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

[DeanoUK]

People are starting to catch on - albeit woefully slowly:

This morning on TS they had suddenly realized that the Bodge's specialist subject is lowering expectations.

Been saying this for yonks; that's exactly what he did as soon as he came in as England manager (and LFC before it), the difference being that we [LFC fans] didn't put up for it - the English press have, hook line and sinker. A few of them are slowly realising it, but it's hardly the press crucification others have had.

Lowering expectations again, what a ****ing loser he is

"Hodgson said: "We have to play well and do well here. If the result costs us we have to make sure we learn from losing the battle and win the war.

"Winning this game does not make a great team in 2016. Neither does losing it make us a poor team in 2016."

That is so eye dryingly inanane that it would almost pass unnoticed in uncertain sections of this website.

IF Hodgson is still in charge we won't qualify for Euro 2016. We'll just have to play 4 friendlies v Portugal

Same old ****e coming from ingerland faithful.

"this is a team in transition"

They've been in transition since 1966 and are just ****e.

[Gibbo]

0-0 all over this.

[RichC]

Wanting your own national team to lose is wrong isn't it ?

0-0 all over this.

Cue wild celebrations and back patting at the FA for supporting Bodge

[Alex]

Yeah, a bit. I know why you'd want it. But above all in refuse to let this bloke ruin another team of mine.

The downside of being back in the champions league will be having to suffer Tyldesley and Towsend

When you've no say in the utter moron they've allowed to run the team

And the likes of Paddy Barclay using Rodgers as an example saying he'd do no better with these players doesn't help; backing of the press goes a long way regardless of the quit obvious truth

It's going to be painful listening to tweedle dumb and dumber
