That he says he knew he'd get abuse is a sad indictment on this country. Wankers

It's a sad indictment of wider society. A number of people (including Southgate) have pointed out that a lot of the online abuse is coming from abroad.

Of course, there were also plenty of English 'fans' posting disgusting comments - I'm not deflecting from the problems we clearly have in this country! - just saying racism is a global issue.

Edit: and yes, these idiots are complete arse holes - I really hope a decent number get prosecuted for their vile posts!
