I can understand some of the frustrations aimed at Roy but how in gods name can anyone think we will be better without him.

• Due to injuries, We have played the majority of this season with the same back 4. Wan Bisaka has been brought in by Roy and is now one of the best full backs in the divison. Our defence is one of the best organised in the division (the stats prove it)

• Sorloth was not bought by Roy, Awey was not bought by Roy. Managers do not scout and buy players.(times have changed) We have also played all of this season with no recognised striker, Hence Zaha and Townsensd up top.

• Max Meyer - we would all love to see him play more but he has looked out of his depth in a lot of games and I can only see him being a regular player when Benteke returns up top.

• Subsitutions, I agree on the frustration around this as is changes and timings are woeful, but Id I can only put that down to him not having faith in anyone on the bench. Thaf will soon change when we have more options.

Its boils my blood when people say we should swap Roy for the likes of David Wagner or Sean Dyche. Get a bloody grip folks and be very thankful for what we have. I pray that Roy will be here for a few years yet. If any other man took over when Roy did, we would br releagted.

You are ....wasting your time lol

!st of all, i never said winning a world cup was easy. i said its about winning around 6 games or so, a couple of knock out games in your group, then quarter final,semi final , final.
Having said that, winning tournaments is not the be all and end all in international football,though it seems to be so in your case.
Neither do i love stats, i only used them because of your claim that Hodgson was the worst manager to manage England,
You also obviously looked up the the wrong statisticians, try Wikipedia.
However, you were right about Ramsey V Hodgson.
Ramsey?s win ratio was 61.1%, Hodgson was a pathetic 58.9%, making Ramsey the 2nd best behind Coppello and Hodgson 4th best behind Hoddle on 60.1%.
He was also 4th best in the overall records behind Coppello, Ramsey 73'01% and Erricson 72.39% Hodgson had 72,32% missing 3rd place by .07%.
Not too bad for the one you call the worst England manager ever, considering the players he had to work with compared to the above.
I haven't included Southgate as he is still new at the job and might be the best by the time he finished, aso not included Alardyce as he only had one game.
This makes Hodgson the 4th best out of 17 managers.

Thing is that apart from the two stints that Kember had in charge we've never had a manager who is so much one of our own. Much as I like Kember and he did very well in both of those stints, he isn't a patch on Roy Hodgson.

Like a lot of other Palace supporters I used to know Kember quite well and he's Palace to the core. Local bloke, Palace man and boy, better play than Roy so he didn't need to reinvent himself as a coach like Roy did.

Of course they're very old friends. I believe they grew up on the same street and their fathers even worked on the same bus as driver and conductor. Can you get better working class credentials than that? Probably not.

When you consider what Hodgson has achieved in his long career, he's quite easily the most experienced and talented manager we've ever had. OK so Very Terribles also managed Barca and England but Terribles was a crook. Roy by comparison is a gent.

So I'll take the losses and the frustration with his substitutions and all of the other negative stuff because I know that I'm unlikely to ever see another Croydoner of his calibre in the Selhurst dugout.

I like the fact that he got on his bike and learnt his trade in Europe. Pulled himself up by his own boot straps etc etc. I like the fact that he's well spoken, respectable, a regular bloke who speaks loads of languages and reads proper books.

I like Roy Hodgson. He's one of us.
