I'm going to have to argue with that last bit there Rachael.

He does have this tendency to throw his toys out of the pram when he is reasonably criticised in the media.
And you've only got to take one look at the state of his fingernails to spot precisely how neurotic he is.

Mind you, that could be levelled at several of England's current squad.

Nevertheless, there is a difference between keeping your nails short, and biting the entire things off.

He'll have to stop all that eating between meals... ruins the appetite.
