What a backwards decision it was to allow Hodgson to remain as manager this season.

He brought Eze off early in midweek for this

Hopefully he gets a chance at the mancs and Everton

He and they deserve it.

What a weird game, 2 nice goals at the end after Palace had already gifted them the game, but a truly flat, boring game of football.

So who’s Palace’s new coach going to be?

Graham Potter’s in the stand.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #284 on:** January 20, 2024, 02:33:51 pm »

Palace have one of the worst records of anyone at the Emirates, so sadly they were never going to win today.

Stupid decision. He's 76 as well, it's not like he's running to be US president.

If he though the reception he got going back to Brighton with Chelsea was bad.....

Also, he’s surely waiting to see what happens with ten Hag first!

They've had 8 permanent managers in the last 10 years and that list includes Warnock, Pulis, Allardyce and Hogdson (twice). They've obviously not lost any managers to bigger clubs. When they go for someone a bit younger with a more progressive style of play they get rid as soon as they hit a bad run and bring one of these back and the issue is they have a squad built for that alehouse type of negative football.

Fans pissed off, particularly as they'll see the football their rivals Brighton are playing, the structure they have and going well in Europe. Palace can never even get near the top half. The credit Hodgson had in the bank with the fans he lost when he slagged them off the other week.

If you're going to sack your manager, now is the season to do it, no way they are going down if they change

New manager bounce should kick in too. A new manager also has 4 months to work with the players and see what he needs well in advance of next season.

Fucks sake. Ivan Toney return. They trying to build it up akin to when Cantona returned for the Mancs.

Oddly enough Sky actually said it at same time of me posting

to Carra. Agreed it's not really the headline news they keep making it.

JRed · « **Reply #294 on:** January 20, 2024, 04:59:26 pm »

Ivan Toney made captain on his return. You’d have got decent odds for that!

4th top scorer in the league over the last few seasons. He's pretty good to be fair.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #296 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:20:11 pm »

It’s probably more of a deal because it’s this weird weekend with only 5 games and they’re all split. If this was a standard Saturday 3pm there’d be way less fuss.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #297 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:33:06 pm »

Worra hit, son.

Hazell · « **Reply #298 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:33:31 pm »

Wow, great goal that.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #299 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:33:46 pm »

Love a celebration in front of the away fans when it has to involve a length of the pitch run

redgriffin73 · « **Reply #300 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:38:11 pm »

Awful kit clash when they use the really high up camera, it's hurting my eyes!

And also, that Forest kit is dreadful!

Just looked at Brentford's fixtures. Eeeeeesshhhhh!

OOS · « **Reply #304 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:47:39 pm »

Brentford play some of the worst football in the league.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #305 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:49:23 pm »

Messi scores, unbearable hype coming

Hazell · « **Reply #306 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:50:16 pm »

What a crap wall.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #307 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:50:34 pm »

That was just piss poor wall building. How the fuck can it be that easy?

rob1966 · « **Reply #308 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:51:49 pm »

That wall was awful, like it was set to allow him to score.

Elzar · « **Reply #309 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:51:54 pm »

Terrible wall situation there, the round the wall option looked far too inviting

Spanish Al · « **Reply #310 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:51:57 pm »

No idea what the keeper was doing with the position of that wall.

Didn’t even have to put much of a bend on it to get round that!

Think he’d had a bet on Toney to score

shank94 · « **Reply #313 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:52:47 pm »

Turner is dreadful. Worst keeper in the league just before Onana.

That wall was disgusting lol

DangerScouse · « **Reply #314 on:** January 20, 2024, 05:53:20 pm »

Lukaku in the crowd!

Pink shorts and socks, it seems like they are either naked on the bottom or everything shirt down is animated.

Pisses me off the ref wasting time at corners for players grappling. Just give a penalty
