Sports writers are queuing up to badmouth this much misunderstood English patriot. Any red-blooded, pallid-skinned, emotional Englishman would have kicked, butted and elbowed these foreign mercenaries, at least one of them heavily tattooed, if only in honest indignation at finding them in an English team playing an English game. As one who finds football boring as a rule, I was briefly tempted to say that Barton's sturdy and robust English behaviour 'made a boring event more interesting', but something prevented me. He's not just a pretty face. He has brains as well as heart, elbow and knee, as his clinical facebook dissection of the disgraceful jumped-up pretentious thugs Alan Shearer And Gary Lineker demonstrates.

You've been reading the Daily Mail too much, AC. It has inspired an outpouring of vicious irony worthy of Jonathan Swift. I can't wait for the opening of the "closet of skeletons" that the honourable Mr Barton has promised, which will apparently be the undoing of the egregious Mr Lineker.

The only rattling in Lineker's closet is likely to be empty crisp packets. Reply to this message | Report message

Don't think he (Lineker) did himself any favours by getting involved (tweets) though - should have just kept a dignified silence IMO. Reply to this message | Report message

Shearer was always more than happy to dish out an elbow in the face. I seem to remember he did it once to a lower league player in a cup match, who then , very successfully, retaliated in kind a few minutes later. I don't know what was funnier, his busted face, or watching him bleat on about it, playing the wronged man, and looking for sympathy. Reply to this message | Report message

Shearer could look after himself - they breed them tough at Wallsend Boys' Cub. I recall seeing Shearer squaring up to Roy Keane - Keane backed down. It would have been a good scrap - Bog Irish v the meaner streets of Newcastle. Reply to this message | Report message

I know Lineker is relatively cultured, but I don't think you get to score as many goals as he did in top flight football without being physically quite tough? Reply to this message | Report message

>> I recall seeing Shearer squaring up to Roy Keane - Keane backed down. Not sure if this is the incident you mean. www.youtube.com/watch?v=10WpPVyoAZ0 If it is, Keane was very far from backing down, but Shearer was pretty cool. Reply to this message | Report message

A thoroughly unpleasant piece of work that, if you had a daughter, you would not wish her to bring home no matter how famous he may be. Should be banned from football pitches sine die.

Lineker, allegedly, never received a single red or yellow card in his entire career as a footballer. Having watched him play in the 80s, this might have been because all he seemed to do was what we at school referred to as "goal hanging". Reply to this message | Report message

"Lineker has many skeletons from the past..." You seem to want us to believe you know something. Do tell us. We promise to keep it secret. Last edited by: FocalPoint on Tue 15 May 12 at 22:23 Reply to this message | Report message

>> I thought the rumours were common knowledge, but they are rumours. >> >> No-one dare repeat them for fear of litigation. Too late Mr Ecs already let the cat out of the bag, when he said that Lineker has many skeletons from the past. It's true, Lineker does have many skeletons. They are the victims that he has killed during his frequent blood lusts, where he roams the street of Tottenham, wearing nothing but a hockey mask and a pair of leather underpants. It is believed that he recently had to have an extension built to his house, to make room for more bodies. Nobody knows what happened to the builders, who never returned home. There, I said it. Let him sue me! Reply to this message | Report message
