Crystal Palace boss Hodgson concedes job on the line

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson concedes his job is on the line after defeat at Arsenal.

Palace were hammered 5-0 on the day with Hodgson later admitting they're in a "relegation battle".

Asked if he had the support of the board, Hodgson replied: "That's a question for them, isn't it? But if you're asking me if I've ever felt a lack of support from them, then the answer is no.

"I think they've been good, but I mean now in [the] situation that you're obviously discussing, in this scenario you're envisaging, that's going to be a question for them."

He later added: "When a team isn't doing as well as it should be doing, someone needs to be held responsible, and that's the manager."
