Ian Holloway.....................

Surely it's more of an advantage for us to play them without them having a manager?

Holloway chickened out before facing us.

Same thing for Donny Rovers, as has happened prior to Friday's game at Boro.

If the players played badly to get rid of a manager, then they turn it on to show they didn't need him. Hopefully, this is not the situation at Boro.

If we dont win by at least 9 then Wenger has to follow Holloway

A win is a win is a win. Doesn't matter by how much. I will take a 1-0 scored by Mertesackers backside from a corner that was wrongly awarded.

"Surely it's more of an advantage for us to play them without them having a manager?"

Not when that manager was Ian Holloway - seems like a nice bloke and gives a crackiong intervoew, but would appear to be a pretty poor manager to be fair.

Holloway's a championship manager. He does well to get his sides promoted and get them to rise for the occasion, but when it comes to maintaining top league status, he simply doesn't spend the money that he's allocated properly on the right players and although he is trying to play purist football, sometimes a different approach is needed. I can't think of a single player Palace have that would get into the bottom half of the Premier League sides.

If they carry on playing the same way with the players they've got, then this slump will continue.

They don't have good enough options up front, their midfield is non-existent so you can walk right through it (hence why I expect us to have a field day there) and although they try to press, they can't maintain it which leaves gaps for the opposition to exploit. Lets not even go into their appalling defence...
