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

[Roboklopp]

It really is a sick joke.

[RichC]

Arise sir Roy will be uttered in a couple of years for outstanding service to football

[Doc_Piptorious]

Still not as deluded as when Bodge himself said that his track record at clubs was up there
with that of Ferguson.

Hodgson for England!!!!

I think he's a massive bellend but he's right that we lack leadership. We don't have good players with experience and leadership.

That said, no reason to put a ****ing downer on things and declare defeat so early. Just go out and enjoy your football.

[RedAndWhite]

He's a massive cunt who's voice is like finger nails on a chalkboard to me. He's a completely fwaud and the sooner he's sacked the better.

Bellend!

As an Irishman I can only disagree completely with this. May his reign be long.

Look at this cunt! ****ing hell, it's 7 months away and he's already making excuses for failure and why it will be the players fault not his if they do. Massive ****house. This tournament is actually a massive chance for an outsider, most of the recent ones have seen an obvious winner before they've started but no one really looks particularly good right now.

England manager Roy Hodgson fears "inexperience or a lack of quality" may be his side's undoing at Euro 2016.

Hodgson's team qualified for the finals in France with a 100% record and beat the hosts 2-0 at Wembley on Tuesday.

That side contained six players aged under 23 and Hodgson wonders if their youth will be an issue.

"You don't turn a guy who has played six or seven Premier League games and once for England into a Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard," he said.

"I do believe we will have the organisation, the discipline and the desire.

"If we fail it might just be because some of the teams that beat us have got that player or two who can turn a game."
Hodgson has been in charge of England since May 2012 and his team have only lost once in 16 matches since coming bottom of their group at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

He is pleased with the side's improvement, but says the young players are still learning at international level.

"I believe in the players and, given the opportunities, can become a good team but we are young, we are inexperienced - nothing is going to change that," added Hodgson.

"When Paul Pogba came on for France there was a definite acceleration in the quality they showed - we have got to get players up to that level of quality.

"It's still six or seven months away and I'm optimistic, positive and hopeful. This group of players won't let anyone down in terms of their attitude and desire.

"If they do fail it might just be because of inexperience or a lack of quality."

no surprise at him or the English FA

Has to be the most ridiculous senior call-up of all time. Utterly mad.

Let's not forget who the manager is

[Exiled_red]

Jesse Lingard called up to the England Squad

WTF?

[Rich]

Started 2 Premier League games in his career. One of them he was off after 23 minutes. The other one must have been some performance!

Has to be the most ridiculous senior call-up of all time. Utterly mad.

[Leyton388]

I ****ing hate the England national team and their owl faced cunt of a manager.

[Fredo]

I thought he was Dutch.
