WBA VS LIVERPOOL - Sat 29th oct 2011 - 5.30pm ko
Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 1:37 pmWell, it's the reunion with Roy, I just read this on Sky:
Hodgson was characteristically too much of a gentleman to revel in a win against a club which had made him unemployed just 12 weeks previously and instead the focus was upon a success which moved West Brom further clear of relegation
That piece of journalism really wound me up, I remember hairy hands & the sexist animal (Richard Keys & Andy Gray) speaking to Roy after a defeat (I think) when he was here. HH & SA asked while we languished near the bottom 'is that your title hopes over Roy' which followed with the two of them laughing and Roy joining in! I was shocked to see that, yet here we have Sky playing the 'gentleman card' about Roy again.
Well, I LOVE the way Kenny sticks up for his players, club and supporters, something Roy could never do as it would tarnish his 'gentlemen's' stereotype - he put his ego before the club in the end and I think that's why many never took to him. I gave him the chance but in the end he turned out to be the worse appointment since Graeme Sounnes.
Anyway, back to the game I hope we beat these to sustain our realistic 4th spot challenge. They were lucky against us last time, getting two penalties against us. We owe these and we owe Roy.
If we channel the characteristics we used against Stoke and play the football we can - and take our bl.oody chances we'll win this comprehensively, if not it'll be another frustrating day amongst the bread & butter.
