Said it in the other thread but that free kick was fantastic and from miles out too. Big bonus if we have the likes of him and Ritchie a threat from set pieces.

Wew Gayle's free kick was mint.

Shane Duffy man, fucking hell

Link doesn't work for me, leffe

It's hilarious how Barton feels he can comment on the goings-on at Man City with any credibility. Didn't exactly represent them very well himself: 2004: February Barton red-carded for the first time in Manchester City's FA Cup fourth-round tie at Tottenham, for two bookable offences. April Barton storms out of Eastlands before kick-off after being axed from team to face Southampton. July Criticised by City manager Kevin Keegan for causing mass brawl in a pre-season friendly at Doncaster. December Stubs lit cigar in the eye of young team-mate Jamie Tandy during City's Christmas party. Fined six weeks' wages by the club. Forced to pay four weeks' salary - approximately £60,000 - immediately, with a further two weeks suspended for a year. Tandy later sued Barton, winning £65,000 in damages. 2005: July Involved in altercation with a 15-year-old Everton fan at City's team hotel in Bangkok during a pre-season tour. Fined eight weeks' wages by City after being found guilty of gross misconduct. 2006: September Drops his shorts in the direction of Everton fans following City's 1-1 draw at Goodison Park. December - Shown the second red card of his career - this time a straight red - for a two-footed lunge on Abdoulaye Faye in City's 2-0 home defeat to Bolton. 2007: May Suspended by City after training-ground altercation with Ousmane Dabo, which leaves his team-mate needing hospital treatment. Charged with assault, and on July 1 2008 receives a four-month suspended jail sentence. Also punished by FA with a 12-match ban - six matches of which are suspended and a £25,000 fine. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/bad-boy-joey-bartons-bust-ups-862234

Joey Barton in being an utter gobshite shocker.

The timing of them getting upset seems a bit odd btw, they barely won a game for 6 months and now they're kicking off after they lose their first game of this season?

Players/fans start seeing through his bullshit IMO.

Yeah, the geordies with their unrealistic expectations were remarkably, and in this case depressingly, patient with him compared to the average set of fans.

Oh that's Sow Domi.

They need to stand on their hands and throw it with their feet IIRC.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/7480136/Joey-Barton-thanks-Newcastle-fans-and-is-confident-of-club-return-to-Premier-League.html An interview with him on 19/03/10 when he'd been out injured for six months and was just about getting fit. Really annoys me when people (him included) go on like he was integral to our promotion, after a while it becomes accepted fact even though it's bollocks. He was good for us until Christmas the following season and that's about it.

Barton was out injured for most of our promotion season but popped up again towards the end to revel in glory he had little to do with. Wiki says he made 15 appearances but to be honest I'm surprised it was that high. Midfield was generally Guthrie-Nolan-Smith-Jonas before January transfer window and Routledge-Nolan-Guthrie-Jonas once we'd signed Routledge.

Harsh.

Did he deliver this message in a Wyatt Family-esque WWE promo? I dont think so? Ah reet fair do's

Did he deliver this message in a Wyatt Family-esque WWE promo?

Exactly. Apparently wanted Santon as well and has also went after old NUFC targets.

Most uninspiring keepy-ups I've ever seen, glad we didn't sign him.

Horrible news, RIP. Was a canny player when I was just old enough to be getting into football in the early to mid 90s.

Sure to prattle on about "when oi woz iz gaffer at newcarsoo" despite that lasting all of a month, the utter creep.

Yeah that was a good run, anyone who saw the games saying otherwise must be being contrary for the sake of... Oh, hang on.

Hope they have a horrible horrible season. Wankers.

Amazed we weren't all 11.
