Joey Barton 'I Would Walk Into England Team'!

Does anyone give a flying f*** what Joey Barton says?

Well ... if you do ...

The former Toon skipper - who was filled in outside a Liverpool nighclub last week - has claimed he would "walk" into the England squad - if he was better behaved.

Barton won one cap, against Spain in 2007, when he came on for two minutes and touched the ball twice.

He wrote on Twitter: "Why are people giving me loads [of abuse] about England saying 'cant get in squad etc'.

"On ability I walk into the squad, on behaviour I don't... #fact.

"If Henderson got in, any Englishman not currently in the squad has to feel aggrieved. Yes, I wish I was there but I'm not...

"Everyone's thinking it I'll say it. Liverpool have an horrific season and have six players in our euro squad. What chance do we have. Pick on form.

"How [Grant] Holt, [Micah] Richards, [Michael] Carrick, [Rio] Ferdinand, [Leon] Osman, [Daniel]Sturridge etc never got involved is a travesty...

"I really hope England do well and win it, I really do. All am saying is a don't think we will and it p***es me off...

"If everyone stays fit, we've got a decent 11, once [Wayne] Rooney's back.

"If any of the keys players get a knock, we are done for. Three games in eight/nine days takes its toll on the body.

"If a few are carrying injuries from a long domestic season, it will show. Not being pessimistic just a realist.

"I am overqualified to pass judgement on this. Not only have I played in the Premier League for 10 years but I've played with and against most of them."
