Lee Probert and his linesman got that entire incident spot on, good piece of refereeing

He must be some sort of super genius to have lost all those players and apparently replaced them with dross

In fact this whole post is making me

People were saying Nani was a waste of money a year ago. It seems there has been a bit of a rift. if Rooney is unhappy and want's to leave then let him go. It would hurt to see him go City though, doubt we'd ever sell to them unless he did a Tevez.

You'd just make them pay more than other sides.

I just hope Chelsea would stop f*cking up, because they're the only ones who are going to stop City winning the League now.

To SaddenedThe journalist questioned the former Fulham man over the lack of suppy for striker Fernando Torres, only for Hodgson to dodge the question.

The 63-year-old then asked him whether he was from Denmark – with Hodgson having stated in the past that the Danish press can be very negative.

“Are you from Denmark?” Hodgson asked. “No, Norway,” replied the journalist.

“Ah, two countries I never want to work in again,” he said before leaving the room.'"

Awww didums.

Scandascousers - Hodgson's right not to give a toss about them.

During Rafa's reign. you'd have backed him totally over the incident and not cared about whether he was professional or not.

Hodgson's not doing a good enough job and could be out of the door in a few weeks, but that spat is irrelevant.

He could've just answered the question and reacted like a big kid. He answered the questions English journalists put to him, he could've just done the same.

It is just a stupid comment to make to go with his stupid press conferences. What he's trying to achieve I don't really know at the moment. When you hear him say things like that, which shows to me he's growing frustrated at journo's, yet he seems to be on cloud nine with our performances, it beggars belief as to what is up with him, particularly when you consider he's had most of the press lodged firmly up his crease for the past few years.

Firstly, I very much doubt he is on 'cloud nine' with the performances. He probably thinks there is little to be acheived by going mental in public at them. Secondly, LGJM is absolutely right. Had that been Benitez, a certain section of Liverpool's support (i.e. most of it) would be creaming themselves over his genius sarcastic handling of the press.

FWIW, I agree, it was a stupid comment, if nothing else, he is simply following in the footsteps of the bloke who came before him.

I think they'll kiss and make up in a few weeks. I dont think that United could afford lose him so soon after Ronaldo & Tevez. It would remove, at least temporarily, some of the gloss from the club that made it possible for SAF to kick out players when they fell out with him, knowing that they could be replaced. And he couldnt be sure that the Glazers would let him spend all of the transfer fee.

Almost all of the players that Ferie has "kicked out" were the wrong side of late 20's (Tevez and Naldo aside) and had their best times at Nited. None of them leaving was ever the major deal that the press made out as their time had come at Nited and none have really gone on and shown us up....yet!!

However, we really can't afford to let Rooney go either now for a decent fee or next summer for nowt. However much Berbatov may be better without Rooney in the team, he's 30ish and will never be the heartbeat of the team as Rooney is and has been these past few years.

And as we all know there's no value in the market so we may as well not re-invest the money in the playing squad

Roy Hodgson, showing why big clubs opted shy away from English manager for so many years.
