  Oh, what a goal by Peter Taylor.
• 0:20
  Hi there.
• 0:20
  Welcome to team of the 80s.
• 0:21
  My name is Gary Spencer.
• 0:23
  Thank you for tuning in.
• 0:24
  Before we go any further this week, please take the time to like and subscribe.
• 0:28
  I really do appreciate your comments and your opinions and then that just helps me look for things that we can talk about which we're going to get involved in.
• 0:38
  So really appreciate that.
• 0:39
  Okay, on with this week's show.
• 0:41
  I didn't really say much after the Nottingham Forest game.
• 0:44
  I felt that we were very lucky, let's be honest.
• 0:46
  Forest battered us in the first half and we got away with it.
• 0:50
  We got three points.
• 0:51
  And quite honestly, that's all I'm really interested in right now in the Premier League, just to get the points tonight, of course, we come unstuck against Leon and it's no more than I expected.
• 1:02
  If you're following this show, I've said all along that Europa League would be a big push for us this year.
• 1:07
  It'd be very tough for us to do well in that and win that cup like we did the conference.
• 1:11
  It's a completely different set of demands, completely different standard, and we're gonna have to go a long way to do anything in, in that cup at all.
• 1:22
  Back to the league, though.
• 1:25
  The Nottingham Forest game.
• 1:26
  Yeah, I mean, it could have been six, three to Forest, right?
• 1:29
  I mean, our defense was again, dreadful.
• 1:31
  We've really got to tighten up on the defense and our attacking.
• 1:36
  Well, I mean, we're scoring goals.
• 1:38
  I don't know how we're scoring goals.
• 1:39
  We are, but every game we're going to need five or six to get out of the game because our defending is so bad.
• 1:47
  And you know, I hear opinions, you know, the fans, oh, blame the board, blame the international break, blame the referee, all the blame.
• 1:59
  Yeah, I get it.
• 2:01
  But Sarge now is at the team for a while and we haven't sorted out the defense one iota, not one bit have we sorted out that defense.
• 2:10
  It has to be better.
• 2:11
  And you know what?
• 2:13
  We're not going to get any players in in January.
• 2:15
  We're just not.
• 2:16
  Look at who we got in in the summer.
• 2:18
  So we have to play a system which suits the players we've got.
• 2:21
  That's what management is.
• 2:23
  I know I've been banging on all the time about Sarge and how I don't want him to succeed.
• 2:28
  It's not that I don't feel he can succeed.
• 2:31
  I don't feel he can succeed.
• 2:33
  For me, started out, he.
• 2:36
  I don't know if he even if he knows his best defenders.
• 2:40
  And I felt he should have dropped Walton.
• 2:42
  I think he should have dropped Walton and he's made him skipper.
• 2:46
  I just feel that we are really struggling in all departments and I don't know, after the Brighton game, God knows what's going to happen against Brighton.
• 2:57
  I mean, I just hope we get out of that town without being completely embarrassed, because right now, a team like Brighton are gonna run right with us.
• 3:07
  They're really going to have a field day.
• 3:09
  So let's hope we do.
• 3:13
  I don't know, we.
• 3:14
  We have a miraculous recovery for Brighton and we get away from it.
• 3:18
  But we needed.
• 3:19
  We need a different manager in there.
• 3:20
  We just do.
• 3:21
  We need a more defensively minded manager.
• 3:24
  We need to.
• 3:25
  First of all, before we start thinking about winning and going forward, we need to learn how to keep the point and try and find a clean sheet.
• 3:34
  That's the first thing we need to be doing.
• 3:37
  So, Sarge, for me, he's got to go.
• 3:39
  He's got to go.
• 3:39
  Like Paris said that he was on high alert.
• 3:43
  I think Parish said that deliberately.
• 3:44
  And.
• 3:45
  And Sarge has got to go.
• 3:48
  The Brighton game.
• 3:49
  Okay, so the Brighton rivalry goes back a long, long time.
• 3:52
  I think it started when I first started going to palace, to be honest with you.
• 3:56
  And I interviewed Phil Alder last week.
• 3:58
  Phil's going to be on the show in around Christmas time.
• 4:02
  But I was chatting to Phil and he said to me that he felt the rivalry first started with him and Brian Horton.
• 4:09
  This is what Phil had to say.
• 4:11
  Yeah.
• 4:11
  You know, those battles with Brighton all come about through me.
• 4:16
  Yeah, me and Brian Orton, we used to.
• 4:19
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:20
  Kick the living daylights out of Stevie permanent.
• 4:24
  Saw Brian Alton do a function in the Midlands two or three years ago and my name popped up.
• 4:32
  He was absolutely shocked and aghast that Steve was.
• 4:39
  I was his best pal.
• 4:41
  He said, I hate him.
• 4:43
  I hate.
• 4:46
  You know, and he knew I hated him.
• 4:48
  You know, we had great battles, as we did with Brighton.
• 4:53
  That interview is absolutely brilliant.
• 4:55
  So please tune in and watch the whole of that interview, Phil.
• 4:58
  Phil's got some fabulous stories and don't forget he had a really good career as a manager.
• 5:03
  So the Phil Older show's coming up.
• 5:05
  I've also interviewed Neil Everett and Neil has been going home and away since I've known him.
• 5:11
  I've known Neil since I was 13 years old.
• 5:13
  And forget about being a great photographer.
• 5:16
  What a Palace fan is.
• 5:18
  He's so devoted.
• 5:19
  Last year, I think he went to 89 games.
• 5:21
  So Neil shared his Story with me and it was very, very good.
• 5:26
  I don't know about you, but I'm sick of Man City, right?
• 5:28
  I mean, I'm sick of hearing about them, okay, we know that they've done wrong, we know their cheats, but let's just find the punishment and move on.
• 5:37
  But to listen to the sports shows every single day and it to be Man City from start to end, I'm over it already, right?
• 5:44
  Let's punish them, let's move on.
• 5:47
  It's ridiculous.
• 5:48
  I mean, there must be more content out there.
• 5:50
  The Man City right now mentioned earlier about Wharton.
• 5:54
  Yeah, he's still not even tonight against Leon where we did look particularly bad again in the first half and in the second half we weren't much better.
• 6:04
  Yeah, he did very well.
• 6:05
  I felt for the goal, Walton, but apart from that, his touch again was off.
• 6:09
  He's just off and he keeps getting played and oh man, he's a, he's a hard watch for me right now.
• 6:16
  Wharton, he really is deep.
• 6:17
  Did any of you listen to or watch the Emmanuel Petit conversation on Talk Sport the other day where he was talking about the disparity and how it's changed between the fans and the players and how he doesn't get
• 6:31
  any support these days from Arsenal?
• 6:33
  I found that conversation really, really interesting only because I've spoken to Andy Gray lately as you, you may or may not have heard that interview.
• 6:42
  Phil Oda, a lot of the ex palace boys, the, the.
• 6:46
  They also said that they get no support these days from Crystal palace.
• 6:49
  And it seems to me that just doesn't go on at Crystal Palace.
• 6:52
  It seems to me that even the bigger clubs, even someone like Emmanuel Petit, who was one of the Invincibles, I think, I think he was, he certainly won a championship with them.
• 7:04
  He doesn't get any love either.
• 7:06
  So that, that's a shame that the, the clubs are moving away from past players.
• 7:11
  They should, they should embrace the history.
• 7:14
  Because like I said to you, when you go onto YouTube and look at YouTube programs and you look at everything, that is when you learn about the teams and you learn about the clubs and you learn about the
• 7:26
  players and you know, quite honestly, the past players are like ongoing PR for that.
• 7:32
  If you look at the Liverpool palace game, for instance, where Andy scores that goal, that is constant PR and it's just successful through YouTube.
• 7:39
  So just look after, look after your ex players.
• 7:42
  And also I was very happy.
• 7:44
  I mean, I wasn't Glasner's biggest fan, everybody knows that.
• 7:47
  But I do feel that he turned it around for the club and in the end he did very, very well for the club.
• 7:53
  I felt that it was great that the reception he got the other day when we played, it didn't surprise me that the palace fans did that for him.
• 8:01
  I know the majority do love and appreciate what he did.
• 8:06
  I felt a little bit weird that some of the palace fans were going overboard about Glassner's thoughts after the game.
• 8:14
  I mean, what else is he going to say?
• 8:16
  I mean it doesn't, it, it doesn't cost him, it's just not going to hurt him at all to be complimentary about palace and the fans, etc.
• 8:24
  Etc.
• 8:24
  But overall I thought it was very nice how we treated him on Sunday.
• 8:30
  Looking for, looking forward ahead to the rest of the year.
• 8:34
  I've got Dave Lewis on who is he wrote a book called the Real Story of the team of the 80s.
• 8:41
  Like I said, Neil Everett's coming up.
• 8:42
  He's got, he's going to be sharing his photographs with us and talking about a new book that he's got coming out next year.
• 8:48
  And of course the brilliant Phil Holder who's got some great stories about, as we've just seen, about the rivalry with Brighton.
• 8:57
  I'm going to leave you now.
• 8:58
  I'll speak to you soon and I'm going to leave you with something that Neil Everett said to me just the other day.
• 9:04
  If you said to me we'll win a European trophy, I'd have laughed like a drain.
• 9:09
  You go, that's just absurd.
• 9:11
  That to me was the pinnacle was, was winning that.
• 9:15
  I said to many there that, you know, this is, this is the end of the story.
• 9:19
  This is the end of the book.
• 9:21
  This is, this is where I check.
• 9:24
  Out probably let's not fall to Bright.
• 9:37
  That.
