it's reminiscent of a 12-year-old in the offset of hormone development!

:lol:

 

/Fecking illiterate journos though; in the interview he does say 'onset' rather that 'offset'.

 

Plenty of those about.  :thup:

When did the scottish c*** tip us to go down?

 

He was on Sky Sports news last night telling the world that he is pleased that Blackpool got promoted as it 'freshens up the league'

Amongst his other insights were:-

Man Utd or Chelsea will win the league

If Arsenal dfend better they will have a good season

Liverpool will be better than last year

Blackpool will struggle

Man City have an excellent squad but may take time to gel

Newcastle could go down as 'it is the same squad that took us down'

West Brom will stay up as 'Roberto' isn't as naive as Tony Mowbray and will change the way West Brom play

 

And he gets paid to spout this sh*t

Barton Aims For Razor Sharp Start

 

By Dan King

 

Joey Barton has even more reason than most to hope that Newcastle can get off to the perfect start to their Barclays Premier League season at Old Trafford on Monday. For three points against Manchester United will mean he can finally shave off the facial hair he has been sporting for the last few weeks.

 

The growth above Barton's top lip has been a talking point amongst fans and team-mates alike as the Magpies' mustachioed midfield maetro has shone in pre-season. And, speaking to nufcTV, he has revealed the story behind it.

 

"It started out with about eight of us getting together and we were saying to each other 'you couldn't grow a beard,'" he said. "One thing led to another and before I knew it, I'd agreed to grow a moustache.

 

"It was meant to be for the Sky Sports photos (shown in the line-ups before each game) but they have been and gone, so we said it would be until we got our first win.

 

"So it could be here for a while longer if we don't get off to a good start - but hopefully it'll be gone soon."

 

Barton has been on the receiving end of plenty of banter at United's Darsley Park Training Centre and admitted: "I'm hopeful I'll get rid of it, because I know how ridiculous it is! It's got a bit of flack and a few people have said it's ridiculous - and my missus is one of them!

 

"There are a few knocking about. Ryan Taylor had one and shaved it off, Alan Smith's got one and Andy Carroll has one, but it's reminiscent of a 12-year-old in the offset of hormone development! It's just a bit of banter and the lads are buzzing off it."

 

But with a tough test at Old Trafford on Monday, the Merseysider added: "There's always banter, but we're professional when we need to be and over the weeked, the onus will shift towards Monday night's game and how we appoach that.

 

"You won't see as much laughing and joking - but we'll still be just as together."

What a crazy group of lads this group of lads are.

From Wiki.

 

'Joey Barton has recently grown a moustache, to play a part in a Liverpudlian porn film, if Newcastle fail to stay up this season. He has begun filming, but will only give permission for the film to be produced if his club fail to stay in the Premiership'

After 12 months out of the spotlight in the relative backwaters of the Championship, little has really changed for Barton or his club.

 

The former Manchester City player remains a magnet for yellow cards and his side still appear as defenceless as a zebra in the headlights. New season, same old story.

 

Within just 20 minutes of Newcastle’s Premier League return against Manchester United, Barton had been booked for a trademark late tackle on Nani and Fabricio Coloccini, the shaggy-permed centre-half, had blindly passed across the face of goal straight into the path of Dimitar Berbatov.

 

Relegation was supposed to be a cathartic experience for Newcastle, their chance to banish the circus from St James’ Park and start again.

 

True, Chris Hughton’s team proved the sceptics wrong by bouncing back at the first attempt, racing to the Championship title as they secured promotion with a 23-point cushion between themselves and third place.

 

But a summer in which they have spent £1 million on reinforcements has done little to sustain the confidence and morale generated by their promotion campaign.

 

When Kevin Keegan’s Premier League newcomers faced United at Old Trafford in their second top-flight away game in the 1993-94 campaign, Andy Cole’s goal earned Newcastle a 1-1 draw and propelled the club towards European qualification that season.

 

There are no Coles or Peter Beardsleys in Hughton’s team, however. It is all about the midfield axis of Barton and Alan Smith, so expect more bruises than brilliance from the Toon this time around. That is where Barton comes in.

 

Remarkable as it now seems, the midfielder won his only England cap in a friendly against Spain at Old Trafford in February 2007.

 

Little has gone right for the Liverpudlian since then, on or off the pitch, but with such a chequered track record, Newcastle is where he will have to rehabilitate his career.

 

His last Premier League outing, against Newcastle at Anfield in May 2009, ended with a red card for hacking down Xabi Alonso, but he at least escaped a repeat of that ignominy against United.

 

Having been booked 19 minutes into the game, however, for his lunge at Nani, Barton’s participation in the fixture was in peril with every subsequent challenge. Whenever he wound up for a challenge, the 3,500 Newcastle fans held their breath. The same thing happens when the ball is delivered into the Newcastle penalty area.

 

Fullback James Perch struggled to repel the dual threat of Nani and Patrice Evra down the left flank, while partnering Coloccini was akin to wearing lead boots for the unfortunate Mike Williamson.

 

The positives? This was Manchester United at Old Trafford, so it was a demanding first day back at school for Hughton’s players. Barton has insisted he will only shave off his facial decoration once Newcastle record their first victory back in the top flight, so he will be hoping his team-mates acclimatise quickly to their new surroundings.

What claiming we were awful against a team like Man U. Hardly a fantastic or well thought out article. The fact Barton was late was very much a none story. Following that with claiming we're relegation bound after one game against Man U makes him as bad as the rest really.

Barton is the player who best resembles a central midfielder in our team but he's so slow these days it's difficult to see where his best position will be. Not quick enough to support the front men as an attacking midfielder, and a terrible tackler so no use as a holding player either.

We're the perfect club for collecting these players; Butt, Smith, Nolan........
