No I dont think we can blame him

My pals had a tenner on 5-0 palace 200/1.
Tbh I told him as it was a free bet, although hes just had a fiver on a 40-1 winner at ascot so clearly likes a long shot c'mon palace, could be a few brekkys on this (when they open).

No idea about the score, but I predict Hodgson will become the first manager to have 8 unused subs at the end of a game

I'm feeling a bit nervous about this one and think it's a difficult one to call.

The break may have upset sides on a good run, and benefited teams that were struggling.

I am a natural worrier and won't fully relax until we are mathematically safe, although a win this evening would go a long way to helping me sleep soundly tonight - we'd be 15pts clear of Bournemouth, 16pts over Villa and 21 on Norwich.

And don't tell me I am worrying about nothing as it wont make a jot of difference.

Fingers crossed, 2-1 to Palace.
