Brian Moore is mad as hell and not going to take it anymore following England's slumber-inducing display against Scotland in The Daily Telegraph.
"Can any of the England team, management or players answer the following questions: in which 1976 film did Peter Finch win an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the news anchor Howard Beale, who threatens to commit suicide on air to increase his show's declining TV ratings, and what was his signature catchphrase that was taken up by disaffected viewers?
"The answers are Network and: "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take this any more."
The England team, both managers and players, are on the verge of creating a legion of fans who shortly will be following Beale's disaffected viewers and yelling something similar at Twickenham.
"Further, their inability to front up and admit there are serious deficiencies to their game in public makes them appear like the film's Best Actress-winning Faye Dunaway, to whom the following description was applied to her character Diana by Max Schumacher (William Holden) – "indifferent to suffering, insensitive to joy. All of life is reduced to the common rubble of banality"."
