Colocho Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Barton will sign a new contract, and Jose won't- That's pretty much how I see it going this summer. Fair prediction. Do you think we'll sell Jose in the summer or let him go on a free? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 He would have been on thne right, meaning Simo would have been at RB, meaning that Taylor wouldn't have been at RB, meaning that we would have actualy had a RB who knows that his job is not to be running towards the f***ing penalty spot leaving the left winger with about 40 yards of space. You do have a point. and yet many have had a go at simpson this season for backing off far too much, largely due to often being left isolated by barton. yes barton puts a shift in but the weakest part of his game is the defensive partnership with his full back, it's then he still looks like he's playing out of position. Taylor never backed off, he was just in the wring possission all together leading up to Arteta recieving the ball. Was poor defensive play all round like, not just Taylor.

We're much more dependent on Barton. He's been out for 5 games now and if I remember correctly we've not won one game with him on the sidelines.

No wins in those 6 and the two s*** performances against Bolton (a) and WBA (a). Six games? f*** me! Without Barton we have no distribution central. Finding a similar midfielder that is able to handle the knocks and tempo of PL without losing the ability to distribute balls is difficult and if we find him it is likely that he will cost a shitload of money. Together with Colo and Tiote, our most valuable player imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he was pretty much sprinting backwards away from Osman, he couodn't have doen much more once Arteta got the ball withought leaving himself exposed , but Arteta shouldnt have been able to recieve the ball as easily as he did.

SGSC Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 That was horrid from Taylor, he was actually in position when Arteta started running towards the box and when he was about 20 yards away from it, Taylor looks up at him and runs away from Arteta towards the middle of the box where the centrebacks were and left the entire wing open.

The fixture came just two days after Andy Carroll was sold to Liverpool, a decision which hit the dressing room hard given the striker’s importance to the team. “He carries his heart on his sleeve a little bit still, and there have been games we’ve played when I can think he’s been upset,” said Pardew. “When he’s upset, it can affect him. At Fulham he was upset about something – and I won’t go into reasons why – and he didn’t play well. “His set-plays were off that day, but he needs to be in a good place to play well.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Pardew: Barton can fulfil dreams at United ALAN PARDEW feels Joey Barton can fulfil all of his career aspirations at St James’ Park. Pardew believes Barton has turned his life around with Newcastle United – and the Toon boss has indicated he is keen for Scouse ace to play out his peak years at St James’ Park. Barton – whose contract talks have been put on hold until the end of the season – admitted recently he was more interested in reading books on “falconry and fishing” than nightlife exploits – and even said he was considering taking up gardening. Pardew is hoping Barton is back from a thigh problem for the crunch clash with Stoke City on Saturday at the Britannia Stadium. He feels the midfielder has won back a lot of respect and turned into one of life’s examples after bouncing back from dark times to become one of form players in the Premier League. Barton has fought off his demons since a stint in jail in 2008 which he served for an assault charge on Merseyside four years ago. The ex-Manchester City player has also rebuilt his United career since a major fall-out with Alan Shearer two years ago and has battled back from a foot injury which decimated his season in the Championship. Barton has been badly missed in the last two matches and, with the Magpies in need of a spark to re-ignite their season, the Toon Army will be praying he is back for dogfight with Stoke as United look to close in on top-flight safety. United fans would also love to see Barton sign a new deal with the black-and-whites. Pardew told the Chronicle: “I’ve had a great relationship here with Joey. “He’s got four or five years, maybe six, still left at the very top. “And if he stays in the space he’s in now, he will have a successful period. “I think I understand him and, in my own way, I’ve tried to assist him and in the process he’s delivering.” The current campaign is Barton’s first injury-free season, up until his thigh problem, since he joined in 2007. Pardew added: “Make no doubt about it, he’s had help from Sporting Chance and his mentors, as well as Chris Hughton and me. “But it’s all about Joey – and he has to be able to see it through. “He doesn’t drink alcohol now and that is a wise decision given the character that he is, and you have to pay credit to him for that." Barton’s only real slip-up this season was a clash with Morten Gamst Pedersen during the defeat against Blackburn Rovers last year. The Merseysider quickly apologised for his actions and offered to take the Norwegian out to dinner to make amends. Pardew reflected: “Joey is not a normal footballer, he is quite eccentric. “His eccentricity extends to his game too and he does things on a football pitch that are eccentric at times. “That’s what makes him the player that he is. “He has been consistent on the pitch because he’s been consistent off it with his behaviour. “And Joey’s behaviour is a reflection of where he is at.” Pardew doesn’t want to take away his battling spirit and added: “He carries his heart on his sleeve a little bit still and there have been games we’ve played when I can see he’s been upset. “When he’s upset it can affect him. At Fulham he was upset about something – and I won’t go into reasons why – and he didn’t play well. “Nobody understands it better than himself, and no one has worked harder at it than him. “You have to pay him full tribute for that. “From where he was not that long ago it is a tremendous feat.” http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/03/14/pardew-barton-can-fulfil-dreams-at-united-72703-28331208/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't blame him either. I am a Barton fan, he's intelligent, articulate and I believe he's the best player in our squad - but if you have a contract until 2012 for (allegedly) 50 or 60 grand a week its not ok to stick your lip out. Whatever happens he's paid a shed load to do a job and he should get on with it. And you can factor in the fact that, in the past, he's shat on the club that paid him that money. Not that any sermon of mine will make any f*cking difference to him mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
