So yeah, credit, credit to, to palace. And obviously Beck's had a great time. A lot of love to David Abrams and Noah Abrams who are heavily connected with crystal palace. Friends of mine. Just an amazing story. Shouldn't be there. It's one of those, like you shouldn't be here. You shouldn't win this. And they did. And yeah, Oliver Glasner, their manager, has them playing some really good football.
You know, we tease Rebecca all the time, like, this is the kind of success under a manager who's quite good. Now, all of a sudden, like, they're going to be desperate to have to keep Oliver Glasner because he'll be wanted by a lot of big clubs.

I hear you. I hear you. Look, I think... I'll get to the penalty incident in a second. So I think this might be the problem this season with Man City. And I don't disagree with Pep. Like, fine, I'm on your side on this. But like, for a second, let's humor me. Like Pep's saying, like, it's a feel thing. I've got the best players in the world and they feel it.

Well, they probably haven't felt it all season because this is kind of a microcosm of what's happened over the course of this season.

The interesting part for me is the human element, right? Like we've both been there. The definition of courage I've heard is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway, right? And so there have been times where every player senses it. I feel it. You felt it. Where you're just scared to death of a moment. And sometimes you crumble in that moment. Sometimes you... you prosper.

But this is an interesting one because Erlen Haaland for me is superhuman. He showed to be superhuman. He showed that the only thing that matters to him in his life is scoring goals, right? We've seen that because he'll be on a brace, right? With 30 minutes left in the game and Pep takes him off. We've seen this a bunch of times and he's pissed off and he's angry.

By the way, his team's up like five nil and he scored two of those, right? So we know that scoring is important to him. So in this moment, this pivotal critical moment, I'm thinking this guy's superhuman. Give me the ball because why do I do best? And in that moment, he handed it off. So I can only think there had to have been doubt because this isn't a guy.

He's not an all shucks nice guy, by the way. He's not like, no, this is my mate. I want to endear him to the team. We just bought him from German football a couple months ago. I want him to have this limelight. That never went through his mind. Never. He's a dog, and he's nasty, and he wants that moment, and he passed it up. So there's something in that for me.
