Joey Barton for England !!!! Is he ever going to oust Lamaprd, Gerrard or Hargreaves? He just created uneeded tension and is a disruptive influence.
7 February, 2007 at 12:25 am #259012scholes is better then all 4, lampard and gerrard don’t play well together, so maybe worth giving barton a go with gerrard .. its only a friendly though, it means nothing and what ever happens, it will be the same england line up for the next proper match

8 February, 2007 at 1:58 pm #259014well Barton got on, but none of the England team really impressed with such a poor display, was generally apalled by the seeming lack of committment. Richards did well when he came on and Foster did ok in goal . Overall they system was wrong with one up, Crouch can’t do that job well enough at international level.

So what you mean in a nutshell was we were sh/it :wink:
13 February, 2007 at 2:51 pm #259016I think Barton deserves a chance on his form this season and last to a certain extent, the obvious problem being his temperament. Id be suprised if he learns to control it overnight, the Mendes incident the other day being a prime example of that- could we trust him to keep his cool in an important match? Probably not.
I dont think he is as good as Lampard, Stevie, or Hargreaves no, but maybe he might fit into the team better than Lampard or Gerrard. I dont think you can play both of them, and maybe Barton is the answer (although god knows what the question is:D, who is the most likely to end up in jail in the next 6 months lol) -
