Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Henry was angered by Barton’s winding-up of players, saying: “Joey Barton was telling everyone on the pitch he is on £80,000 a week.

 

“That is him. I think he riles a few people when he says those things and tells everybody how great he is. It is just embarrassing really. If that is what he wants to do, he can carry on.

 

“But that is why a lot of people dislike him as a person and maybe have a problem with him. He’s on £10,000 a week more than last season, he tells me.

 

“They were winning and there was no need for him to go on the way he did and telling everyone how much he earns.

 

“Every time I’ve played against him he tells me how much he earns and I don’t think anyone wants to hear it.”

Karl Henry is a thug, an absolute donkey who literally just smashes people, he has no footballing ability.  It was also he who started all this war of words and decided he was going to kick seven shades out of Barton.  Since then he's lost 4-1 and 3-0 when playing against him, Barton has also arguably been MOTM on both occassions. 

 

Not sure I believe this prick, even if I did, does it give Henry carte blanche to start booting him up in the air?  Strange how he only mentions it now he's been made to look a cunt by Barton. #helmet

tbf he only does things like that to wind opposition players up, and clearly it works. I very much doubt he does it in everyday life.

 

Exactly, most likely done with the sole purpose of pissing off the opposition. I bet that sort of stuff goes on all the time.

Would that really get on your nerves though?

 

Karl Henry's just looking for an excuse to kick Barton.

 

Was quite interesting at the end of the match, they were hugging each other and then something was said and Barton had to be held back.

Haha. :lol:

 

Not really went on Barton's twitter much since he joined QPR, still makes for great reading.

Barton also bragged to a load of journalists about how much he earns and I doubt Kelvin Henry is bright enough to make that up.

I much prefer footballers to say it like it is and cut through the bullshit. Barton, other than his philosophy bollocks is generally always interesting to listen to.

 

Give me a Joey Barton ahead of a stereotypical footballer tossed like Ashley Cole or Wayne Bridge anyday.

 

Having said that, I'm still kind of glad that the circus has left town.

For whatever reason, perhaps pride in my own work, I'm currently defending Joey Barton's mental traits. People won't accept that generally he's not a dirty player. They seem to think he's someone who gets countless red cards a season, and causes a fight every other game.

 

Red Cards 3

Yellow Cards 56

Total Cards 59

Fouls 319

Fouls/Cards Ratio 0.18

 

That's Joey Barton's disciplinary record over his Premiership career. Seriously, other Football Manager researchers drive me nuts.

Anyone else thinking that Barton now might be part of some kind of sect? I know, probably way of the mark but, selling his Aston Martin, saying how stupid a collection of exclusive watches is? I mean, he clearly has the money to have that all....

Would be a heavy change of mind if it really came all from himself.

Any idea how that compares to other, similar players?
