Getting some abuse for his tweet ...

Hogan Ephraim @HoganEphraim 58m
Sad to see Anton leave the club...great guy and a very good player who I believe would of been in the top 3 cb's in this league...

Nice to stick up for a mate but "been in the top 3 cb's in this league" ? He's having a giraffe isnt he?

Getting some stick but giving some back too...Twitter gotta love it :-) at least he doesnt run off crying like TF i spose! :-)

Im amazed he has survived the cull as his time was up the season we came up

With you there, what's he been doing for the last 3 years? I suppose he thinks he's one of the top 3 wingers in the league.

Who?

Hogan's only managed 13 appearances for 3 different sides on loan in the last 4 seasons! plus 11 for Toronto earlier this year. Needs to look for another club..league 2 roundabouts imo. Makes me laugh cos he is always giving it the big one last game of the season on the lap of honour dressed like a gangster and the medallion on his chest. Hilarious.

It's bizarre ain't it, how long he's been around without actually getting anywhere near the first team. God knows why Hughes extended his contract, then again God knows why Hughes chose to do half the stuff that he did!

He must be someone's lovechild.

Probably used as a dummy for Hoilett to practice going round in training

You have to wonder why we recalled Hogan from Toronto when he doesn't look like being anywhere near the team. Might as well have left him there where he was at least playing some kind of football...

I think you'll find the erudite, sensible and experienced contract negotiations by a former Waiter in our employ may be the real reason for a couple of Contract extensions.
From what I heard a few questionable players had a clause that should we retain our Premier league status after first promotion season then they got an automatic extension.

Been gone from the club a while now but STILL the whiff of that man lingers around the corridors.

The last time Ephraim played the goalie could pick up a back pass.

what does he mean.. great guy and a very good player who I believe would of been in the top 3 cb's in this league... would have been in the top 3 CBs in this league, he not in the top 3 CBs in our club.

Why is everybody being so hard on Hogan?

He was in the first team for a number of games at the start of our promotion season, and scored at least one cracking goal, at home to Middlesbrough. Eventually lost his place to Tommy Smith, I think, but still saw some game time and was a key squad player for the entire season. Definitely a decent player to have in our Championship squad.

And what's wrong with sticking up for his mate? We all know even he doesn't believe what he said, but so what?

Reminds me of the words of John Lennon when asked:

'Is Ringo Starr the best drummer in the world?'.

John replied: 'he's not even the best drummer in the band'

Harry said he wanted him out at the end of last season. Hogan claimed the loan was ended because QPR wanted him "refreshed for the new season" but was full of ****, Toronto placed him on waivers. 11 games, 0 goals, 0 assists it's not hard to see why.
