybe it takes a bit of time for it to happen. Maybe it takes six months. Well, maybe it does. Well, I think... I think... Stop tuning out a great game of old traffic, but it's very difficult to say... ...what a different keeper. It's not a position. Yeah. So, Hennessy prefers Hennessy because of the better kicking, the better distribution he says. And I can understand that's a certain extent. I thought Julian had a terrific game of old traffic, but, you know, there are certain instances where he just doesn't get the distance on his clearances that... ...the Hennessy doesn't. It seems like an almost sort of retrograde 1950s where I'm looking at football, the keeper can't kick it as far, so I'm going to drop him. But I can understand it's a certain extent. As much as I was delighted to see Sparoli playing at Old traffic, it was slightly annoying that it came the week after I said on his pod. He'll never win. Taffy will never see him in a paddock. Get used to it. More shows in Ultimate. So much of his paddock. That also proves that maybe someone was listening at the club. Oh, there you go. I don't think that's it. I've got another question about Jedi that I should have done in the last bit, and it's from Jack Pierce. Oh, Jack. He says, "Where does Jedi rank in your list of favourite Palace skippers?" Well, that's an interesting question. If you ask that about Palace players, he probably wouldn't be in the top of the... ...but as a captain, I think he's a really good captain, because he's one of those captains you can actually see what he does. There's a lot of times of captain tosses the coin, and that's it, and he's not always obvious, but he's probably there, and you can see. So I think that's a good question. I think he would certainly rank high. He'll rank very high if we win the FA Cup. Well, obviously. But I think what he's done for us already, you know, he's led us out of the championship, he's led us to a mid-table finish, he's been there for all these moments. I think he's got a good shout-out of being a... He's picked by four different managers now, is it? Three? Yeah, four, four. So clearly, they already... He's doing something right. Yeah, exactly. I mean, you'd still say... I mean, when he first joined, he didn't look ready for the championship, like the Premier League, and you'd still, if you'd been totally honest, would probably say he'd be a brilliant championship player, but he's just over-performing. He's a good player, but he's a really good... He's a good leader, he definitely embodies the word. Yeah, absolutely. And beard. The next question comes from Christopher Gile. Oh, Christopher, I think last time texted in and said it was Gile, or Gile, it wasn't that common. I think we worked out it was Chris Gile. Chris Gile, Chris Gile. I'm going to call him Gile. He says, "Should I keep trying to convince my mate to name his son, born yesterday, Yannick Connor?" Oh, great, very... A good name. Yes, he should carry on. So his initial enthusiasm has given away to a perhaps understandable deference to his wife's wishes. But I think I'm very relevant when we say he should name it well. Yannick. We didn't ever tattoo what we were told to do. I don't think we've got a writer, but just in terms of future relationship, we used to... You did get a tattoo. In his voice, foot down, just in terms of future relationship, he can't go, you know, letting people have the final... So, you know, now it's 1952. Exactly. Yeah. Otherwise... Or he could do what Neil Ruddick did, and not tell his wife that he called his baby... What? The rest of his baby's birth is another name, Pevils. Pevils. Yeah, after the Flintstone character, and then didn't tell his wife, he told his wife that he called the baby whatever it was that he was on. It was only when he applied to school that he had to say, "No, it's not actually her name." His name is Pevils. Really? What is Pevils? Pevils Ruddick. Amazing. Yannick's a great name though, that's a really cool name. Yannick is a cool name. It is a cool name. It is a cool name. Yeah. It's Connor his surname. Connor's a second name. Second name, I think, Connor. Yannick Connor's a good name. Yannick Connor's a good name. Yannick Connor's a good name. That's your film star. He does. He does. Yannick, Andy James, James, Kevin. Yes. Obviously, he's very focused. Yes, he's very focused. He's very focused. Yeah. Yeah. Good. And now the people at home, believe it or not, describes them the fact that Tony just went through those names. Who are we? James. Kevin. James and Andrew. Who are those people? He's just the four horsemen of the apocalypse. J.D. Yeah, no, it's because he didn't say Jim. So I got confused. Sorry, James. The next question is from Ben Allen. Hi, Ben. He says, "Should the club be recorded loud and over for the final? And if not, will you guys do it?" Oh, we'll do it, happily. Shall we do it? I'm Ben Allen, 1965 records. Yeah. Probably how good now? Did you do it? Yeah. You could put it out digitally. You could get all of your bands together, right? Getting to record that as a special single. Shall we do it? I'm sure. I do have like seven inch of the 1990 power squad kicking around somewhere. We'll have some money, don't we? Is it really? Yeah, yeah. Who, too? You got it on Pink Vinyl? No. Was it on Pink Vinyl? No. What are you on about that? I painted it on Pink. You painted it on Pink. Did you? Did you? We did. I've got a UK subsidy idea and brand vinyl. Oh, that's worth a bit money. The club's done the same. We've done cup songs. It seems to have fallen out of fashion a little bit recently, but... Has it? Yeah. No one does it. About the same time as tie dye, frankly. People haven't done cup songs for about 20 years now. I love cups songs. Oh, I think we should bring them back. We should do one. Well, if we're going to re-release any song, can we re-release bring a power to the palace? Yeah, that's a good song. Okay, next question. We were singing all the tubiously. It's the amusement of many Japanese tourists. But that would have been the song when we weren't even, hang on. That would have been the song when we didn't. It wasn't even near a cup final. So, that was just randomly released for fun. Well, that's what club's used to do. We should bring it back flying high and bring a power to the palace. Good songs, three songs, yeah? The next question is from Graham MacKay. Hi Graham. Where will we put the cup when we win it? We haven't got a treasury cabinet yet. Do we have a decent treasury cabinet or will we have to meet one? No, we haven't got a treasury cabinet. We haven't got the Zane State Systems Cup in it, hasn't it? And the Ken Cup. It's tiny. We'll just have to get out of the drawer for it or something. Yeah. Another glass card. Yeah. I think they'll put it behind a receptionist. Fair enough. There's a glass cabinet there with a kit. But, yeah, no, we haven't got a trophy cabinet, but it's slightly disappointing when you look at it close up. Yeah. Well, I think it's two parishes swimming trophies in there. Is it even big enough to put the FA Cup in? Oh, just make a big one. Probably. No, it definitely hasn't got a lock on it. It doesn't need a lock. It might do. I had a cup of dinner. I love palace mugging it last time I was there. Okay, the next question is from Petrus. Hi, Petrus. Hi, Petrus. It has revenge for 1990. You've been written in the stars. Yes. Did you start with the season? No, not since. Since, since about six o'clock last night. Yeah, it was, it was funny because the media started, the media picked up more than ever than Watford replay. Didn't they? The '84 Cup final. Oh, really? Man, you know, I had palace, but... I thought the man in our past would be because of the Alan Pudger connections. Yeah, Pudger's so much, man. Saved, well, you know. Saved Ferguson and now they're gonna save Van Garle. Yeah. You know, it's all, there's a lot of parallels there. It would be lovely. If, if you'd said at the time at 1990, if you'd said when we were leaving Wembley on that Thursday night, with all those arcy menu fans, if you'd said don't worry, just get to 2016. If you'd managed to stay off for being long enough, just get to 2016. You'll get your revenge. And Alan Pudger will be managing you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you not his manager? Yeah, you're having a giggler. No, we'll be in the what? Something called the what? Premier League. Sky alone, everything. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You'll be in the what? Something called the what? Premier League. Sky alone, everything. What are you talking about? Well, if you actually, if somebody had come for the future and said don't worry, and then you'd go, it would be fantastic. It would be. It's not the normal surface that I hate playing man, you know, anyway, but just this opportunity to... Oh, it's... But I just, I don't want it, I don't want it to be free or good. I just want it to be free enough after 25 minutes to close the rest of the day. They'll still find some way to allow Bloody Leslie to play and... Mark Hughes is the score, somehow. I'll tell you that some time. Okay, next question from Will Hamilton. Hi, Will Hamilton. Will Street make it back for the final? Hashtag Pray for Street. Oh, wow. It just in case anybody doesn't know. Oh, full. And the street is going to be in Las Vegas when we play Wembley next. Do you know what? This is typical. It's absolutely... I knew... What's that? Because we haven't been in Wembley for 20... This is 1990, so it's not typical, is it? It's the first... It's the final game I've ever been out in the country for. Oh, really? Yeah. So it would be the one that we decide to make it to the final game. Why did you not check? Why did you not say it's a football game? Never book it. Did you not see the form that we're in in January? That was basically... I thought it was safe to assume that we wouldn't make it to the FA Cup final that we'd be relegated with eight games to go. It wouldn't matter by then, et cetera, et cetera. It's really good that you got the confidence in the team. So when Hennessy saves a penalty in the finals... (LAUGHS) ...in the last minute, even though we're three and an up, so it won't matter. (LAUGHS) So I'm full by my own argument then. So what are you going to do, Andy? Well, what are you going to do, Andy? Tell the nation, tell the world... You got to decide soon. Surely, with flights there'll be prizes to be getting... Will you leave that off? Well, I did. (LAUGHS) Bit of a longevity, I guess. I'm going to have to come back, can't I? It's 26 years in the making. Well, not turn up. The thing is, Vegas will always be there. Yeah. It will still be there the day after. Exactly. And what happens at Wimley stays at Wimley? (LAUGHS) It's about four weeks. Have you told Jen that you're coming back? I mean, the level of incredulity is similar to when I first told her that I was going to Vegas. And I said, "I was going to Vegas. I'm now coming back two days earlier, so I'm going to a football match." I thought you were going with her. No, no, he's going to stay. No, no, no, he's going to stay. No, no, he's going to stay with him. I'm going to stay with him. Oh, fuck man, I probably should come back. Jesus, I've always... She was with her. And I'd be... Well, it's still come back. (LAUGHS) It was a steak. Oh, cry. Don't you come back. No, no, no, no. I just say don't go. Yeah. Oh, come back. So, we go on the Wednesday, and I'll be coming back on the Friday night, basically. That's all right. It's plenty of time. That's all right. So, you've shown your face? I get in from a flight, I think, about 11 o'clock in the morning. Wednesday on... On Saturday morning. Yeah, so you are on a Saturday morning. Oh, yeah. Would you still be on a Saturday night? Yeah. Yeah. Don't sleep. Also, it doesn't sound very classy. We still do in Vegas. Why, I don't know. Is he a real friend? I don't know. He's a friend. The bar. He's one of your lawyer friends, isn't he? No, he's a lawyer, man. He's a lawyer. He's a lawyer, man. He's a lawyer, isn't he? No, he's not. He's classy. He'll get a Vegas chaps. Is he a football fan? Is he a football fan? Is he a football fan? He's a football fan. He's a football fan. He's a Palace fan. He's a Palace fan. You are joking. No, I'm going to take me to Palace fan. You can't be a football person if you booked your stage over the F. Well, he's a Palace fan. He's a Palace fan. He's a Palace fan. He's a Palace fan. He's a Palace fan. He's a secret. He's going to be awkward. He's going to break his heart, is it? No. The next question is... John had a junction roll at a speed as well. It's not done more recently. John Dodds says, "Was I the only one disappointed by a lack of half-time "police dog obstacle course base entertainment?" I'm so glad. I'm so glad it's done. There's been times in the last couple of weeks when I've mentioned that to people. I just thought they've looked at me so orderly. I was just thought maybe I was making it up. No, it's true. I'm so glad that you remember. The Palace dog definitely fell off the beam. The Liverpool dog did it in record time. The Palace dog went up and the beam tot on a long half-heart and he fell off. Do we need to get that organised pre-match for the final? Yeah. That's some marching bandos, I know. Well, Doddsy, that's a good tweet. Doddsy also says, "Are we in Europe if United's finished top four?" No. And once that roll basically went whole got through and they went kind of hole in the euro, the League might get the likes of Paris coming through. So now, if the... Yeah, it reversed the League base. So you're only getting to Europe if you win Africa. Yeah. So if you lose, doesn't matter, you're not in regard to sort of... There you go. So we do go straight into the group stage as well. Really? You'll have to qualify. Really? Yeah. What? The Palace in the group. Okay. Well, we haven't won it yet. That's just going to pass a little hurt. No, I think we should. I think we should club in the world. I think we should laugh in the face of the tape. Just around the tape. Just like... No. I think we should see what fake does. Instead of doing all the false modesty that we normally do, because we've done the 10th day, I think we should just laugh in the face of the face of the day. Yeah, we're going to win. We're going to piss all over the United. To be honest, I'm actually more... I know we'll do a proper preview. I'm more confident about playing United than I was by Watford. There's something that's just a bit more like... Really? Yeah, I don't know. They're fair to see now when we've played a matter in the season. Yeah, so what's that? I don't know. Maybe it says there's nothing to lose. Whereas against Watford, everyone thought we were going to win. But against United, I think, well, I just think, whatever, on the day, we can do it. There's more at stake, hopefully. There'll be a few clutching at stores. Because I think the uniform hasn't been too bad against you. We've deserved more than we've got for them recently. But you would like to think that maybe there'll be some tension. And maybe either Van Hall will already know he's not going to be the manager next season. Or we'd be playing Woods Hollow in the FA Cup. I thought his interview after the Everton semi-final is extraordinary, actually. You've just won an FA Cup semi-final. He's very honest. And even though refereeing the decision may go against you, even the matches that you've won, very bizarre after you've just got to an FA Cup final to dedicate your interview to slagging off the ref. I mean, it just indicated to me a guy who knows that he's under massive pressure, and knows that he's about to lose his job, and probably feels like he's been undermined by ulterior forces and so forth. Maybe that plays into our hands to a certain extent. Yeah, the player seems to have, well, also, there's nonsense at Florida. The Watford manager had to go on TV after to say, "Well, you talked about my job. We stayed in the Premier League and we'd just been in the semi-final of the FA Cup." Watford fans all love him, they think it's fantastic. OK, Watford's another of those stories. I didn't think they were hoping they would stay alone. Yeah. Fair play to them. They've done really well, fair play to them. Well, they're talking about getting Be ulcer in. I don't know. I don't think that's what I read, which would be interesting. I'd rather have a Be ulte. OK, next question is... That's a little bit of football inside a young spot. Next question is from Tom Nichols by Tom Nichols. That's Tom Nichols. He says, "I missed the first goal while escorting my young son for a dump." He says, "Should we now reenact this ceremonially in the final along with other irrational suspicious acts?" Yeah, give him a curry the night before because we need to win three-nil here. Yeah. Well, yeah. He's sort of hostile. Yeah. Yeah. It's got to be the same toilet. Yeah. Yeah. OK. I'll think about that one. Well, because also because we were taking their needs to the toilet won't be as well at the time. Mm. OK, next question. I think he should do it. He should. I'd like to point out... Well, how? Because people are now going to wonder if you're actually implying something. I was not being taken to the toilet by Kevin. Kevin was running off to the Baptist. OK. But yes, but as long as it's... Yeah, it's an interesting one. Yeah. Can I actually shout out to your son? No. Maybe he didn't need the toilet to be shouted at him for missing the goal, but... Maybe. Yeah, you need to... It'll make it happen. Yeah. Come on. Next question is from Grey Jogging Bottoms. I like Grey Jogging Bottoms. I agree. No. Big dilemma for Palace fans. Would you prefer to go to Wembley or sell hers for the beer festival on 21st May? Ah, yes, I think the beer festival's been... I think it's going to be... Well, first of all, obviously Wembley. Oh, yeah. But I think it's going to be moved. There's no confirmation, but I think it's going to be moved. Of course it's going to be moved. Moved stuff. What they need to do here is think outside the box. They need to basically hire a car park in Wembley. Move the beer festival there before the FA Cup final. Think of the killing that, mate. Yeah, but you think of all the... Well, finish the beer festival. If you have a 9 to 11 beer festival... And if you're listening, I'm taking 10% of that idea. No, I think they'd already made contingency plans on the beer festival. Yeah, hasn't been announced yet, but I think I'm sure it will be. I'd been, well, it's going to be the worst beer festival ever. Nobody will be there, except Julian, because he'll have said yes. LAUGHTER OK, the last question then for this podcast comes from Gordon Farqua. Hi, Gordon. Hi, Gordon. Yeah, he's quite new. He says, "We've all heard about the Jamie Vardy movie." Do the one, the Jamie Vardy movie. Jamie Vardy movie. The movie, yeah, they're going to make a movie about Vardy and Lester and OK. That's all chat shit get banged. LAUGHTER But what would be your pitch for a CPFC 2010 film? It's bizarre, it would almost be... If you did pitch it, people would laugh at you and say, "It's too improbable." Yeah. You'd cut from the last minute at Hillsborough to... To now. Walking out of Wembley. And everyone would go, "That's a bit Roy the Rose," isn't it? Maybe that Roy the Rose. I'd like to do the casting, though, so who would we get to do James Endicott? LAUGHTER I'm going to make up, obviously, to be the obvious choice here. Who would we get to do Alan Partie? Well, he would choose Brad Pitt, I'm guessing. Probably. He would choose somebody... It'd be great to see... To know, it's... We should just do a whole pod in the summer about. Who would play her in the movie? Yeah. It'd be a good movie. We don't see... We don't see... It'd be a good movie! It'd be a good movie! We'd have the ending, though. Yeah. That's right. So, it's not the ending of Titanic, but that makes... Oh, I haven't watched it. I haven't watched it at all. We didn't... I actually worked with somebody who didn't know how the film took that again. Really? Yeah. That is brilliant. Somebody who was at the time married to a very famous newspaper editor. Really? Yeah. Oh, well... It generally didn't end. Who would play Kevin Day? That's tricky. Probably George Clooney's. I mean, aging, but, you know, it's only where... It's starting to crush. It was the Grey Well. Who would play industry? I think you would probably fall through G to my contract demands. Addy Street would be Eddie Redmay, though, I guess so. Addy, you'd be sorry for the... Could you change your... I'll not take. No, it's just a real Wall Street. Long ago, Wall Street was... And it'd be very easy to play Jim Delhi, because you'd actually get paid to forget your lawyers. Right. Yeah, we need your role. Yeah. You just go, you guys confuse me with all your facts. Yeah. It'd be a very stealing role. You're moving buildings, right? Yes, you need one. Okay, I'll take one more question. More question. From Gully Ford. Hi, Gully. But I'm sure a lot of people feel this. I can't even do basic admin tasks right today. Anyone else have the same problem? I'm sure there's a lot of listeners feeling that. Really hard today. Judging by social media to a lot of people to the day of work. Yeah. Probably quite rightly. Yes. Well done. Well, if you did go to Work Palace fans, then... You did your radio show. You did your radio show. The first summer I played was global. Good man. Well done. Well, if you did go to Work Palace fans, we were with you in spirit. Well done for getting through the day. I'd say we were. I wasn't because I'd been with the rest of your work. Yeah, but you didn't say something on the Swiss, it's one of the... You wish you hadn't booked the apply for this one with your personal trainer. Yeah. That was a mistake. Yeah. But was it a joke? Well, that's true. Do you actually have... You don't have a job that's doing any money. He's basically one of the first ballet girls from California. I do. I do have a freedom. But you have a freedom. Yeah. He's cheap. He does cheaply with me. How cheap is he? He's still a personal trainer. He's good. He's good as well. Hey? Do you have a cook as well? Like a valet? A valet? No. No. But... You have to think about that, didn't you? Yeah. So say it's a bottle. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I don't have a buttoner. I would love to. I'd love to. I don't see any reason I'd love to have a buttoner. Just so I could say with a really tiny buttoner. Oh, yeah. You've got 10 cultural references. I don't understand. Right. Okay. Do you have a buttoner? Right. That's the end of part two. Thank you very much for your questions. Listeners, in part three, we're going to do a very brief in this week. Mario. And the heart. So do you want us to live in? Welcome back to this week's five-year plan podcast. Nice. Nice. Come on lads. Yeah. I know we had a couple of times. We're in a couple of times. We're in a couple of times. We're in a couple of times. I know we're in a couple of times. Are we still doing this? Yes. The people still listening. I assume so. And we're sponsored by Vector Printing. All we have to feel is what we need. That's the annoying thing. Can they embroider me a black and white striped t-shirt for the final? Black and white. Black and yellow shit. Oh. Right. And their website is there. I'll listen to the club. I'll be listening before you mention Vector with a K love. Similarly, I will. Right. That's that. I'll dance to you. If anybody's in the club is listening, please don't bring out a special kit. You know what I'm doing? I'm sure we'll be next year's kit, find whether and have a kit with the FA Cup, but don't bring out a special kit. Nothing needs to change. It needs to be this year's kit. So they did that in the last couple of times. As soon as that yellow and black kit. Because it was the sponsor of the change. Yeah. Because it was just a float, float, road, and then the final kit came out. Yeah. The final kit came out. Yeah. It was too LA. But all the money we all spent on our game. We need these Allen guns to ref the final. Yeah. And give a freaky outside the area even though it's a penalty. OK. Right. We're going to round off this episode with a quick in this week. I've looked back through the book and I've tried to find something from 1990, but apparently nothing happened in 1990. In this week I can't find anything. So I said I'm going to go to 9.92. That's my first one. I'm just going to throw it away. Who scored the 17th and the last league goal of the season? 17th. In '90. Clean the Morrison? 1992. No, it's late. I'm going to hang over. Well, he's 45 now. I'll clean the Morrison. He would have been about 12 then. He's 45. He's really old. He's not 45. He's 40. Isn't he? It's not the late 30s. The great title is Marbright. Marbright. Marbright. I say Marbright. Marbright. And 17 goals that season. Apparently so. And that was 1992. His whole, apparently, was the second highest tally for a Palace player in the top flight. Who, at the time, they can't be right. There's two ahead of him, I think. I think it's two ahead of him. I think it's two ahead of him. I think you're in your live edit books on the post. Clean the looks. No. One of them was at the player final. One of them was at the game yesterday. Andy Johnson? Correct. Andy Johnson. 21. 2005. And then there's another player who isn't mentioned here but definitely scored the most goals in the Premier League. Oh. Oh. Oh, but maybe not in one. Oh. - Who are you singing about? - Chris Armstrong. - Oh, look, you already got that many, wouldn't you? - No. - No? - I've never got that many in one season. - Okay. - He's got good girls, he didn't score many girls. - He definitely is close for us in one season. - Yeah, look. - Okay, fine. (laughs) Whatever. Right. - It's pigging out a bit, it's pulling us. - It is a little bit. - Yeah, the hangovers. - Pick out, guys, let's pick out. - Hang over the chicken in a little bit. Okay, all right, I'm gonna go back to 1969. A big year for Crystal Palace. - Monday the 28th of April. Palace took to the field for the last game of the season. - Oh, that went away. - Correct, yeah. - I was about to say it wasn't the Fulham game. - No, no, no. - It's a walk game, wasn't it? - That went away, well done. And most people would have really been into your grasp but their clubs history would know the last game of the season in which they got promoted for the first time to the old first reason, wouldn't they? - Okay, well, in that case-- - Well, in that case-- - In 1992, it was for us, it was for us. - Yeah, in that case, what was the score? - What was the score? - What was the score? - We lost, didn't we? - Nope. - Drew, do we? - Nope. - We won. - We won, we won, do we? - No, two, one. - No, two, one. - Correct, two, one. - Who got sent off for Palace? - Steve Kember. - No. - Well, this could take a walk would be a while, yeah. - John McCormack. - John McCormack. - John McCormack easily was getting sent off, John McCormack. - He punched-- - He punched-- - In those days, you had to work hard to get sent off. - He punched Frank Koppel out and knocked him out. - Wow. - So, there you go. Who were champions, don't you? - Darby. - Correct, yeah, you're well done. - Yeah, just don't ask me if you're off to 1977. - Okay. - Just a little music. - You don't get people like punch each other properly on foot with what you see. - No, you're not even hand-back, so you just-- - It's like sort of front up, do that sort of thing with the chest down and then-- - Ooh. - And then you get commentators lying, saying, "The fans don't want to see this sort of thing, "it's like, should we do?" - Yeah. - Specifically, why we came? - Yeah. - It's like Newcastle fans are still talking about the day. Two of their players punched each other. - What's your horse? - Oh, yeah. - Right, that's the end of part three. In part four, we'll be previewing this weekend's game away at Newcastle United, the part you got back. - Discussion. - Yeah. - No, it's true, then. - No, no extra, it's fine. - No, no, no, no. - We're going to keep it nice and short. People got hangovers, so they don't want to listen to you too much, so they'll keep it all compact. - Yeah, keep it easy. - You're not keeping it compact, you're making it longer. - You've been making this less work for them to do, though. - Yeah, but they won't have a hangover by Thursday, will they? - Oh, they might, it was, well, I don't know. You guys probably will. - Yeah, the fish will not take that. - Yeah, well, really. - Okay, right. Do you want us after the break in, part four? (upbeat music) Hello, this is welcome back to this week's "Fiby Pan Podcast." - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. - The hangovers are kicking in, part four, where we'll be proving a new course we're going to be sponsored by Vector Printing for your printing, body we need to go to Vector.co.uk. - Okay, hey. - And JCS, we've got a written pregnancy video for him, so that's a number of JCS. - I will, I will, I will. - Very good, okay, so we did speak. We touched on the new course we're going in the previous pod one, 'cause it's a way, a new course, so it's a point or a win for us, which secures us, but it's big for them, as well. - And big for Pardio, no doubt. - Yeah, it's very big for Alan Pardio indeed, but how do you think Palace should go into it? Should they be playing a weekend team? - No, no. - I don't know. - I don't know where you get this idea that we should be, why just 'cause people are not-- - People are asking it, people are talking about it. - I don't know why people are asking it, it's four weeks to the Cup Final, anything could happen, the professional thought that we need, we should go into it with the same impetus that we started the game on Sunday. - Well, at the time of the season where you're not talking about sort of fixture pilot, we've got through the period where we were having Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, like we're now through that, they get in one game a week, and there's no substitute. There was a really good article actually recently in the Guardian by Sean Ingle about momentum and how it's sometimes overstated by fans because they sort of see things to remember more when it's had an effect rather than the times where it has been a bit negligible. And the sort of basic premise of the article is it's mainly down to sort of the underlying strength of your team. But ultimately, you want your players to be sharp, you want them to be fit, you want them to have, you know, a fair amount of match practice. What's the point of going to the Jason Panchan? Oh, you've now got back in the team, you now fit again, you start to play well again. - Don't play. - I'm gonna rest for three weeks. So you don't actually get any exposure to playing football at the top level, so you're not ready for the FA Cup Final. - And also, as we proved at Old Trafford, we aren't good enough to go into games with week and teams, and we still need the points. Then Newcastle, for all their slight upturning form recently, will be really nervous. And again, what's good is that we go into this game like no, Newcastle will be expecting to, they'll be targeting six points from us in Villanova, they'll be expecting to win that game. Our way for them is still relatively good, so of course we can get a point all the way up there, so we should be going up there looking to win the game. And Pargy will be desperate for us to, till we've got there. - Well now I'm beating in five. - I'm trying for the man you're not in. - Oh yeah, so we're literally not beating in one. - Yeah, but I'm not really counting the man you're getting, because we were our first team, and we were on a pretty useful run-off game. But they will certainly be expecting to win that game. But they still don't score, yeah. - They're gonna be desperate to win that game, which I think plays in times. - I feel very absolutely. - They'll come as loose, don't they? - They're not down, no. - I mean it's very tight between those three. But they've got the most difficult last game. I mean they've got us and Villa. - It's best of them. - No, it's best last day of the season, but it looks like Spurs might have nothing to play for, but it still would be difficult. But they will need to be positive against us. They'll need to point a lot more than we do, and they need to come at us, and we need to have players that can get in and hit and behind, because if we go and go all up early on, they're gonna really get nervous. So we should know, of course you should be able to win. - I think the whole thing is you need to have competitive games leading up to the court final. Of course it's all about the court final, and yes it's about staying up as well. But we just need these competitive games. We need to keep that level of concentration. - Yeah, yeah. - And if we beat Newcastle, it was off. If I had to win a field in week and team against Southampton, and we'd say fine, but I wouldn't want it to happen against the last home game against Stowe. We want to go out on a big farewell. I hope it's the same at Southampton. It would be a fantastic party at Southampton if we'd stayed up. - It's got a lap of honour at Newcastle, if we're not mathematically safe. - That's really good, I do. - But Newcastle have definitely improved, but they're not. Yeah, where they are for a reason. They haven't climbed out at the bottom for reasons. He took over, they're much more well-organized. - They're the goods. - They could come back into Liverpool, didn't they? - They did, but Liverpool were down to a minulate, basically having one of his minulate-type moments where he just decided that he was gonna hand-wrap them sort of one goal. And then they got a very, very lucky second deflective one. They weren't that good in that match. They were completely over on in the first half. The first half, they were totally outplayed. And that was by Liverpool team. Again, Liverpool rested a couple of players in the second half, and it's really hard to get the momentum back in a game, even, let alone in the season. So, we should go up there with our way for them. If we can get a point at Arsenal, we need a point at Newcastle. - Think Newcastle were too big to go down? - No, no, it's too big to go down. That's a matter of two big to go down. - What does that even mean? - I don't know. - It's just the thing to say. - Well, I'm tired. - Yeah, it proves that no club show I think they're too big to go. 'Cause Aston Villa, this is where, you know, sometimes we should, you get frustrated. Every club gets frustrated sometimes with what their management does. And sometimes you get frustrated 'cause, you know, Steve Parrish can focus on things like moving the player of the year to the West End, and then you can argue about that as much as you want. But, you know, we should realise how lucky we are with the management that we got, because Villa didn't go down because of a year of miss management. They went down 'cause of five, six seasons. Same with some of them that have been miss managed for five, six seasons. Newcastle have been miss managed from, they've been badly there, and they've been let down what are people that run the clubs. - They've been a blueprint, basically, of how you badly run a team. Like this season as well, when, you know, they bring in McLaren, a guy who's had a recent track record of failure, basically. And then they get to the January transfer window. They don't bolster the sort of spine of the team, like the stuff that you really need to stay up. They're like, "Right, let's go and buy some sort "of glory signings." - Although they're trying to play that we want to, it's not in that play. - Well, even though he would've improved our team, but he wasn't what new goals, or what you did at that particular game, though. - But he was also Shelby's not playing. - Is he not? - No, he hasn't played the last two games 'cause he doesn't fancy him. And he's even his own, one of his own players, he's the worst trainer at the club. - Wow. - So, Shelby was a player that you don't bring in. Well, she saw the Swansea Vice Chairman say, "Good luck, good rinsed, good luck." - Really? - Yeah, good luck with him. - We were saying on this very pod a few months ago, we'd love him in our midfield. - But, he's not playing. And the fact is that Aaron has, you know, mistakes will be made 'cause it's still relatively new, but you look at the difference in attitude and what they want from the club. And, you know, Ashley's a man who will happily see that club run into the ground 'cause he doesn't like Newcastle, folks. Because he doesn't like the way they treat him, and it's wrong. And the villa's just been, it's just awful, and some of them are the same. And some of them will be fighting relegation next year if they stay up 'cause they just make mistake of a mistake. They put that woman in charge of Margaret, who had no experience of being a chief executive, who gladly let Adam Johnson wander around the club, even though she knew he was gonna be convicted. So, there's all sorts of things that have gone on. And so... - Does, you know, what happens there? And when you cross the run and villa run, and then we've seen Charlton racing there, obviously got very bad owners. Does it actually put into perspective? No, people get annoyed at the current board at Parliament. - Does it? - Yeah, pretty much as well, I said. - Yeah, pretty much as well. - I thought he wasn't paying attention. - Okay. - It does put into perspective, yes. So we have got good owners, yeah. - Okay. - Yeah, well summed up, that's the reason that you're on that. (laughing) - Chalk fans. - Right, even though I feel sorry for Chalk fans, 'cause they be... - No, no, I don't. - That's pretty nice. - You don't? - No. - Oh, they haven't bought that on themselves. - Unless you were at the Valley in 2005. - I don't want to talk about that. - Oh, fair point. - 'Cause it was just the worst part of stay out that I've ever experienced. And the braying mentality that their fans had off that match. I would gladly see them go down three more divisions. (laughing) - Wow. - You don't want to have them... - No, that's different. That's different. I want to see them relegated, but you don't want to see any football club being run the way... - No. - Oh, God. - He's now sustaining them at a level where they will go down three divisions, so I think it's absolutely perfect. - Oh, yeah, definitely. I'm happy for them to be relegated. They don't get me wrong, but that's not... - Perhaps you'd like to sum that up, shall we? - No. - In many ways it shows that it's not what I've been relegated. - Yeah. - And that we haven't. - No, I wouldn't. I want to see if I can go down, but I would never want to see it. - See any club regardless whether they're rivals or not, go bust or be running that match. - Speaking of our inferiors, isn't it great that even in this one season, we're brightening up in a phenomenal season. We still managed to absolutely... - H'est them. (laughing) - Yeah. - Yeah, we have. - Okay. - Oh, well, what did they get to the playoffs? - What would that be? - Well, after the cup final. - Oh, I think it's the week after it's... - Is it? - Yeah. - I think it's the week. It's the bank holding weekend, I think. - I think so. - It's the week after the cup final. - And the main normal, isn't it? - Yeah. - Because it isn't that weekend because it's the... The sum of the cup, the sum of the cup final. - Oh, yeah, of course, yeah, yeah. - Is it? Oh, yeah. - It's the one, the non-week, where it's called. - So... - Oh, yeah, yeah. - Now that we've got the FA Cup fans looking forward to. - Have we? - Really? - Really? - Think about that. - Last day's got that pod. Is it? I mean, it might feel the hangovers. But is it hard to kind of get interested in the final few games or the thing, or the league games or the thing? - No, no, no. It won't become the weekend. - Well, we're safe, Si, you know. - No, no, no, it will not be hard. It will be hard when I'm watching on a stream, but we're looking forward to the stove game. - Because the stove game will be... Regardless, I mean, it's going to be... We're a welcome home to the heroes, the stove game. - And hopefully by that, we'll be safe. - Yeah, because everyone's going to be... The atmosphere is going to be fantastic. You know, the picture when they announce, please welcome this year's FA Cup. Fineless, you know, so... - Can we find some sort of irregularity with our match against Man City earlier in the season, so we can have them just before we play now? You're not in the final again. - Oh, exactly. - I think that's what we need. - Yeah, I'm sure they can find a present. - They've paraded round a banner, isn't it? - Yeah, for younger fans, Man City fans jumped on the pitch every once in a bit, but they paraded a banner around saying good luck against the film next week. - Oh, really? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's what I thought. - Yeah, no, it was in the era where Man City fans used to blow up bananas and all sorts of blow up things, and they were just flying on. No, it's like, he knows the guy. It was like two worlds, and one alternate. - Yeah, they just walked around the whole pitch, they went and brought it. So, that's... Man City fans always had quite a good relationship, good rapport. - Okay, the new cards were game. What team got to see Palace play? - I saw some of the team that started the cup for us. - I'm going to tell you how many times we can impress us upon you. - You can't have the same question. - Oh, what's the first one? - No, you should be the way you asked it, the different version of it. - Well, that's probably good. - Hopefully I'm welcome to bring it to you. - I probably picked my car through the jet neck, actually. - Oh, interesting? - Yeah, because they're a little bit of a... And the new classes just one, they don't move much. So, the more mobility you have in the centre, we'll feel it against them, I think the better. I don't think they're particularly physically imposing where you need a jet neck in the middle to really boss the show. There's not a great deal to their team. And I think if you get the busyness of MacArthur in there and given his technical ability as well, and him next to goodbye, I'd probably start with him to be honest. Which is obviously what you do after someone's just had a man match performance in it. - Yeah, I think I'm satisfied. - You drop him. - The trouble with MacArthur as well, is he's not the sort of player you would bring on for 20 minutes really unless you... You've got an injury, 'cause he's not... - He's a really bad player. - No, he needs to start. But I suspect he won't start until we've got the points that we need. I mean, it's an interesting one, whether in the cut final, for example, despite everything we said about a jet neck, whether he would pick the car for a head of jet neck, I suspect he probably would. - I think you would, especially against, you know, you don't have the fit. Well, I suppose it depends really. It depends whether Fellaini is fit and likely to start, if he is, then I think he starts jet neck every day of the week. If Fellaini's picked up a knock on such that he's definitely not going to start, I think, given the mobility they have in some of their players, like, you know, like, it's her era. - Yeah. - You know, even Karik, who you need to get close to to stop influencing the play, that they've got enough people who can hurt you that it wouldn't be such an issue. So I think, and perhaps that goes to the key point, with jet neck, you know, you play him against certain opposition. You don't necessarily play him all the time. Well, against those certain opposition, he can still be fantastic. - 'Cause I think Newcastle will start, oh, he's out of this sort of opposition. He should play jet neck. I wouldn't pick McCall for him, sadly. I think, you know, it's going to be a real muck and bullets, sort of game on Saturday. Not a lot of football played by either team. I think, you know, certain stances, that's what you want, jet neck. And then, again, it comes back to that word we keep using about him, leadership. And it's like, something you don't really get from other players. Certainly, you don't get it as visibly as you get it from jet neck. So I'd be surprised if he didn't start with a team that started on, on Saturday. And that's what you'd want, then. - 'Cause really, did you just unleash the horror and velocity and punching on there, on there back four, with the mobility of Wiccan as well? I think that's what I'd hope to do. And I think, as well, I think Pardee seems to realise that I think this is his full strength team, and that's the team that should be playing. - So in hindsight, when he played the week in team against United, with the quote, unquote, injuries to some of us, first in play, that was actually the spot on thing to do, wasn't it? - I don't know, it's really, I still don't know why he had to pretend, but I don't, 'cause Watford were quite open about the fact they were wrestling players. I don't know why Pardee felt the need to tell that a lot, really, 'cause what it was. - Maybe it leads to my opening case, someone has an absolute storm ring that matched to then, style him, 'cause, you know, if you, sort of, pick yourself in the front foot in terms of sound, well, no, these players are definitely not starting to fake. I find you look a bit stupid when, and if there's one thing that Pardee probably doesn't like, it's the, you know, look publicly stupid, but it, I suppose, allowed him to sort of hedge his bets a little bit, you know, if he starts at a buy-all and Sacco now match, they end up playing phenomenally, and maybe they start at Wembley. I mean, ultimately, no one end up picking up their game in that match other than Zaha really, and he end up then starting the next match, and any other person who played well was, Spironi, and I think it was fairly obvious that it would have been the wrong decision, given Hennessy's, picked up a bit in recent weeks to then go and drop him, Si. - Well, we did mention, well, I didn't, I said last week, I wouldn't have been surprised to see anybody all start at Wembley, 'cause I just had this hunch that's how Pardee was thinking about, luckily, I was wrong. - Yeah, and we're gonna play it very well. Okay, prediction, I'm saddling it. - Don't forget, Wickham's gonna get stick from the start from the Newcastle fans, given his background, so he'll be up for that, as well, I imagine. - Yeah. - Prediction? - Prediction? - I think Pardee's will win too, well. - Are they passable in one little, kind of Wickham will score? - I think I might put a bit on Newcastle. That's a good idea. (laughing) - I think we should have, we should have nothin' a lot, 'cause it's a big new car, so I'm gonna go with a one-nil panace. - Whoa. - Okay. - What about you? - I think it's gonna be one, one all. - Oh, really? - Two. (laughing) - I think it's gonna be a close game. - You scaled again, you know, I'm tired. - Right, thank you very much for listening to this podcast listeners. We're back with you next week. - Enjoy your weekend, everyone. - Enjoy your weekend. We'll be back with you after the new car's full game. Thanks for listening, goodbye. - Sure all.
