Just seen the Mars bar ad, he's eaten far too many.

Don't Diss Barnes 👿

He certainly has filled out since his professional footballing days!

Fat git!

He's eating for England, Eng-er-land!

Fat useless git!

You missed out a word, I have corrected it for you.

catch him if you can cos he's an england man

He was declared bankrupt last year – so he's got to get some money somehow.

Excellent at club level. Think people expected too much at national level. Especially after his famous goal against Brazil. He did always look like a secret piw eater tho.

He used to come into Chester McDonald's when I worked there.

LOL (probably declared bankrupt to avoid paying a big loan back) shame he could manage a team well like he did in the Jamaican leagues.

I'm not a Liverpool fan but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmAo0uiarvA

He had to so much racism but still played well under the monkey chants-Fair play to him.

Too true! I was at Wembley in 93 for England v Holland and he was getting boos and assorted abuse from the start, after about 4 or 5 mins England had a free kick just outside the box out to the right a bit, he stepped up after all the abuse and put in into the top corner!

Soon shut the idiots up that did!

He was also my first 'favourite' player as a kid!

a few months back when he was managing Tranmere Rovers he used to ride to the ground every morning……..and I used to fly past him every morning with a cheery 'good morning'. After a couple of weeks he was a tad faster though, too many Mars definitely!

Well he is in his late 40's!

We saw that last night and were gobsmacked how much of a chuff he was! Mr MC is adamant it's a looky likie and not the real deal!

i'm reliably informed he was at the asda offices in leeds the other day which would tie in with a food campaign. Did the world in motion rap too. 🙂

THE most over rated footballer ever to wear an England shirt

I caught a glimpse of the ad the other day and thought it was some fat bloke doing a piss take of the world in motion England song for Mars – then I realised it was actually Barnes 😯

Really? One of the Nevilles ( can't remember which one is really rubbish)
Peter Crouch? Heskey?

Barnes was no all time great but I am sure I have seen worse in an england shirt

THE most over rated footballer ever to wear an England shirt

are you sure about that? Anyone remember Carlton Palmer?

Carlton Palmer – yup – he was rather useless

steve macmanaman was far to overrated.

In his prime at about 1:18

He was very polite to my wife the other day, seems like a nice chap.

Saw him at the barbers a few weeks back, was just Mr Ordinary.

Best thing is I didn't feel such a bifter next to him either 😉

Think people put a lot of pressure on Barnes. He was top class for liverpool, but never did it for England despite plenty of opportunity. He wasn't that bad, but was never even close to how good he was for Liverpool, and his career came to an end at a low point for England. We'd just finished 4th in the world cup, graham Taylor takes over and we have a disastrous euro 92 and miss out on USA 94.
There are plenty of players that couldn't make the step up from club to international, but Barnes was one of the most disappointing.

Heskey does a holding job for England & it works well(does **** all for Villa though..).
Crouch has a great goals to games ratio,20 goals in 37 games.Why people always think he's rubbish is beyond me,he's big & lanky so what, he does the job he's meant to do…
Phil Neville wasn't the best,but Barnes was rubbish for England.Made all the worse because he was so good for Liverpool,even if he could just have found half of his club form for England he would have been raved about…..

See him all the time he lives around the corner. He is a porker.

Nowt wrong with being in your late 40s! 8)

Or eating Mars bars…………………

Or being a Porker….

Though some would disagree (see above^) 😕

Well its better than being a junkie like Gazza… 😆
