Our longest unbeaten run in our history was under Hoddle wasn't it? 21 games.
It's simultaneously weird and makes total sense than Hoddle has that record.@Kenny loves that stat
But yeah, lost at Wigan in January then didn't lose in the league until late August at Leeds.
Oh it was, it was just less bad than what came before. I've just looked, in half a season Hoddle oversaw ten 1 1 draws in 04/05. His first five games ended 1 1!You can only judge on that season, not what came after. In the end Hoddle showed he was a complete prick and rightly goes down as a reviled character but in his first season the football wasn’t anywhere near as bad as what followed.
I was ecstatic when he walked away too. My expectation was that with a preseason and some of his own signings we might turn some of the draws into wins. In fact he served up the dullest football I’d ever witnessed at Molineux. We regularly considered staying in the pub and always regretted not doing so after a few minutes.Oh it was, it was just less bad than what came before.

In 05/06 we had another ten 1 1 draws but over a whole season. Hoddle's whole tenure was sleep inducing.
Had me seriously considering whether to renew my ST in both of those summers. I was so relieved when he walked away.
I'd moved to Derby by then and despite having a season ticket didn't bother going to about half the games under Hoddle in 2006. I gave it up at the end of that season as it looked like he was stayingI was ecstatic when he walked away too.

"It was a stupid mistake by Ki-Hyeon Seol which cost us.
"I praise him highly when he does well, but he's got to learn he can't play flicky-flicky football at that time in the game and in that position.
"We've given the ball away in a dangerous position and conceded a goal which should never have happened."

Oh the irony of Hoddle complaining about flicks and tricks. Twat!Just looked up that 2-2 draw at Cov. Check Glenn "man management" Hoddle's comments!
I wonder why people thought you were a prick, Glenn.
Ah, yes. Some fans would have appreciated this at the time though, much as they did when he lead the charge on Beckham after the Argie game.Just looked up that 2-2 draw at Cov. Check Glenn "man management" Hoddle's comments!

"SouthGate"First proper link with the England job if SouthGate goes to old Trafford. Just a list of names in the mirror
That explains why you are so defensive over him. The new Pilkoman"SouthGate"
(This only bothers me as it's my name.)
So really you're Elephant Southgate ?"SouthGate"
