Introduction and Sellers Park Updates
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Palace podcast. I'm your host today, Dan Tanner. I'm all on my lonesome today as everybody else on the podcast is enjoying their Mayday bank holiday.
00:00:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I'm they left to be sort holding down the fort and make sure that we keep you guys up to date with everything going on at Sellers Park.
Team News and Injury Updates
00:00:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
That being said, it is Monday and... I don't think a lot has changed out all that much. There's a couple of little stories, but we'll get to that in a bit. So we're going to do a little bit of a update on some team news, et cetera, for the ahead of the game, the Monday night game tonight against Forest.
00:00:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
If anything has changed since then and have a look, a little bit of a look at the, uh, the The scope of the league as it as it stands at the moment, the back the last three or four games, depending on schedule.
00:01:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we'll go from there. We'll also celebrate a very bizarre victory for a Palace player this weekend. It's probably not what you think.
00:01:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then finally, one last sort of one last little go at some score predictions and game predictions from me. ahead of ahead of the game tonight so let's get right into it so to begin with we uh the team news for over this weekend well for this match on uh tonight is as follows so
00:01:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
For Palace, there's been no real changes, no new injuries. It's the same long-term one of Decore and Riyad are still out for the remainder of the season.
00:02:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
We'll not see them probably until after the summer. The only other slight complication is that Matt Turner is not eligible to play, as he is lonely from Nottingham Forest.
00:02:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Shouldn't be too much of a problem being at that he is the ah backup goalie. And yeah just I don't think he'll be able to actually play...
00:02:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it won't be able to play, obviously, but won't be able to be selected, so we just have to go through and see. it's not the It's a minor inconvenience more than anything else. it comes to Forest, they're only, I think, at least new injury...
00:02:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
is Hudson Odoi, who is a was a casualty of the game against Fulham, where he came off with a hamstring. I think the Fulham game was Thursday.
00:03:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
think it was either Wednesday or Thursday. So, yeah, he's going to be out for probably the next 10 days, two weeks minimum. ham Hamstrings are always a little bit...
00:03:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
hit and miss, but usually about two two to three weeks at most. So that's when it comes to... That's the real team news that stands at the minute, although this is being recorded ahead of a lot of the... If there already are any other updates, are the
00:03:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
managers, team news and press conferences haven't been put up yet, so that could all change.
Impact of Recent Matches on League Standings
00:03:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
But this is also a weekend where... Man United have lost to but to Brentford, sorry, 4-3.
00:03:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Arsenal lost to Bournemouth. It's kind of at that point where a lot of the games in the season don't really count for anything. The only real sort of the last sticking point of the league are the last European spots, which Forest is still in the mix.
00:04:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's... four maybe five teams within yet within about four points of each other with three games to left to determine some of these the last European spots.
00:04:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that's, it's kind of slightly disappointing. I like it when the league's a little bit closer towards the end of the season. sort the the title should I like it when the title is still up for grabs for the last two or three games, but we secured that for Liverpool or aided them in that last week again start getting a draw against Arsenal. So that's all sorted.
00:04:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
All the relegation teams are all sorted. Yeah, it's it's European spots. And when it comes to Palace... We're not really going to move much further up unless we get a little bit lucky with our last two last two or three fixtures.
Upcoming Matches and FA Cup Final
00:05:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
but of It's Wolves, Spurs and Liverpool in the last three games. And we were also putting in, obviously, an f FA Cup final in there. So we're just going to... I don't think we're going to be going all guns blazing until the FA Cup is gone.
00:05:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, so for Palace, it's very much just steadying the ship and don't do anything stupid for the next 10 days or so. and it's but in this match, it's very much it's all for it. Forrest have got to do something if they want to start securing some of that that European spot, because I think they are in the Europa as it stands at the minute.
00:05:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
on 60 points, but Villa are right behind them and they're three points behind Chelsea who won on the weekend against Liverpool. So it, it could be interesting because they've,
00:06:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because I think, what it, Forest's next fixtures are against West Ham and Leicester. So they're going to be looking ahead of that one. I can't remember who their last one is. that Actually, no. I just remembered their last one is against Chelsea. So they are going to have to get all three points against the next three games that just just to try and keep pace with them.
00:06:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
so it's it's the it's the only real bit of the season left that actually means anything is this European spot, which, yeah, again, as I said, Palace are in an FA Cup final.
00:06:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
We could throw a monkey wrench into all of this if we actually manage to pull it off. We will knock one of these European teams out of it out of contention, out of the competition.
00:06:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
so it All of this game, all of this could be moot, could be absolutely moot in the next couple of days. So, yeah, we'll just have to wait and see.
00:07:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
And with that, we'll take a quick break. And then after the break, we'll go and celebrate a very unusual win for a Palace player. Be right back after this.
00:07:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bye.
Eze's Chess Tournament Victory
00:07:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we are back with the Daily Palace podcast. I am your solo host today, Dan Tanner, holding down the fort while everybody else enjoys a well-deserved May Day bank holiday.
00:08:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
so We are now going to celebrate a very strange, well, let's just say maybe not a strange, unexpected win for a Palace player. As some of you that may have been watching Twitch over the weekend did know that there was a chess.com tournament on the weekend where our very own Eze won the tournament, won the whole thing.
00:08:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
one fifteen Won £15,000 in prize money for winning the... Let me get this the title right because this is very long-winded. Chess4.com's four-day amateur PogCham tournament.
00:08:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, yep. We have a a bona fide... chess grandmaster in the palace set up. Who knew? This tournament was ah comprised of 12 celebrity content creators and athletes.
00:09:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
I also seem to remember seeing one of the competitors got called out for cheating. i can't remember which one, but I seem to recall there being a story where they were reading the Twitch chat to see what the opponent was going to do.
00:09:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
so you may have to read up on that one, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about Eze winning the tournament, which I read that and and very much had a oh okay. One, I didn't know that this was a somewhat of a regular thing.
00:09:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
And just i really, you don't really think of footballers playing chess, do you? You just sort of, you think of them all of playing sort of FIFA or Call of Duty or Fortnite in their downtime.
00:10:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
But chess... Definitely not one you sort of associate with footballers, but apparently he's it's a fairly new thing for Eze too, sort of hobby for him that has picked up, as he was taught by Michael Alese, as they would apparently of play each other in the training ground, sort of on probably lunch breaks or whatever, sort cool-down sessions. Yeah.
00:10:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, yeah, and it's only sort of done in the last couple of years from what I was reading up. So, well done, Eze. You're showing that footballers aren't just meatheads, that they have got something else to their to their to their string, to their caveat, that they can be, so it can do these so intellectual and sort of strategic games that... When I was growing up, it was very much you didn't see the the the sporty kids playing chess.
00:11:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it's... It's absolutely brilliant for him and well done. And hopefully that luck can transfer over to an FA Cup final.
00:11:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I think we'll take one last quick break do to thank our provider here. And then last little bit of preview for the Forest game with a last score prediction.
00:11:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
I may have changed my mind. I may not have done. I can't remember what I said on the on Friday before before the weekend. So may have to listen back afterwards and see if I carried it on.
00:11:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
If not, well, we'll just have to add that to the list. So we'll be right back

Forest's European Ambitions and Palace's Challenges
00:12:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we are back for the final part of this solo short recap preview slash episode of the Daily Palace podcast with your host, Dan Tanner.
00:12:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
So for Forest is going to be an interesting game for the most part. They are the shock team of this season going from this time last year, just about surviving relegation.
00:12:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
to now pushing on the door of Europe. So, yeah, like last year, the shock team was Villa. The year before that, Brighton shocked a few people.
00:13:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, all all the best to Fulham, all the best to Forrest. Sorry, i got let let's get that right before we... yeah start getting people sort of annoyed in the chat so yep all all the best to them not many people have too many sort of problems with notting forest uh yeah they've somehow managed to of they've either got some kind of uh deal with a devil some a deity or something that they've
00:13:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
so putting that some kind of yeah curse or the cheat code or something. And they've done absolutely brilliantly. So we'll just have to wait and see who the next surprise team for next year will be.
00:13:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
It could be Palace. We don't know. So that being said... When it comes to the game tonight, it is a home game for Palace, which we are kind of not the greatest it's when it comes to playing at St. Louis Park.
00:14:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's not the best, but it's not the greatest. We've only had, I think, two games at home in the last month. one of them was a draw against Bournemouth and the win over Brighton.
00:14:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
And before that, it was an absolute struggle to get any kind of points at home. Nearly everything we got was away and against some of the big teams away.
00:14:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it could be interesting. I think the only real notable aspect of playing at Sellers Park at the moment, or at least in the last few weeks anyway, have been the refereeing shenanigans from...
00:14:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
The incident against Millwall, the Battle Royale that happens in the Brighton game, and the very weird sending-offs and yellow cards in the Bournemouth game.
00:14:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
think that seems to be the only thing we seem to attract at St. Louis Park at the moment is... I don't just referees have decided to just make up this, make up the rules as they go along or are just, yeah, don't want to be at sellers part. So they're just doing whatever.
00:15:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, that's the only notable thing. I think it's sellers park in the lot the most recent weeks. So i think I can't remember what i did for my prediction on Friday.
00:15:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
but I think we could probably get away with a two, two draw. We haven't had the greatest form of late. I think we've got one win in the last six, not including the FA cup.
00:15:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
we've got, i think two draws, three losses and a win. So, Our form doesn't look great. Forest, on the other hand, aren't much better. I think they've got three wins and three draws in their last six. So they're not hitting on all cylinders either. So if we can get away with a 2-2 draw, no silly mistakes, no injuries, no absurd bookings, and just get into this...
00:16:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
into the FA Cup game that's coming up in the next 12 days. Yeah, I just don't... I don't see it being a particularly high-scoring one, as Forest usually are one or two goals.
00:16:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Besides from that, Freak one against Brighton, where they put seven past them. so And I think they might be going for little bit more, as I mentioned earlier, as they are trying to push for a... To kind of secure that European spot ahead of the last game of the season that against Chelsea. They'll want to get as close as they can.
00:16:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, yeah, I think we could probably leave it there. Thank you very much for listening.
