So who will replace David Moyes as manager of Everton after his appointment as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at Manchester United? Wigan's Robert Martinez heads the betting. Check out the latest odds

The Eagles boss was unhappy with his side's first-half display as they were held to a 2-2 draw by his old club Blackpool at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Palace are now three points behind leaders Cardiff after they were pegged back by a late goal from Nouha Dicko.

But it was the opening 45 minutes which left Holloway scratching his head.

"It's really disappointing because we looked a shadow of how we've played recently," said Holloway.

"We almost wasted the first 45 minutes. The second half was much more like us."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.
