Joey Barton

For Fantasy Football, what is the likelihood of him being fit for your match today?

For real life, I'd like to ask the same question?

Same, although Pardew has said he's improving and that it will be a late call again. We'll see, Ireland may well end up starting as far as we know.

Touch and go for Barton, Sky said Ireland is out.

 

[Batmanu Eboue]

Ok thanks

Ireland's touch and go too, he picked up a slight strain on Thursday according to Pardew so could still feature today.

Touch and go means out really. None of our players ever pass late fitness tests. Carroll was "touch and go" for about six weeks before we sold him.

We'll see come 3pm, I'd like to see Ireland feature though. It sounds like Pardew is impressed with what he's seen in training from him.

Taken him out of my FF team just in case, so he'll probably be fit!
