    I think if Hodgson picks his squad right he could do as well as anyone with the current set of England players - his limited approach seems a reasonable one for the players we have. The question for me is can he make players buy into the collective idea. We were never going to be able to play/win like Spain, so perhaps we can do it like Greece.


    Having a long term plan and appointing Roy 'young players get you the sack' Hodgson doesn't seem like a consistent approach, but this is the FA we're talking about.

    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

        I really hope they all ****ing beat each other up on the pitch and start ****ing riots. I want it to be the most embarrassing tournament ever, like France's 2002 World Cup campaign. That's how ****ing **** I want it to be. Cundgson and Cunts, the new series on ITV, for all the **** you need in life! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

        I've been drinking and I'm going to make it count!!!

                  Tragedy of this may be that any team or manager ,even WoHo,can string half a dozen wins together. It wouldn't surprised me in the slightest if he/England bluffed their way to the semis or further this Summer and the prick comes home a national hero.

                    Hold on boys, we've got it all wrong.

                      His grin after his interview with the FA was a picture to behold. What an honest grin.
                      Are we winning?

                            Looking forward to the first selection, formation and tactics.

                            Of course there's a chance he'll come good. But he hasn't yet managed it after 37 years in ****ing management so I reckon we are safe.

                              First part of the article:

                              Roy Hodgson: My part in his rise to England manager

                              Out of Africa: Roy Hodgson, front row centre, in 1973

                              ROY HODGSON’S Wikipedia entry claims: “Hodgson started his managerial career in 1976 at the Swedish top division side Halmstad.”

                              No doubt everyone will be picking that up and using it tomorrow as the world debates the pros and cons of the 64-year-old West Brom boss being made England manager ahead of the people's choice, Harry Redknapp.

                              And they’d be wrong.

                              I can exclusively reveal Woy (as he is known, for obvious reasons to anyone who has heard him talk) actually started his coaching career in Pretoria, South Africa. I should know. I was one of his earliest products in 1974.

                              Hodgson arrived a year earlier at my local club in what was then the whites-only National Football League. Berea Park were a very average team in a league dominated at the time by foreign players unwelcome in FIFA-sanctioned countries.

                              Though Roy was billed as a Crystal Palace star, he had actually been released by the club and came to Berea as a fairly ordinary player from non-League Ashton Town after stints at Gravesend and Maidstone United, then the best non-League side in England.

                              Still, with Bobby Houghton and Colin Toal, he was one of three cut-price English footballers who arrived in Pretoria despite the Apartheid Sports Boycott in 1973. Apart from playing football for Berea professionally, Roy also tried his hand as a physical education teacher at the local Hillview High School.
