 hope Palace go down because of last season. And their shit.

But mainly because that face rubbing fraud, deserves to have his "legend" status shown up for what it is.

[Crosby Nick]

This was a genuine quote from someone like Henry Winter wasn't it?

In one

[spen71]

I hope the twat gets humiliated every week 

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

Wonder if there are odds available on the Owl being the next PL manager to be fired? I'd be astonished if he's still there at Christmas with that run they have ahead of them. If you compare it to Redknapp at Birmingham, at least they had scored some goals and had points on the board when Harry got the sack; no goals, no points, end of September, fucking hell. I'd like to say I feel sorry for their fans but I really, really don't. A perfect match.

[Nick110581]

Just watched the highlights.

He's sitting there looking clueless / disinterested as his team were getting humiliated.

[Kekule]

So if they're being consistent, and fair to De Boer, then Hodgson has got two games to save his job right?

United and Chelsea next...

I hear Redknapp is available, all the old guard could get a go this season.

[Mercer]

He's gonna beat De Boer out of the door at this rate.

[Prelude no.5]

The quotes in the beginning never cease to rile me up.

Hiring him has to be the most shameful thing to have happened in this club, but then again it was the only time we were being run by bankers.

I wish the worst for him, not that I actively wish for his demise but let's just say that when it happens I will smile.

Fucking hell

Maybe they can stuff him and display him with the other owls at the Natural History museum

He's not even good as an owl impersonator. How many owls have you seen rubbing their face with that ferocity?

Archimedes in Sword in the Stone was constantly rubbing himself

I know a cracking owl sanctuary

[BlackandWhitePaul]

How much is this crazy old bastard getting paid?     

[Pistolero]

Palace will be relegated and will thoroughly deserve it for the beyond ludicrous sacking of De Boer and the hiring of De Bore...

[jillcwhomever]

Owls though have wisdom and intelligence. This guy is an owl fraud I think.

[Red Beret]

He has two dead rubber games that nobody expects him to get anything from.  That is utopia for the auld fraud.

We'll see what happens after that, but I don't want him sacked by Christmas.  That's too easy.  Let them all suffer a bit first.  See him gone by February - hopefully by then it will be too late.

[Brian Blessed]

Yeah, let him spend in January, really rub it in their faces.

[SP]

Derby got 11 points. Single digit points would be nice.

[CrasherKid79]

I love how Liverpool fans predicted the Euro shambles yet it fell on deaf ears to other fans. The Iceland debacle was a shock to the world apart from people who had seen those methods .... translated

Can they afford to sack another manager? I think they will stick with him

[dalarr]

Yeah, let him spend in January, really rub it in their faces.

Both Mr. Konchesky and Mr. Poulsen are still active football players. It's a long stretch but it could actually happen.

[Alf]

Doing a great job at lowering expectations is Roy Hodgson.

[Rush 82]

Watching a bit of the City Palace game - they showed a shot of the Owl - how that aul fraud is still around boggles the mind

[Zlen]

I made a new logo for Crystal Palace.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Bit of poo dropping out of the owl all over their name and it'd be perfect.

[Brian Blessed]

And add 1905-2018.

[vicgill]

He's back. Some call him Uncle Hodgson, some call him The Owl, some call him Hodgosaurus - no matter what you call him, you'll always know him certainly as Liverpool's worst ever manager and quite probably (IMO) England's worst ever manager too.

The man who didn't seem to mind too much when his Liverpool team lost to Everton, whose Liverpool team lost at home to Northampton Town, Wolves and Blackpool, took us to the relegation places, alienated the fans and signed some of the worst players to ever pull on the red shirt.

The man who despite his 40 years in management, has NEVER won a trophy outside the mighty Swiss and Scandinavian leagues or finished in the top 5 in the Premier League. His England team were knocked out of Euro 2016 by 133rd in the world ranked Iceland.

It's for all of these reasons and countless others that I find it shocking to see that once again, Roy Hodgson is to be the manager of a Premier League club - how does he keep getting these jobs? I honestly believed that after Euro 2016 I'd never again see his jowls wobbling on my TV screen or hear him flapping his gums as he tries to explain that a 3-0 loss at home is the best result the fans could hope for.

People will argue that Hodgson has a record of keeping smaller teams up, but surely in this era of football, the Crystal Palace hierarchy cannot seriously believe that a 70 year old man with his track record is the way forward for them?

I didn't rate De Boer personally, but are there no other managers out there that Palace could have lured? Harry Redknapp is one just off the top of my head that makes far more sense than the man who once proclaimed that his track record puts him in the same category as Alex Ferguson. 

So here's to another season of Hodgson, please, this time, let it be the last.

I think that comparing him to an Owl is very unfair on the Owl

[vicgill]

Brilliant can you do that

[Rush 82]

I have an Icelandic friend and on the morning of the England V Iceland game I sent him a message congratulating him on Iceland's win, i received a message back that just had HA HA HA on it, next day He sent another saying how did you do that

[elsewhere]

Their schedule

@United
vs Chelsea
@Newcastle
vs Westham
@ Spurs
vs Everton

So, clearly they will score their first goal against Everton?

I'd told people and they thought I was talking bollocks.

I recognised the lack of ideas against Wales when he basically through on every forward off the bench. That throw of the dice worked when Studge nicked it but was never going to last.

[vicgill]

He was recommended to the yanks by at least 2 Players and that is as far as i go

hopefully it will be too late, He is a horrible man as well as a creep and an arsehole is he still dragging that dickhead of an assistant around with him

[CrasherKid79]

When he threw Torres under the bus after "Sir Alex" accused him of diving makes me feel ill to this day.

Creep is a good word for him.

I know the guy you mean, Ray Lewington. Looks like a miserable old bastard with a football philosophy straight out of the Don Revie era in the 70's.

With Benteke now seemingly out for weeks or months, they've got literally no centre forwards in addition to being shit in general and having the worst manager in the league. I honestly think they'll go 8 or 9 games without a single point and I can't see them recovering, even after January, I think they're goners.. but the owl will quit before they do so that he won't stain his err.. glittering legacy with a relegation.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Next week I wish him all the best though.

[vallapureddy]

Better send him some Aspirin as he is asking for!!

Gives me Howard Wilkinson vibes when he took over Sunderland 2002/03.
