That's Roy Hodgson CBE to you

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

He deserves a medal for taking watford down. Nasty little club

A true Gent. respect.

I was inspired to start my first thread on here in 2020 when the vitriol being spouted about Roy seemed to reach a crescendo.

Along with most others I disliked the football we were playing, but we never seemed in real danger of relegation and Roy was almost certain to leave us at the end of the season. It seemed harsh for so many to turn against him, especially as he was a boyhood Palace supporter.

He kept us up with a motley crew and little chance of bringing in new blood. But, of course PV has been a breath of fresh air and we can all be delighted at the changes we've seen this year.

Like many others, I was surprised he took the Watford job, but he has now publicly said he's had enough. A football man through and through and, in management terms, a safe pair of hands, but never exciting.

He deserved his CBE for services to football and it's right that he gets a respectful Selhurst send off, but I'm very pleased he's no longer our manager. Like I wrote earlier, I think he'll be secretly pleased if we thrash Watford on Saturday.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Not sure where you are coming from Mort. Unless Watford win their last 4 games they are down as Burnley and Leeds already have 34 points and Watford can only just reach this target with 4 wins but have a worse goal difference. Leeds are effectively the only team that can keep Watford up.

They might show a bit of heart against us given their apparent dislike but a draw puts them down and I am sure we are capable of at least that.

Brondby. Roy Hodgson may or may not have managed there as the case may be. Looking at Wikipedia would be cheating.
