Summary
In this episode I'm joined by Chris Wheatley from Football London to discuss the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace, two goals for Nicolas Pepe, one for Gabriel Martinelli, and how both players have been used throughout this season. We also chat about a quiet night for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and what the win means for our European 'hopes' for next season, as well as what the future might hold for Greek defender Dinos Mavropanos.
Then for some Newcastle perspective on Joe Willock after yet another goal in black and white, I talk to Alex Hurst of True Faith about his loan spell there, how he's been used, what it might mean for their chances of keeping him, and more.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Scast right here on R-Splug.com. |
| 0:28.0 | It is also the last R-Scast of this season. |
| 0:32.0 | Can you believe it? |
| 0:34.0 | Despite all the ups and downs, well there weren't that many ups and |
| 0:38.0 | fans, lots of downs, quite a few sideways, there's a number of backwards and lots of diagonals |
| 0:44.0 | which didn't quite get where they were supposed to be going. |
| 0:47.0 | But it's done, it's over, we play our final game on Sunday against Brighton and Hove Albion. |
| 0:53.0 | There are still some things to be decided, I think that's the right way to put it, because if you say there is still |
| 1:01.0 | something to play for, it sounds like a thing that you might want. |
| 1:04.0 | And to those of you listening to this who actively want the Europa conference league, fair play. |
| 1:10.0 | I'm not here to stand in judgment, to each their own, etc, etc. |
| 1:16.0 | It's just not for me. |
| 1:18.0 | I don't really see the benefit of it, but of course there are other things that could happen on the final day. |
| 1:23.0 | We could not qualify for the Europa conference league and still finish above Spurs, which would be something, I guess. |
| 1:32.0 | I mean, you take your wins where you can get them, but really does it do anything to make up for what this season has been or not been as the case might be. |
| 1:42.0 | I'm not sure it really does, but it would still be a bit funny, I guess. |
| 1:47.0 | So let's see what happens. The teams involved in this final day, whoha, if you want to call it that. |
| 1:55.0 | I guess you call it that if you're Al Pacino, wouldn't you? The final day, whoha, are Arsenal, obviously Everton, Tonham and West Ham United, who currently sit in sixth. |
| 2:05.0 | So a point for West Ham would make sure that they've got Europa League football. |
| 2:09.0 | Tonham and Everton, well, no, Everton can't finish, because gold difference is terrible. |
| 2:14.0 | Tonham could finish sixth and get Europa League football. So we don't want that. |
| 2:19.0 | So we want West Ham to get a point and then maybe Everton to qualify for the Europa conference league thing and Tonham. |
