The joey barton thread

[LaurasOtherHalf]

He's never played for any of the teams I follow, but, it seams as if the guys only point in being is to cause controversy.

Is there anyone out there who thinks he might actually be a posative influence on a team?

I mean, he's been captain at at least a couple of clubs (qpr & newcastle?), have you ever seen a performance where you thought he was outstanding (rather than merely being a controversial talking point)?

So, Joey Barton, A Scouser who used to play for Man City, hands his former team-mates a massive advantage by getting sent off resulting in his former team winning the EPL (on goal difference).

Nothing strange about that at all....

I actually never thought of that

Interesting to hear that he's something arsenal need, I'm
Not entirely sure he's good enough for a "top four" team really?

it's interesting that for someone so intelligent he rarely seems to be able to admit he's wrong. we all make mistakes, obviously some worse than others but in reality what was he trying to achieve yesterday with tevez?
