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

[Shaggy]

He's such a clown. How does he have the rep he has? He's constantly having to apologise for blunders

[Lee]

Ah but he's such a nice man.

[Buzzo]

He is talking as if he has fallen into elaborate journalistic traps.

But these are just straight questions that he doesn't have the savy to deal with because he is too dim to think about the repercussions of the comments and whether the person they are aimed at is likely to respond in the way he wants.

These are elementary management situations that he is just oblivious too.

Err. The ****ing old ****

[Phoenix07]

He looks like a **** Maggie Thatcher and has a chin like a saggy scrotum.

"I didn't say it last night – it was Wednesday afternoon if we want to be 100% correct. All I remember was that I was talking to quite a lot of people on the Tube and one guy said: 'Is Rio in the next squad?' and I think I might have said: 'I don't think so.'

"I think that is about as far as I went. But I shouldn't say that, of course. It's a mistake and I need to apologise for that. This is one of the hazards I suppose of travelling on Tube trains when you go up to London, which is the best way for me to travel, and then of course speaking to people who ask me questions rather than sitting there tight-lipped refusing to open my mouth. I've paid for it.

"I shall learn in future and maybe this will be a lesson for all the people who see me on the Tube in future: please don't be too offended if I refuse to answer any questions you ask me."

What a muppet

[McDermotX]

What I wouldn't give to meet this ******* in person on the tube, and make him sit there (if someone would offer him a seat), while I tell him exactly what I think of him.

Grant Holt: Norwich City striker hits out at England selection policy

Comments (188)
Norwich City striker Grant Holt says he has given up on being picked for England and believes other players have been denied chances by Roy Hodgson.
Holt, 31, was the Premier League's second-highest English scorer last season, but was not included in the national squad for Euro 2012.
Grant Holt's Norwich record

No code has to be inserted here.He said his omission was "ridiculous" and does not expect a future call-up.
"I gave up on that," he told BBC Radio Norfolk. "I think I'll never be in it. Roy's come in and picking his players."
Holt added: "When two friendlies came up [against Norway and Belgium] and I wasn't included it was ridiculous to be honest.
"He hasn't given anyone opportunities - people like Nathan Dyer and Danny Graham from Swansea didn't even get a look in, but that's life."

Any neutral looking at the England squad could have written it down beforehand and not been far off

Grant Holt
Hodgson's latest squad contains two uncapped players - Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster and Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross - and Holt believes his former Rochdale team-mate Rickie Lambert, who has scored four Premier League goals for Southampton this season, should have been considered.
"He's scoring the goals. He's done well. But I think any neutral looking at that list could have written it down beforehand and not been far off," said Holt.
"Unless Rickie Lambert scores 25 goals or bags 10 in the next two months I don't think he'll get close."
Holt has been in and out of the Canaries line-up this season, scoring just the one goal - the same number he had at this time in 2011-12.
And, after a summer of speculation over his future, the forward reacted sarcastically to questions about his commitment to the club.
"I've given up this year. I've decided to bin it off," he said. "I've signed my three-year deal and I thought I'd leave it this year, sit back, have a few cans and a few cigarettes and chill with the kids.
"It's a ridiculous question. No I haven't [lost my hunger]."

I done a table

[Muddled]

Has Lampard even featured much this season?
Carroll has only just returned from injury? Carrick? Milner?

Usual ****e, despite his words to the contrary.

[Exiled_red]

I've only just seen the squad because I don't give a **** about England, but that squad is awful.

[Roboklopp]

I notice how the Mirror spin his apology into him being a great man. FFS.

[Phoenix07]

A bit too creepy for my liking.

[Neil Young]

I enjoyed hearing Alan Green ridicule Hodgson during yesterday's 5Live commentary. After attacking him for Tubegate, he then said he was looking forward to hearing Hodgson describe San Marino as "formidable opponents".
