What Makes England Look Shite?

[manker]

If memory serves the manutd fans have expressed their contempt for the English national team for several years.

It could be due to Beckingham getting pelters from everyone else after getting sent off (stupidly) agin' t'Argies. Sir Lex and presumably his disciples has always been a big fan of the closing ranks policy. So they would naturally hurl abuse at anyone who did the same to one of theirs.

The fact that he's a Scot (albeit a hun) would not have hurt. Can England produce decent managers btw.

Good post. Sir Alex doesn't discourage this, even amongst the English players (Scholes, for example).

A level of disdain for the national team has been there for a fair while - coinciding when the realisation dawned on Utd fans that their team was, man for man, much better than England's. The Beckham thing stirred it up and it's rumbled on ever since.

It's just never been this overt nor at this level before.
