The continued snubbing of Swansea's English players would seem to indicate he isn't...
Does Roy Hodgson know Wales exists? If not, it's possibly the only explanation for calling up Andros Townsend, Fabian Delph & Jack Colback to his latest England squad, but not considering Jonjo Shelvey, who had six goals and six assists last season - one more assist and the same amount of goals that Delph, Townsend & Colback managed combined. Most Swans fans have long since given up on seeing Leon Britton getting the cap he so thoroughly deserves, but it now seems that anyone else hailing from East of the border who comes to play their football at the Liberty may as well leave their international aspirations behind.
It is so painfully obvious to most that Hodgson is so far from the right man for the job, that I'm starting to wonder whether he's being kept on deliberately because he's so bad at his job. I saw an interesting stat the other day showing that Harry Redknapp & Roy Hodgson have won one major trophy between them (Redknapp won the FA Cup), and these were the two guys supposedly fighting it out for the job before Woy was appointed? Seems about right.
I probably shouldn't care so much being Welsh, but you've really got to feel for some of the Swans. Leon, Routledge, Dyer & Jonjo can all now count themselves unlucky to have missed England squads during their time here, and until the outdated England setup changes I'm sad to say I can't see it changing. Fingers crossed Roy gets the boot soon and they get in someone who knows what they're doing. For our English lad's sake.
Andros ******* Townsend, for Pete's sake!
