He went back, while play was still on, and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and lifted him off the floor, then put his hands against the lads face before Gervinho started windmill slapping him.

 

Ah, figures. I'd assumed you'd seen it. Obviously not.

Which is why he got cautioned (as is often the case in scuffles on the pitch in the PL), and Gervinho would have got the same had he not 'slapped' Barton.

 

then put his hands against the lads face before Gervinho started windmill slapping him.

 

and that never happened. Barton's hands went nowhere near his face.

Graeme Souness calls @Joey7Barton mediocre. Ruddock, Stewart, Piechnik, Kozma, Dicks, ALI DIA, Grabbi, Boumsong, Babayaro, Faye, Luque...

Graeme Souness on Joey Barton: "Everyone talks about him, but he's better than I was." Exactly!

 

Yes, Graeme, that's the case. At last you got something right.

 

:snod:

 

Pushing it, to be fair...

Slow news day when the BBC are just using Twitter quotes:

 

Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton helps 'catch burglar'

 

Premier League star Joey Barton has told how he helped police to catch a suspected burglar.

 

The Newcastle midfielder told his 380,000-plus Twitter followers that he heard a noise at a neighbour's house.

 

He wrote: "05:26 was awoken by a banging sound, burglar attempting to break into neighbour's house. Needless to say he was apprehended."

 

Police later viewed CCTV footage taken from Barton's home in Jesmond on Sunday as part of their inquiry.

 

Officers said a 25-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of burglary.

 

Barton added on Twitter: "He was so subtle he attempted to put a massive log through the window.

 

"What with the burglar and Arsenal game, it's been an incident-packed 24hrs."

Window broken

 

Northumbria Police said: "Police received reports of a disturbance at an address in Jesmond.

 

"At around 6am, police attended the scene where a window had broken.

 

"Officers searched the area and a 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary."

 

Barton was at the centre of a controversial sending off in Newcastle's 0-0 draw at home to Arsenal on Saturday evening.

 

He grabbed opposing striker Gervinho, who was given a red card for striking out at the midfielder.

 

Barton was give a yellow card for his part in the incident.

As well as attacking Newcastle’s owners – resulting in him being transfer-listed – he has also piled into leading football journalists and Magpies legend Alan Shearer, as well as dabbling in politics

 

:facepalm:

 

Lazy journalism again.
