What really fucks me off about this is that there have been far worse incidents this season and fuck all gets done about them. I'm of the opinion that Cabaye was being naughty there, which would warrant a ban, but Lescott gets away with much worse. Why aren't refs pulled over controversial incidents, yes they are only human but so are footballers. Footballers and managers can get punished for their mistakes and they are made an example of. A truly bad ref incident ends up them taking a championship game for a week. Ex refs are forever defending current refs saying its a difficult job, well relatively so is being a footballer, footballers are on the same pitch as the referee and has to make split second decisions. No doubt in my mind Cabaye made an error in judgement in lashing out but I feel hard done by because Lescott got away with his as did Crouch. IMO Webb did not want to admit missing two major incidents, surely there are people in the FA who disagree and should be able to question his reasoning.

A bit harsh there aren't we Ray? I like the nasty side to him, as long as he doesn't over step the mark. He was silly v Brighton and I don't think we'd have much to argue about apart from stuff like Lescot's forearm and Crouch's caress across the face were worse. When him and Tiote play there is a steel to our team.

Isn't that more likely to be the fact they knew they were going to be offski, so wanted a bit more special adulation? Plus Nolan was on crutches. Didn't Joey do the highland fling with Nolan's kid?

I think a lot of us put up with Barton during his time here because he was one of our better players, that was my feelings on him. I didn't feel we were in a position to lose him. I think even if we held on to him this season the negatives would have outweighed the positives. It's just a relief that he's being controversial on another clubs pay packet and now ours. Some of his tweets are cringeworthy and he really thinks he is above most people. He'll pick and choose his battles. For whatever reason he wasn't calling Jack Wilshire a #helmet after they had a small twitter exchange after the Arsenal game. Yet other people/players with smaller personalities he seems to attack with full venom.

Did anyone see the massive Troll that Bayern did to their fans yesterday? I wouldn't even like to imagine the carnage if Derek or Mike did this to us. Then again we get a mini version of it most January's. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3275/bundesliga/2012/01/26/2867648/bayern-munich-bomb-signing-is-a-publicity-stunt

And this is the guy who is going to be the next England manager? Seriously if true, then this alone should disqualify him from any role for England Bollox what about the last minute super duper two mobiles transfer deadline day. Anyone associated with Spurs or Harry Redknapp should be fully embarrassed by the last couple of days.

I wonder if other fan message boards are having as much fun as us with this case.

He really is as thick as he looks if he thinks that excuse can work. If that's his defence his defence team have nothing do they? As someone has mentioned if his accountant does everything for him why was he/she not needed to open a fackin' bank account in a fackin' foreign country. My word! What a cunt!

Those tweets are like a child moaning at school. Its almost as if he HAS to be in conflict with someone. I would say those tweets are bordering on bringing the FA into disrepute. Clearly he has muddied the guidelines on betting in football which is very sensitive and IMO the FA are well within their rights to nip it in the bud. It's also protecting Barton I suppose. I know its all petty but Joey is being just as petty. The more and more that he is tweeting the more a dick he is looking. Telling everyone to bore off a few weeks ago and then asking people to re-tweet about a petition. Shows how hypocritical he is really.

I wonder who will take pens? He looks super cool from 12 yards, dare I say it he looks more assured than Demba? Demba > Demba

That's a very lovely photo and everything.....BUT WHERE'S THE ITK INFO!!!!! Worse disguise since Superman!!

Ferrah Orosco must be a mag on a wind up, surely not even THEY are that delusional. On another note Ferrah Orosco was the bollox on Champ Man 93/94 (what an old bastard I am by the way)

Well, hello to you too! Hitler's Illegitimate love child is chasing the the fucker.

Wouldn't say so. I think he does his best work in the penalty box... more of a poacher from what I've seen of him. He's got pace, movement, mobility and, of course, finishing. Him and Demba upfront..... f***ing hell. Basically the Anti-Shola??? But can he eat and apple and ride a bike? AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME. Ba and Cisse what a striker force. Senegal and France are now my joint favourite nations. But I want Senegal to be knocked out of the ACoN at the earliest point so we can unleash the beasts on the Premiership!

Yeah Emile Fucking Heskey. Enjoy!!

Nah Shola will still be here for that Maybe he'll get a call up too!

For all we know, he'll turn up pass the medical but have a shit smile and Pardew doesn't do shit smiles. Far from a done deal, so I'm with Richy on this one.

Pardew out. - Lying prick!

Can't believe the Hate Hate Love Hate Hate relationship we have with this board. What an awesome out of the blue signing this would be. Come Jan 31st it will be hate again - probably.

Is it me or is his tie a bit oversized as well? I like skinny ties myself but that looks a bit chunkier than the standard tie? The half/waist coat is unexplainable. Shocking, when you have Gary Nev twittering Simmo on it you know its a garbage look.

Ba leaving now would be a disaster in so many ways. At the moment he's almost the difference between a top 7 finish and bottom half of the table finish.

As some has said, all clubs have a racist element and all clubs will have fans who are not really racist but shout out stupid shit but Liverpool will be scrutinised even more than other clubs given their stance on Suarez. There is no way anyone should accept this behaviour regardless of what they earn, if the fans was just calling him garbage then fair enough but singling him out for being a different colour is unacceptable.

This maybe a bit of a but I just read Redknapp's comments. When is a senior manager/personality in the game going to call him on this shit? Fucking loveable Arry, would love it if Pardew came out and told him to keep his nose out of our business. It was good to see Lambert pull Warnock on what he was saying, its one thing for a young up and coming manager to pull up an old dinosaur and cunt like Warnock, but it would be something else to see everyone's cuddly bear tackled on this shit.

Man Utd were poor but I think that's all credit to us, we forced them on to the back foot. I don't think we had anyone with a poor performance. So many good performances. Special mention to Colo, Santon, Cabaye, Tiote and Ba. Simmo and Shola more than played their part to.

The speed of the incident makes me think it wasn't pre meditated, I think Cabaye was lucky that Spearing flew in like he did, took the emphasis away from Cabaye. I think it was poor from Cabaye but it look horrendous slowed down not as bad normal time. I don't think we could complain much about a red.
