I was just going to print this very same article ,pretty long article based on joey Barton pre prison and not the one who came out a different person imho ,its so easy to make assumptions on someone a few hundred miles away but he makes Joey out to be some sort of devil worshipping child killer ,has he ever heard Joey in interview and i stress 3 years ago he was a bit naughty after a Football Focus one but since he came out of prison he has kept his nose clean and apart from a couple of minor incidents on the pitch has been a model professional,Going back to that tackle and i have watched it over and over from every angle he went in clean and no problem with that and also pulled Nolan off there keeper so hardly a thug .SOUR GRAPES
