Arsenal's England Players disgraceful treatment by media

Just heard that Jack Wilshere won't be going to the world cup though I wasn't surprised as our players are constantly put down by the English media.
Shearer on MOTD and the likes of Gough and Durham's bile against our players to name a few on talk sport over the past few days has led to the spineless Southgate to pander to the media.I expect Welbeck to get the same treatment tomorrow as Jack got,and previous players like Walcott also suffered the same.Can anybody remember back in 1990 when the three players axed from the England WC squad were Adams Rocastle and Smith,so this isn't new.Is anybody else gutted by our players getting this treatment or do you not care about England.I for one hope England fail abysmally come June.

Doubt it has anything to do with the media and more to do with our English players being shit

So our three players who were left out in 1990 were shit? This is not a new thing,Delph amd Livermore better than Wilshere is laughable.

Talking about the players now. Welbeck and Wilshere are as bad as it gets.

90 team reached semis so can't really complain.

England could have won the WC in 1990 if they'd picked Adams Rocastle and Smith.Arsenal went on to win the league in 90/91 with Adams the best defender in the league by a mile only 18 conceded,Smith was also winner of the golden boot.

What's the English media got to do with a decision by the England Manager who reviews and scouts the players?

I'm not saying I agree with the decision but blaming the media is ridiculous, at least if you blamed the manager you'd have a half a case but passing the buck to the media is not it.

The media controls who gets picked and who doesn't.Gareth Nosegate picks whoever he is told to pick by certain pundits and radio broadcasters by how players are portrayed in the media.Arsenal are won of the biggest clubs in the country yet very rarely have their players picked for England.That portrays us as small time and our dopey fans go along with it..

This might be a wake up call for some of our fans who, how can I put it, severely lack perspective or objectivity.

Please don't blame the media, it's embarrassing.

If we don't back our players and manager we come across as weak.Untold Arsenal seems to be the only Arsenal site that has the balls to stand up for the club...

How does me backing a regularly injured Wilshere and a mediocre-at-best Welbeck to play for England help anyone?

How exactly does it help the club? If Wilshere isn't selected he will be fresher for the new season. Did you consider that?

You've mentioned the word "Spuds" or "Spurs" 45 times in your 44 posts on this forum

I think that says all we need to know.

I think Wilshire should have been picked but he had his audition and missed it, that's life it's not a conspiracy
