Twit Barton deserves the sack - McCarthy

 

Published 22:58 05/08/11 By Brendan McLoughlin

 

Mick McCarthy claims Twitter outbursts like Joey Barton’s would get you the sack anywhere else.

 

Midfielder Barton enraged the Newcastle hierarchy this week after his online onslaughts led to him to being fined and stuck on the transfer list.

 

United players have even been issued with formal legal warnings about their behaviour on networking websites.

 

Boss McCarthy, who only last month revealed plans to hire a media law firm to educate his Wolves players on the subject, claims such behaviour would not be tolerated in other industries.

 

He said: “I doubt very much that high-profile employees of huge companies around the world – Apple, Google, ICI, Esso or Tesco – would allow their employees to discuss their business.

 

"They’ll all have contracts as long as my arm telling them what they can and can’t do and I’d think they’d lose their jobs because of it.

 

“I’m not some old fuddy-duddy that doesn’t want to do it, it’s their responsibility to my football club, to Wolves, I’m interested in.

 

"Unless you’re prepared to say it to my face don’t say it at all.”

 

Headline in 'no relevance to article/quotes' shocker.

I wouldn't think Joey would have a problem saying it to his face nor Prdews.

 

The fact he's gone public would have initially been to respond to fans etc imho.

Another shit headline, McCarthy didn't directly say that Barton deserves the sack.  :lol:

 

He said nothing of the sort, that's the only reason I posted it tbh. Laughable shit stirring as usual.

SHEARER AGONY FOR ASTON VILLA NEW BOY CHARLES N'ZOGBIA

 

6th August 2011

By Ian Edwards

 

CHARLES N’ZOGBIA was left a nervous wreck by Toon legend Alan Shearer at Newcastle – but is now ready to become a top-flight star.

 

The French winger admits he failed his first crack at the big time because of the huge shadow cast by the Geordie hero on Tyneside.

 

But after sealing his £9.5m switch to Aston Villa, N’Zogbia finally feels at home in the Premier League.

 

N’Zogbia said: “When I came, I was a bit nervous. When you see players like Shearer, you feel nervous.”

 

Fucking pitiful. :lol:

'I was a bit nervous' = LEFT A NERVOUS WRECK! AGONY!

 

:lol:

 

 

:lol:  When I met Shearer and had a conversation with him, he asked me what my misses name was, for a split second ( felt like forever )  I couldn`t think, he does have that effect ( or did when he was playing ).  I can`t say I was in agony though.

Guest Roger Kint

Might have been posted elsewhere but Barton's been subject of an enquiry by Wigan according to the Journal.

 

Dave Whelan was on the radio yesterday, was asked if he would have him at Wigan. Said yes if that was what Martinez wanted because he fully backs his managers opinion. Wouldnt surprise me if thats the entire basis of the story
