The Hodgson IN thread

[John McGovern]

Woohoo.

 

[Fabio]

Me too L

It'd make the euros even better

‎"We were in dreamland when we got that corner early doors. Unfortunately for us they went up the other end and banged in three goals without reply. If you take those three goals out of the equation I think any fair minded observer would have said we were the equal of them and deserved the goalless draw. But football's a cruel game, one moment you're winning a corner and then 83 minutes later you've lost 3-0. We can only keep doing what we've been doing and hope that eventually what we're doing works out. What is losing these days anyway? I'm not sure I know myself, but the fact is we lost. But on another day we could've quite easily not lost and that's what we've got to be focused on"

I nicked this off Facebook. I've read four times now & it still astounds me.

Fucking useless twat, the FA & he deserve each other.

 

[HC]

LOL.

That's never real

 

[Oncy]

Levy has been playing hardball and the FA is scared stiff of how much it will cost to get Redknapp. It was decided as a consequence to avoid being publicly identified as only wanting Redknapp, so another candidate had to be contacted to give the FA even the slightest bargaining chip with Spurs.

Is this true Mac?

My brain hurts after reading that.

 

[refugee]

this is ridiculous. Its clear a young (ish) manager needs to be brought in & this tourney used to blogs the next generation of players only, with all eyes on the next world cup.

I don't think age should be an issue in international management, I think success should be the only criteria.

I'm also not sure about blooding the next generation either, international football should be about winning trophies and nothing else. The best players for doing that should be picked, and ideally the top professional leagues should blood the players for you. The standard in the premiership is actually arguably better than international matches anyway so the player shouldn't really need to be "blooded". If the prem teams aren't bringing though young players then I think that is a problem that needs to be solved at a domestic level rather than an international level.

In saying all that, Roy is a cunt.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

i reckon he'll be alright, seems to work quite well with shite english players, and thats all we've got

Cracking post.

This is very true 🙂

 

[Modo]

Good news for Carroll.

 

[Gary25]

Good news for Carroll.

How come?

 

[Modo]

I reckon he likes the "big man upfront" tactic. I recall us being linked with C.Cole when he was around.

Ah right. I reckon Crouch might be ahead of him in the pecking order though - if Hodgson goes for a target man up front.

Crouch has had a very good season in fairness.

Considering Rooney's suspension I reckon they'll bring 5 strikers.

Rooney, Welbeck, Crouch, ? and ??.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

That just goes to show how shit England are if they are relying on those three as their main strike force.

Sturridge probably? Defoe? Zamora?(LOL) Carlton Cole?(ROFL)

 

[Modo]

Haha, true. Rooney is alright though. I think England can field a top class starting XI.
Getting them to play is a different issue.

Btw, what happened to your "Dumbledors England's shit" army?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

"So gents, what do you think about the English FA appointing Roy 'Face Rubber' Hodgson as the new national team manager?"

 

[Modo]

Sturridge probably? Defoe? Zamora?(LOL) Carlton Cole?(ROFL)

Yeah. Mellberg, Mexes and the rest will be laughing.

 

[Modo]

------------------Hart

Johnson Smalling Terry Cole
---------Jones----Parker
Walcott----Gerrard------Young
---------------Rooney

To bad Wilshire is fucked.
I think that team would make it out of the group. However the Spaniards and the Germans would rape any team Europe currently.

 

[localny]

I'm not a massive england team fan, but I honestly wouldn't wish Roy on any team wanting to win something, never mind one with astronomically high expectations like england. It really would be a disaster, everyone from Neuchetel to Malmo knows this

 

[irishred]

I would change that whole right hand side Modo...

------------------Hart

Walker Cahill Terry Cole
---------Scholes----Parker
Oxlade----Gerrard------Young
---------------Rooney

 

[Modo]

Yeah thats a good line up as well. Dunno if Scholes will play though.
Walker instead of Johnson?
A little bias please.

 

[Oncy]

Geoff Shreeves - 'So Harry you do know that you are NOT being interviewed for the England job?'

 

[irishred]

Possibly Martin Kelly instead of Walker then. 😉

 

[Ryan]

He’s getting the gig for 3 reasons:

- 1- He won’t rock the boat as much as Redknapp would. Redknapp, despite the not-guilty verdict, is a dodgy cockney cunt and some fucking story about him selling England caps down some back alley for a fiver would inevitably crop up. Hodgson is the most boring cunt imaginable so he fits the FA quota perfectly.
- 2 - Hodgson’s contract with WBA runs out this summer so he’s free. It’d cost the FA 8M to get Redknapp out of his Spurs one.
- 3 - Hodgson will happily take on that bumbling cunt Stuart Pearce at the FA’s behest. Redknapp would have taken one look at the mongaloid in his tracksuit bottoms and told him to get te fuck.

As a proud anti-Englishman, this whole thing is absolutely hilarious.

 

[peterhague]

Man, this is going to be so fucking funny. The same media who defended him at every opportunity from Rafa's disastrous legacy are going to absolutely liquefy him. He looked like a hunted man after a couple of months in the LFC job; this is going to fucking destroy the old twat.

No excuses about Kenny or Rafa now. He's fucked. Of course, we're fucked as well, but it's a sacrifice I'm happy to make.

 

[Hansern]

The FA are loaded arent they? 8 mill to get Redknapp instead of Hodgson is well worth it.

If they give it to Roy its just a joke.
And they better hope England are drawn as a home team in the Euros......

 

[doctor_mac]

I think Ryan is bang on about this.
