Andy Mitten: World Cup focus is on Manchester United stars, not England

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Read that before, thought it was crap.
For all that Mitten can be a useful conduit between the United grapevine and wider support, or some away fans and such, he is also a touch obsessed. The all-consuming existence of football support that i suspect he leans toward, really isn't something i'd feel comfortable with.
Furthermore, i object to the way in which he attempts to project his views of the international game on millions of people around the world, if Mitten intends on sitting in his lounge re-reading last season's match programmes that is solely his lookout.

Think its a bit generous to call them 'stars' frankly.
Fabulous post!
Don't think he is speaking for millions of fans worldwide or in UK. He is speaking for match going or possible away match going fans specifically. I mixed with that group in European aways and majority of them could not give a hoot about England.
That is a fair point, particularly if he means the regulars at away matches i imagine.
I'm Irish, but I would have thought plenty of united fans would have more interest in watching holland this year than england?
