  • Vieira sacked from the Palace job. Seems harsh to me, he'd done a good job in making a dull team under Hodgson more adventurous. The board, which is going through a power struggle, haven't backed him in the transfer market so he's had to make do with a fairly lightweight squad.

  • Very harsh. I wouldn't expect a team like this Palace to be consistently as good as they were last year and could have seen them having another good run in the next season the way we saw Vieira had them play.

    Makes Sunday's game vs the arse interesting though, one team that should want to prove itself after costing the manager his job and another needing to come back from a mid-week setback that involved extra times and pens and two injuries...

  • If I owned Palace, any season without relegation trauma would be the limit of realisable success.

  • Looked a good young manager for a while, but found it very hard hard to arrest a slump which has seen them winless this year. They're defintely heading for the relegation scrap on current form.
