Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine
from News Talks ed B.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I've the worst dossal talas of just what the fa
talk big Manchester City, what a turn of this is
what a moment football of South London. I round Suthhurst
Park and beyond where are very well red and blue.
This is the moment you've been waiting one hundred and
(00:36):
twenty years four one hundred and twenty years for a
trophy for Crystal Palace. James mcconey was watching on amongst
all the other sport that he's been keeping eyes on
this weekend. I was delighted for Crystal Palace, James.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Amazing moment, incredible occasion. And also even though I'm not
a big fan of the monarchy, I really like Prince William,
so you know I had it all. But the fairy
tale story of Pallace was fantastic. And I mean you
and I have watched a lot of football over the years, Piney,
and it's one of those bloods that you kind of
say would be unfashionable.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Unfashionable is a great word. They're never going to win
the Premier League. I don't think that is drawing along,
but I know Lester won it, but I don't think
Pallas are ever going to win the Premier League. So
for them to finally win something significant like they have,
I'm just delighted for fans of the Super Eagles.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well it's only been one hundred and sixty four years,
so you know they eventually got across the line. But
we I mean, I remember a team back in the
day in the early nineties with you know, Ian Right
and Mark Bryce, and of course they they've had to
sell their players back then, they really did. And I mean,
like Premier League club's got your beloved Liverpool. They love
to swoop on a small and minnow team in the
(01:50):
Premier League, don't they, you know, to find a Van
Dyk or whoever a Saana. But I just hope that
Crystal Palace then can keep there. They've got four England
players there. One of them scored, Ibie Is, who's an
incredible will Are what do you call attacking midfielder. Their
keeper was a Mark Paston moment saved the penalty. And
(02:13):
by the way, with that penalty, Earling Harland, the Norwegian,
the striking Viking had the ball of teens. He was
going to take the penalty and he was overruled by
marmouse from Egypt. And obviously, I mean Egyptian players must
be in fashion because of most sala or whatever. But
the penalty was saved.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Pony who who takes a football off Earling Harland?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
It just seemed crazy to me. And I don't even
know where that ruling came from, because suddenly he had
the ball in his hands and there's a bit of
his delay. It was was that was the biggest drama
of the game. But yeah, who would do that? But
I'm glad they did because now we've got the Palace
story and seeing those fans, those Palace fans in the stands,
I got emotional watching that, And you know, we could
(02:57):
have a similar situation in Auckland very soon.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Well, I was going to say, I might not take
one hundred and twenty years for Auckland FC. It might
take one year there, one game away from the Grand Final,
which I'll host. If they make it, they've got to
be a really good shot of winning the whole thing
in their first year, don't they.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, they did look very good in Melbourne last night,
and I was kind of surprised at the way the
victory approached the game, especially at the end they threw
people forward, and I thought, just take the one Ney'll
loss and rebuild on what will probably be a much
nicer pitch and hopefully a nicer evening in Auckland. Because
(03:35):
they almost conceded too that Moreno hit the post. It
was a double poster. You don't often see it, piney,
but that was incredible too.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yep, the rarely seen double poster. And Andy my producers
pointed out that he thinks it was an equalateral triangle
post to post to keeper. He reckons that's an equal
acterual triangle.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, exactly. We need Pythagoras to get out there and
confirm this. The fact is that I thought that, oh,
there's another thing that's weird as well that might intrigue
Andy because he's into triangles. Is the Melbourne victory. Obviously
they've got the V on their shirts, but the three
most dangerous players are called Vergos, Valadon and.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Velop lots of 's, lots of v's and indeed, indeed
and only only one nail behind him with lots of
attacking threats. Next week could be very interesting. Now, can
I ask you about more on a pacifica I absolutely
loved this, not just because they beat the Blues. The
Blues have been a bit of a you know. I mean,
I know a lot of people just don't know the
Blues because they're from Auckland. But I just thought, more
(04:36):
on a Pacifica, what a story this is.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, the story helps with that. The Blues will always
regret not sending one more person to that ruck to
clean out Artie Savier. So yes, I watched it in
the replayer. I was like, you just needed one more
person to clean out or is probably on out left.
It's sort of done the damage and they are right
on their goal line. But hey, it makes for the
perfect narrative, doesn't it. Everyone loves a hero story. Artie Savier.
(05:04):
He's been the best player all season. He I think
Wina Pacifica means more to him than the All Blacks.
I think you're going to see it in the way
that he plays leading that side. You know, he takes
it personally, as Michael Jordan would say, and watch the
breakdown on sky lad tonight. They're going to analyze his performance.
(05:26):
His performance and also go over other compared it to
other great individual performances in Super rugby history. I know
you've probably got a few pioneer like a Christian Cullen
or whatever the Hurricanes people dream about.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
No, we do, we dream. We dream a little bit
about Christian Cullen on occasion.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, absolutely, Well do you dream about wallis a tit?
I have nominated that one?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I wonder well, actually, actually, well that's no, You're right.
That semi final against the Hurricanes was was probably the
most recent example of one man standing head and shoulders
above the other forty five who took part in the game.
But yeah, I mean, Arlie last night, I've said it
a few times on the shots. Impossible to find any
more words really, so I'll look forward to seeing the
analysis tonight. Hey, Warriors as well, five in a row
(06:13):
winning the tight ones. I'm sure Andrew Ribster would prefer
it if they weren't quite so tight, but they're getting
across the line.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, I mean, I've been listening to your callers, very
educated league public, I must add, and I sort of
agreed with bits of whatever Ee was saying. But what
I really do like is that the playmaking is being
shared really nicely, and the key to that is that
Aaron Clark has half back skills, so when he's got
the ball in his hands, you feel as confident as
(06:40):
you do with anyone in that team. So it's such
a bonus having a playmaker like that at Locke, and
he obviously does all the hard work as well. Very
tough man to put down, but I'd say that the
reason why all they have seemed to function really nicely
is because of Aaron Clark.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Do you think Luk Metcalf's doing well? It seems to
be divided opinion on this. I think he's doing pretty well,
isn't he? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I do. I mean he's not an outrageous talent like
some others that you see around around the league at
the moment where you just go okay, you know, but
it's hard to find a really good halfback, and I
think you know, he's a great support players. He's clever
as kicking has been. He's put in some fantastic kicks.
I mean there was another one at the weekend, right,
So you can't fault I guess what he's done with
(07:29):
his experience. You know, we've got to wait with Luke Metcalf.
Just be patient. Yeah, But I also felt that without
someone like tying to a Picky who's been dropped for
Roger two of us A ship. I get that, but
it'd be nice to have room on the bench with
someone who's that electric you mentioned him with fresh legs
coming on in the second half. Then all hell breaks loose.
(07:50):
Then you'll see the best of someone like Luke.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
A great rappers always, James, am I going to see
you at go Media Stadium next Saturday night for Auckland FC.
Will you be able to make it along.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I'll be standing right behind you, Poney, just like that
scene from.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Ghosts what the pottery scene?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
The pottery scene. Yes, I'll be there singing Home Chained
Melody and yeah, it's going to be one of the
great nights of our lives.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I cannot wait. I simply cannot wait. Thanks James, James mcconey,
Craig goes Well, Alternative commentary, collective and all across your
socials too, and a big part of our Sundays here
on News Talks EDB.
