Clrnc Wonder what's up with him and the England squad?
Seems very likely to be a personality conflict. If you've ever been invited to work on a juicy project but you know one of the other people involved is an intolerable prick, so you turn it down ... having the insight and self respect to do that is one of life's best feelings.
If it's not that, perhaps it's the vibe of the whole England dog and pony show. But my guess would be it's down to one person.
Either way, I'm very happy we've extended him at Arsenal.
