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

[Chris]

Is this "Pleased we gave the fans something to cheer about" quote from tonight legit? Not even he'd say that surely.

[Kenneth]

Can't be

[Boogs]

I can confirm that I witnessed those words leave his mouth live on the telebox.

Lowering expectations of a nation. Mission accomplished well done hogger

[Chris]

Yep it is legit. And apparently "outplayed them in midfield" too. Hahahahahaha oh man, dear oh dear.

It borders on his comments about the Derby defeat. A ****ing disgraceful comment from Hodgson.

[McDermotX]

There's Prandelli resigning........has it even entered Roy's head ?

Roy Hodgson on a memorable nil, nil draw with Costa Rica:

‘We can take a lot of positives.'

‘Apart from first the ten to 12 minutes, we dominated totally. We didn’t take our goal chances – if we did we would have comfortably won.

‘We created the chances and that’s important.

‘I thought we were really unlucky not to win this game.

‘I thought the whole back four was absolutely excellent. We restricted the team to almost no chances.

‘In midfield we dominated and outplayed them.’

Like Dom said - the guy is a genius. He's making £3.5m / annum doing this, we can mock all we like. I got to the point where I absolutely ****ing hated him when he was our manager, I'm not arsed now that he's not. It's incredible how someone can earn so much money by being a clueless buffoon and getting away with it.

[Kinell]

Might write to the FA and introduce them to to benchmarks and KPIs.

It makes it seem even worse when you think of the way Bobby Robson was mauled by the press pre Italia '90.

The only manager paid more than him at the WC was Capello, who didn't look to clever either after his team was knocked out by a green laser. At least Fabio's excuse was original.

The FA suck, what a corrupt useless bunch of Gym towels. No other business would tolerate such failure unless it was originally caused by them.

"Of course, if you know your football, losing to the Swiss 4-0 is a vewy vewy wespectable wesult when you consider how well they did at the World Cup".

I can hear it now...

We're playing for Hodgson {Ho-dger-son}
Awwivederci its four four two

[RichC]

Some England supporters at the World Cup quarter-final between Germany and France painted their faces with the German flag and held up a banner intended for England manager Roy Hodgson that read: "Look what you've done to us Roy". Daily Mail

[TheElephantMan]

Hasn't he resigned yet?
