Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 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. Any idea how that compares to other, similar players? Charlie Adam Red Cards 1 Yellow Cards 13 Total Cards 14 Fouls 81 Fouls/Cards Ratio 0.17 Lee Clatterall Red Cards 5 Yellow Cards 50 Total Cards 55 Fouls 225 Fouls/Cards Ratio 0.24 The Tiote Red Cards 0 Yellow Cards 16 Total Cards 16 Fouls 89 Fouls/Cards Ratio 0.18 Karl Henry Red Cards 2 Yellow Cards 15 Total Cards 17 Fouls 124 Fouls/Cards Ratio 0.14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Joey Barton claims Gervinho incident stopped Arsenal move By Michael Da Silva BBC Sport Joey Barton Barton was in talks with several clubs over the summer, including Arsenal New Queens Park Rangers captain Joey Barton claims he was very close to joining Arsenal last month. But the midfielder, 29, who was playing for Newcastle at the time, says an incident that saw Arsenal's Gervinho sent off ended his hopes of a move. Barton was criticised for going to ground too easily as the forward was red-carded by referee Peter Walton. "If I hadn't played against Arsenal on the first day, I may have signed for them," Barton said. "There were a couple of conversations [with Arsene Wenger] but that's different to actually signing. "The Gervinho incident happened and there's nothing I can do about it now. If it happened again, I'd like to think I'd deal with it differently. "Things happen for a reason and there's a lesson to be learned from it. Right now we sit above Arsenal in the table - hopefully that's the case in May." Barton was made available on a free transfer by Newcastle after the player criticised the way the club was being run on Twitter. He played two games for Newcastle this season - against Arsenal and Sunderland - before making his QPR debut against his former club. Barton said: "There were a couple of offers on the table but now I'm really happy to be at QPR and in London. We play an expansive and exciting brand of football and can hopefully surprise a few people this season." Barton was in the news this week for claiming Wolves midfielder Karl Henry was an "idiot" and "inferior" after a clash between the pair in QPR's 3-0 victory. Henry responded by calling the former Manchester City player "embarrassing". http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/15008071.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If I hadn't played against Arsenal on the first day, I may have signed for them," Barton said. You mean if you hadn't acted like a total twat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 He is so wrapped up in his own act that he doesn't really engage his brain. 'I could have signed for Arsenal, you know' won't impress his team-mates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Still like Barton. Typical wind-up merchant who any footballer with sense shouldn't rise to. Lose your rag, lose any chance of outplaying him. He's clearly a bit of a tit, but he's funny, in my opinion of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
