Here are the best of the jokes and quotes from Glenn Hoddle’s narration of England’s 3-0 European Championships qualification win in Lithuania on Monday night.
Roy Hodgson’s men completed a perfect ten qualifying wins out of ten, but a general lack of enthusiasm for the campaign so far meant that much of the chatter soon began to focus on the thoughts of our former national team manager.
Fans may never be satisfied with ITV’s England coverage, so we may as well enjoy these jokes and quotes from Glenn Hoddle Lithuania 0-3 England commentary:
Hoddle's commentary could put Gordon Banks' glass eye to sleep.

Classic Hoddle – 'He's got two feet. That's the beauty of him' #ENGvLIT

Hoddle's co-commentary is very gentle. He sounds increasingly like a country vicar judging a marrow-growing contest

If I was on a desert island with a packet of hobnobs and Glenn Hoddle I'd eat Hoddle and make conversation with the hobnobs

"I'm sure Roy Hodgson would have settled for 10 wins out of 10 when he got back from Brazil." Really?! Cheers Glenn! #ENGvLIT

Struggling to get the kids to sleep so I've told them to come downstairs and listen to Glen Hoddle for a bit. That should do it! #LITvENG
