Dalglish had half a season so the easy fixtures argument just doesn't cut the mustard IMO

BBC Sport - Lukas Podolski will join Arsenal from Cologne this summer
Good signing I reckon, can see him doing pretty well.

Would agree with this (apart from maybe the bit about Arry) Hodgson may not be a terrible manager but it really is an uninspiring choice.
He has a very set way of setting his sides up that has brought him some success in the past but it is essentialy very limited. If England are happy to play like Greece or Switzerland and maybe scrap through the group with a couple of draws and a 1-0 win then maybe he is the man for the job. Given it's what they did at the world cup so maybe it's what the FA cup is going for but surely he should not be seen as someone to take England beyond Euro 2012?
Second problem as you mention is his handling of big egos and the media, think he could very easily crack under the strain, already looks sloghly unhinged at times.
I swear this had happened at least 3 times now.

Round 9 - half his tenure gone - we were actually in the relegation zone, nevermind fighting not to be in it. When Roy left we were 12th, but only 4 points off the relegation zone. When Kenny came only Chelsea had a better record from that period onwards - which was the halfway point of the league - and we almost challenged for a CL spot at one point before a couple losses at the end. There is no way you can even try to exonerate him. Especially if you saw the way we played.
hardly matters does it though. Hodgson did a poor job at Liverpool in admittedly difficult circumstances, whatever has happened after that does not change it.
Anyhow excited about today's game. Care a little less than I would have done If City had been ahead going into the game, the fact that the title race seemed to be over a few weeks ago means this is almost an unexpected bonus.

Roy is obviously a reasonable manager - the problem is that the truth lies somewhere between Scaly and Ikki and there is no surprise there!
IMO, he could do a reasonable job if he has the backing to get rid of ****wits like Terry, etc who have no business representing their country

Hate to be a pedant (well, no, it's like fresh air to me, actually, anyway...) but Bobby only took us to one. We missed out on 84 because of an Allan Simonsen (sp?) pen at Wembley.
Anyway, happy Woy's not 'Arry, unhappy he's not Morinho. That about covers my feelings.
Did think the horlicks he made of the Scouse gig would have ruled him out tho, but.

Yeah, same here. Reckon he's top class. Far better than the banal and stupid Andy Gray.
