Get well soon, Roy Hodgson

Roy Hodgson is a decent man and has devoted his life to football which he clearly loves.  I hope that he soon recovers in hospital.

The Glaziers were ready to go with an announcement of his replacement, but had to cancel their press conference.

There have been banners out at recent Palace games calling for him to be sacked, although the main target seems to have been the chairman (who did save them from oblivion).

Still I suppose if you are a Mr Pooter who is an ultra for a few hours a week just staying in the Premier League is not good enough.

I must admit there was some perverse pleasure in watching the EFL highlights and seeing Spanners leaving the Toolbox early after their 0-4 defeat by Ipswich.

But then the Norwich manager had to ask a booing section of fans to stay away.   The Canaries are just outside the play off places on goal difference.

I suppose negativity and excessive expectations in football should not surprise me, it has certainly got worse over the years.

I think that Palace and Millwall will scrape enough points to avoid relegation.   They always do.  And Charlton can do the same.
