This is the sad truth Gutted that he's going but I guess this situation was inevitable as soon as he was transfer listed. Well done to those c***s, Ashley and Llambias for forcing another one of our key players out Ignoring his own words(and McKays) that he had all but agreed a deal hinging on him wanting an extra year, then deciding to call off talks til the summer(and twittergate) aye it was all their doing......... Was going to edit my post saying that Barton should share some of the blame too for his Twitter ramblings, obviously I'm too late to do so Deciding to free transfer one of your better players because of his twitter ramblings is akin to me killing your wife and kids because you stepped on my toe. Barton is hardly blameless though. His Twitter touched Ashley's nerve - it's the whole "don't post stuff about your employer" argument again really. To clarify I do mainly blame the c***s from above.

They'll be lucky to finish 5th tbh.

its that I'm struggling to make any sense of Severing all his ties with the club, so in that sense he's definitely off... don't think any other player who's moved has done that Its frankly quite mental, really really strange, drama queen coming out in him again i think. The most logical explanation for him unfollowing NUFC players on Twitter really. Aye, thinking about it, it does make sense...

My mackem mates hail from Birtley and South Shields.

Would have been the ideal situation given the circumstances of the last few months.

This last sentence is a very key one...

So this is likely to happen:

Guess that's another sign of him properly going - severing ties with anyone from NUFC.

That's a bit too optimistic.... Like I've said, as the day goes on, the more I feel resigned to losing Barton to F***ING QPR.

So a stunt then? Oh please let it be.
