Is it just me?

[RobbieOR]

Or is everyone else surprised that Hodgson hasnt been on the tele giving his side of events about his sacking? I thought we would have seen him on Goals On Sunday or Football Focus one of the weekends. I know its only been 2 weeks, but i expected him to at least say something.

[Redzion]

JWH is bound to have some legal document forbidding such things.Plus are you going to belive a man thats signed PFK for 5mill?

[PaulMcC]

Maybe even he knows he was completely shit.

 

Even he can't be so arrogant to think anything else.

As much as he failed here, I think he has a bit of class about him and realised in the end it just wasn't working out.

 

Plus there is no need for him to give his side.

[Strontium]

Maybe they just shoved him into a broom cupboard and he's so senile he thinks he still is the manager. Last seen trying to coach the attacking instincts out of a Vileda supermop.

[Guest ShoePiss]

I was thinking the very same thing but i don't think he ever needed to say anything when he has an army of media mongs to do his work.

[WaltonRed]

He'll of signed a gagging order probably.

 

He'll end up on Super Sunday as a pundit though and him and Keys will have a good old laugh and it'll be the fans who didnt get him from the off who'll be blamed

[Guest TK-421]

It didn't happen it was all a bad d: ream.

[dennis tooth]

Sure it'll happen soon, he'll feel the need to pull the PR card to get a new job.

[Trumo]

It's not like him to go on the attack.

[Byrnie]

Indeed it isn't.

 

[JagSquared]

It's not like him to go on the attack.

 

Brilliant.

[WaltonRed]

Not many managers do a pure sit down interview after they've been sacked so I dont know what you were expecting Rob.

[Arl arse]

Woy is on holiday, not back till next monday.

[RobbieOR]

I expected him to have a pop at the fans. He did it after the Wolves game, but if done it now he'd have nothing to lose.

[StevieH]

He was a man under pressure at the time. He was very complimentary about the club and supporters when it was announced that he would be leaving the club.

[The Special One]

"KOP never embraced me"

 

He'll then bitch about Rafa's 'legacy' and how he couldn't get over the looming shadow of Dalglish over everything he did. He'll end it by blaming the players he had and not being given the opportunity to buy more Pauls and Christians.

[sir roger]

He's gone, get over it

Sorry it's not Roy Hodgson, ruddy hell it's Xabi Alonso but should provide a distraction until relic Roy's rivetting revelations really rouses a rabbling row. It's not an owl but henjoy.

 

 

Xabi Alonso has paid a glowing tribute to Liverpool supporters and admits the time he spent at Anfield will always have a special place in his heart.

 

The Spain midfielder quit Merseyside for Real Madrid before the start of last season and has impressed as much in La Liga as he did in the Barclays Premier League.

 

But back in an environment where supporters are quick to wave white handkerchiefs of surrender in a show of dissent against the clubs they love, Alonso remembers a very different attitude from The Kop.

You'll never walk alone: Xabi Alonso has declared his love for Liverpool supporters

 

You'll never walk alone: Xabi Alonso has declared his love for Liverpool supporters

 

'To play for Liverpool is something very special,’ he told the Spanish editition of Vogue magazine.

 

‘There is a very intimate connection between the fans and players that doesn’t exist at other clubs.

Good times: Alonso's wife, Nagore enjoyed her time in Liverpool

 

Good times: Alonso's wife, Nagore enjoyed her time in Liverpool

 

‘Even in bad times, the stands do not whistle, instead they sing, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.’

 

The 29-year-old’s wife Nagore has equally fond memories of her former home after making the life-changing decision to move when Alonso moved from Real Sociedad to Liverpool in 2004.

 

Nagore, who had their first child Jontxu on Merseyside in 2008 and has since added daughter Ane to the family, said: ‘It was the best move I made (coming to Liverpool).

 

‘The relationship went a step further. I had been working on a film production team (at the time), but I packed my bags and went.’

 

And while many WAGs worry that their partners will appear in lurid newspaper headlines, she has few fears about the man she married eight years ago.

 

‘I can’t complain,’ she said. ‘I am lucky - Xabi doesn’t go to parties. He spends all his free time with us. After a match or training, he comes straight home.’

 

Liverpool fans may wish he never left them and there is still a bond with his old club.

 

 

Alonso was a surprise visitor to Anfield when Liverpool beat Aston Villa 3-0 in December and, earlier this month, he sent new Reds boss Kenny Dalglish a good luck message via Twitter.

It might be another few weeks but we'll get a Sunday newspaper EXCLUSIVE! with whichever reporter is currently nodding most sympathetically in Roy's direction. It will come with a free CD of Roy's version of "I Will Survive"

[RobbieOR]

He was a man under pressure at the time. He was very complimentary about the club and supporters when it was announced that he would be leaving the club.

 

To be honest, id say a PR person at the club knocked up that statement, and if he had any input I doubt they'd let him put his own ideas in it. Deep down, the man didnt like us and we didnt like him.

[JermainePennant]

Does anyone know why we have not seen any kenny interviews with lfc tv?

 

Roy done one on his first day and used to do one before every match as did rafa including end of season shows with them.I havent seen kenny do any with them yet.

love xabi, love pepe, love lil luis and nando. (and arbeloa for that matter).

 

It's nice to have players you can actually like as human beings.

[Jonny83]

Loves us so much he put in a transfer request allowing Madrid to scoop him for less than what they paid for Kaka and Karim fucking Benzema.

 

Sorry I'm really drunk and being a bit bitter I just miss the bastard.

That did make me laugh more than it should have
