Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Joey bangs on about how he's changed so much and how he such a more mature person but quite frankly he's trading physical for verbal in terms of his outlet for whatever reason.  If had grown up as much as he said he has, he would keep his mouth shut and worry about his life, his family, and his career at QPR.  What really annoys me is that smug look he has on his face, where he thinks hes about 40 pegs higher and smarter than anyone he is speaking to.

 

Its like an addict really, kick drugs and then in exchange they are addicting to food or drink, but for joey - the man had a self destructing temper where he would lash out in anger using physical means, hes really just traded that out with this diarreah of the mouth.

Wise words from Pards:

 

Meanwhile, Pardew refused to be drawn into the ongoing war of words involving former midfielder Joey Barton after his latest outburst prompted managing director Derek Llambias to call in lawyers.

 

The manager said: "I keep asking myself why? Why does he keep cropping up? The team is doing exceptionally well but unfortunately Joey's comments take away the positive nature of what we are doing here in terms of the players' performances, which have been absolutely brilliant.

 

"Anybody who takes that limelight away from my players, I'm not particularly keen on, if I'm honest. It is a bit frustrating, but you have got to put it into the perspective of the week we are having, and it means nothing, really."

He really does think he is some genius :lol: I think people (like myself) saw his interviews and have thought "hang on, he isn't actually a complete moron", people have said this to him and now he thinks he is some visionary :lol:

Barton is a complete bell end.  If I employed Willy McKay I would be ashamed and keep my head down.

 

Don't doubt Llambias and Ashley are not ruthless knuts, but Barton is almost as embarrassing as them two in a different way.

 

What do QPR fans think about all of his outbursts related to our club?

How to make a quick point but keep dignity intact in a very sad week.

 

Pards should give Llambias some lessons...

Wonder if Pards could make the missus lose a stone or ten, sick of looking at her fat arse whenever it leaves the room.

 

Mind you the kids have a feckin great crater on the sofa to play in.

Apparently he's on to Chomsky now:

 

Man, occasional superman and QPR midfielder Joey Barton was previously best known as an adherent of the Nietzschean variant on the Warnock school of route one: "My idea of paradise is a straight line to goal", as Friedrich put it (in a book called Twilight of the Idols, a title that followers of Barton's current club must hope won't sum up a late season descent into the relegation zone).

 

Perhaps sensing a post-Christmas loss of form, Barton yesterday indulged in some pre-window intellectual transfer activity. Having already collected more than his fair share of bookings for dissent, he has dropped Nietzsche's stress on the physical attributes of the game as a source of power. Yet he might find himself in even more trouble with officialdom now he appears to be modelling his game on a writer who has written the book on dissent. "Think I've found a man to respect and admire this morning, step forward Prof Noam Chomsky," tweeted Barton. One Noam Chomsky, there's only one Noam Chomsky, as the rulers of evil empires around the world no doubt are heartily glad of.

 

Chomsky will offer Barton a new way to extend his role in the middle of the park. The Chomsky philosophy, "Our goals we will pursue guided by a vision", might see Barton providing inspirational half-time team talks, usurping the gaffer with a revolt to expose how consent has been manufactured via the iniquities of the Loftus Road hierarchy. Putting in its place a match-winning strategy built from below. A unipolar formation, more commonly known as playing with the lone striker up front, will no longer do. A Chomskyite return to 4-4-2 would favour a more equitable distribution of the ball, or at least until the other lot invades QPR's half. But whose half is it anyway? Barton now finds himself questioning whether possession isn't just another means of exploitation. Own goals beckon in a half-hearted attempt to even up the score.

 

Minding his language, however, Barton's Chomskyite football could yet find the means of survival by exposing the weaknesses in the power formations that threaten to defeat his team. Never keen to profit from others' misfortune, Barton could subvert the back four of his opponents with runs down the left, never drifting towards the centre, exposing the frailties of the right sided nature of those his team find themselves up against.

 

But don't now expect Barton to add to his solitary England cap in the near future. If the call should come from Fabio, Barton's response is likely to be swift and to the point. "Training in national jingoism", is how Chomsky dubbed international sport. It's a retort that is unlikely to spur Capello to any further efforts to persuade Barton to return to the England fold.

 

Chomskyite football will sometimes be anarchic, with plenty of cross-field passing to favour horizontal formations of power in the team, usurping the barked commands of Warnockism from the technical area. Sometimes direct, the action on the pitch will seek to occupy the opposition's six-yard box. But to reassure worried QPR fans, the goal remains not just survival, but hegemony too.
