BLOODY MARVEL ... Paul Ince
PAUL INCE has launched a stinging attack on the England team and their supporters following the limp 1-0 win over Wales.
The former Three Lions captain reckons players no longer consider it a privilege to play for their country — and says fans are too quick to criticise.
The ex-Manchester United midfielder said: "We're giving out caps like confetti.
"Playing for England used to be the pinnacle of your career. Now it's not that important as we have the Champions League and Premier League.
"If you get called up, you should make sure you're there."
And he slated the crowd, saying: "I can't remember from my time fans singling out a certain England player to boo or have a go at. It kind of sickens me."
