Roy Hodgson

"The ball bounced around and there were chances but we didn't take them.

"In particular Peter's miss from such close range.

"Those misses are very, very crucial.

"If he'd have scored it we might have been saying we're perfectly happy with our day's work.

"But he didn't, and once again we all go home extremely unhappy, dissatisfied and downhearted.

Oh ffs Peter you useless ****! How could you!

The master motivator, philosopher and intellectual giant strikes again

ROY Hodgson feels that Albion’s woeful home form is costing them vital support and admits The Hawthorns is a sad place without its traditional “boing boing”.

The Baggies’ head coach wants to see the famous terrace phenomenon return after a series of poor results have left the fans reluctant to celebrate on home soil.

Boos echoed around the ground at the final whistle following yesterday’s defeat and Hodgson understands the fans’ frustrations.

However he knows that victories are the only way to win back the crowd.

“Last year, from the very first moment (I arrived), we were doing the ‘boing boing’ because people were half expecting us to go down,” he said. “Now this year we never hear the ‘boing boing’ anymore.

“You just hear a fearful silence of, ‘How is it going to go?’

“You can feel the anxiety. That transmits itself to us.

“There is nothing we can do about it, except win. That’s what we’ve got to do.

“All the time we don’t win, that’s how it’s going to be, whether we like it or not.

“People are human beings . We all get down when we lose and up when we win.

“We came away from Stoke and Fulham happy and yesterday we go home sad. That’s the life we chose.”

Hodgson insists Albion should have had a penalty when Ashley Williams hand-balled Gareth McAuley’s header in the penalty area, but also admitted he was aware of the worrying bigger picture.

“I defy anybody to say that it’s not hand-ball,” he added.

“It’s very disappointing that such clear hand-balls are not seen, because I think the Swansea players had simply accepted their fate as a penalty.

“But when we did get into the lead, I thought maybe this was going to be a chance where we could get the result, but it only lasted a minute.

“Then you find yourselves suddenly two goals down and it becomes a familiar pattern.

“It’s the vicious circle that is only going to be broken by us getting a result, but we don’t seem capable of doing it.”

Hodgson's #wba have the same number of points they had this time last year. A year ago tomorrow, Roberto diMatteo was relieved of his duties

The common denominator there is Peter Odemwinge. It's all his fault

'People are human beings' is a great Hodgson quote. What a dick

What an idiot.

I still cannot believe that this moron was chosen to be our manager at one point.

He is epitome of mediocrity and constant excuse type of attitude...

Great motivator

[Exiled_red]

Hodgson really is the gift that keeps on giving

[Mostar]

He is one of the biggest stains on our history..
