Next up in the league, Palace have games against Manchester City and Manchester United away, and Chelsea at home. It could be a long season for the club, and it already seems like Hodgson will have to draw on his vast experience as a manager to prevent them dropping into the Championship.
The former Liverpool and Inter Milan boss has been a manager for over 40 years, and despite possessing a very credible record in the dugout, his final game as England coach will never be forgotten.
Hodgson cut a desperate figure on the sideline as his team suffered a meltdown against Iceland in the last-16 of Euro 2016. After taking an early lead, England conceded two goals and then froze, struggling to make basic passes as the pressure appeared to get to every player in a white shirt. Hodgson resigned following the final whistle and was forced by the FA to attend an embarrassing press conference the next day.
Hodgson would undoubtedly rather forget the whole episode, so it's just as well he didn't hear Sky Sports commentator Alan Parry on Saturday afternoon.
Parry made a cheeky joke about Hodgson and Iceland, saying:
"There's a supermarket at the corner of Selhurst Park, and Roy Hodgson will be glad it's not Iceland."We reckon the commentator had been waiting all week to use that gag. https://twitter.com/robbutler1984/status/909034048579887105 https://twitter.com/haddz_/status/909033831482748928 https://twitter.com/GabeThornes/status/909033747479220224 https://twitter.com/petemcgowran1/status/909034597681385474 https://twitter.com/Higgins_Adam95/status/909035863857823744 https://twitter.com/GabeThornes/status/909033747479220224 https://twitter.com/Shit_PunditsSay/status/909034407939510273 https://twitter.com/Migtavius/status/909035260259786752
