England turn-off proves Jamie Carragher was right
THE tabloids tried hard to drum up a controversy after Jamie Carragher's new book revealed he loved his club more than his country.
Only Stan Collymore bit because it seems that everyone agrees with Carragher's forthright views.
"You do not want to hear things like that, but I do understand where someone like Carragher is coming from," said Mark Perryman, of the England Fans' Group.
The national viewing figures spoke even more eloquently last Saturday night.
England opened their World Cup campaign against group whipping boys Andorra, watched by less than a million England fans.
In one of the lowest audiences ever recorded, just 922,000 households decided it was worth forking out £12.99.
More viewers actually tuned in to see Andy Murray overhaul Rafael Nadal in the semi-final of the US Open.
ITV and BBC decided £1m wasn't a worthwhile price to pay for an England highlights package, either.
None of us, it seems, are England fans any more.
