Joey Barton (now retired)


Recommended Posts

Even if he's right, he should keep his opinions about other clubs to himself, it's just professionalism.

 

QPR should be having a word with him about this TBH, if they don't curb his twitter behaviour it'll only end up harming them eventually.

 

He's not part of this club anymore though, that's my point. He can say whatever he likes.

 

It's not like he's commenting on QPR. It's no different to Simpson commenting on Chelsea or whatever.

Would be worth seeing Tiote getting a 3-match ban to break this c***s leg.

 

Nice one :thup:

 

What good is he doing? Telling the fans something they already know? Good lad!

 

Needs to f*** off and keep out of it tbh, doesn't help anyone have this s*** aroudn the club.

 

Why not? The s*** is here anyway. And the ownership have noone to blame but themselves for that s*** being there.

 

As far as I'm concerned, he can say what he likes. If people are glad to see the back of him/don't like him saying this stuff, then don't read it and don't get bothered by it.,

 

We have just brought in some new players (believe it or not) they don't need this shit when they are trying to settle into a new club.

 

As said, it's not exactly new is it? Wow Joey, cheers for that, didn't realise that was happening.

 

Needs to concentrate on QPR, he has fucked off now to an "ambitious" club, why doesn't he concentrate on them.

@Chubbza tiote and krul will be sold as soon as there's a significant bid or the ask for a new deal, jonas and collo off by this time nx yr

 

He needs to shut the f*** up.

 

Why? It's been obvious to most for months and months that this is what the plan is. Barton is just saying it, nothing wrong with that.

 

It really hasn't. There's no way the club is actively planning to sell Tiote and Krul. Obviously if Chelsea come in with a £40m bid we will probably sell, but the vast majority of clubs are in that position.

 

I am worried about the contracts of the likes of Colo and Jonas though, as they must be on more than we're offering to new players.

 

You and a few others must be living on a different planet if you think that's not the case.

 

It's become quite clear that ANY player has a price on his head and it won't have to be a large amount (as shown by the Enrique departure).

 

Ashley is happy to keep us in the PL while recovering of much money as possible.

 

Barton probably has a better idea of what's happening than us, it's worth listening TBH

He's only saying what everyone knows anyway,  whats the problem?  Its common knowledge that Ashley plans for the club are to bring players in and sell them on for a profit.  Obviously its a bit different for Colo due to the huge wage that Ashley gave him in the first place but as he'll be soon coming to the end of his contract the option will be take a huge pay cut or leave.

Before I start, my disclaimer is: I'm not an Ashley apologist.

 

Anyway, there's no reason to have that much of a net spend deficit, but when you look at a few things:

 

- We got relegated and had a fire-sale, in that window alone we sold Bassong for £8m, Duff and Beye both for ~£5m combined, Martins for £9m. That's £22m there, add that to a once off transfer fee that we're never likely to see again and that's £57m.

 

- Putting things into context, despite all of Liverpools spending, their net spend wouldn't be that much (using them as they're the best example I can think of), they've still probably only got a net spend of £25m.

 

Yes, the Carroll money should have been re-invested (some of it anyway, I'd have been fine if they'd spent £20m of it), but we've still brought in some quality players for low fees, which doesn't make them any less quality just because they didn't cost the £40m combined that Liverpool did on Henderson and Downing. We definitely signed a better footballer than Henderson in Cabaye for 1/4 of the price, yet everyone talks about their ambition and our lack-of.

I highly doubt that they'll care about what he's saying. And if they do, then it's not the only criticism/issue that will come their way - from fans, press etc.

 

They won't give two fucks and if you don't, then don't read them. Let him ramble away.

It would be if he hadn't moved for money reasons in the first place. Piss off you fucking has been.

Love the abuse he's being singled out for because he's been privy to more of the reality of the club than we'll ever know for certain. His tweets could just easily read as the "Last Posts of this Member" for about 95% of people on this board ffs. :lol:

We had to sell Enrique for slightly less than he's really worth because his contract was ending. I just don't see any evidence that we're looking to sell our best players all the time. We have a lot of failings, but that's not one of them IMO.

I would be a little pissed of our new star signing seemed more concerned with his old club than mine :dontknow: what do you think about his comments regarding our new young left back? Acceptable or just being a cunt because he is bitter about a mate being replaced?

 

Should he just be allowed to rip the club apart because we hate Ashley? How far is too far as long as it teaches Ashley a lesson?

His own agent lies at least as much as Ashley and Dekka.

 

When he signed, wasn't there a snag until we paid his Citeh loyalty bonus? Basically he's just on the lookout for number one. He's just clever enough to know what fans want to hear.

It's a couple of Tweets from Joey f***ing Barton ffs.

 

You'd think he launched a National advertising campaign of him kicking a Magpie up the arse while smoking a copy of the Evening Chronicle and shitting on the Tyne Bridge.

So you don't mind your club being dragged more and more through the dirt unnecessarily? Because you're pissed at the ownership too? Just as much a selfish attitude as Joey fucking Barton.

 

I hate the clowns in charge and since I've been here I've made that clear (even been ridiculed by some of you who are now high and mighty). But I will NEVER be grateful or appreciative of some cunt publicly and constantly slagging the club off.

 

Like I said before...We should all be protective of the club as an entity. It's not defined by the current or ex players. Nor is it defined by the current or ex owners.

 

We need to have some pride back in the support and hate those who attack it as much as those who run it badly. Sorry, but the completely justifiable anger for the cunt of an owner is clouding a lot of people's judgement of the cunts who also continue to embarrass us, shit stir and slag of new blood.

 

You're so right mate, seems like people almost take pleasure in NUFC looking bad at the moment, just because Ashley happens to be in charge.

Long may he tweet.

 

Or blog, hopefully. :laugh:

 

Fantastic entertainment, honest and occasionally gives us insight none of us have into club affairs. Don't believe for a second Ashley believes in true professionalism and as such don't think Joey is obliged to reciprocate. Furthermore, I think most social etiquette is bollocks, personally - so happy for him to speak his mind. :thup:

Spot on, feels like there is more 'ambition' to give it to Ashley and Lambyarse than there is to stick up for our club.

 

Barton needs to go fuck himself basically, followed the money despite a moral crusade so should keep his head down rather than keep up this pathetic pantomime.

Thing with Joey, despite his i'm getting my life turned around stuff, which he has to his credit.

 

He takes absolutely no responsibility for his actions at all it seems, its never his fault, fully, partly or remotely, its an astounding level of arrogance and own self importance.

 

Also is it just me, but despite his obvious intelligence and charm, he is very very immature, its hard to spot but if you look you can see it.

It's rubbish that like - Nobody takes pleasure in this.

 

I just don't see how his Tweets are making any significant difference. Will probably be brushed over by most people.

 

He's just a disgruntled ex-employee. Most don't give a second thought to them. If you don't care for him, ignore him.

No they're right, long may he continue ripping into the club and our new players :thup:

 

No chance this will be picked up by the media or anything like that, as long as Ashley is one of those who reads it it's all good :thup:

Oh, and for what it's worth, Barton isn't attacking the club at all.

 

He even mentions Llambias and Ashley personally. If the club isn't defined by owners, why have your feathers ruffled by this?

Never agreed with that btw. Started this argument before he made that Tweet.
