Whats Barton got to do with Ireland
First win for Newcastle in a while, Barton struck the first blow and Duff was named man of the match, so it seems he getting back to form.
Final score Newcastle 2 West Brom 1.
Whats Barton got to do with Ireland
saw most of the match and duff had a very good game. beat players at ease time after time
he did beat players but he lacked that pace to outrun them as he often received teh ball from deep and had to cut back or stop after beating his man as he didnt have the legs to go all the way which was a pity. Looks like he is back to near his best though.
I still think the potential for himself and owen is huge, with his crossing and owens accuracy and being in the right place at the right time.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Did Barton ever get tied up with England? Surely he must have a drop of Irish in him, i know he's a proper knut but i allways tought he was a decent player.
A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes to his friends
I'd love to have a player who plays like Barton in our set up.
Can you just imagine!! SI def would last too long in the squad if Barton was around.
Even if he was qualified you are not seriously suggesting that we should pursue him? I am fairly certain he has represented England at some level, but I also suspect he might be qualified. I know his cousin James Barton who is the founder of the Cream music business in Liverpool and he has some Irish grandparents, but not sure whether these are the ones that he shares with Joey
Barton has one full cap for England.
They played another central midfielder in there though bar maybe in a couple of cup games.
Anyway, great to see Duff hit a bit of form. He's looking extremely confident. He got very angry at Martins for a misplaced pass towards the end of the first half and looked to be apologising at half time. He certainly doesn't hide his emotions on the pitch. If newcastle-online forum is anything to go by though the fans don't appreciate his work rate at all.

Yeah, but Newcastle fans are just ... ... weird.
Overreact much? And yes, Bush is just like Hitler. Clown.
Barton spent time in prison for the crime he commited. He's paid his price and now should be allowed to get back to work.
That said, would like a player like him for Ireland but I do not think he has any eligibility.
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
