    I honestly feel like these players need some actual education.

    This is disgusting, LGBT campaigns should really pull out of England and demand a apology.

    Fans are right to boo this hypercritc, he knew exactly what going to play in Saudi meant.

    As a fan, I say that “proper England players don’t warm benches for their clubs, or go to play in retirement leagues for the pay day if they still want to paly for England”.

    But that’s just my opinion.

    If I was memed on to extent that a politician in Ghana was making jokes about my shit defending while playing for one of the biggest teams in the world over the last few years, I’d keep my mouth shut as much as possible

    So criticising your own fans for booing Jordan Henderson under perfectly reasonable circumstances just makes you come off as a clown

    Some footballers have so much hubris and suffer from an impressive lack of self awareness it’s actually crazy

    Please I beg, can one journalist please point out to Southgate/Maguire/Henderson exactly why these boos are happening? They know damn well why already but somebody please make them answer it directly in a press conference. I’m tired of them getting to put out a single quote that completely ignores any context.

    This team has become so unlikeable for me in the space of a couple of months.

    Fans pay the money. They can boo if they want. They only ever boo if you have done something wrong. Them constantly telling fans what they can and can’t do is just stoking the fire.

    Him, Henderson and Southgate should all shut up and do their job. They’re acting like superior beings.

    Plenty of players including Maguire, Beckham and Southgate have been booed undeservedly, but that’s not the case for Henderson. He’s not hated for a mistake on the pitch, he’s hated for being a hypocritical sellout and I think the boos are an acceptable way for the public to voice their displeasure

    Just like with his penalty all those years ago, Southgate is missing the point here. A common theme in his life it seems.

    I just bought this last car, that is worth more than everything our family owns, in your honor. I might even drive it after a few beers in the middle of town.

    I dislike booing your countrymen. If the goal is helping your team to win then booing isn’t the answer. You’re there to support to national team, if you’re not there to support the national team then don’t buy a ticket.

    “Oh but their voices need to heard, these are people’s opinions!”

    Fuck off with your opinions and boos, go watch England on your own at home were no one can hear your poisonous treason.

    Also bonus round, pretty shocked the crowd couldn’t stay silent for 30 seconds to pay respects for the dead victims of the Palestine-Israeli conflict. If you can’t at least pay respect to some dead people what hope do you have to cheer for your own country? Stop defending these hooligans.

    Proper England players don’t turn their backs on marginalised groups and throw away everything they believe in for a payday they don’t need, Harry.
