Might as well ban all the Mancs tbh. The world would be a better place.

I seem to remember that happening for a while, Champions League Final time was it? The forum got awfully quiet for a while apart from a couple of rather jubilant Dons. :D

Me neither, see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed but if they're banned for one they should be banned for all :p

From what I've read of this thread it does seem to be mostly about Mr Hodgson in one way or another, there's quite an impressive amount of vitriol towards him really. I don't think it quite classifies as a standard club thread at the moment but that may change rapidly and secondly it's just my view from skim reading which doesn't mean much.

I don't know if Roy is the right man to manage Liverpool but I do have to wonder how another manager would have done in the same position. I'm sure a lot of the blame for Liverpool's current form can be laid at his door but equally there's an argument that the players have been rather underperforming in many games, in fact you could say that for most of the big clubs to an extent as none have looked massively impressive.

One thing though, if the thread stays open can someone edit the title for the name?

I managed to avoid that for a while until one of them noticed me in one of the sub forums..."you're a united fan aren't you Shami?" WHAM, "you've been banned" :( :p
 
Roy Hodgson's Premier League Away Record:

Blackburn Rovers (June 1997-November 1998) - 5 away wins
Fulham (December 2007-July 2010) - 7 away wins (just one away win in the 2009/2010 season against Portsmouth)
Liverpool - 17 games, 1 away win

Hodgson's away record is abysmal and suggests a serious limitation as an EPL manager. I do feel Liverpool have been improving at home and have played some decent football at times (e.g. vs Chelsea, West Ham, Villa) but Hodgson needs to start winning away from home soon or he will be dropped. Hodgson is 3/1 with most bookmakers to be next manager sacked, only Avram Grant has lower odds.

To be fair though, it has to be said that Hodgson has been without Gerrard and Torres for large periods. Gerrard was starting to look very dangerous before his injury and his return in the new year could be a massive boost for Woy.

Can, or should, a premier league manager be pinning his hopes on two players? Or does it simply highlight Hodgsons inadequacies with tactical management?
 
I still don't know why you were all allowed back. I think at the time somebody said I'd get bored without Mancs to argue with. I appreciate the concern but 2 or 3 would have been enough, didn't need to let them all back.

You know if they didn't let me back I would have to kick your back door in don't you?
