Barton tweet 18 hrs ago "Sold?? Not a chance matey. Am here till it (deal) expires or am given a free transfer..." So, you've been given a free transfer you attention seeking pleb, please go.

Joey7Barton Joseph Barton One day the board might realise, what the shirt signifies. HONOUR and PRIDE. Thanks for your continued support........... #toonarmy

Joey7Barton Joseph Barton I am on a free but the honour of wearing those B+W stripes, surpasses that

Joey7Barton Joseph Barton Somewhere in those high echelons of NUFC, they have decided, I am persona non grata.

Fuck me Joey, it's 1:50am here and you're giving me nothing. You're lucky that the test match is on otherwise I'd be very pissed off.

OptaJoke OptaJoke 77 - The last time Joey Barton was released from somewhere, he had just spent 77 days in prison. Strangeways.

oh noez we're going to go down

He's late!

Gerrin, now don't hold back Joey, tell us EXACTLY what's been going on Got his chance now. Can he be believed though?

lee_ryder Lee Ryder #nufc I'm hearing Joey Barton has been released

Pardew said that Willo needed a bit more game time as he looked a bit rusty still yesterday. He missed the tour of America, so it's probably fair enough.

Now he's started too

Forster and Harper in the same squad is strange. A half each?

Was reading Barton tweeting some guy yesterday who said 'look at the messageboards, nobody respects you like they once did' Maybe Joey has had a read of this thread and now wants to leave?

Newcastle United Squad: Mehdi Abeid, Phil Airey, Samuel Ameobi, Ryan Donaldson, Paul Dummett, Fraser Forster, Steve Harper, Jeffrey Henderson, Greg McDermott, Yven Moyo, Patrick Nzuzi, Nile Ranger, Michael Richardson, Alan Smith, James Tavernier, Ryan Taylor, Haris Vuckic, Mike Williamson That's teh squad to play Gateshead tomorrow.

Putting 2+2 together, tells me that this huge announcement is to say that he won't be using twitter any more. Of course, my 2+2 could = 5

MsiDouglas Mark Douglas Whatever the announcement is, the club know about it. It's not Joey going rogue again... #nufc ... so if it was serious, would the club not announce it first?

Barton is better. Plus we have no money to spend, and we will not get Barnetta for the same price as Barton will fetch. 1) Barton is not better 2) Barton is a cunt 3) Barnetta is younger 4) Barnetta will be on less wages, meaning that the transfer fee will get subsidised by what we're saving

MsiDouglas Mark Douglas #NUFC had lined up Tranquilo Barnetta as Joey Barton's replacement if he left. Could movement there have prompted Joey's ire?

I have no respect for people who slander their employers in public though, and I'm beginning to think not offering him a contract extension is the right decision. More trouble than he's worth.

This poses the question - Steven Taylor (goal-scorer) or Mike Williamson?

Needless comparison is needless, and wrong Raylor a LB Wasn't counting the shitty Asian teams tbh, just the opponents that could actually stand up.

Andy Carroll hasn't scored in pre-season yet either.

Enrique slight hamstring apparently. Hmmm
