Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

It was a pretty bland interview, but he is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Says fuck all and its boring, say something controversial and he's a twat.

 

Clearly the beeb wanted him to let rip.

 

Cronky, I'm would guess he was asked to do an interview just like many footballers past and present will be this week on the new England managers. On this occasion I don't think the interview is a "oh look at me" interview???

 

My query is why did the Beeb pick Joey, and why did Joey accept the invitation. He's never played for Hodgson, and he only has one international cap. His lack of relevant experience was painfully obvious.

 

I found the interview annoying and embarrassing, which is the same reaction that I've had for a number of Joey's public pronoucements over the last year or so.

 

It's embarrassing because he seems to be trying to live down the image of an unintelligent footballer, but actually rarely has anything original or interesting to say, falling back on populist cliches instead.

 

It's annoying because he really ought to be concentrating on his day job as club captain, which, judging from QPR's league position, he perhaps isn't doing very well. I also find it annoying that a number of people seem to be lapping up his posturing as though it was all very profound.

 

You do know Loftus Road is literally 2 mins away from BBC Television Center?

 

I can't see how it can be disputed that Joey courts media attention.

Really want to see the tevez incident again. Don't think it was a red but not sure.

 

Just showed it, definitely an elbow in retaliation. Barton went down harder against Gervinho though. Cunt. Then his Rambo rampage haha
