I agree with the stuff he was saying about Giggs/Terry/England Rugby Team. Barton was raised in a rough area of Liverpool and with a (somewhat dysfunctional) family like his, can imagine it being pretty hard to be raised "conventionally". if barton had been a carpet fitter with exactly the same background you'd say he was a twat, because he's a footballer who for a time played well for your team you'll change the criteria. opposite way round. Because he's a footballer his actions have been greatly exagerated to the point he is seen as a twat. If he wasn't a footballer he would just be a guy who's had a few scraps and has been prone to getting into a bit of bother.

Guest Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Or maybe the fact he's a footballer has stopped him getting into even more bother? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Maybe it's a mixture of both? Some villify him for his previous and outspoken nature because he's in the public eye, others cut him some slack because of who he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cigar ncident was fucking sick like from the sounds of things, but the guy tried to set his shirt on fire and this was a decade ago. And that kid he "beat to a pulp" was out in Liverpool centre on a Saturday night giving him lip. I'm not at all condoning it, or saying he was in the right, but it hardly makes him a twat.

Flip Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 He is a cunt though. Like the guy for being open, but sometimes its enough and he does have anger problem. If he gets angry there's no going back, can't keep himself calm. He's a loser, but I still like him because its entertaining. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I always quite liked Joey Barton as a player but looking at him now, from a distance, he seems to make trouble for himself and can easily put peoples backs up with the comments he makes. I think that for some of our foreign lads he would be quite hard to put up with, the self upping crap aswell ..hhmmm The Taarabt comments, make them to him at the club but not to the whole media circus..he's your own team mate FFS!

Mr. Snrub Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 When Barton signed for QPR everyone immediately started saying things like how will he and Taarabt ever get on and predicting bust ups, and sure enough after a matter of weeks Barton comes out and publicly slates him. It almost seems like he's playing up to his image with this one and trying to generate more attention for himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of does...!! If those actions don't make him a t*** in your book, I'd hate to know what he has to do to be considered one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Taarabrt having a bust up (especially when Adel is known to be quite the prick) was always on the cards like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Barton's probably jealous because Taarabt's a better footballer than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Really can't tell whether we're missing him or not. Obertan's a bag of wank but having two direct wingers helps our play. Saying that, i was buzzing off the prospect of Cabaye-Tiote-Barton as a midfield trio like. Still think i'd prefer it if he were here, tbh. Pointless comments, i know. Thinking aloud or summat.

FrenchWilliam Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Not sure he'd fit in with the ethos now. Seems to be more of a just get your head down and work hard atmosphere now. As opposed to the big personality, fighter/leader troop of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 He's undoubtedly a better player than Obertan, but I don't think he'd fit into the current system whereas Obertan does. I'd also hope Marveaux will eventually replace Obertan anyway. This year we've got Cabaye playing a similar role to Barton last year, only Cabaye is good enough to do it in the centre rather than out on the right.

ponsaelius Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If Barton was still here he'd be spending every game standing on Cabaye's toes. We're better with 2 proper wingers, look at Jonas' improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I reckon Barton would have done well in a quick movement/passing 4-3-3 but with our current system of 4-4-2 (and most likely 4-4-1-1 in the future) and our playing style ("proper" wingers and all that), don't think he would have fit in Pardew's plans as such.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Regarding Giggs and Terry he's right like. Any kind of man, would say no, especially your own brother's lass. Barton himself, he's a decent footballer but in a league of 50 decent footballers, he'd be mid-table that's how 'meh' he is. I quite like him though, he's interesting in that he has interesting things to say, for a footballer anyway. Are we better off without him? Results and performances at the moment say yes but would a Barton be a good squad player? Yes he would so squad wise we lost a decent player. Same applies to Nolan and even Carroll. Players we haven't really replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
