I'm not sure I could handle Barton AND Savage... I'd like to know what criteria TV people use when selecting pundits though. It seems, with the exception of Gary Neville on Sky perhaps, that "Having a brain" and "Being English" are mutually exclusive to them.... Poor Seedorf must be wondering why he's been put in the special class.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, just reminded me of this gem from over the weekend;

Euro 2012: Joey Barton - 'I'd walk into England squad'

oey Barton believes he would have featured in the England squad at Euro 2012 were it not for his behavioural problems on and off the pitch.

He will serve a 12-match ban next season for kicking Sergio Aguero and clashing with Vincent Kompany after he was sent off at Manchester City.

Barton, who won one England cap in 2007, has also criticised the selection of six Liverpool players.

He wrote on Twitter: "On ability I walk into the squad, on behaviour I don't."

"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," he said.

"Everyone's thinking it, I'll say it. Liverpool have [had] an horrific season and have six players in our Euro squad. What chance do we have? [The England manager should] Pick on form.

"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."

What. A. Cunt.

Yeah, I'll give you Dixon. God knows how his understanding-the-game-ass slipped through the net.

Martin O'Neil when he's on is quality. Actually feel like I'm getting some tactical insight, rather than the usual repetiton of cliches

tnuc but true based on Henderson's inclusion. How he made it into the squad beyond Carrick is utterly beyond me.

Because Carrick, like quite a few of the others, stated they didnt want to be on the reserve list. It was either main squad or nothing. I think its a bit ridiculous to be able to hold your national team........your COUNTRY to random by saying I only will be in the squad if Im going to play. This is the same reason why we have a 19 year old goalkeeper in the squad who hasnt played above league 2 football.

Joey's tweets make me go 'awwww'. Especially when he quotes The Smiths.

I think Carrick made it clear he didn't want to be selected

this Ukraine / Sweden game is very entertaining. Both teams look woeful at the back. End to end stuff dunno how its still 0-0

Fantasy thread is more popular than actual discussion on the cup :) Even when England just played.
Not that much to say about that game though.
