Mr Roy's golf swing: Straight down to important matters, and ITV have just shown footage of Hodgson teeing off at some charity golf event earlier in the week, alongside former breakfast-time patter merchant Adrian Chiles. The Hodge is left handed, but for the record no Bubba Watson he. A criminally short backswing, the club head barely reaching the height of his shoulders, though in fairness he manages a reasonably high follow through. "At least it went forward, that's the main thing," he smiles as he sheepishly picks up his tee and skulks off down the fairway, his morbid defeatism on public display for the first time since that stint at Anfield. I didn't catch Chiles' drive, incidentally, but he was looking very pleased with himself. Is that news?

The country starts getting carried away / slips into a needless funk at: 5.15pm.
But while it's a happy day for the man himself, the natural culmination of a stellar 32-year management career which has seen his methods translate well from Halmstad to Malmö to Örebro to Neuchâtel Xamax to the Swiss national team, let's keep things in perspective. It's a warm-up match, a training exercise, a last trundle out for the lads before Euro 2012 starts in earnest next weekend. That's all. Nothing to see here. I should probably hype it up a bit more, tell the truth. But I'm not going to. Regarding this matter, you'll have to bite me.
So finally, after years of wanting, yearning and needing, Roy Hodgson leads an England side - his England side - out at Wembley Stadium. And on Diamond Jubilee weekend as well! What a glorious nation! Read More
