healthyaddiction Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Oh, ok, the replay was really poorly cut and I didn't watch the full thing. There's a really bad challenge, the players surround him and he slaps huddlestones knob. Fair enough. So two red card offences in one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 He's lauded as some sort of cult hero by some of our lot, bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I don't understand it, he absolutely stole a living for 4 years with us (some of which was spent in chokey) and was only good for six months 'One Joey Barton'. Aye, thank fuck for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I don't hate him, he's mildly amusing at times and it's always good to watch him unravel after he's been preaching to the world about how to live life. Definitely still an unhinged individual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I like him because he's a fucking mental nutcase. I like observing mental nutcases from a distance. Also the fact he seemingly absolutely detests Mike Ashley is an endearing factor. However I'm glad he's not at NUFC anymore. Or well, not really. If he was still here there's a chance we'd be entertained by fights on the pitch, which would be more interesting than the shit existence of nothingness we suffer today.

Tooj Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 He's lauded as some sort of cult hero by some of our lot, bizarre. Aye it's ridiculous. The reception he got at Steve Harper's testimonial was an embarrassment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His days are numbered now though. He was here 4 years and at most had 5 good months as a RM - with Andy Carroll to aim for. This. But would probably go further and say 3-4 month. Some people on here and large portions of our match going fan base need their checked when it comes to Joey Barton's time here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 He's only well liked here because of the way he carried on about Ashley, which was reasonably commendable, for the most part on the pitch he was a waste of time and largely a hinderance. I think it would be quite churlish to think otherwise - don't think many, if any, rated him as a player other than he 'cared' when in truth he probably didn't, he just got stuck in now and then.

Ronaldo Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 That's the thing, him getting 'stuck in' with the daft tackles was a product of the fact he was otherwise unable to assert himself on games. He'd frequently get physically dominated to the point of embarrassment in CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, like Nolan, was physically unable to play in centre midfield however Nolan was unrivaled at making up for it with goals. Barton though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Barton sort of piggy backed on the group of players who sorted us out after Orient didn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Pretty sure he had a falling out with Hughton just before the Championship kicked-off. Seem to remember him being benched for the WBA game. I keep harping on about it as well but he made it hard to like from the very start when he wouldn't waive his £300k 'loyalty' fee at Man City and daft t*** Shepherd ended up paying £5.8m rather than £5.5m for him. Wish to hell he didn't bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It was a bust-up with another player wasn't it? Coloccini perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yep. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/8191579.stm Hughton refused to directly deny an incident had occurred when questioned. But he said: "We are getting used to rumours at Newcastle United. It is something that we have to work around." Reports in the north-east claimed Barton was involved in a dispute with Jonas Gutierrez and Fabricio Coloccini and then fell out with Hughton, suggestions the 26-year-old has denied. "There was no disagreement between Joey Barton and any other player prior to the West Brom game," said Barton's personal spokesman Paul Tyrrell. "He totally accepted Chris Hughton's decision to put him on the bench for tactical reasons yesterday and gave a typically committed performance when he came on as a substitute.

Away Toon Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Barton might not be the greatest player in the world but he's better than any of our centre midfielders. Maybe Abeid might turn into a decent player if we ever pick him to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
