Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

You know people have a vendetta, when the only argument they have is that the challenge used excessive force. One footed, studs down, head to head, and won the ball, all boxes ticked as far as everyone should be concerned.

 

It was against Arsenal man, everyone knows you can't tackle against Arsenal.

.com made a very valid point about Sidwell's serious injury inflicting challenge on Shola, about which not a word was said.

Can you imagine the uproar and media campaigns if Barton had done something similar ?

There is no real justice, but a whole lot of prejudice as illustrated by the leniency shown towards the thug Henry when we played Wolves earlier this season.

Is that a dog, grabbing a chicken, pulling it into his homeless man's box, and then raping said chicken?

 

Its a "chicken" avatar which are all the rage on these forums.

Bit of a double standard how the hardcore Arsenal fans will look the other way when Fabregas goes after refs, yaps in their faces, waves imaginary cards, etc., or Wenger's regular post-match whingeing about the refs. 

 

If folks want to deal in conspiracies -- or just basic human psychology -- Sunday's result was the bed Arsenal made for themselves.  If you single out refs, what do you think the rest of the ref fraternity will do, roll over for you or side with their own?  Gooner folks need to look in the mirror.  Too many metaphors going on here, so I'll just slide down the pole and put this duck to rest for now.

Newcastle. Some Arsene Wenger can take responsibility for, some were simply outside of his control. Ultimately, a shocking refereeing performance by Phil Dowd, arguably the worst ever witnessed in the history of the Premier League, enabled Newcastle to equalize, but the Gunners allowed the game to reach  in this country.

 

I don't think i'll ever be able to take Arsenal fans seriously again tbh :lol:

Stopped being funny and started being pathetic now like.

 

They're up their own arses. "The only way we could possibly lose a game was if the referee handed it to the opposition" when in reality, the moment that Joey Barton's first penalty hit the back of the net, they were a beaten side. I've never seen such a 'great team' fold so easily.

OMG that site is crazy. The worrying thing is all their fans agree with him. Conspriracy against Arsenal, worst ref of all time. Barton shouldn't be allowed to challenge for a ball and wion it cleanly with no studs showing because he could so easily have broken the dear gooners leg had he gone in 2 foot with studs up. Awful awful ref lost us the game.

 

Fuck off Arsenal fans seriously just fuck off.

They keep missing that over 90 minutes we had 55% possession, a lot more shots, corners and crosses than they did, not to mention a perfectly good goal disallowed.  Much easier just to blame the ref.

Des Kelly from the Mail puts his point across. At least he admits his bias from the off despite not giving him the credit he deserves.

 

I genuinely can't think of another player this good to be blacklisted by the national team.

 

Cassano in Italy might compare slightly?

I dont get the "I cannot stand Joey Barton" bit like, he's probably one of the best spoken footballers (who give regular interviews) there is, and actualy comes across as a decent bloke. There's nothing at all to "not stand" tbh.

 

I realise he means that he dislikes the man for what he has done in the past, but it just highlights the ott stance people seem to take on the matter.
