The crux of the article is total bollocks (Barton 'snubbed'), but it's a cracking choice of picture they've gone for.

Was thinking that too.

It's still a shame though about him not being able to play to a high level in the PL imo. I was cautiously optimistic that he would be different this time round in the PL when we got promoted and actually step up to the plate. Alas wasn't to be.

His corner in the Chelsea game in the Carling Cup that set up the winner was great too.

That would be really nice

If he is wanting 60k a week, would Villa actually offer him those kind of wages? I'm thinking yes if they sell Downing.

It is pitiful that they're clinging onto something that happened over 100 years ago. Idiots.

FYP. Concerning the subject at hand, it seems that a €35 million bid has indeed been made.

will sort it out on FIFA soon enough.

The 9-1 reference is one of the most pathetic things I've seen to date from a mackem.

Just had a random thought - a few years ago when Man U were playing in the UEFA Super Cup, I remember O'Shea congratulating Scholes for scoring a goal with a very blatant handball - that's my longlasting memory of John

The return of their former captain might just sway them.......nah () Who would actually take Perch....

I was working that night

Are you still thinking about putting that bet on? Definitely, if I ever get into a bookies and ask for a price.. what do you reckon it might be 10-1, 8-1? I reckon something like 25-1? Reason being that he's just come back from injury? Might make my first dabble in football betting if that's true. Next time I'm in town, will make a trip to William Hill and ask them what odds they'll give me. Will let you know!

As in bellend. First time I've heard it used in that context.

@Joey7Barton Joseph Barton He's getting off......am so happy what a #helmet Helmet?

Here's a stupid question , tickets for this aren't likely to sell out are they? I'm still waiting on my mate getting back to me about this game.

O'Shea pretty much confirmed: @LukeEdwardsTele Luke Edwards John O'Shea has signed for #safc to join Wes Brown at SoL. David Vaughan will finalise his move 2mrw morning

Just pictured an ambulance crew trying to remove a mobile from a blokes rectum.
