Wilshere springs to mind..

 

And this is Joey's response to that (someone said Wilshere before):

 

@Joey7Barton Joseph Barton

@Danbo12 little bit easier playing with van Persie than Shefki Kuqi, no disrespect to Shefki he's a great lad......

a) That is disrespectful to Shefki Kuqi

and

b) It's crap. Wilshere is a better player than Barton.

 

Someone take his computer away before he becomes unemployable.

 

Hell no, the space time continuum would collapse, if you did that then this thread would cease to be and we would all have never posted here, boredom and Barton being normal..............does not compute.

 

Its a bit like The Terminator, if Johny Connor doesn't send his Dad back in time to knob his Mum, he will never be, this thread is at that risk with your quite frankly mental suggestion :D

 

I have considered your response very carefully and cannot make sense of it.

 

My final throwaway line was a cry of despair at the way each daft tweet or statement that Joey makes, can only have the effect of putting off this or any other club from giving him a contract. He seems to have a death wish.

 

That last sentence is not to be taken literally either.

 

I too have considered your response carefully and i'am trying to work out if you realised that mine was meant as a bit of a laugh......  :cheesy:

 

Its only fun, come on you know you want to smile.....give it a try its good honestly, look at me i've got stupid girlie curly hair, hit 40 and have a fat missus who thinks she's a size 12, i have to laugh or i would launch myself into outer space in a home made rocket, just for a laugh like  ;D

From todays Independant

Joey Barton yesterday ridiculed suggestions that Scott Parker was a better player than him. Barton was writing on Twitter and defending his recent claim that he was the best English midfielder.

 

The Newcastle United player had told French magazine So Foot in April that he was the best of his compatriots. Yesterday a Twitter user suggested that Parker and Jack Wilshere were better than Barton, and while Barton admitted the class of Arsenal's 19-year-old, he dismissed claims that Parker was his superior. "Wilshere is class and is goin [sic] to be an infinitely better player than me, no doubt about it," Barton conceded, "but Parker come on."

 

Despite West Ham's relegation, Parker was lauded for his performances last season, leading the Football Writers' Association to make him their player of the season and Fabio Capello to select him in three England internationals this year. Barton, though, insisted that he was better, pointing to the fact that Parker's club finished bottom of the Premier League. "He's not in my league", Barton wrote, "...FACT he s [sic] actually in the championship." Barton also pointed to the games between Newcastle and West Ham last season: "Did I not dismantle him twice, think it was 2-1 at their place, 5-0 at ours!! And they were easily relegated #justsaying."

 

When asked to explain his absence from the England squad, Barton explained that "we all know that's political and not professional".

 

Barton's comments were not wholly negative, though. He praised Spurs' Luka Modric and Arsenal's Samir Nasri as the two best players in England last season. "Modric and Nasri were the best two players I played against in the league," he wrote. "I put Modric out in front as the best by quite some distance... miles ahead of me in my opinion."

 

Just digging a deeper hole tbh and opening himself up for the snipers ,admire his honesty but Joey keep it shut for a bit  ;D

The term 'intelligent' has been used on here in connection with joey. Anyone still think so ?

 

I work with some very very intelligent/knowlegdeable people, yet most of them have absolutely no common sense whatsoever, Joey would be like them imho.

Did all these top players ur mentioning also play out of their natural position like I did?? #justsaying haha......something to think about

 

If he was playing in his "natural position" he'd have been 20% as good as he was.

He's lost the plot like... getting a Twitter account was about the worst thing he could have done. Complaining he was playing with Kuqi? Howay Joey, how many seconds was he on the pitch? And having a go at Parker, widely thought of as one of the players of the season - equally stupid.

 

If this is what happens when players are open and honest I'm glad most of them don't say anything.

Exactly this.  Barton needs to wind his neck in.

I think he's more erudite in person, but I don't see how any of this displays a lack of intelligence, unless you think sharing your opinions on football does so? If that's the case then at least he hasn't joined a forum especially to do it eh!

 

People getting their knickers in a twist, man. :lol:

 

Don't get what you mean, should we not be discussing this unless we love it?

 

No, but as he says you shouldn't be getting your knickers in a twist. It's just a man giving his thoughts, it doesn't affect anything.

I agree with everything he said TBF and i normally do.

 

He still should not say it though. He won't change.
