JH's missus's FAF. Good night all.

You can't speak for the lurkers so let's leave them out of it. But it seems clear to me that the majority on here feel the same way as Craig about Hodgson. Fair or not, it's been pretty obvious on here the level of dislike towards him. And it's not just this forum either, the poll results from nearly every forum were in the 90% region in favour of getting rid of him. Fair or not, it is what it is.

Fair enough, then that's how it is.

RIP The Liverpool Way. At least I have the memories.

So he either left a **** squad or he made some **** decisions in his final season..

Something has to give and I don't want to turn this into another Rafa bash thread..

I don't think anyone would argue against that, even his staunchest supporters would agree. But what has that got to do with this season?

The point is Rafa left a good squad he couldn't motivate above 7th or he left a **** squad that Roy appears to be motivating into the bottom half of the table. It can't be both despite how many times the Sky and Talksport morons of this world want it to be.

Hodgson's been stupid. Check. Hodgson's been naive. Check. Hodson's been ill prepared for the leap up to top level. Check.

But he hasn't hurt my precious little feelings by telling our players they're sh*t. We conduct polls on this all the time. I don't want him to stay as a manager if better are available. But I certainly won't be disrespectful for these reasons alone. I wasn't brought up that way.

[fah-q]

I think not..

indeed you don't, it would seem.

[banditos]

Craig, once you (and others) take their specs off you'll see like red n white and the other silent lurking majority that you don't have much. Grabiner would eat you for pre-breakfast if that's all you have. Honestly.

Ummm

95% is pretty hefty majority.

The player and the referees need to be punished. All three of them. The ref and the assistant that stood just a few yards away and did nothing.

I'm tired of referees that get away with it. Show the assistant ref the tackle and ask him why he didn't do anything? Then suspend him three four games.

Players gets injured because of **** referees. The assistant ref would learn that he must act next time if he get punished and by that way the players get the protection they need from all the referees.

If he don't get punished then he will just don't give a **** next time either and that may mean that a player get injured.

I grant you that Hodgson is not a media man and definitively lacks the sophistication of Rafa in that department.

But do the media really matter ?
Call me old fashioned, but I still happen to believe that they are a pain in the arse and totally irrelevant. This is not a cheap casting show we are talking about, but a game most of the media people don't understand in the first place.

All I am interested in is to see my team playing well and if Roy poves he can facilitate this, that'll do for me.

However, I somehow don't think we'll manage to agree on that, just felt that a discenting oppinion should be raised every now an then.

Of course the media don't matter but it does matter if one of your own (supposedly our leader) slags his players off after a humiliting defeat to Northampton to deflect blame from himself, prefers to keep pally with his mates (who manages our most hated rivals) rather than defend his own player and who feels the need to have a go at supporters voicing their disgust at the former owners.

It was an appalling challenge and I was delighted when it was that dirty cunt who gave the penalty away.

Have you watched many of our games this year? Roy has us playing a terrible brand of football, clearly honed through years of setting up average teams full of averge players to try and nick a result off bigger teams. We concede possesion in our own half and sit deep trying (and failing) to soak up pressure then hit them on the break. But we have a squad designed for a high tempo, pressing game, which is totally unsuited to Roy's route 1 crap (Eg, Only 1 aerialy dominant defender, no big target man up front, no wingers).

Added to this his playing certain players way out of position and his confidence sapping criticisms of his own squad and there are plenty of reasons why we've been so awful to date and why 95% of reds fans want him gone, regardless of his press comments.

Almost forgot. His signings are woeful too.

Thank you and have a lovely evening.

Exactly.

If ever there was a need for a "End of." it's now.

End of.

[Baracus]

Did Gerrard get a little too excited by his goals today?

[Cormack74]

Thought Shelvey was disappointing.

Has this been mentioned, I haven't read the entire thread?

It's the first time I've seen him for the full 90 and was expecting a bit more even allowing for the fact he's very young still.

35 years experience is something you can't buy. Nobody should underestimate the role of Poulsen in this victory, incredible.
