Series 4, Episode 2 - Part Ronaldinho, Part Phil Neville (with Elliot Steel)

FANS

And it’s LIVE! Yes, that’s right, it’s a rare face-to-face episode of FANS as Sachin is joined by comedian Elliot Steel at the Westow House Pub & Hotel in south London for a chat about Crystal Palace.

Westow House makes for an excellent setting for what proves to be an excellent chat about the Eagles - a club located not far from where Sachin and Elliot are meeting and who Elliot supports in large part because his dad does. His dad, in case you don't know, is the fellow, and brilliant, comedian Mark Steel and this episode opens with Sachin outlining his rather difficult and amusing relationship with Steel Snr.

There’s loads of chat regarding Elliot’s love/hate relationship with Palace, from the joy and pride he takes in watching them at Selhurst Park to his frustration with some of the players and games he has seen in his 20 or so years following the club. One man Elliot absolutely adores from that time is Iain Dowie and there is a lovely story regarding where and when he met the former Palace manager.

Elliot also delves into a variety of other topics, including which comedian is the best footballer, the real reason Jürgen Klopp is a great manager and why he cannot stand Arsenal fans. The latter makes for a sensational rant.

Elliot also talks through his all-time Palace XI and provides an interesting and typically funny answer to the final question.

So download, listen and love. And after you have, please Rate and Review. It would mean a lot.
