    The hodge and the F-word

    The England manager has garnered some flak and censure,after using the F-word during the after match press briefing last Wednesday.

    A member of the press pack hurled a factual observation, that England had only two shots on-target,against Norway's goal during England's 1-0 win.

    This observation,drew a forceful show of emotion from the normally taciturn hodge,who responded by agreeing it was "f.ucking b.ollocks" to only manage two shots during the 90 mins.

    Whilst the FA may have winced, at the prospect of the unedited footage being uploaded to You Tube within 10 minutes of the briefing ending,the majority of the audience probably agreed with the sentiment.

    And who occasionally,doesn't enjoy a good swear.

    And how come he picked Andros Townsend after we were all told by Blackdiamond that Andros Townsend was never going to get picked for England again after the 'feed the monkey' saga, because he was the one who went to the press.

    Either that was a load of made up ******** and blackdiamond was talking out of his aris or... no, I think that is about right.

    I read somewhere that Townsend was the monkey who was to be fed and that it was another player who complained. The same report said that Townsend hadn't taken offence.

    You probably read a different report in a different paper which said something, well, different.

    Which leads us to the conclusion that a lot of what is printed in the papers is testicles anyway.

    I think you've got the story right mate. Townsend was having a stormer on the right wing but Chris Smalling who was filling in at right back had started to over complic

    No one complained. The press heard about the story then pretended someone did to sell more papers etc.

    It makes you wonder how the press found out about it if nobody complained or leaked the story doesn't it?

    My guess is that the Daily Mail knew that there would be some racist shenanigans going on and so they bugged the changing room before hand and leaked the story to themselves.

    TalkSport were very strong that a member of the England team had spoken to the press. They knew his identity but would not disclose it,until the player had identified himself.

    With no further disclosures the interest dissolved.

    I didn't say no one leaked it. Stop trying to put words in my mouth. That's a childish form of discussion, mate. I said no one complained. Remember at the time it was an 'outraged black player'. Well that was b0ll0cks. Still is.

    Someone just mentioned to someone that the team talk was a bit odd & the press saw a 'story'.

    They played their fiddle & the brainwashed masses danced to the tune.

    Again.

    A couple of weeks ago you were sure it was Townsend & you even said that was the reason he wasn't picked for the World Cup & that he'd never get near the squad again.

    Remember?
