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

[Alex]

Dont think it does too be honest. Rio and SAF look like lairs, and if anything England fans will turn on Rio for taking a job as a pundit instead.

****house thing to do, but it is hilarious watching Ferguson riding roughshod over the FA.

[Lee]

Deary me. A complete joke.

Ferguson, Ferdinand and Hodgson. What a fine collection of clowns.

[Chazza]

Doesn't change

Daniel Taylor @DTguardian
Hodgson arguing San Marino 'not an easy game to win.' Not sure about that. San Marino's record: 115 games, 1 win (2004), 3 draws, 111 losses

[Alex]

Just when I turn a corner on him he goes and says **** like this.

[Frenchie]

He is the biggest con merchant going..old fraud...

[Leyton388]

I'm sure the unexpected england win will be uptopia.

[Lee]

I hate the old ******* as much as you lot do, but what do you expect him to say? He's hardly going to come out and say "We're aiming to stick ten past them because they're completely ****ing ****."

Urgh, think I've just stood up for him.

[Exiled_red]

As Ferdinand has pulled out of the squad but isn't actually injured will he be banned from playing in Man Utds next game? Isn't there some rule about this? (Although I don't remember it ever being enforced)

[Gibbo]

Maybe just say we are looking to win.

It is clearly an easy game to win.

I hope England lose, it would be hysterical.

We are confident of getting a result?

With all due respect to the opposition we should win this game.

'insert it should be an easy victory cliche here'

Fair point.

They're 80/1 to turn us over. I'd love that to happen.

[Chazza]

Also they are the lowest joint lowest ranked team in the world with Bhutan and the Turks and Caicos Islands.

[Lee]

So they're not all that then?!

I knew they were bad but I hadn't realised they were as low as that.

And remember, when Capello was in charge they were as high as fourth in the world.
