Sound of Football Podcast 638 - Where Eagles despair

It should probably go down as the biggest shock in FA Cup history: the holders, Crystal Palace, crashing out to non-league Macclesfied FC in the third round. But Palace fan Terry saw it coming and we have the audio to prove it! Also this week, in the immediate aftermath of Xabi Alonso being relieved of his duties at Real Madrid, after just seven months in the role, we discuss why he would be unsuitable for the vacant position at United.
