Barton strikes back at QPR fans but admits poor performance

The Loftus Road club found themselves 1-0 down when the former Newcastle midfielder was subsituted in the 62nd minute for Jamie Mackie.  And it was Mackie who provided the finishing touch to QPR's incredible 3-2 comeback against Liverpool after scoring the winner in the final minute of the game. Joey Barton is now 50/1 with Paddy Power to be included in England's Euro 2012 squad. After the game, 29-year-old Barton took to Twitter to express his dissapointment with his own personal performance and voice his opinions on the boo-boys. Barton said via his Twitter account: "I was awful tonight. Worst I've ever played in my career. "Disappointed with fans booing, were [sic] meant to be in it together. "They won't break me, guaranteed. I've been through much worse. "Enough of the negative **** anyway. What a ******* result, great spirit shown by the boys and loyal fans tonight. Not the bells that booed." Yet the hot-headed midfielder, who is no stranger to Twitter controversy, was quick to emphasise the importance of his team's win and his delight at the comeback. Barton also posted: "But we WON.......and that's the most important thing. Onwards and upwards. "Form is temporary, class is permanent."
