Just need to convince him the club's looking good and is definitely not an utter shambles. Job done  :thup:

If that's what it will take to get a performance I would leave him at home and play someone who hasn't got a pet lip on. Every chance we could get something from this game if players who want to play are involved.

Years since I heard anyone use that expression. Brilliant!

Sounds rather ominous. :undecided:

 

Look at it the other way, he isn't a lemming and will not jump like the others, he's staying :)

 

Lemmings dont jump of cliffs at all anyhow, urban myth thingy.

Weirdly, just a few minutes ago I read an article claiming that the thing about mass lemming suicides is a myth.

 

To perpetuate said myth Walt Disney personally threw handfuls of them over a cliff and clapped with glee as they tumbled to their watery death.

 

Its true (well, sort of), watch 'White Wilderness'.

I think it was driving a land rover at them, either way its mental.

I find myself in a difficult position, he's a player that I'd like to include in the side, but there are problems with his contract and that's well documented. It is where it is, me and Joey are quite clear, we had another meeting this morning. We have no problem with each other and we'll see what happens. I'm optimistic that he'll play some part against Arsenal and Sunderland.

 

Considering it's hugely unlikely that Barton would not want to play, is that not pretty much an admission that Pardew's simply been told by those above him that he can't use him?

1st I have to say it sounds exactly like something Joe Kinnear would have said, don't know why, but if this would have been an old quote from 2008/2009 from Kinnear, I would have totally believed it.

 

2nd. I think Joey will play. Saying that, it still could very much be the case that he'll leave the club in this transfer window.

Nah, Kinnear would have called him Gerald Burton

Yeah, that's what I was reading about.

There was a clip of this on The Code on BBC last night and they said the myth had come from a faked film where loads of tame lemmings had basically been booted over a cliff. It did look well dodgy

From the Mirror....

 

Stoke boss Pulis has offered Newcastle midfielder Barton a lucrative deal that would make him the club's highest-paid player.

 

Barton is available on a free transfer and the Potters have moved to head off potential interest from Arsenal by dangling a £55,000-a-week deal in front of the controversial star.

 

The England international, 28, has encouraged Stoke after Pulis held initial talks with his agent and will press ahead with the deal on Friday.

Would say a lot about Barton if he went to someone like Stoke on that much.

 

Can't see him doing that though, might as well just take our offer surely? Or do Stoke's free signings to replace the inevitable outgoing (be it this summer, January, next year) of Shawcross appeal to him?
