Bit of a random moment to make this point but I honestly feel like Mark Chapman is one of the best sports broadcasters around. Worked his way up through multiple different shows across various sports, is hugely knowledgeable without being arrogant. He’s everywhere and yet, I’m not in the slightest bit fatigued by his presence in the media, which says a great deal as far as I’m concerned. The bloke is a bit of a national treasure.

This podcast has been a long time coming. I don't ever want to be knee-jerk, I'm all for allowing people to prove themselves but nothing I've seen from the bloke leaves me feeling he's good for Crystal Palace FC.
