Hodgson - I dont know why I'm here; smint?

[Reece]

Oh I agree that he's well past it.

I'm not a fan of Ferdinand at all, but I think it's a bit cunty of Hodgson to make such an announcement in that way.

Got quite angry this morning hearing Brazil and Irani referring to him as "a lovely guy".

[Alex]

Yeah, it was a bit **** that he did it like that. But I guess he is stupid enough not to understand that something like that would be on Twitter within seconds.

Irani is a right ****in muppet. I quite like Brazil but I see no point in Irani at all.

I actually find Brazil has become increasingly bigoted, to the point of casual racism sometimes (topical!).

I heard that Roy was looking for the role of the next Dr Who when his time in management is over. Apparently he feels he can restore the show to it's halcyon times and intends to blend the best of Patrick Troughton and John Pertwee.

FOR **** SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Just been having a casual chat with an Oldham fan about footy here in the office... talk got round to England playing next week & I mentioned I really couldnt give a **** about them anymore

His response was why? Hodgson is the man to take us forward with his proven record of success - at which point I started laughing - I asked him 'what success? WTF has he ever done?'

'Oh the Swedes & The Finns love him - he was knighted recently you know' - again I asked WTF has he ever done?

'He got Fulham to a UEFA Cup final'.... 'did they win?' - 'No but he got them there'

Whay cant people see him for what he is??

To hell with Keyser Soze - this **** has pulled the biggest trick in history by convincing people he's a good manager

Really making my blood boil

**** OFF ROY!!!!

[Shaggy]

Have that conversation all the time.

Ask him if he thought McClaren was "the man". He got Boro to the final of that tournament too. AND he's won the Dutch league, which far exceeds anything Hodgson has done.

Ask him stuff to stitch him up. Lesson learnt.

Hodgson on @rioferdy5: "I might have admitted, foolishly I guess, & I only have myself to blame, that I wasn't going to choose him"
