FOOTIE TWEETS: Neymar still doesn't impress Barton, Collymore wants Walcott, Wilshere for England

Joey Barton has already told the Twitter world that he is not all too impressed by Brazilian youngster Neymar.

The Santos ace was again in action for A Selecao in a friendly against Russia at Stamford Bridge on Monday night and again he did not impress the Marseille loanee…neither did the rest of the Brazil team apparently.

On Neymar he added:

Speaking of youtube, Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva and fellow Brazilian Leandro Damiao were fairly happy with Internacional's version of the Harlem Shake.

Sunderland's Connor Wickham revels in helping the England U21s to a ninth-straight win with a 4-0 result over Austria at the Amex Stadium.

Arsenal's Jack Wilshere was delighted to see the young Gunners into the NextGen semi-final where they will take on Chelsea later this month.

Stan Collymore feels England need two of Arsenal's stars in their starting line-up.

Stoke keeper Asmir Begovic is a fan of Jason Bateman comedies.

Whilst Norwich City's Kei Kamara would rather cast his peepers towards a less attractive program.

Anderlecht midfielder Sacha Kljestan was busy using his frequent flyer points trying to get back to Belgium after USA's 0-0 draw with Mexico at the Azteca.

And Barton chimed in again, suggesting he is now a France supporter after jumping off his national England who were held to a 1-1 draw by Montenegro on Tuesday night.
