Roy Hodgson, know your role and shut your mouth

[Guest TK-421]

As Graham Taylor once said: "Can we not knock it?"

 

EDIT: It's a pity Hodgson hasn't picked Cole from West Ham to allow him to reprise Taylor's shouts of "CARLTON! CARLTON!"

 

"Fuckin' Hell's bells"

I actually think The Hodge will get more out of Andy Carroll than anyone could. For a manager who loves his big men up top, Andy Carroll is utopia for him as the boy actually has talent. Can see Andy having a great tournament in all honesty because just like at Newcastle, the play will be focused around him. Rooney coming back will change that slightly but I don't think that will affect Hodge's game plan too much.

 

I can see Gerrard supporting Carroll for the first 2 games, then Shrek will take that position with Gerrard either getting rested if qualified (very much doubt that) or taking up a CM/ RM position. Really want to see England & Roy fail at this but would love Carroll to do something positive, for his own confidence and then we can reap rewards next season.

 

Roy has had little time to arrange anything (good excuse but true) He will build his team around relationships that already exist.

 

Hart - Lescott - Barry - Milner

Cole - Mongo - Cahill - Frank

Gerrard - Carroll

Faaackin ell!!!

 

I got that Doc on VHS somehwere.

Its effin brilliant.

"Play it as you see it Nigel" was my favourite line.

 

And Phil "YES BOSS" Neal as top henchman.

 

What a bunch of fucking clowns. This will be no different.

Felt a bit sorry for Taylor, Koemann stitched us up totally.

Phil Neal, the man that demanded £500 to talk about Heysel. Where is he now?

I have a feeling Carroll will bail Woy and England out , it would be good to see Andy tear it up and have a great tourney but as you say seeing Woy somehow succeed would be shite.

Taylor: "We'll have to get Wrighty on shortly."

Phil Neal: "We'll have to give Wrighty a go."

 

 

Des Walker knocks a misplaced pass to John Barnes:

Taylor: "Ooooh, fucking... Do I not like that!"

Poland win the ball, break downfield and score.

Taylor: "What a fucking ball. What a ball, eh, from Des to Barnesy. What a fucking... It was our possession."

Phil Neal: "I know."

Taylor: "It was from our free kick. We've come square, and the ball... Des and Barnesy, eh? Fucking ball, eh? You can talk till you're fucking blue in the face, can't you?"

Phil Neal: "Yes boss."

Gerrard came across very well there in the press conference.

[Torvald Utne]

semi finals at least, it's so obvious.

 

chelsea were gonna get beat 3 or 4 nil by Barcelona.

Frightening verbatim stuff in The Times today.

 

"no more than five passes at the back- then bang it up to the big man"

They're quite likely to face Spain in the Quarter Finals.

Even more obvious, Woy will defeat the world champions and be proclaimed as the greatest manager ever.

Stop fucking about and launch it.

Roy's on a winner, the last time he took over a shambles, he got the sack and moved on to a lesser team and became a bit of a hero (ask the West Brom fans), then move on to be the countries manager. It can go either way, he can do well and become an England hero or he can do shit and move on to another job (Wigan!!) and do well.

[xerxes]

I approach tonight with fear and dread.

[fowler9]

i dont its gonna be fucking hilarious

[Torvald Utne]

3-0 to England and no hilarity in sight.

[fowler9]

[Captain]

are Norway really that shit?

 

No. There is absolutely no chance of England winning 3-0.

[Torvald Utne]

No. There is absolutely no chance of England winning 3-0.

 

Oh dear, this thread is making Fate angry.

[Il Fenomeno]

are Norway really that shit?

 

Yes, they lost 4-1 to Wales in November.

[TheHitman]

Sums it up.
