SUPERTOON

both spot on.

Have a good feeling about this one. 1-1

A squad player, no more than that.

When you get clowns like Jason calling him a scumbag and bringing up the jail time on the back of 1 bad performance, of course people are gonna get defensive. Dickhead fans of other clubs will never stop going on about his past, we don't need it from our own. Especially when it's completely unjust. Bad performance today, that's all that needed to be said. Exactly.

Spot on. Would Tiote get this reaction if he played this badly?

No there not, if Tiote has a bad game, people say it is ony one game. If it's Barton, he is a thug, he has been to jail, he is a c***. Who mentioned jail, like? Chubby Jason.

Tbf, don't think he had many other options today. On a positive as well, he will/should never play Colo as a DM again.

No there not, if Tiote has a bad game, people say it is ony one game. If it's Barton, he is a thug, he has been to jail, he is a c***.

How do you feel he has let us down then?

So that means he can't be criticised? Of course he's been one of our best players, but he was bloody atrocious today. One bad game hardly calls for some of the stick he is getting on here.

It is one game ffs.

Can't believe the reaction to his performance, Barton has probably been our best player this season, only a handful of poor games.

You not watched the way he has carried this season like.

Loan him out next season or sell him, won't be good enough for the prem until he plays at regularly, if at all then.

That interview was from weeks ago, since then he been quality apart from today.

Everyone saying Barton should shut his mouth, wasn't the interview that was in the english press from a french journalist from months ago?

Aye it can, cos unless it's a Tesco's extra it'll have shut at 4

This bloke has carried us at times this season, one poor performance is allowed.

Eh?

I'm not, he won't, sell him.

Oh ffs come on! No Nolan, no Tiote, No Shola, No Best, Colo in midfield, Saylor starting...get a grip. Have a word with yourself will you. We can't pass a ball two yards.

We really miss him when he doesn't play. At least when he is on the pitch, we have a chance to score.

you sound surprised we're playing rubbish without our best cms and strikers No excuse for not being able to pass a couple of yards.

Play like this and we can still go down, this is horrible.

So this is why Pardew won't start Ranger.
