England fans show true colours

I HATE international breaks — I miss going to see the Blues, the pundits bore the pants off anyone remotely interested in football with the Lampard/Gerrard ‘dilemma’, and inevitably the England ‘support’ do something to sink even lower in my estimation. This last weekend was no exception.

The aforementioned ‘fans’ love a scapegoat, and — excuse the paranoia — but that goes double if that scapegoat happens to play for Chelsea. So the boo boys have done with Lampard for now, and have turned their attention to Ashley Cole, just because he had a lapse in concentration. Why stop at booing? Fifty lashes at least I say.

The interesting thing about this whole episode is that almost without exception, the media has condemned the boo-boys targeting Cole, which is great, yet where was the condemnation of those that put Lampard through the same, game after game after game —– never mind how well he played?
