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

[Neil Young]

What I haven't heard or read in any of the enthusiastic reports of Hodgson's tactical masterclass that resulted in plucky little England getting a heroic draw against the mighty France is that the teams are in the same group because France are lower ranked than England. Capello's record saw England elevated to the top seeding - France should be the ones celebrating a draw.

And Phil McNulty:

Never accuse Hodgson of over-inflating expectations. Asked about new Premier Lge TV deal, he said he'll think about it "when we're out"

I just saw this.

He's ****ing amazing. Now it doesn't affect me I'm starting to genuinely love him. Its like a massive prank that has gone on for too long.

[Daniel 7]

Its the way he smugly sticks his hands in his pockets at the end, its like a brilliantly observed observational comic character creation.

He's an actor really, he's just amazing in the part

It is like watching clips warning you to look out for some signs of the early onset of senile dementia

[Leyton388]

He should be sacked for that comment alone

[Ben_Itez]

****ing LOL.

Just got back from holiday and this is the first time ive logged on here in 10 days or so......

LMFAO!!!!!

From 38% possession against France anyone think we can make it up to the magical 45% tonight?

[RedAndWhite]

Eamon Dunphy just said that the Irish team have had several chances to have Hodgson as manager over the years. When asked if the FAI should have picked him he said "No - it would have been our biggest mistake"

[McDermotX]

Even after last nights hammering, it was still the right call.

[G]

Incidently is Dunphy pissed?

Giggling like a school girl at his own **** jokes.

[G]

He's going to do very well with England isn't he. Totally fluke a good tourny.

And the papers will delight in bashing us over the head about not giving him time again.

****s

[Red_Polo]

Basically he's not going to try to make them do things they can't. They'll do alright, no more or less.
