Winging It: A Crystal Palace Podcast episodes

March 10 104 - Sarr's Nose
Palace head to North London and leave Tottenham in absolute disarray. Ismaïla Sarr bags a brace as the Eagles thrash Spurs on their own patch, sending the hosts hurtling towards the Championship and giving the travelling Palace fans every excuse to celebrate. Party? Ball? Very much had.

Elsewhere in the wonderfully chaotic world of football, Oliver Glasner has somehow managed to pick up a six-month driving ban after speeding down the Old Kent Road, while over in Brazil a match descended into utter madness with 23 red cards shown in a single game. Just another normal week in football.

We also look ahead to Thursday night’s Conference League clash at Selhurst Park against AEK Larnaca. Can Palace avenge the 1-0 defeat from the league stage and take a step closer to Europe’s latter rounds?

Terence, Albert and Hesketh pick through the goals, the nonsense and the fallout from a glorious night for Palace in N17.

March 05 103 - Same Old Trafford Story
Another trip to Old Trafford, another tale of officiating woe. Terence, Albert and Hesketh relive Palace’s defeat at Manchester United, where the referee from Manchester apparently decided to let Harry Maguire take charge instead, resulting in Maxence Lacroix seeing red and United being handed a penalty that felt all too familiar.

Next up it’s Spurs away, with both sides stumbling badly. With Tottenham winless in ten and Palace searching for momentum, the big question is simple: when two footballing patients meet, will it be Dr Palace or Dr Spurs performing the surgery?

Finally, Stel from the This is Mappa Cypriot Football Podcast joins us to explain exactly what on earth is going on at AEK Larnaca, with Palace’s upcoming Conference League opponents seemingly going nuclear at the worst possible time.

February 25 102 - Humble
With the fanbase previously split on Glasner’s future, one word poured petrol on the fire. We unpack the fallout from the “humble” comments, the mood inside Selhurst as banners went up, and why the tide of opinion has finally turned against the manager.

Terence recounts the chaos of missing his flight back from Bosnia as we break down the performance against Zrinjski and what the second leg could have in store. Back on home soil, there’s a much-needed win over Wolves to savour, from the fans’ reaction to Pino’s substitution, to Chris “Jimi Hendrix” Richards riffing at the back, and Guessand striking the decisive note.

Not a full-blown revival just yet, but perhaps the first flickers of cohesion, resilience and belief that better days might not be too far away.

February 22 The Conference League Chronicles: Road to Red Bull - Episode 4
Pre-kick-off, Terence and Hesketh set the scene in Bosnia. Then it’s a trio of Winging It debuts. TikTok Keith, fan of the pod George, and Palace Addiction author James Howland. Plus bonus Dublin content with Chris Waters, which was the only recording we managed on that boozy night back in December.

February 18 101 - One Step Forward, Two Steps Backward
From the future to the first team, it’s a classic Palace rollercoaster. We celebrate a huge win for the Women and the U18s’ FA Youth Cup run, plus Terence gears up for the Palace for Life Bike From Arsenal (sponsors very much welcome!).

We had a lovely day at the seaside with our friends and relive the 1-0 win at Brighton, but the feel-good factor evaporates fast as Burnley stun Selhurst, despite a dream home debut brace from Strand Larsen. Cue the big question: has Glasner reached the end of the road at SE25?

With Wolves, United, Spurs and the Conference League looming, the next few weeks could define the season.

February 11 100- The Mike Rankine Interview
Episode 100 is a special one. Mike Rankine joins us to reflect on 16.5 years as Crystal Palace’s matchday announcer. From how he got the job to Crystanbul, Big Shaq, Elvis-Gate, pronunciation nightmares and unforgettable Selhurst atmospheres. It’s a brilliant chat with the voice a generation of fans grew up with.

February 04 99 - The Transfer Special
It’s the Winging It transfer special! Terence, Albert and Hesketh welcome Carl to run the rule over Palace’s January window. The signings, the ones that got away, and whether the club did enough. Plus thoughts on the Forest game and an early look ahead to Brighton.

January 28 98 - The Mateta Vendetta Part Deux
As Palace’s miserable run grinds on, Terence, Hesketh and Albert ask the uncomfortable question: is Jean-Philippe Mateta being unfairly hung out to dry, or is the criticism justified? The panel pick through another frustrating defeat to Chelsea, with Darren England once again centre-stage for all the wrong reasons at Selhurst Park. There’s a full rundown of the latest transfer noise, a look ahead to the trip to Mostar, and a surreal moment as Glasner is confronted in the street. Another week, another crisis meeting.

January 21 97 - Walking on broken Glasner
Walking on broken Glasner, try not to cut your feet! The fallout from Oliver Glasner’s explosive post-match press conference at Sunderland dominates this week as the panel ask the uncomfortable questions: has the Austrian damaged his reputation, and should he still be the man in charge at Selhurst Park? We touch on the defeat at the Stadium of Light, discuss JP Mateta’s uncertain future and the chain of events that might follow, and laugh at Esse scoring against Millwall and celebrating right in front of their fans. There’s also time to say goodbye to Marc Guéhi and congratulate Sarr on winning the memorable AFCON final.

January 16 Emergency Podcast: Glasner and Guehi to Depart
As many of us were booking flights to Bosnia in the wake of the Conference League draw, one could have been excused for expecting a fairly run of the mill press conference in the build up to Sunderland. Instead, one of the most explosive Crystal Palace press conferences in the history of the Club took place as it was revealed that both the Head Coach and the Club captain would be leaving South London.

As a result, Terence, Hesketh and Carl have assembled at short notice to share their thoughts on the days events.
