For the first time in their 119-year existence, Crystal Palace can call themselves FA Cup winners after a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday. The Eagles were inspired by a heroic Dean Henderson performance after Eberechi Eze's goal gave them something to hang on to in the first half, and Man City couldn't break down the Palace door despite their efforts. Elsewhere, Goodison Park hosted its final game before Everton move to "Hill Dickinson Stadium" - something that irked Niall in today's Get In The Sea nominations. The Toffees eased past miserable Southampton to mark the occasion with three points on a day where 100 former players were invited to say their goodbyes. Also over the weekend there was ups and downs in the race for the European places. Arsenal secured second while simultaneously making Newcastle's fate go down to the final day, Aston Villa and Forest earned vital points too, but Brentford threw away a lead to lose to Fulham in a local derby, all but ending their hopes of a Conferen

Crystal Palace take on Manchester City on Saturday in arguably the biggest game in their history. In 119 years of existence, Palace haven't managed to win anything more than a second division title, and are up against Pep Guardiola's Citizens, who are hoping to salvage something from a poor season by their standards. Niall and Marley discuss whether this means more to Palace than it does to City, whether the Eagles have the right manager and squad in place to pull off the shock, and whether City have still had a poor season if they win the jug.

Sean Dyche has been in the media saying that he could have had a greater impact on the Manchester United squad than Ruben Amorim has in his time at the club. Does he have a point, or is it wishful thinking from the former Burnley and Everton boss? Elsewhere, Newcastle United have announced plans to change the club badge which has been in state for almost 40 years. Is it something that's a priority for the club's new era? Who better to ask than Newcastle fan Marley on today's podcast.

Evangelos Marinakis is still making headlines as Nottingham Forest released a statement on social media about the seriousness of Taiwo Awoniyi's injury suffered at the weekend. But does it provide a suitable reason for him storming the pitch after the 2-2 draw with Leicester? Elsewhere, Everton are allowing Goodison Park to keep hosting football. The club have confirmed their women's team is set to play their games at the iconic ground, but is the news as good as it seems? And finally, Manchester United have revealed that they won't host a trophy parade if they win the Europa League. Instead, a low-key barbecue at the training ground will be held as Jim Ratcliffe continues to penny pinch. All that and more discussed on today's FSD!

A large chunk of the Premier League now has either new or redeveloped stadiums, and Everton are soon to join that list. But will leaving a ground as iconic as Goodison Park mean they forego some of what makes the football club great? Will expectations be exaggerated upon moving to Bramley-Moore Dock?

But despite being an academy graduate who has won both the Champions League and the Premier League at Anfield, Liverpool fans are furious at his departure.

One of English football's most iconic occasions is almost here, but can Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace or Aston Villa make history on FA Cup semi-final weekend? Wembley plays host to our final four, of which 3 are looking to do something Man City are very familiar with, and that's make a major final. Can Palace win their first FA Cup ever? Can Forest complete a dream season? Can Emery bring Villa glory again? Or will City do what they always do? Niall and Marley look to answer those questions on this episode of FSD.

That's 13 draws now for the Gunners this season, so have they mentally checked out of their league campaign to focus on their Champions League semi-final?

FSD is back after the Easter break and there's a lot to discuss, with two new (or should that be old) names securing their top flight status for next season, as Burnley and Leeds secured promotion over the weekend. But with Leicester joining Southampton by dropping on Saturday, how do the Whites and the Clarets survive next season? Elsewhere, Manchester City recorded a huge last-gasp win over Aston Villa on Tuesday night, thanks to the much-maligned Matheus Nunes' 94th minute winner. Will they finish in the Champions League places after a bizarre season? Niall and Marley are on hand to discuss all that and more, including the confirmation that we will see a South coast derby next season, partly thanks to Mr and Mrs Murphy having a fumble 30 years ago...
