Too right.

Roy's problem was he never had a lucky item of clothing like ged's lucky scarf and rafa's lucky socks.

I think he shoulda got himself a nice flat cap that was lucky and we would have been fine.

Keys and Gray are still cunts when they are on radio.

Does Keysy dress down now on Talkshite? Maybe sport a pair of Bobby washables perhaps.

Exclusive - Hodgson: ‘We won’t stay up playing like Barcelona’ | talkSPORT

 

Roy Hodgson has warned his West Brom players that they must improve defensively if they are to stay in the Premier League this season.

The Baggies threw away a three goal advantage against West Ham on Saturday to leave themselves just three points off the bottom.

Hodgson was just a spectator of that match though and has backed his new team to beat the drop but only if they stop conceding so many goals.

“You have to do better defensively if you want to survive in this league, you can’t do it the Barcelona way i.e. we’ll score 6 and you score as many as you can!”Roy Hodgson

He said: “I’m delighted to be here, it wasn’t really my intention to come back into football immediately but I thought this opportunity really was too good to miss and if I had of said no then it would have passed me by.

“I’m looking forward to what is a very tough 12 games but there are a few of us down there in the same boat so lets hope we can be the lucky ones.

“I’ve only done one training session but from what I’ve seen from the players they seem very good, I can only hope that the time will be sufficient for us to be able to improve our players as a team. You have to do better defensively if you want to survive in this league, you can’t do it the Barcelona way i.e. we’ll score 6 and you score as many as you can!

“We’ve got to get better defensively, we’ve got some very good attacking players at the club and to become a better team, whether you’re Manchester United or you’re a team like ourselves at the bottom, to win games you’ve got to attack well and defend well.

"We'll still try and do playing the way that the fans want us to play though and hopefully that will good enough for us.

They were doing alright trying to emulate Barca under Di Matteo. The man should have negativity as his middle name.

Am I missing something? West Brom were in the relegation zone when he was sacked, how is this doing alright?

He's only been there a couple of days and he's already having sly digs at the previous manager. He's a grade a fuck nut.

 

EDIT: He had us playing like the old Wimbledon, yet we still shipped goals.

They were 16th.

[Bubble]

He might have had a point about not defending like Barcelona if it wasn't for the fact that Barca have only conceded 12 league goals all season. Seems to work better than Roy's defensive philosophy.

[DJLJ]

They were 16th.

 

Then I am corrected.

[Jonny83]

Barcelona defend much, much, much better than we did under Hodgson.

[Reacher]

Fingers crossed we get to see the friction face-rub when the kings men ruin them.

[redmachine23]

Fuck Roy Hodgson

[ctkeepercoach]

European ways?!!

 

Ya know, kicking the ball so high it comes down with snow on it... Like Swiss mountains or the French Alps...

Roy Hodgson is the signing of the season | Simon Rice | Independent Editor's choice Blogs

 

Hodgson had a dreadful time at Liverpool and was out the door by ‘mutual consent’ little over six months after walking into Anfield. Recent results on Merseyside (and one in particular at Stamford Bridge) have conspired to suggest Roy Hodgson wasn’t getting the best out of the Liverpool team. Yet I maintain, as I have written before, Hodgson is a special manager and given more time would have had the ability to turn things around. In any case, he wasn’t given that chance.

 

I concur, his career win ratio of 43.19% marks him out as one of the game's very finest.

[RobbieOR]

If we had of given him more time we'd have been relegated.

[fowler9]

already getting his excuses in for tomorrow saying he hasnt had enough time with the team!

 

its funny now he isnt with us

[Ziggy Stardust]

His arrogance makes me very angry. I know it shouldn't bother me now he's gone, and it doesn't until I see him again being a knob on TV. I hope they go down now.

[Antynwa]

I hope he does well and keeps Brom up.

[NorwegianRed]

Feel bad for the West brom fans who will have to endure his shit hoof negative football. Really do

 

If he gets it working though, he might be able to keep them up. It's the kind of club Roy should manage. Clubs who are aiming for a mid-table finish\Staying up.

 

His level.

Has trotted out his ' I haven't got a magic wand' line reported in today's mirror.

[sir roger]

Just got back from holiday & picked up the Daily Mirror at Liverpool Airport to be greeeted with the headline ' Roy: I have no magic wand for Baggies' & while it would be nice to think it was an impish rejoinder to this website's owner for his recent blog, I suspect it is another example of 'Don't blame me guv' from an acknowledged master of the art.

[Kevin D]

I think Hodgson is great entertainment, particularly this fixation on a "magic wand". It's as if everywhere he goes people are going up to him to enquire about this wand and he's just got fed up with it.
