“Roy hasn't got anything to prove to anybody. If you say he has extra motivation then you are doubting the man's integrity and implying he never had enough motivation before.” – Dalglish
Despite Kenny's admirable diplomacy, let’s be clear: Hodgson has no integrity. He is a pathetic, small-minded, excuse-making, mind-bogglingly arrogant, conceited and pretentious prat. I fully expect him to treat this game like a Cup Final. After all, if he can motivate this West Brom side to beat his former employer, his chums in the media will triumphantly declare we were wrong to dismiss him as if it somehow vindicated the rotten job he did in 6-months at Anfield.
"Do I still feel I've got something to prove? No, I think my 36 years, for those who care to study it, speaks for itself.” – Hodgson
This statement says everything you need to know about Hodgson. He arrived at Anfield believing he had nothing to prove. Rather than see managing Liverpool FC as the pinnacle of an unremarkable career in management, Hodgson saw it as just another job.
“In 35 years how many clubs have I had?” said Hodgson back in October. “What do you mean do my methods translate? They have translated from Halmsteds to Malmo to Orebo to Neuchatel Xamax to the Swiss national team. So I find the question insulting. To suggest that, because I have moved from one club to another, that the methods which have stood me in good stead for 35 years and made me one of the most respected coaches in Europe don’t suddenly work, is very hard to believe."
How stupid must you be to believe you can simply import methods that achieved success with limited clubs in limited leagues to a club like Liverpool FC? How ignorant must you be to describe the transition from Fulham to Liverpool as moving “from one club to another”? As for his now 36-year record in management, for those who do care to study it, it is a tale of moderate success with Mickey-Mouse teams in Scandinavian leagues, disaster at any big club that has taken him on and relative success with Fulham. It is most definitely not a CV to crow about.
I am so sick of this man. He never should have been at Anfield in the first place and seeing him and his methods up front exposed the lie that he is some sort of gentleman within the game. He wasn’t man enough to admit his own failings in the Liverpool job and still isn’t. The very fact he thinks ‘success’ at West Brom would somehow restore his reputation after his shocking turn at Liverpool shows how utterly clueless the man is. One win in four might be seen as good form at the Hawthorns but at Anfield, it way below acceptable standards.
Make no mistake, he will want to win this one tomorrow and Kenny needs to get our team fired up for a battle. Our Premiership record versus West Brom reads: Pld 9, W 9, D 0, L 0, GF 25, GA 0.
That’s right, our worst result against them is a 1-0 win and they haven’t scored a goal against us in the Premiership. Let’s make sure that record is intact after tomorrow. Let’s make sure Hodgson gets the relegation he set out to achieve at the start of this season. Let’s make sure Sunday’s papers aren’t full of shite about how mistreated Hodgson was at Anfield.
Let’s inflict misery on the man as payback for all the misery he inflicted on us. Let’s kick their bloody arses!
