Lol, he did fail yes but they weren't massive ..come on, You fully understand my feelings as you've highlighted nicely some of our players ability in the passing department and I don't as you seem to believe dislike you, most of what you say makes perfectly good sense ..other subjects included. Cmon now, what was the attendance at Liverpool when Roy took over vs when he was fired? Werent they headed towards relegation? And how did you like him losing to Iceland? Dude, get out of that 74 year old bumhole. you might just get some fresh air!

It was put to Hodgson, at yesterday’s pre -match interview, that if Palace take the points from Burnley, today. 32pts will be the best tally at this point in a season that Palace have achieved in the Premier division. Maybe a little more perspective applied to our present situation wouldn’t be out of order. As against making judgements on Hodgsons worth to us on the basis of ,high level jobs he did that were not completely successful. Excellent.

Why do Spurs fans prefer Pochettino , who has never won anything, to the serial winner Mourinho? If we win today and get the highest points total at this stage since we returned to the Premier League, I’m not sure how this invalidates the view of those who who would like us to play with more adventure. Writing from a ' Pro Roy ' point of view, I have stated on many occasions on here that I am not enjoying the football on offer - I just understand and accept the reasons for it. I don't think a win today invalidates the views that you have expressed, but of course it might just validate mine and those like me.

That’s part of my point. As Jose said the other night it's no use scoring four goals if you let five in at the other end. Trying to play like that did for Pardew in the end. 4-5 v relegated Swansea!

That 5-4 result keeps getting wheeled out but Pardew has a better win percentage than Hodgson, and took the club to a cup final.

That’s part of my point. Yes I think they can. But let's face it, you don't appoint Roy for his free flowing, attacking football a la Bielsa. Clearly Steve Parish values results over entertainment.
