Joey Barton (now retired)

[ponsaelius]

It's strange how every time us fans get attached to a player or manager, Ashley decides to get shot of them 

 

You have to wonder why we bothered standing by him through all the prison time etc though, only to fuck him off once he starts playing well.

I suspected he had a hidden agenda when he signed up to twitter. He's probably been waiting for a final push before posting these sort of comments. I'm guessing he's just been told he's surplus to requirements.

[Frazzle]

Didn't Keegan have to argue to keep him after prison? Mark Douglas said the people upstairs aren't on the best of terms with Barton and now they probably see that they can get rid of him if this Cabaye bloke has signed.

Love Barton, but seriously, he's 29 with only playing one good year with us.  The rest in jail or injured.  Of course we are going to look for a younger cheaper replacement.  We would be stupid not to. 

 

The problem is as good as Joey has been for us this season (I'd like him to stay for at least squad depth) you just know he's one step away from doing something stupid again.. I can see why our owner doesn't want to take the risk with him.. especially as he's not young.

 

The lad as hardly put a foot wrong in over 2 years. Where as tiote has made a load of poorly timed tackles and nowt is said.

 

Joey has changed just accept it and stop waiting for him to screw up

 

Punching players in the stomach doesn't help his case.

There is a load of trach being spoken in here today, how the hell did you know he had a agenda.

 

 

where you spiderman senses tingling ?

The fact he created a Twitter account as soon as the news broke of no contract proves it.

That's even worse if he did not have an agenda

The club are clearly pissed off by his change of mind in January after verbally agreeing to a contract extension and then turning back on it.

 

Barton and McKay can't be trusted IMO, which basically is a no-no with our management.

I don't know, I said I suspected he had an agenda. Although the timing of his Twitter account and common sense tells me he did.

[David Icke - Son of God]

There goes any hope of this being solved amicably

 

He's right in a lot of what he says but I've no doubt this situation isn't just all down to the club. There's a degree of self interest on Barton's side too which is understandable if not slightly unpalatable thanks to the presence of Willy fucking McKay. I've no idea why he feels the need to act the martyr though because it does nowt for him or NUFC.

Since when can McKay be trusted?  Barton should let everything play out behind the scenes.  Twitting his comments is only hurting the situation.

Thats sort of stuff is a part of football, happens the world over. Everybody has a breaking point and some people know how to get you there.

 

The reason barton is labelled a thug is the off field stuff. The part of his life is over.

Barton is equally as untrustworthy as our management.

Aye sod it, let's take the risk of getting a red card every time we face a team with a cunt in it.

[Guest toonlass]

I would still prefer Barton at the club than Ashley and Llambias.

Hard to argue that Gamst isn't a cunt. 

 

I could name at least 1 cunt in every team in Europe.  Doesn't give Barton or any other player the right to punch them.

 

Pathetic comments really to defend Barton's actions.

Interesting as it is, all he's doing with these comments is justifying the club's probable opinion that he's difficult to manage. Factor in the wages/contract he's on/after and I'd imagine they're feeling pretty smug right now.

 

Another good player surely leaving. Can only hope we replace him with equal or better quality.
