The Chelsea game could get very ugly if someone new has not been brought in. I suspect Hodgson will do himself no favours with his pre-game presser and team selection. He's as stubborn as a mule and just as uncreative

Whoever sells "Hopeless Hodgson" and "Pathetic Parish" placards will make a killing

After yesterday's debacle I must admit that I thought it was likely that Parish would tell Roy to go. However, I read somewhere after the Arsenal thrashing that Parish met Roy to say things had to improve and I think I recall a reference to the next three games being critical, namely Sheff Utd, Brighton and Chelsea. None of us knows what was agreed in that conversation but I suspect that Parish told Roy he wanted to see at least 4 points from those three games. The win against Sheff Utd bought Roy some reprieve, even if our play was far from satisfactory. So the fact that nothing has been announced yet, leads me to believe that Parish is waiting to see what happens in the Chelsea match. A draw or better and I imagine he stays, whereas a loss and particularly if it is another poor performance and Roy goes.

Has anyone got to the bottom of why we sacked Viera?

He had us playing possession-based, pressing, attacking football for all of half-a-season, then some things happen an that all goes to sh*te? Was it all because Wilf was set to go and Gallagher was only on loan? I never knew what the post mortem was?!

If Roy is relieved of duties, who have we got to come in - needing an immediate impact? I would suggest our trigger happy approach with managers has many prospects quite wary or only planning on coming to SE25 for a couple of seasons and enjoy the severance.

We can't compete with Top 6. Top 10 finish is good result for us. But above all else a handful of stylish wins a season is what I would mandate as a benchmark. Who will take up the challenge?

Goodbye Uncle Woy

Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life.

If we get relegated there can be no complaints. We actually deserve to be relegated. Shambolic mess from top to bottom.

Indeed TL.

Can we blame Roy for everything? At the very least I think it’s unfair to do so.
Do I think Roy has contributed to the issues we have? Most certainly but not all of them.
Do I think Roy is the solution? No, no I do not.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

And therein lies the problem. Hodgson doesn't know how to win games without them. He doesn't know how best to use the resources at his disposal. Hence, the clamour for him to be relieved of his duties.
