QBG Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Him in Ligue 1 will be carnage, the refs are much more card happy than they are in the Premier League, but if Marseille get him the ball in the right areas then the quality of delivery he can produce will suit Gignac, who Baup seems to prefer to the likes of Remy and the Ayew brothers. In terms of his affection for us, that much was obvious in the derby win last year. He loved every minute of that. We showed faith in him and he re-payed us in our first season back with some superb play at times. He can be a bit of a mental case but he built a genuine rapport with the fans during his time with us. The likes of him and Nolan should be applauded for the job they did in stabilising the club, though Hughton obviously gets the greatest credit.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Tbf to Barton and i don't say that often did he actually want to leave i never got the impression he wanted to leave. Good luck to him he's a twat but like others i do have a soft spot for him sometimes when he's not acting like a c*nt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He spent his best times here, no question. We're the only club he has left who seems to have a soft spot for him imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He spent his best times here, no question. We're the only club he has left who seems to have a soft spot for him imo. Think we're the only club he's left that he has a soft spot for tbf, judging by the comments on his twitter a week or so ago about missing playing at St James Park, proper club, proper fans etc I think he said. Nolan, don't even want to get talking about was he good or not, always gave 100% for us, scored some goals and was part of the team that established us as a proper premier league team. I'm sure he will get a great reception to be honest, and I'm sure he'll give our fans a great reception too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Agree with all of that. Hope Nolan get's a good reception at SJP. Nolan, Barton, and Hughton should all get a hero's welcome. Especially Chrissy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I am glad he is not our problem anymore but I do have a soft spot for him. I also went to a couple of talk-ins he did and he seemed to find something to say to everyone who queued up for autographs and photos and no-one was turned away. It is not very often you see that happen. I think Twitter is the worst thing for him as it has given him a platform to voice his opinions on everything and he seems to love/crave the attention he gets from it. With us he seemed to keep his head and concentrate on the football whereas now he seems to have involved himself in so many other activities that it is almost impossible to ignore him. He is a complicated person who never quite knows when enough is enough and so ends up crossing the line on too many occasions in both word and deed. I hope he does well in Marseilles - if he is doing well on the pitch, he will probably be better off it. He is also right about our game there - one of the best atmospheres I have ever experienced - though that fire had us worried for a few minutes but also bemused by the lack of concern from all surrounding it.

ponsaelius Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Few times now I've seen him mention bringing us back up. A freekick at Peterborough and nice pass at Plymouth is the total amount of his contribution that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.R. Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 He got locked up after we gave him a chance. Then got sent off needlessly at Liverpool and had a go at Shearer when we fighting to stay up. Had a hissy fit after the club wouldn't give him the contract he wanted. We owe him no gratitude.

A freekick at Peterborough and nice pass at Plymouth is the total amount of his contribution that season. Aye, I remember him being crooked for most of your season in the C'ship. He was indeed great in 2010-2011 but you have obviously managed without him. Barton loves to talk the talk, though, he has a way with words bigging everything around himself up, for better or worse.

Not according to FM. Weak source, I know. But still, seems a big thing to miss in a footy sim game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
