Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Was hard seeing him play in a different shirt than black & white and obviously hard to see him play against us.

 

Even harder to see him talking to our players after the final whistle - especially to Cabaye. So much to how much he was a disruptive dressing room influence.....

 

Well, even for me, the chapter Joey Barton for Newcastle United is closed now. Very best of luck to him. :clap:

The "One Joey Barton" chants I heard were mainly Q.P.R. fans to be fair, unless our away support all have cockney accents.

 

I dont have a problem showing him some thanks before the game or when his name is called out with the teamsheet but when the game is in full swing and he has just slyly kicked and one of our young players and thrown the ball at him seems a bit silly. If it was our fans singing aswell.

 

Either way to each their own. He played well today which shouldnt come as a surprise. He was surrounded with creative players which took the weight of expectation to create (that he had here) off, so he could go about his game tidying up the midfield and supporting the attack.

 

Big loss for us this season but we have moved on now.

Worst thing about the Barton stuff is you know the fans loved him and wanted him to stay,  the manager has gone on record saying he has no problem with the player and wanted him to stay and then you read all the players interviews in the press in the last couple of days,  Colo, Tiote, Gosling, Simpson and others all heaping praise on him and saying how important he is and Ashley and Llambias make a ridiculous decision to give him away for nothing.  Surely they could have been big enough men to get together and sort the difference out.  As a result NUFC are much weaker on and off the pitch.  Pardew has lost some respect as a result, he should surely have been stronger and made the board realise on a footballing level Barton should stay and if he did have to leave at least get a fee for him, even if it was £1m its better than letting him walk away for nowt.  QPR probably would have paid upto £3m if we'd asked for a fee anyway with Fernandes coming in and splashing the cash.

Booed during the game, cheered and applauded before and after, how it should be IMO.

The banana skin and headlines were avoided so lets all move on. He did better than our wide lads, but was no great shakes.

I know you havn't said otherwise, and i'm just banging an old drum, but had Barton been on our side instead of Obertan (and obviosly Taylor and Ameobi were not on the pitch) we would not have been raped in such brutal fashion by QPR, of all clubs.

 

Such a monumentaly laughable decision to give him away, and it was proven last night.

 

Sorry for using your post to vent a pointless and obvios opinion like :lol:
