ROY HODGSON GLEE AS EURO CUP RANTER ARRIVES FOR 2012

Roy Hodgson was a picture of joy today after hearing the news that Euro Cup Ranter would be covering the 2012 European Football Championships. "Up yours Ranter," Roy told us when we rang him up in the middle of the night and asked him if his hair hero was Patrick from EastEnders.
"The rumours that I use curlers to maintain my impeccable hair style are untrue," said Roy, audibly groggy, and trying to keep his voice down so as not to wake the wife. "It is true I visit a traditional Jamaican barber."
We rang late at night because of Roy's owl ancestry - everyone knows the animals operate best at night, but it appears Hodgson's human traits are also strong parts of his make-up. "Of course I was fucking asleep, it's 3-45am!" he exclaimed, and was very non-plussed by our questioning about his nocturnal habits. "We have got one or two mouse traps in the garage, but no, I do not go out on so-called 'night flights' hunting small mammals, and if you are going to call at this time I would rather talk about football," he added, just before we hung up.
Good luck Roy! Ranter thinks you'll need all of it, but at least with most of the ego squeezed out of this England side, you have a chance. But oh dear, John Terry. WHY UNCLE ROY, WHY? I knew there was another question we had to ask him...
