Big-Mouth Barton .v. Frank "the special one" Lampa

Barton has been a very outspoken crtitic of the England squad in last years World Cup.

He has told the world that he thinks it's odd that they should have under-performed so badly, yet filled their boots with autobiographies.

He believes they are a set of prima-donna's who need a reality check.

He believes they are more interested in bling, flash cars & having bimbo WAG's than actually getting down to football.

He believes Lampard & Gerrard cannot perform fully in the same midfield.

He believes there's a clique who ran Eriksson & are moving in on running McClaren.

I didn't apprecitae he was so astute.

The difference between him having these views & me having them is that I'm not hoping to get selected for the squad the next time it's announced. (Well, I am, but fckg McClaren hasn't been down the local 6 a side in months, so unless he's had scouts down there I just no longer expect it. HIS loss, the fool).

Can you imagine the welcome Barton will get if he is selected ?!?!?

He's ruight though. Lets be honest given its Red-Nose McClaren he wont get in anyway

Not playing for a side not in London, or outside the big 4, or not called Owen.

I have to admit, I do like Barton... The comments on the World Cup was exactly what every fan in the country was thinking. The stuff about all the books was spot on too.

I hope he does get a chance in the England squad. It might give a few players, who think they've got some devine right to be there, a kick in the ass. Plus, I think he'd do a decent job in the midfield.

I'm warming to Barton. After all, someone who runs over a scouser in his car, punches another whilst in Thailand and then shows his arse to the rest of them, can't be all bad.

don't forget putting his vigar in a reserve team player's eye.

By the way, Joey is as Scouse as they come himself.

Showing his ass to Everton fans was genius... So unprofessional, but funny.

He just seems to say what he feels; tells the truth when asked questions. It's refreshing to hear, since so many players give diplomatic answers or shirk round the issue.

I agree with him entirely. One thing with the England team which has always annoyed me, is why pick players for a squad who wont feature, and more importantly why not pick in form players to play rather than 'on paper' the best team.

If there is a cliché in the England set up we need to get rid of it. I bet losing Backham helped. End of the day, when a team isnt picked by the manager, its picked from a whole host of stakeholders, including the media. You dont see Sam/Fergie/Wenger listening to external sources whilst taking decisions with there own team.

Is that your description of Kevin Nolan?

Although I know which is the better footballer.
