Lets be honest with ourselves over this.

Henderson is lucky to be in the Liverpool team let alone the England squad.

Barton shared his thoughts about football. Not about how to conduct your life off the pitch.

I think some of you need to take a more grown approach to these comments.

I agree. He just wants to get some controversy out there and grab some attention by any means neccesary. He's such a little kid.
He's not good enough to get in the England team and no manager in his right mind would take him.

We all agree he has a point about Henderson but it's one thing the average joe commenting on a forum, another for a 'pro' to single a fellow pro out.

I don't think he has much of a point about the players really. I'd have taken the strikers he has over Holt and Sturridge, and Ferdinand exclusion is down to him being a c*ck. I would have taken Carrick over Henderson, though both have had poor seasons.

the only part where barton has made an error is (apart from fact he uses twitter always a major error) is the timing before a tournament when all players should get behind the boss and team.
Barton making himself look a bit wacko like martin sheen (or charlie sheen?)

Rio is equally guilty 2 prize c**ts should both be banned if eligible for england and should not be allowed to play for england, and the fa should look at hefty fines for both

The second part about Livepool's horrific season, Henderson getting in and some good players being overlooked...he's correct. I think Hodgson has been foolish in several selections.

I don't think Hodgson will suffer for it though. THere's no doubt that England are in the top 8 in europe on ability, and they have one of the easier groups, so quarters shouldn't take much doing, and depending on who they get, semis is very possible. Then people will praise Hodgson despite the fact that he most likely will do a bad job. We'll see.

BAr save yourself some irritation and just ignore whatever that Barton idiot tweets


Probably some wise advice. I usually just snigger at the crap he comes out with, but I felt these comments were horribly disrespectful. Just saw some interesting stats posted by Dale Johnson...

Dale Johnson @dalejohnsonESPN

Joey Barton: “On ability, I walk into the squad." Pass completion 69.7%, ranks him as 304th best player in the Prem and 1408th in Europe.

Pass completion, England midfield: Parker 88.7% Henderson 80.1%, Milner 79% Gerrard 76.7% ..... Joey Barton 69.7%

As much of a nob as this bloke is he is only saying what the players he mentioned will be thinking. It's the same old England always picking the names over who's in form. I really hope England do well but until they start picking in form players then they never will.

How does his comments, at this stage, in any way, help the English cause at the Euros?

Barton's only error here is that he has name the players. As someone else pointed out he should back the squad if he wants England to do well and be a little more tactful but it is Joey Barton and we all know he has some serious issues.

Outside of naming the players I think he's correct in everything he said.

thats twitter for you, in the past a player would have given an interview to a tabloid rag, lets say rio ferdinand wanted to cry about not being picked 30 years ago, it might still have ran as a story but there would be an editor to make sure the right noises went out, with twitter you let barton and other planks think they run the show, when they don't really, just the rubbish they say gos around in an ever continuing twitter circle of sh1t
