With everything that has surrounded the England rugby team and previous stories regarding players involved in last years World Cup, i appears that the British media get some sort of kick out of seeing players/teams implode.
I cant fathom why leading upto and during every major event be it football or rugby, there is always shite floating around about players etc. and the feeling that the media, and some of the public, take a sense of pleasure from seeing us fail. Surely the media can keep it in their pants till after the event?
I wouldnt blame the players if they impossed a media blackout.
