So apart from a few childish and unfunny remarks not too much to suggest "woy" (excuse while I break a rib laughing) has done much wrong with the car crash he inherited.

I thought Roy was a decent appointment if not exciting, but every time he opens his mouth I just want to slap him and put him in a care home.

Will he just say something remotely positive and encouraging about our players rather than keep putting them down?

Imagine reading your boss saying that.

Depending on my boss and the level of respect I had for him, personally that would light a fire in my belly to prove him wrong. Maybe this is a very deliberate man management tool? Either that or if they're petulant brats they'll throw in the towel and he'll be out of a job in another few weeks.

I coughed over my cup of tea and bacon sandwich when I red this, this morning.

So England have better players than Palace - that's a revelation Roy..!!

You were bought in to pass on that and your knowledge and experience from working with those players to to our squad.

This is like me taking a job at a lesser company and saying yeah but I only delivered that because of the team around me - so why do they need me?

What Roy should be saying is - look I have worked with the best and this is what they did, this was their training regime dah de dah and if you work with me I can take you to the same level - that's what I'd be saying.

The to say ‘We expect players to be as professional as we are, to care as much, and to be as energetic and passionate about football as we are. And they aren’t.’

Is laughable - they are the very reasons why you are in post - if you believe can't instill that into the squad - why did you take the job.

The whole thing came across as "a cop out to me" - don't blame me if it doesn't work out I'm used to working with "better tools"..!!

Would that inspire me if I was a Palace player - no completely the opposite.

Come on Roy - you are better than that..!!

Hopefully it was misquoted - but either way it doesn't help..!!

ive just stick up for woy bur the comments made today by a certain roberto carlos made me laugh.

its not that me & roy didnt get on, its justt he doesnt know a lot about football. haha
