Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

 

This twitter thing is tedious, just draws constant attention to the club because he's obviously going to be banging on about things from the days match or more like confrontations. I watched him in the first half and thought "we really need to keep hold of you" and then thought when all that nonsense happened "lets just get rid to be honest". He might be committed to the cause but he's massively self centred and too much of a drama queen. JUST GET ON WITH IT ffs

Called Brian Woolnough a nugget on twitter this morning when the sunday supplement was on.

 

Woolnough comes back on after the break and says 'Joey.. if this wasnt a faimily show i would tell you exactly what I think of you'

 

 

Barton man  :clap: :clap:    :smitten: :mackems:

Anyone knows what exactly Barton got booked for? Was it for holding on to Gervinho or for overreacting when Gervinho hit him?

 

I'd have guessed it was for some sort of 'ungentlemanly conduct' the way he dragged Gervinho up - however, seeing it again on MOTD, the referee didn't appear to see the inital flare up, and just headed over once the crowd of players was there, and then the subsequent slap.

 

He may have taken advice from an assistant though, about Barton's initial involvement.

Arsenal seem to particularly hate him for some reason. I remember this from Keegan's last game:

 

"Joey came on and got a very good tackle in on Nasri, then the guy just sliced him down. If you write any different to that, youre deceiving your readers.

 

I was upset at the end. I like Nasri very much hes a player we looked at and talked about but you cant do that. Joey hasnt done anything wrong there. I thought it was an excellent tackle. He got the ball he didnt go in double-footed or anything.

 

Gael Clichy added:

"We know the guy. He wanted to make something for his first game back and I don't want to talk about it but Samir did well and I'm proud of him."

 

Then the Diaby thing the last time we played them, and then today

 

Best laugh is that Barton always coming out on top :smug:

 

Arsenal :lol: :lol: :lol:

why should he have been sent off? And when was the last time he was sent off?

I don't see how anyone in their right sane state could suggest it was a penalty and wasn't a dive. I'm sorry, but I was watching the game with Brazilians (!!) and they were laughing at how bad of an attempt it was. There was barely any contact, however it's agreed that Barton shouldn't have done what he did and I actually think he did deserve a red due to the pure innecessity of his reaction.

Well to be fair they both should have been off. A yellow for Barton for grabbing him and pulling him up, red for Gervinho for slapping Barton and a second yellow for Barton for diving after the slap.

Nah what Barton did was a red card conduct, well at least it should be. He instigated it, but we could argue all day long whether he had done that had Song not stamped on him, and Arsenal should've been down to 10 men earlier.

Players grab opponents like that all the time(maybe not pulling them up but he was on his way up), its not a red because there isn't enough violent conduct in it, at least by current rules.

Nice one Joey.

 

If only you didn't dive to the floor in the most pathetic manner possible when Gervinho slapped you.
