Exceptional. Will that do? Superlative. Magnificent. Tremendous. Incomparable. Greater than great.

If Joey Barton were a dog, his owners would have stuck him in a big sack with some rockery artefacts and dumped him in the Ship Canal by now. The only thing more amusing than his Twitter rambling b  ks are the idiots who somehow believe he's a misunderstood intelligent genius for making them.

Perhaps that'll be Messi's epitaph. In years to come, inscribed on his gavestone: "Here lies Lionel Messi....he was even better than the great Joey Barton" In Spanish obviously!

Banned for 12 games. Shame it's not 12 years.

Apparently he's going to fight the ban. Presumably by sticking the nut on it & elbowing it in the back.

Joey Barton's ban was calculated on the number of years he's been a t t since the turn of the century.

The FA seem to be of a similar opinion- and there's plenty there who would love to make an example of tevez. However, what Barton did was unbelievable IMO.and while it is a "mans game" and "a contact sport" there's no place for Psychopaths.
