Toon seem to have had an £1.5m bid for Seb Larsson accepted.

That would be a very good buy for us.

As a complete neutral on this issue, I have to say you are 100% spot on. Joey is no angel but the FA seem desperate to ensure that he is never given a fair crack of the whip.

And he is a cracking player too.

I dont think it helps when people like Graham Poll come out and publically criticise Barton, like Poll has done in recent days.

You dont hear that when other players make mistakes.

Graham Poll has slagged off John Terry many times in print. He even sent him off for a reason only he knows.

But I'm sure when it's John Terry getting slagged off, when it's John Terry getting stripped of the captaincy, you fully approve.

But when it's a player in black and white you whine like a 8itch.

I'll never feel sorry for Joey Barton, but if Capello includes Andy Carroll in his squad there is no reason he can keep the rat faced little get out on off the field matters. It could only be the vast choice of class central midfielders he has

Barton won't play for England because he's a complete 110% utter bleedy bleeding w@anker. And rightly so.

Warren Barton for England was laughable enough thanks.

There's a load of shining lights in the England squad isn't there... all paragons of virtue...

To play in Barton's position.
