To the tune of 'God rest ye merry gentlemen'

God help us rawkite mental men,
And grimace with dismay,
Remember Roy our manager,
Is still in charge today,
He's saved us all from Rafa's power,
But down we'll go next May,
Yet he's well thought of at the LMA,
And the FA,
Yet he's well thought of at the LMA.

He's friends with Alex Ferguson,
He's friends with Allardice,
He's friends with all the newspapers,
Who think he's 'Very nice'
He speaks in many languages,
He's managed Inter twice,
And he's well thought of at the LMA,
And the FA,
And he's well thought of at the LMA.

Roy hoped he'd manage England if
Capello went away,
It didn't quite work out like that,
He's here with us today.
He thought it would be easy,
Stay 12 months and then away
'Cause he's well thought of at the LMA,
And the FA,
'Cause he's well thought of at the LMA.

He's very easy spreading blame,
When things don't go his way,
It's always someone else's fault,
He rarely wins away,
He's masterful at shifting blame,
And expert at high pay,
But he's well thought of at the LMA,
And the FA,
But he's well thought of at the LMA.

He's got a simple plan that works
He's confident, assured.
It's worked for 35 years now,
Will probably once more,
Have 10 play back and one in front
Then punt it up and score,
And he's well thought of at the LMA,
And the FA,
And he's well thought of at the LMA.

But cheer up rawkite mental men,
He'll not be here too long,
He's never stuck a job so far,
His technique's never wrong,
A paragon, a master,
He'll end up with a gong,
'Cause he's well thought of at the LMA,
And the FA,
'Cause he's well thought of at the LMA.

Thats really good

Heres another verse:

Now Roy is in a pickle
Because of Rafas cack
He left us with a pile of sh'it
Before he got the sack
Hes getting fat on Pizzas now
Thank fu'ck he wont come back
Coz they sussed him out at the LMA
And the FA
Yes they sussed him out at the LMA

I love all this. Its great fun

now your getting it :laugh:

don't give an inch fella your always right and don't you forget it
:laugh:

maybe you lot would be happier if you f*cked off to Rawk, left us to talk about actual football?

but as its cigs, RBG and bav, with nan popping in, its ok?

im gonna write my Rafa's a fat spanish c*nt doodah doodah song... thats gotta be funny as well right

Again what's Rafa got to do with the Roy songs? It's like a self defense mechinism with you lot, hear a bad word about Roysten and you automatically slate Rafa.

its called comparison. That's why rafa has been mentioned here. {the point being that if rude songs were sang about rafa, there would be cards a plently} I I dont know what you mean by "you lot" - everyone on this forum refers to rafa when it suits their point. Nanny brought up rafa in the Glen Johnson thread saying Rafa got castigated last season for having a go at 'senior' players last season. - A comparison to how roy should be treated / reason for why he is being treated.

I think the players may have realised he ain't the man for the job.

You may be right. Thats the problem these days with all this "player power"
Than again most players have the intellect of the average slug, so I dont think its happening really

Finally someone in the media saying it as it is.

Liverpool job may be too big for Hodgson
Sunday 14th November 2010 17:04

Mark Holmes is starting to wonder whether the Liverpool job may be too big for Roy Hogson following Saturday's defeat at Stoke.

Roy Hodgson's appointment at Liverpool was greeted by a great deal of scepticism from supporters, but the national media, never too quick to criticise his predecessor Rafa Benitez, were purring.

The Anfield faithful were assured they were taking on a man of dignity, a man with class, and a man that would play the attacking football they craved. Claims that the job was too big for him were laughed off - this is, after all, a man that has managed Inter Milan and two seperate national sides.

But Liverpool are a different proposition altogether. One of the two great sides in English football, one of the biggest five clubs in the world and one whose supporters DEMAND success.

The fans probably need to lower their expectations in truth - Liverpool are after all nothing like the force they were - but they have every right to expect more than what Hodgson's men served up at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.

And the Londoner's post-match comments hardly screamed out 'class' or 'dignity'. "It was a triumph for Stoke's way of playing," he said.

A backhanded compliment if ever there was one, but he is right of course. It was a triumph for playing with two wingers, it was a triumph for playing with two strikers and it was a triumph for 11 players that fought to the death for their manager and their shirt.

It was a defeat for a side that set up to defend, a side that were disjointed, dispirited, despondent, a side that were clearly not fired up for the task.

The players themselves deserve criticism for that - they proved what they are capable of at Chelsea - but every ship needs a captain and perhaps Hodgson is just not that man.

It has been claimed he does not have the universal backing of the dressing room and that appeared clear as day at the Britannia - Steven Gerrard apart there was no player that looked willing to fight for the shirt and the manager.

Hodgson hardly has an embarrassment of riches to choose from in fairness, but he is famed for getting the most out of players and that knack seems to have deserted him at Liverpool.

Take Fernando Torres for example - excellent at Chelsea but completely isolated at Stoke. Did Hodgson honestly believe the Spaniard could turn countless long balls into goalscoring chances? Against Ryan Shawcross and Robert Huth!

Torres never had a kick, but it was hardly his fault and he must have been upset with the way his side were instructed to set up - the poor bloke never stood a chance.

Most bizarre of all is that Hodgson does not appear to see any great problem. He declared himself happy with the performance in the derby defeat at Goodison last month and was similarly unperturbed by the showing at Stoke, claiming "I thought we did very well for 55 minutes."

I'm sorry Roy, but you need to clear your desk right away if you think that was good enough for Liverpool. His side were on the back foot from the first whistle and were remarkably fortunate to go in level at half-time but it appears Hodgson would have been pleased with 0-0. Is 'hanging on' at Stoke acceptable for Liverpool these days?

They went to Stoke to defend, to frustrate and to avoid defeat. They were so comprehensively outplayed that a 2-0 loss flattered them. It could easily have been far worse, yet Hodgson accepts it.

"Stoke are a very difficult team to beat here," he argued. True, but would Mr. Ferguson accept a Manchester United defeat there? Of course not, and as manager of the other great club in England neither should you Roy.

Stoke deserve an enormous amount of credit for their performance - they pressed high up the pitch, got the ball wide, gave the front two plenty of service and were full value for their win.

Yes, they scored from a Rory Delap throw, but they also added a fine second and played the better stuff throughout at the Britannia. They were the only side set up positively trying to win the game and there were a good number of their players - not least former Red Jermaine Pennant - that looked a class above their contemporaries.

This was the great, great Liverpool and they were utterly, utterly dreadful. They didn't play "very well" for five minutes Roy, never mind 55 and you need a serious reality check if you think they did.

Hodgson said the chants for Kenny Dalglish do 'not help anybody' but who can blame the fans. They will not accept performances like Saturday's and neither should the manager.

But he does, and for that reason he must be on the thinnest of thin ice.

from Stevenlfc

Liverpool fans are all in despair
We've got no nails, we're loosing our hair
From Alonso to Poulsen
We're playing like Bolton
Hoofing it in the air

Oh we miss Benitez, Hodgson's
It seems he'll never make things right
Never leading, wish he was leaving
Guide him to the nearest flight

I remember a game on a Wednesday night
We played Northampton, and got our eyes wiped
With Lucas and Spearing
We got the result we were fearing
When Eccleston missed his pen

Oh we miss Benitez, Hodgson's
It seems he'll never make things right
Never leading, wish he was leaving
Guide him to the nearest flight

Paul Koncheskey is our left back
If it was up to us we'd give him the sack
Can't tackle or de-fend
Drives us 'round the bend
I'd rather have Djimi back.

Oh we miss Benitez, Hodgson's
It seems he'll never make things right
Never leading, wish he was leaving
Guide him to the nearest flight

Ok here goes

Rafas rants have got us all creased
With milk in bottles and a sugary priest
He uses food
When hes being rude
Coz hes constanly having a feast

Oh Hodgsons here and Rafas gone
Roy is trying to push us on
See you later
Fat spanish waiter
Put another pizza on

Great stuff!
More please!!

The kind of theory that caused you and others to go chicken oriental when we were getting comprehensively outplayed by the likes of Wigan, Portsmouth, Reading etc. last season.

Do as you would be done by others.

Latest Hodgson interview:

Roy, its been a difficult start for you at Liverpool, whats your take on your first few months at this historic club?

"well its certainly been a rollercoaster hasnt it? but I think we are starting to see the results of all our hard work"

Where in particular have you seen the most progress?

" I think tactically we have improved leaps and bounds from when I arrived, the previous regime had the team playing in a certain way and it was obvious that a change was needed. We have learnt to play on the back foot and our hoofing of the ball out of defence has certainly improved.
This was a problem for some of the players, Carra excepted, but I told them that its harder for the other team to score when the ball is at the other end of the pitch, so kick it as far away as you can as often as possible and you will limit the amount of goals you concede. I've said it before, football is a simple game"

You have one of the worlds greatest forwards in Fernando Torres and there has been much debate about his form, what are you views on Fernando.

"Well Fernando caused me a few problems at first, obviously hes a popular lad and a good looking lad and I think some of the players felt the need to get as close to Fernando on the pitch as possible. I reminded them though that they are on the pitch to play football and not to socialse and that they shouldnt be distracted by his presence. As a result they now leave him alone and isolated up front and he can himself concentrate on chasing the hoofed balls"

Overall how would you sum up this period of your illustrious career?

"Its been an honour to manage Liverpool and its been difficult at times but its not going to take long to get where we want to be, afterall the road to mediocracy is a downhill one and we are riding in a big turbo-charged bus with no brakes'

Okay I got to the hoofing it bit before I realised it was a wind up. Just a bit of gallows humour
