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

[Kenneth]

It was a group with two better teams than England in reality.

[paulg]

Well done Roy, you're aim of sabotaging your own team is going great guns!

[EwarWoo]

I think he forgot the sarcasm tag.

[Trippendicular]

Well he has brought young players thru when Gerrard , Lampard , Terry , Ferdinand , Cole retired , surely that is a plus point. I mean what was he meant to do.

And he was unlucky in the group of death at the last world cup.

And he looks good in an England top on the sidelines

and he can talk the press into a sleep huddle

In what world was that the Group of Death at the World Cup? It was third to the Spain/Netherlands and Germany/Portugal groups.

England have as good a chance as any of the other teams of winning this, as they are all average.
Imagine the scenes if he does win it

Not a ****ing chance.

Quarter finals is the unambitious target for Roy and the FA

[paulg]

So his contract can be extended if "we're successful". Interesting to see how success is measured for Roy compared to, say Capello or Sven.

[BigChief]

Awesome Roy.

Roy on Sturridge

"I'm delighted that I showed confidence in him because he has not let me down very often."

You would run through walls for this guy wouldn't you, inspiring

[Charly]

Its wierd... all I care about is that Sturridge makes it through uninjured... comes with age maybe

[EwarWoo]

There was Euro fever in the streets, in the bars, in work, in the clubs.

Now, there is **** all. I live in a place, a little England place, where flags would adorn houses and every other car would have England flags fluttering from the windows as they drove past.

They're all over in France looking for a scrap.
