It’s fair to say that the good people of the internet are not fans of Roy Hodgson’s punditry
After helping with the draw for the next round of the tournament, which sparked the joke that it was the greatest thing he’s ever done for Liverpool, Roy Hodgson stepped inside the BBC studio in the pundit role.
The England national side manager tried his hand at punditry tonight for Manchester United’s FA Cup encounter against League One outfit Preston North End. The Twitterati’s reaction to his contribution, which included calling a drab, goalless first half interesting, has been harsh, to say the least.
Here is a selection of some the vitriolic tweets aimed at the former Liverpool and Fulham boss.

Asking Roy Hodgson about tactics is like asking a child to solve the da Vinci code. Clueless

Phil Neville, Roy Hodgson, and Gary Lineker's weird budget-magician's goatee. This is the worst day in the history of television.

Roy Hodgson could sit in a plain white unfurnished room in the dark and find it interesting.

Whatever sick fuck decided to put Phil Neville and Roy Hodgson on TV at the same time needs a criminal tribunal for crimes against humanity.
