What surprising result did Port Vale achieve in the FA Cup?
Coming up on today's show, Port Vale. Wow. Didn't really see that one coming against Sunderland. You've got a little smile on your face. We couldn't have Sunderland going further than Newcastle. Arsenal still battling on four fronts. When are we allowed to mention the... Max Dalman.
What a talent. It's so exciting. The way he glides past players. Wow, doesn't he? And his touch. He's a special player. Come on, guys. Give him a credit. João Pedro. I told you about him a couple of years ago. I told you.
What do you mean?
Who is Max Dalman and why is he considered a talent?
It doesn't take a fucking genius to work out João Pedro as a good player.
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and me, Gary Lineker. We're doing this Sunday. It's FA Cup weekend. This section of the show will be discussing the games that have already been played Friday and Saturday. Alan, you've been exceptionally busy. Micah, I'm not sure what you've been up to. I was doing the same game as Alan as well.
You didn't do both though, did you? Just one, yeah. Exactly. Just the Wrexham-Chelsea game. Fantastic.
You can't do two games in a weekend. You can only work one day. Remember that?
Precisely my point, Alan, really.
That's what he was alluding to. I don't know where he's going with it. But, you know, Alan's a seasoned veteran at this sort of thing, aren't you? Yeah.
I felt a veteran this morning when I woke up. When I got in, I don't know, after extra time and travel on the motorway and all of that, I felt the right veteran, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, extra time in these FA Cup ties. I always think, just go straight to penalties.
What is the current status of Arsenal in the Premier League?
Particularly when you're broadcasting, because obviously time is ticking on. You only get home at some point. And generally, extra time. Well, it did sort it out, obviously, in the direction of Chelsea game that we'll come to in a while. But yeah. I don't know about extra time.
No, I'm about the same, especially with the games and everything that's going on. I would be in favour of just going straight to penalties.
I also think it gives the smaller clubs a little bit more of a chance.
Yeah.
I think generally, which we perhaps need to do, because we had a couple of classic cup ties this weekend where the underdogs had a real go and Wrexham, if it had gone straight to penalties, would have had a chance, wouldn't they?
Especially with the firepower the big boys can bring on towards the end and into extra time as well.
Huge advantage with the big squads.
Which was yesterday for Chelsea. I mean, João Pedro, he was just a class above everyone yesterday when he came on for Chelsea.
Now I know why you like doing co-coms. Being at the ground yesterday was just outstanding. The Wrexham fans were brilliant and the game just offered so much. It was like, was it going to go one way? And then you think Rex.
You mean even, you mean at pitch side, you were rather than in the studio, even in the, even in the ground in the studio, it's slightly different, but pitch side and the amazing atmosphere, isn't it?
It's top, top notch. Well, you pitch side last night, Micah. Yeah, it was pitch-eyed.
Before, during and after. Yeah, it was good, actually. We had Ben Tozer, who's formerly of Wrexham. So it's always good, you know, when you can get that insight from the club, someone who's played there. Wayne Rooney and me and Chappers. And it was just... a good feeling from the start you know you're outside the fans are loud you're having a bit of fun and it's hectic isn't it because not everything's great in terms of the sound you know the technical aspects of it but it just makes you work a lot harder and you sort of have to be off the cuff and sort of ad lib and stuff so yeah it was really it was really fun
I've done obviously some games like that. The one thing is you can miss some of the action because you have to go somewhere else, don't you? I mean, when the game's going on, you've got to go and sit down somewhere. And then there's always a period where you're either coming back for half time or you're coming back for the end of the game and something happens.
