Introduction to Daily Palace Podcast
00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Welcome back to the Daily Palace podcast brought to you by the Global Sports Podcast Network. ah Despite having had a visually disconcerting shave, I'm still Joe Lodge and with me today are Wale Bakare, how's it going Wale?
00:00:26
Wale Bakare
I'm good, Joe. Great to see you.
00:00:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And good to see you too Wale. And also Finn, how you doing Finn?
00:00:33
Finn
Hello, hello, hello. it's we As we were just discussing in the green room before, I'm in full hibernation mode, so I'm readying myself for the English winter. It's almost upon us, I feel.
00:00:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think that's the way to do it. You've got to try and take pleasure in getting cozy and not going out and eating sort of warming stews, singing a nudie, et cetera, rather than um embracing the fact that clearly it's it's much less pleasant than being somewhere sunny, but...
00:01:04
Finn
Absolutely. I made a nice pumpkin soup over the weekend from from the from the leftovers of the Halloween pumpkin.
00:01:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Perfect. Yeah.
00:01:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that is spawn. That is proper autumn going into December core. And then we've got the Christmas build up and that's all okay. And then January and February and they're not okay. But there's only two of them. So, you know, it's really not too bad.
Review of Palace vs. Wolves Match
00:01:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Yeah, so we talk about last weekend's fixture today before, as ever, finishing with a ridiculous bonus section.
00:01:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
The country's contingent of conservationists with death wishes will have been pleased to see wild wolves in the West Midlands on Saturday. Palace drew away at Molyneux in a ding-dong 2-2, predicted almost exactly by a young charismatic podcaster in our crossover episode of Wolves last Thursday, I ah seem to remember.
00:02:06
Wale Bakare
Thank you.
00:02:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
um What are your overall impressions of the match? while they Is that a fair result?
00:02:13
Wale Bakare
Well, yeah, it was. um I think even before the game, we sort of wondered if it was one of those that would end up all square. ah Because you we talked so much about both but teams not getting the results that they deserve ah you know from the ah first couple of games this season.
Palace's Defense and Tactical Adjustments
00:02:36
Wale Bakare
And you know he set us all up for a situation of, oh, we don't we wouldn't want wolves to lose another game or we we don't want Pallas to lose another game but so surprisingly it wasn't a drop draw it was you know it was a game with a lot of incidents a lot of relatively go-mouth action um chances created although it was the defenders getting the goals for Pallas
00:03:04
Wale Bakare
but ah Wolves turned up, Palace turned up, um and we you know got got a performance that we've um we maybe quite gotten used to with Palace this season, finding a way to you know come back into the game, grind out results, and that that was exactly what happened. Fantastic finish by Trevor Shalaba, by the way. um you know That was, that well, when you look at it again, you think, oh, the space was there, but trust me, that could easily have gone wrong. That the angle was a bit tight and, you know, fantastic finish by him. The defense were great. The players, you know, turned up, especially considering we made so much about Barry Tiese's absence, Adam Wharton's absence, but
00:03:51
Wale Bakare
ah We also saw glasner change system
Palace's Attack and Defensive Challenges
00:03:54
Wale Bakare
a bit. So there was just, you know, a number of things to learn from the game and the number of positives. And when you look at it overall, wolves played well, pilots played well. um It would have been nice, you know, if pilots had gotten in three points in the game, but then considering the fact that we went to one behind, so you really, you cannot be um utterly disappointed ah by the two-hour result.
00:04:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think that we've spoken a lot about how a Palace have usually had sort of one good half, one bad half, one half of the pitch that's playing well in terms of defence or the attack, one half that isn't. Here it was closer to kind of more or less 18 minutes of so fairly all right quite good and then 10 minutes of just being carved open at will which ultimately i think is is where the game was lost but as you touch on there while i'd say the big positive for palace is the ability they showed in that game to create chances actually creating more xg than they have
00:05:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
in any game before under Glastner and did without, as I, in the team and obviously without Lisa in the team has been the problem I will season. There is probably a small caveat to that that this is potentially more reflective of Wolves' struggles from set pieces, which have been a problem for them all season than it is of Palace working anything too much out. um Maybe that's a bit harsh. I think there were some good set pieces with routines from Palace, but it did seem to be that Dead Bulls were the source of most of the great chances that the team had.
Standout and Underperforming Players
00:05:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Yeah, are there any players you'd like to single out for praise or rather indeed rebuke for their performances in this game, Finn?
00:06:02
Finn
yeah um it's a good question i feel i'm sort of in two minds about this game because like i think one day it was great the positive is that i think it was they had great tenacity the squad to get back in each time and what we've seen is in previous games is when um palace go behind the heads drop and that's it it's sort of game over before well before the 90 um in this though they came back twice and i was really impressed with that tenacity that's the positive and as you said as as you've alluded to the chances of were being created so kudos to players such as um daichi kamada um ismela saar as well was pro his productivity was good but we'll i will come back to come back to him um i also have a good joke about him later on um um just just to keep the listeners in tight
00:06:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
me
00:06:53
Finn
Um, I think the defense did really well, but as we're starting to see, if you play a high line in football, it leaves you very. Susceptive at the back to counter-attacks and wolves are no mugs. Wolves have got some really good attacking players. They've got Mateus Konyam, they've got Jurgen Stranlarson, um, Joao Gomez had a worldy in the second half, like sort of just flipped the game on its head.
00:07:20
Finn
and palace it was sort of like neither team was dominant dominant even um it was like a basketball match it was going back and forward and sort of you could see the momentum was shifting each time and it's great for the neutral pretty crap for ah for palace and walls fans especially walls fans i could really sense in the ground there was a real sense of unease and like unhappiness um but which sort of shifted i suppose a little bit by the end of the game even though i heard boos at the full time which i was surprised by um But yeah, I think players did well.
High Pressing Risks and Finishing Quality
00:07:53
Finn
I just want to shout out Mark Gahy, Trevor Chalaba, Daniel Munoz, Daiji Kamada, and others did well, but just, I feel like, again, Jean Philimatetta, he did have a sort of disallow, sort of a disallowed goal, but I feel like he could have done a teeny tiny bit more. um Eddie and Katia, oh, I even said this to my dad as we were watching the game, I just said, it's a real sort of,
00:08:18
Finn
stereotype about a striker but it's so true is like when a striker is lacking confidence they just need a goal don't they they just need and and then they suddenly it just gets them back into the swing of things and you can just see even simple passes and things like that are not coming off for him at the moment and it's must be affecting his confidence and vice versa And I just feel like even one of the goals that was conceded was he had an opportunity to lay up Mark Gehie who bombed forward. And it's fantastic when you have your defenders able to do that or to offer an attacking option. And it should have been an easy little pass through. But unfortunately, King Ketya wasn't a, he mucked the pass up.
00:08:57
Finn
Gahy's out of position, Wolves break, goal. And it was just like, oh, and it's just so, it just goes to show you it's fantastic that we're pressing up high and that we're doing those things, but it just, but there just needs to be that little bit more edge and a bit more quality up in the, up in the final third.
Positives from the Draw and Tactical Evolution
00:09:15
Finn
Otherwise, if we're going to carry on playing football like this for the rest of the season, it just means we're going to concede a lot of goals. And unfortunately, and that's fine if we're scoring goals, but as I was saying before it's made a saw my lord he had could have had a hat trick really of chance like a hat trick of goals like really I felt he did all the hard stuff sort of really well and then just when it came to finishing I could even see at one point I think it was when he hit the ball over the bar so when it was sort of dragged back and Daniel Munoz was in front of him and Daniel Munoz was did the classic sort of head and hand like how
00:09:54
Finn
yeah even he didn't understand how that hadn't gone in so I feel my positive spin on it is saying it's made us all owes us a few goals I'm not gonna go oh he's fest steve's robbin us he started running I'm just gonna say he owes palace a few goals now which I'm sure he'll do just a bit like how Daichi Kimada I think was written off by a lot of palace fans and then in the last week seems to have really sort of spun that around and shown his quality. I'm positive as Megasaur will click into place and we still really need him to because we're running out of players as well and I think going back to what you were saying about missing players like Eze and stuff like I feel like if we maybe had a few other players who were available for that game
00:10:37
Finn
It might have been a different story, but we definitely, I feel that was definitely a game we should have won. I'll take the point, but a bit disappointing that we didn't win.
00:10:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think Palace have to consider themselves a better team on the got on on the whole and and all the stats match reports and vibes reflect that.
Atmosphere and Substitution Critique
00:10:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think that's an important point you raised to circle back into it. The atmosphere at Molyneux was really not great even for ah considering they'd lend right back to go 2-1 up.
00:11:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think it was it was kind of frenetic at that point, but still feel a bit of menace in the air, brewing some of Gary O'Neill's substitutions, perhaps even worse in terms of the energy around the club, cheering the decision to take Sarabia off after he failed school into one-on-ones. I think Palace will come away from that thinking you know probably the better team on the day and deserved more than a draw just about but kind of heartened by it because they've gone right we're in a better state than these lot in terms of how the positivity around the club the performances on the pitch um and it's sort of the sense of optimism I think you kind of as a football fan base can
00:12:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
create crises where they needn't be or you can be one of these pretty calm clubs like Vicket. Brentford have gone on some really long some non-winning runs under Thomas Frank and stuff and they've just kind of gone it's fine they'll level out trust the recruit and trust the manager in it kind of whereas another club might have sacked the manager and got themselves into a spiral they they just sort of weathered it out and I think Palace will be feeling vindicated and in that approach, if that is the approach that the board have gone down.
00:12:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
And broadly it feels like it's kind of the way where the fans' heads are at to me.
Disallowed Goal: Fairness and Regulation
00:12:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Obviously, I have to jump in the defensive, jump in the tester say that he very much could have had two goals in that game.
00:12:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Chellaba gets in the way of a goal-bound volley.
00:13:01
Finn
Oh, it's true.
00:13:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
And...
00:13:03
Finn
Like, that happened twice.
00:13:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:04
Finn
It was weird. Like, there was Chalabas bum.
00:13:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:13:08
Finn
Let's be real. chaubbi's bum got in the way
00:13:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:13:11
Finn
mota
00:13:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
He didn't know much about it.
00:13:12
Finn
And then Tariq Mitchell and Daishi Kamada sort of had that. It reminded me of like, when you play football in the playground and you both go for the same ball. And it's like, neither of you sort of shout or claim the ball.
00:13:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:22
Wale Bakare
Yeah.
00:13:27
Finn
So they sort of just looked at each other afterwards and were like, like, shrugging.
00:13:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:13:30
Finn
Chalabas Like, look at each other. bum got in the way.
00:13:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
I was a real, yeah, I was terrible for that, not claiming the ball. Basically, I wasn't really going for the ball most of the time, waiting for it to spill out to the back post. Maybe why I liked John Fleet and Mateta so much. That was my style. um Very, I think that'd be a good time. Take a break, have worth my sponsors, and then pick this discussion back up with topics, including should John Fleet and Mateta have had a second goal or first goal, but i should he have scored two?
00:14:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
We can get a bit talk sport about this, so we'll get into that after this ah word from the sponsors. Here at Global Sports Podcast Network, we spent a lot of time selecting our delivery platform.

00:14:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
So we won't get into that particular point just yet. One thing I wanted to touch on. Finn's already brought it up to some extent now. I want to get your thoughts as well, Wylie. Could Palace use a player like Mateus Kunier? Slash, how good was he?
00:14:57
Wale Bakare
Well, it is obviously a good player. I think um last week ahead of the game, we did mention, I think, what Finn was talking about, how Kunia can be a very dangerous player for Wolves. He tends to really understand the job of that striker who drifts into the midfield, gets the ball, drags the defence out, creates spaces for other players.
00:15:25
Wale Bakare
it might not be getting the goal but it will create chances for you yeah and it's just always on the move and always dangerous and it's a very good player but then um but when you say can Palace do with a player like Konya you I could argue, well, Aza is like that, maybe better, you know?
00:15:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
and like a
00:15:46
Wale Bakare
So, ah so I don't know whether you want two Kunias in your starting lineup, but then, you know, ah Palace of God is a ah maybe,
00:15:59
Wale Bakare
uh palace don't have that kind of um you know don't have someone playing the center the the number nine position you know drifting into the midfield and uh beating players and ground duels but then mattetta's you know beating players and aerial duels anyway so at least you can take one of those i think he won four of his six duels in the last game but
00:16:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm fine, I like it.
00:16:22
Wale Bakare
Konya is a very is a very you know fantastic player, at least for his level, does great job for wolves. you know Always a constant threat for opposition defenders. But then, um as I said, pilots who've got Eze on his day is as good as anyone can you know take the ball.
00:16:43
Wale Bakare
from the defenders, beat everyone and get a goal if he wants to. um So um I really wouldn't say Palace need a player like Konya, but of course Wolves need a player like Konya and they've got it, but Palace have got Eze as well.
The Need for New Players at Palace
00:16:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
i mean I think you but you'd make a fair point. I'd play like Kunur and I'd take Asley over him. um That said, he was wonderful to watch your points in this game. Such a silky touch and probably suits Wolves better than Palace. I think where we see him do his best work is streaking forward on the counter-attack and even though he's not,
00:17:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
blisteringly fast, he's just got that understanding of space and it's that cool head, isn't it? While while everything's frantic around you, his his ability to find the pass, read the game,
00:17:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
just use the momentum of a defender against them as we were starting with forward Trevcalibur at the weekend. It takes that ball down and and completely sits him on his bum.
00:17:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's fun to watch. I mainly want to just get appreciation.
00:17:52
Wale Bakare
I don't know, I don't know why.
00:17:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
any
00:17:55
Wale Bakare
I don't i was gonna say, I don't know why Chelsea sold him. He could be playing instead of Nicholas Jackson, honestly.
00:18:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
But Nicholas Jackson, I mean, we took his mind a star earlier in terms of, if you keep getting the chances, they start going in.
00:18:02
Wale Bakare
and you
00:18:04
Finn
Who's that? Who couldn't you?
00:18:06
Wale Bakare
No, I'm saying Shaluba would be a better nine for them than Nicholas Jackson.
00:18:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nicholas Jackson's going in, that's not bad. But Chalipar's. I think you had played for Chalipar.
00:18:17
Finn
Savage.
00:18:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, I mean, what a finish, what a finish from Chalipar. It's a very good point, Wally.
00:18:24
Finn
Excellent technique.
00:18:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Oh, I mean, just squeezed it in Van Persie-esque, didn't need that near poster, it was fantastic. um yeah Of course, he did also just airball, like one from three yards in the first half. Let's learn about that a bit better. Let's do the 12th sport, Finn. Jamie O'Hara caps on. ah Finn, should Mateta's goal at the end ah have been ruled out, or has the game gone?
00:18:53
Finn
Listen, I'm never going to wear a Jamie O'Hara cap. I'm just going to put that out there. and He's a donut. That's the nicest thing I can say about that guy. um ah If I was going to be sort of super biased, Crystal Palace have no common sense. I'd be like, yeah, goals should stand three points, bush, bash, bush. But I have eyes in my head and I also understand what the rules of the game are. If the player, if the goalkeeper has two hands on the ball, um, and then receives a challenge, it's a foul. So, and that's what happened. And as much as I'd love to have taken those three points and John Philip Mateta get another goal.
00:19:30
Finn
The rules, them's are the breaks. The rules are the rules. And like, there you go. Nice and easy. Not very talk sport. Sorry.
00:19:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, and I completely agree.
00:19:36
Finn
Not very Jamie.
00:19:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, I think it's some of the discourse around this is, is, is very ridiculous. You see why it's kind of frustrating. pundits of the games gone kind of variety keep saying things like, you know, goalkeepers, if there was any other player, that wouldn't be a foul.
00:19:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
If there was any other player, it would have been a handball denial of a serious ghost coming up as you can see in a red card.
00:20:02
Finn
um ah Exactly.
00:20:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Of course, it was different around goalkeepers.
00:20:05
Finn
There's players on the pitch who you breathe too quickly near them. like and and it's ah And it's a free kick, so I totally disagree with whoever said that.
00:20:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:14
Finn
um Yeah.
00:20:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:20:16
Finn
no i just Also, can I just point out, totally totally unrelated.
00:20:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
a
00:20:19
Finn
Did anyone else find it really weird that Wolves have a play called Totti? I kept on hearing like the whole way throughout the game, Totti.
00:20:26
Wale Bakare
Oh, yeah.
00:20:26
Finn
And I was like, I was like, he's back. but my stroke and then i' like oh wait no ah gome was like ah come on don't call him to you talk you gomas don't get they in my hopes up like that
00:20:37
Finn
i'm ah but i'm a big total man
00:20:37
Wale Bakare
If they had taught me, they probably would have won that game easily.
00:20:41
Finn
Honestly, right? Even if he was playing at left back, do you know what I mean?
00:20:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I don't admittedly know how old Tottie Gomez is, but I would say in his defence that I'm sure people thought about Christiana and Elba in the land on the sea. I think I might hope so.
00:20:53
Finn
i think I think the actual totty could probably be his dad.
00:20:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah have flat latin name
00:20:58
Finn
That's that's like how young he is. like
00:21:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
The actual TOT is an absolute, absolute hero. I don't have it with me here, but um I used to do all my GCSEs and A-level revision with ah a TOTy bobblehead on my desk, which scratch the itch every time I felt the urge to go and play football manager instead. um but Lastly, just to wrap up, ah discussion oh of the weekend's game.
Palace's Recent Performance and Future Outlook
00:21:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
where Why do you think this sort of leaves Palace? Which team would be happier with the point? you know What's the you overriding feeling from a Palace perspective coming out of this game?
00:21:43
Wale Bakare
Well, you know, ah um I'm taking i'm i'm i I'm going to be very positive and optimistic and just take the the last two or the last three games in isolation and say, it's great that, you know, um so if you look at the last three games, the last two Premier League games, and of course, the game in the ah the League Cup game,
00:22:04
Wale Bakare
two wins against teams that you would expect, you know, to beat Pallas with the current form that the team is in. That's in Sporsen, Aston Villa. Pallas got, you know, impressive victories in those games. um Wolves were a duo win. ah They were playing at the Molyneux. They could easily have, you know, wrapped up the game, especially after going two on up. Pallas, you know, came back into the game ah you know, got got the equalizer according to Jamie or maybe you could have gotten the winner, you know, but...
00:22:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know how to actually say this. It's more Alan Shearer and then Gary. What was it? Oh, Michael Richards and Gary Laker.
00:22:46
Wale Bakare
All the same.
00:22:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Some puns. everything things are hot that's it
00:22:50
Wale Bakare
but But really, um the fact you know when when you put all of those together, you'd say the team is in a good place. We were um very scared. The rhetoric around Palace about three weeks ago is not the same at the moment. A lot of fans, you know where in fact, there were already talks in the room on meals about um Although maybe not not no substance to them, but there were already talks about ah possible replacements for Olivier Glastner. So ah the the the team is at a better place, definitely. um we What will be critical is the next game against Fulham. That is a very important game for Palace. If after the game against Fulham,
00:23:38
Wale Bakare
Palace have got two wins and one draw in their last three Premier League games, then it would have you know been a good return. But the game against Fulham is going to be very, very important. And for me, it has to be a victory. ah The Palace will be gone in four. But in the last three games now, in the last two weeks there about now, um you could see that there is some ah ah There's some better body language from the players. ah there There is this sense of ah belief that maybe we didn't see in the first couple of games of the season, especially when the team went behind. um What we used to see was, just as we've mentioned before on the sport, and Finn alluded to it earlier, you know
00:24:23
Wale Bakare
going a goal down and Ed's dropping. You could see you know players like La Croix, players like Gay you know charging the boys up. you know just a yeah And ah from what we saw against Wolves, you know Gay took matters by the scruff and got the equalizer. By the way, it does look like maybe Palace need to be targeting the back post more often
Improved Fire and Tactical Bravery
00:24:47
Wale Bakare
with set pieces. But um um um um I'm a lot more positive, things are looking up a bit, but things are a lot more positive than they were a couple of weeks ago, so you you really can't complain. Three games, two wins against Tottenham, against Villa, a draw at Molyneux, that really ah looks like, you know, great results in the last three games. As I said, a victory against Fulham, we'll just wrap it all up and we'll go to the international outbreak, feeling like pilots are top of the league, honestly.
00:25:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think that's spot on why. Three games, not just three decent results, but three completely deserved results, three decent performances could have three wins probably, I think. And the point you make about how fired up the players seem for the first time this season where they seem to be a bit of a daze that they kind of come into the start of the season too calm and I had almost focused on dealing with the expectation and pressure that was brought by end of last season so much that they actually started the season kind of complacent and mellow. The fact that they've got that kind of fire in their bellies again is is evident.
00:26:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Even in the chaotic way they conceded the goals today, I was just playing with with bravery and that clear has been a message from Glastner and is has borne through and brought entertainment and good results back to Palace. um On that we will take our last break and then go into our final segment.
00:26:52

So yeah, that's that's enough on that particular thriller. ah Michelle Hussein dropped some serious bad news on the Today program this morning as I was walking to work. Legendary music producer Quincy Jones has died aged 92. Jones was perhaps most famous for his work with Michael Jackson. So this got me thinking, which palace flair would make the best King of Pop?
00:27:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
while they will start with your suggestion and see if Finn can beat it and listen please feel free to stop if you've had enough.
00:27:24
Wale Bakare
Well, first of all, I have to say, I don't think anyone is going to be king of pop. um You know, no one is going to do what Michael Jackson did. Everything he did, I wouldn't go into details.
00:27:38
Wale Bakare
but
00:27:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
and fine
00:27:40
Wale Bakare
with But um to noah um um um I I just look at the squad and I a look at physique, a look at who could be a good dancer, who could maybe have moves.
00:27:59
Wale Bakare
i just I'm just leaning towards the American Richards. I'm thinking, well, they tend to know how to party. I'm guessing he knows how. I ah expect he knows how to party. He's probably got some moves and maybe is it's 24, so it's most likely going to be, I don't know, maybe more likely going to be a little baby ah fan, other than Michael Jackson. but ah um I'm leaning towards Richard's for me. um I'm backing him to be the one who's got the chance to be maybe not King. Well, not Prince. But something will pop.
00:28:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
um I like him. I like Rich to shout. He's showing he can play on a five and his haircut is is quite Jackson's era, quite Motown, isn't it? So I think he's absolutely the spot on shout of Chris Richards. um What about you, Finn? Who are you thinking?
00:28:53
Finn
You're really going to like my answer, Joe. I think you already know who I'm going to go for just because I think he has that bravado. I feel like he's like.
00:28:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm actually the same man I'm going for.
00:29:02
Finn
I feel like he has that capability as a music producer myself. I feel like someone like, I don't know what his musical skills are, but I feel like he's got that bravado. Jean-Philippe Mateta, I feel has that ability to be a sort of great, a great front man, a great sort of, you know, like party starter. And then it got me thinking about how the other players in the squad, what they would fit into musically.
00:29:25
Finn
And I thought, for example, Eddie and Ketia and Trevor Chalabar could definitely start like maybe a bit of like a, a grime thing, maybe like a South London, like grime cipher. Mateus Franke could do like a, like a samba thing, but probably would break his leg like during the carnival because he's a failure.
00:29:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Alright, this is nice.
00:29:42
Wale Bakare
I just I just wonder what day to come out I would.
00:29:42
Finn
yeah
00:29:45
Finn
Daishi Kamada got him sorted, Daishi Kamada, like lots of, we've got loads of amazing Japanese sort of seventies disco. He'd be sort of, you know, he'd be a, or if anyone's a bit of a hip hop head, maybe he would do some like new Jabez style hip hop beats.
00:29:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nice.
00:30:00
Finn
Um, who else we got? I feel like Joel Ward would be a bit of a sort of, you know, schmoozer. He's got a bit of a, I dunno, he's got a bit of like a piano lounge feel about him.
00:30:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
He can play a Christmas album. Yeah, he can play a Christmas album for sure.
00:30:12
Finn
Daniel Munoz could be playing a bit of reggaeton, you know, doing a bit of the Colombian stuff, the Colombian vibes. I definitely think Ismaila Saar could be a good jazz musician, because he pleases keeps on playing ghost notes, as in he keeps on missing them out.
00:30:28
Wale Bakare
Aza is definitely EAP.
00:30:28
Finn
I told you it was about...
00:30:30
Wale Bakare
Aza is definitely AfroBits.
00:30:31
Finn
Oh, for real, for real.
00:30:32
Wale Bakare
Definitely.
00:30:34
Finn
I think Eze's got that sort of, you know, exactly. He's got that Afro beat. I told you there was a bad joke coming, by the way, with Ishmael Assal. So glad you went I'm glad you went easy on me.
00:30:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that was really good.
00:30:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I was expecting.
00:30:47
Finn
um And then I think Dean Henderson, he's got a bit of like, I think he, I always feel like this is, drummers are a bit like this, aren't they?
00:30:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:30:54
Finn
They're just like, they are, they are the keepers, the goal keepers of a band. And I feel like Dean Henderson would definitely, I could see him behind a kit. He would definitely be doing like, maybe like like an indie band or a rock band or something like that.
00:31:03
Wale Bakare
I was going to say that, Joe.
00:31:06
Finn
So, yeah.
00:31:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
absolutely lunatics. Dean Edison fits that fit side category pretty well. I like the idea of the, yeah, cello and quetzia, southland and grime scene.
00:31:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'd like to think on that. Do you know those guys, Pete and Baz, those sort of older boys?
00:31:22
Finn
Yes, i'm i i've I've been told that that's basically my trajectory, so looking forward to i can forward to that as an old teaser.
00:31:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
on
00:31:27
Wale Bakare
yeah
00:31:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe Roy, I think maybe Roy could be an outside shout for a ah ah grime star.
00:31:33
Finn
He could jump on one of their tracks, couldn't he? That'd be a great like little featuring.
00:31:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, Pete doesn't, Roy.
00:31:37
Finn
for What would his grime name just be? Woy.
00:31:41
Finn
Woy the boy. a boy
00:31:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
would have to do.
00:31:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
a yeah ber away know um think yeah that the ah yeah I've obviously gone the tetta as well, unsurprisingly. um One, he had a whole Stade de France singing in unison over the Olympics. I've not seen anyone galvanise that many Frenchmen sing together since Hugh Jackman or Russell Crowe.
00:32:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah He's got the bod to sell the calendars. He's got a good name. I think having the three names in there is is really positive. If you've got any doubts about his ability to move, watch his goal against United last season.
00:32:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's in touch with us artistic side too, or he's a sensitive side as evidenced by video which Finn sent through to our group chat earlier where he rubs Dean Anderson's shoulders for a ridiculous
00:32:39
Finn
It was very sensual, wasn't it? It was quite a while as well.
00:32:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Are you understanding?
00:32:42
Finn
I mean, it's really nice that, you know, he's offering that support to his teammates, but at the same time, like, what is the cutoff point? When, when is it like, okay, right. I appreciate you're trying to relax me and get me in the zone, but now I just feel like this is, it's bordering on a HR issue.
00:32:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
and I don't... Yeah...
00:32:52
Wale Bakare
I thought maybe the video was a loop or something.
00:32:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
It doesn't look like...
00:33:00
Finn
Like, I know we spend a lot of time together, like this change of rooms and stuff, but come on.
00:33:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
It doesn't like he's getting more relaxed throughout the course of the massage, Dean, and the shots start going up, and he's like, muttering stuff to himself.
00:33:11
Wale Bakare
Or maybe it was misogyny don't fingers maybe.
00:33:12
Finn
made him made a board
00:33:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know, yeah, and on on the test, he also tucks his shirt in, so I think he'd appeal to the nans, I think, across the walls.
00:33:25
Finn
I'm telling you, that's that's where his fortunes changed. Everyone says it was Oliver Glazner. I'm telling you, as soon as he started tucking his shirt in, that's when the goals started pouring in, man.
00:33:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:33:33
Finn
I'm telling you.
00:33:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Great pounds. Great pounds. That's what it's all about. um
00:33:38
Wale Bakare
To be honest, if ah if we ever come up with something about the maybe shortest Palace players, I feel Joel would still say Mateta.
00:33:51
Finn
He loves him. He's just obsessed with him.
00:33:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Let's go cheaper.
00:33:55
Finn
We'll have to facilitate a meeting of you with you guys. i think it would like there's There's a really good clip. I'll find it later and put it in our in our group chat and on our Twitter page as well, so you guys so our listeners can enjoy.
00:34:07
Finn
But um there's him being interviewed in a cafe in Norwood Junction, and he's wearing sunglasses. I think it's like November as well. He's wearing sunglasses inside this cafe, and he's being asked questions by his teammates.
00:34:20
Finn
I can't remember who it was. And he's sitting there and he's just like, they'll ask, Hey, so what do you prefer? Like coffee or tea or what do you have in your orange shoes? And he goes, I just like herbal tea. You know, he's just, he's just being very sort of like devilish.
00:34:31
Wale Bakare
but
00:34:32
Finn
He's still a bit like he's been, he's been a minx. Do you know what I mean? He's sort of like cheeky.
00:34:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:34:37
Finn
I like it.
00:34:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
That would definitely be an underlying saucy note to whatever Mattel did. I'm not sure what the genre would be, but there would be a yeah said bravado, a certain amount of... yeah to get excited to just think about John Fleetman's head to the song before I fall into a trance, fall into a daze, think about the album.
00:35:01
Finn
ah jack called First track called pre-game massage.
00:35:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
We can rap the podcast out there.
00:35:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, that's the single leading up to the album.
00:35:12
Finn
rubbing in the front Rubbing in the tunnel.
00:35:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
but try Yeah those draggers just actually nothing for 20 minutes and then yeah one drag called Incomplete Head of Pass.
00:35:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think on that we'll wrap up the pod while in Finn. Thank you for joining me today.
00:35:33
Finn
No, thank you mate.
00:35:35
Wale Bakare
Cheers, Paul.
00:35:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
