I doubt he'll get incarcerated, the worst he'll get is prison. Let's hope you're right!

It's not even as if we have played fantastic football consistently since Robson's regime anyway. Given the choice of Souness/Roeder football (shit and losing) or Allardyce football (functional if not exactly total football, winning) what kind of idiot would not see the latter as preferable?

I'm Happy. Lawro is a tosser.

He is nailed-on to score the winner in the return fixture with you this season, if he's not incarcerated

His brother had similar problems. I agree like, let his football do the talking. lol

Hehe. He definitely still has an axe to grind with you like. TBH I'd prefer it if he did his talking on the pitch, does come across as a bit bitter

Wouldn't say Taylor was a cunt like. Just a lot to learn.

He's making specific reference to Taylor in that article though..

You should work for The Sun.

Pretty sure it can't be real like.

Still don't like the look of that link.

The bastard son of Mike Riley

Keane's on & off-field volatility - ie. where he did seek to end a player's career, in a premeditated act of revenge - never stopped him from being the sort of dominant captain others should aspire to be. Barton shares a few of Keane's traits. He plays with drive & purpose and leads by example, and he expects others to follow suit. He'll lay harsh criticism if they don't, and like Keane he's seen as being 'politically incorrect' or too forward/straight talking in the media. Barton is a breath of fresh air in this sense, and to compliment the attributes already mentioned he's a good player. And what's often not spoken about, and this is often forgotten about amidst his reputation for being a thug or as others have cited 'a complete ****ing mentalist', is that he's an intelligent player going forward - off the ball that is. Barton, during his career at City, put himself in too many scoring positions over the course of his journey there and as such he couldn't be labelled as a player that a hit a purple patch of form - ie. goals from midfield - ala Parker prior to moving to Chelsea. It's an indication that he reads the play well and anticipates when & where a '2nd chance opportunity' might arise in & around the box. It doesn't bother me in the slightest if he lays the occasional headbutt, or any other act of aggression in the heat of the moment. Like Keane he's a passionate individual come matchday, and of course out on the training pitch as well. As such these mind-blanks, or flashpoints of craziness, are the by-product that comes hand-in-hand with this sort volatility. When the inevitable first flashpoint does arrive i hope he doesn't get shouted out of town - by the 'do-gooder' types who first jumped on the Anti-Bellamy bandwagon when the so-called Welsh dwarf by their own estimation publically embarassed the club when he justifiably called the manager a prick when substituted, when a match was there for the taking, for reasons that were not football related.; I find your comment irrelevant when in it comes to the captain issue and this is based on Keane's aggressive/in-your-face leadership style, and i do think these type of dismissive/shallow remarks originate from a 'moral high ground' train of thought. Keane did his assaulting on the pitch. Barton in the past hasn't. That's not captain behaviour.

Where previous managers would appear blind to obvious failings, Big Sam appears to acknowledge them immediately. Wise words for Taylor, let's hope he heeds them.

Naa, I think I would go on incapacity benefit Hilarious btw, you really should be on Channel 4. Cheers

I'm not going to click that link.

I will assume the best until he fucks up big time. Maybe he won't, you never know

Naa, I think I would go on incapacity benefit

You 100% sure about that? million percent tbh. Here's Linvoy Primus' 2007-08 appearance record thus far: Total (Club) 0 (0) 0 0 0 League 0 (0) 0 0 0 FA Cup 0 (0) 0 0 0 League Cup 0 (0) 0 0 0 European/Others 0 (0) 0 0 0 How sure did you say? Best post ever. Haha! Superb.

Cue witty comment about the toon's being small enough to write on Mr Small's nob..

I'm well surprised, all sources indicated that he was some sort of loaded hermit who we would be lucky to see being ushered from limousine to boardroom. Instead he is getting twatted in the Bigg Market and jumping up and down like a kid in the milburn. Top man.

If this guy stops assaulting people I would be delighted for him to be our captain. Proves there is such a thing as an intelligent scouser.

Shame we got rid of Boumsong, sure Souness would have been happy to shell out a tidy sum to take him to the reebok

Ashley looks a bit parky with no coat on
