I think you'll find he is an Arsenal fan, but his wife and her family are Palace and does have a soft spot for us. I remember donkeys years ago sitting in the Old Stand, and JP was sitting behind me commentating for Capital Gold on a night game. I can't remember who we were playing but it was a dire game, and all you could here was Pearce screaming as though it was the 'El Classico' Great commentator imo. Bristol City

Their deflection wrong footed Speroni, ours took the ball slightly higher, not a lot of difference IMHO
