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

[Kenneth]

Wonder how that's going to impact my google marketing profile.

It's quite staggering to think that during Capello's reign, he won 28 games, drew 8 and lost 6. I wish we'd have had that season!

I work in birmingham, and all you get on some stations is baggies fans saying how great he is and if you know your football you know is going to be succesful, ****in idiots. I think i'm right in thinking that he has been sacked by all the bigger clubs he has managed. Bodgson is a tool, cant wait for him to fail.

[Fredo]

Got embroiled in a war of words with a Fulham fan on Facebook. He thinks we are bitter. They've been plastering good luck messages to Roy on their statuses.

His CV again.

If anyone bothers to read his CV then they'll see that he's a ****ing fraud.

And a four year contract?! He'll snuff it before he sees that contract out. Still, it'd save giving him a payoff I suppose.

To be fair I've heard it's very good - the content might not be great but it's very well formatted and printed on good quality paper

Can you imagine his covering letter? It'd be 36 pages long.

Just logged onto the BBC website to see the Headline

"Roy Hodgson not surprised to be given England manager's job"

What an arrogant ****tard, yes he's managed for 35+ years but his grand acheivements in that time seem to be winning a few trophies in Skandanavia, the LMA trophy and taking Liverpool to their lowest points total at the turn of a year since the 50's.

Just to reiterate, I believe the man to be an arrogant ****tard

[Alex]

Its started already

Although, I was a bit taken aback by the hard time the media gave him during his first press conference. You would have thought they would atleast try not to rip him apart so early on.

One of his first questions was about Terry/Rio.

Hodgson has no doubt won a few people over with the press conference yesterday, I thought he came across diplomatically on the whole (although if I was Harry Redknapp I think I'd want to punch the arrogant **** in the face, what with all that nonsense avbout becoming unwitting rivals and he hopes the fact that he trumped him for the job wont ruin their friendship). But I would draw the parallels with when he took over from Rafa - I was sceptical initially but was willing to give him a chance and I was impressed with his initial press conferences and public comments as he was saying the right things. However when results were not going his way and he was feeling the weight of pressure and expectation, he went on the ultra-defensive and his verbal diarrhoea started digging him in deeper. I would expect the same now. Although I'll be curious to see if the media cut him a bit of slack when he inevitably flops at the Euros because of the circumstances of taking over rather late from Capello, and with Rooney being suspended etc.

Has anyone see the front page of that rag? Disgraceful. Mind you, I don't know that I expected better.

Incredibly low even for them

Seen a load of other journo's on twitter saying its pathetic

[Vermilion]

Heard something about that.

Just let them all stew in the ****ty pot that is Engerland...the FA, and the ****ty english tabloids.

He's a cunt, and anyone who tries to defend him is likely to be a cunt too.

Is this the "Woy's Euwo dream" or something? It's incredible how that rag is the biggest selling paper in the country. Sad.

The bit in bold wound me up as well, what the hell was this deluded old fool on about? Embarassing and cringeworthy comments about him and Harry.

[Alex]

Its one thing to have a laugh and joke about it here. But doing that is tasteless in the extreme.
