00:00 away on Saturday. Does the team find it easier, perhaps, playing away from home than home at the moment?
00:05 No, I don't think so. I think I've spoken recently about this.
00:09 The results change that perception.
00:12 I think the performance has been really strong at home.
00:14 The results change the whole feel of that.
00:16 I think we've actually been strong often home and away.
00:20 There's been a few that have got away from us.
00:21 We know that. Hopefully, we've corrected some of them things.
00:25 But no, Palace is a good club, fantastic manager.
00:28 Ray Lewin as well. People are holding absolute high regard.
00:32 So I look forward to seeing them.
00:33 But obviously, all the respect goes out the window when the whistle blows.
00:37 Sean, just picking up on that, can I ask you about your thoughts on Roy Hodgson?
00:40 Because he seems to get better with age, doesn't he?
00:43 He was retired a couple of times.
00:45 I tell him every time I see him, I'll be telling him, like this weekend, what are you doing?
00:48 So I say, what are you doing this for?
00:50 Come on, mate. You know what I mean? In a lovely way, you understand.
00:54 Terrific fella, always been terrific with me.
00:56 When I was younger, coming through, whenever I met him, come across him.
00:59 I know him a bit through some work and connections I've done with leaders in sport as well.
01:03 He's always at them events, speaks very wisely.
01:05 And Ray Lewin, who was my manager at Watford, and I've always got on fantastically with Ray.
01:10 He was a great gaffer as well.
01:11 So, I like a lot of what they are and what they do.
01:14 Respect them, and that's without a shadow of a doubt.
01:16 But they know and I know the whistle blows, as I said, and that all goes out the window
01:20 forever, along the referee plays.
01:21 And then afterwards, I hope to go and see him and have a chat.
