What insights does John share from Budapest ahead of the UCL Final?
The commentator's view on the Football Daily with Alistair Bruce Ball, John Murray and Ian Dennis.
Hello, it's the Football Daily.
How did Crystal Palace achieve their Conference League victory?
I'm Alistair Bruce Ball, and this is the Commentator's View, Mark Chapman's favourite podcast, bar none of the ones he isn't on. And it's the one where we five live commentators talk about the matches we've seen, the words we've used to describe them, and the wonderful places the football takes us on our travels. Speaking of which, Ian Dennis, I know, will be packing his bags. Ready for an early departure to the east coast of the United States of America. Soon to bring us coverage of England's World Cup warm-up games. I'm just back from Leipzig where I saw Crystal Palace win a European trophy for the very first time. And correspondent John Murray says good morning to us from Budapest. John, good morning.
Good morning from Budapest, Ali and Ian.
And good morning to you in Budapest, John. Have you done football in Budapest before, John? Yes, yes, on several occasions. And I've actually, at least once, maybe more than that, come here to go somewhere else. So I've come here to drive on to somewhere else. I can't... I actually can't even remember where that was. So it's not uncharted territory by any means, Budapest.
What reflections do the commentators have on the Premier League final day?
But where I am, Ali, is, and the weather here is beautiful. It's just like it's been at home over the course of the last couple of weeks or so. But I've not stayed where I am for this, which is right next to the railway station, the magnificent railway station. main railway station of Budapest, which is actually we're in a walking distance away from the stadium, which for a Champions League final, I mean, that is that is worth its weight.
What special treatment did Ali receive at Bournemouth?
So it's about it's about 20 minutes walk, could be 30 for you, Ian. And you know so so we're not too far away so we'll be able to walk there and back most importantly on the way back after the match and right at the outset should say again because this may have escaped people's attention it is local time a six o'clock kickoff so it's five o'clock kickoff uk time which is the first time we've had that which i think is a great innovation for a whole variety of reasons But I think most importantly, it means that, you know, it's five o'clock UK time on a Saturday night.
What key points are discussed in the interview with Joseph Fiennes about Gareth Southgate?
But the station is a magnificent building. Absolutely magnificent building. It's a little bit crumbling around the edges, but that almost makes it better. And a lot of the signage is the old Hungarian signage, which is translated in lots of old wooden doors. And you just sort of think, from here, I could go anywhere. And the board of destinations is amazing. And also last night, came back last night, and they've projected, one of the sponsors has projected, I think it was Odegaard and Gabriel onto the front of the station, which looked amazing. So there's a little flavor of what I've seen so far in the few hours that I've been here. When you say you could go anywhere, I wouldn't bother doing that because in years to come, you won't remember where you would go on from Budapest.
But also, Ali, you're back from Leipzig and the train station in Leipzig is equally as spectacular. It is. And we were staying pretty close to it. And we equally were able to walk to the stadium, which I thought was a really good venue, actually, for the Conference League final. And what I'm going to take away with me is from the whole occasion. I mean, obviously, the story of Crystal Palace playing in their first European season and winning yet another trophy. So in the space of just over a year, having won no major trophies for 120 years to suddenly have three in the cabinet, that is obviously the story. But actually, my main memories will be of the city the day before the game, and these two sets of fans, I mean, both of whom were making the absolute most out of a fabulous occasion, because the Raya Vallecano story is an incredible one in itself.
What humorous moments arise during the discussion about cheesy pub names?
I mean, similarly in a way to Crystal Palace, sort of, you know, based in the capital city, in the southeastern suburbs, you know, if you're going to use the sporting cliche, sort of plucky underdogs.
