He has been a d**khead at times no doubt. He was out of order putting a cigar out on a youth teamer and unprofessional getting into a fight in a Mac Donald’s. I think he was unlucky to be caught gambling. But despite his hot natured personality I think he is actually fairly intelligent and I enjoy listening to his point of view.
Barton’s one England appearance (sub against Spain) was an embarrassment. He was so far out of his depth it was untrue. There was one excruciating moment where Xavi or Iniesta turned him inside out, the red mist came down and Barton tried to take him out with a two footed lunge through the backs of his legs...but missed. Like a Ford Transit up against Maseratis.
