Recommended Posts

Aye, Man City fan at work agreed with him, same fella speaks very highly of Barton and Ireland quite regularly.

Fucking love Joey.

 

"JOEY BARTON has sensationally re-opened his bitter feud with Ousmane Dabo, branding his former Manchester City team-mate a liar.

 

Barton put the Frenchman in hospital after a training ground punch-up four years ago."

 

I love that.  It wasn't so much a feud as a complete K/O.

Joey is singing like a canary. Seems like he either wants out or is selling his story to the highest bidder/tabloid rag. Maybe him and Pardew should fuck off together now they have used this club to rebuild their crappy reputations.

This interview was conducted weeks ago, it should be noted. The fact it's being reported in segments is misleading folk.

 

Yeah. And I'll be wary of any articles from So Foot since they have a history of making up stories and quotes. This belated story just seems to be opening up previously done wounds and milking up every last drop of sensationalism.

I was talking about the best English midfielder part, not past wounds / feuds as you are thinking.

 

Yeah, I wasn't responding to you specifically, just the tone of the original articles.

 

TBF he does call Dabo a pussy, which I guess deserves a headline or two!

I don't know the relevance of the interview being weeks old. He shouldn't be saying these things at all.

 

Beneath the big talk, he sounds very unsure of himself. He doesn't know whether he wants to play for us, whether he wants to play for England, and who's to blame for the Dabo fight. It's all coming out in a big ramble. Someone needs to have a quiet word with him because he's just making a fool of himself.

Maybe he shouldn't be saying any of this stuff, but I'd much rather hear Joey Barton talk than any other modern premier league footballer, at least he doesn't just come out with the usual banal comments taught to them by PR consultants.

Actually, it may all work out well for us, thinking about it. All those comments about England midfielders seemed to be designed to ensure that he'd never get picked for England again. Similarly, all this other rambling - particularly about Dabo - is bound to put other clubs off from coming in for him.

 

As I said in another post, I think he struggles with decisions and subconsciously this may be his way of putting the decision in the hands of other people.

Don't you just love it when folk barely intelligent enough to scan a tin of beans suddenly become psychologists?

 

Do you need to be a psychologist? If you were thinking of moving to another club, would you give an interview like that - bigging yourself up, slagging off other players and saying that Dabo deserved a wacking?

Why do you say stuff like this? You seem to be intelligent enough at times and then ruin it by needlessly belittling others and their opinions seemingly for your own sense of pride and place. Howay man ffs.

 

Why rise to it? Everyone knows what an argumentative mug he is.

I'm not rising to it, I'm disappointed. I want to like him, he clearly has a passion for the game and is opinionated but its just infuriating when you're reading threads and there is discussion going on and you read a petty little comment seemingly written by some angry kid.
