I don’t think fans resent the massive salaries the top players earn, millions a year at every Premier League club. Not if they are doing the . But if not, the fans turn angry. Perhaps the abuse is more prevalent today because of the effects of social media. It is so easy today to rubbish and attack our heroes and celebs rather than worship them. Perhaps England and Belgium and the other leading countries, their players and fans, have grown to assume they are always going to stuff the lesser counties, way down the pecking order, with small populations and players we have mostly not heard of.
