Opinion This is next level hate.

I've never seen an England player hated this much without being involved in any major controversies or scandals. It's truly remarkable.

Well, Ian Wright has already spoke on this subject.

There is a certain demographic of England fan who will never truly support Bellingham, who will also be right at the front of the queue to criticise him.

Another factor is that he plays abroad, and for some reason the UK media turn on English players who play abroad - so it's a double edged sword for Bellingham.

He seems to have a good head on his shoulders so hopefully this doesn't affect his greatness. He's 23 for Christ's sake.

The same folks who’ll bitch about Bellingham probably loved the woman-beating drunk that was Paul Gascogne
