Joey Barton

Not a captain. 

 

And today, not a footballer.  Just a whinger.

 

Quite disappointing.

 

It is one game ffs.

 

Note the part in bold.

 

But he clearly doesn't have the temperament to handle the armband.

No he f***ing hasn't man get a grip.

 

He's been our best player this season alongside Coloccini. I'd call that backing it up.

Maybe our best player but he's not the "best midfielder in England" he's been very good but was dreadful for the 3 years prior to this season, not to mention spending some of that time in jail ffs. His history of behaving like a complete scumbag means that people will jump all over him when he comes out with this kind of nonsense & it's something he's only brought on himself. He just needs to shut his mouth and play.

Bar maybe Jack Wilshire there isn't exactly a host of competition in the English midfield who can honesty say they have been better than Barton this season.

Can't believe the reaction to his performance, Barton has probably been our best player this season, only a handful of poor games.

 

So that means he can't be criticised?

 

Of course he's been one of our best players, but he was bloody atrocious today.

 

One bad game hardly calls for some of the stick he is getting on here.

Calling him a c*** and saying he let us down?

 

Give over, man. You've got more between your ears that that.

Some of the posts in here man, fucking hell.

 

How about we focus on the actual dross that needs shipped out like the 2 Taylor's, Guthrie, Lovenkrands instead of hanging Barton out to dry because of one match.

 

who is hanging him out to dry? he's set himself up for a fall. once again. and landed on his face. and he deserves the criticism that comes his way.

 

now he has to learn from his mistake and next game he starts with a clean slate.

 

no one is suggesting we get rid on the back of one match ffs, just a bit of deserved and, if anything, constructive criticism.

You actually can't grasp the concept that he was interviewed weeks ago, can you? :lol:

It doesn't make a blind bit of difference.

Being our player of the season has nothing to do with today's game, no one is disputing he has been brilliant for us this season.. he is being judged on today's performance and it was shocking.

Pardew made him Captain expecting him to lead by example and keep us focused but instead he used the Captaincy as an excuse to fkn cry on and on at the ref instead on just concentrating on his job as a footballer.

 

TODAY he let us down

I don't think it's out of line to focus on Joey Barton in the 'Joey Barton' thread.

 

No need to overreact and call him a cunt or anything, but he was truly awful today and that's well within the bounds of this thread to discuss.  Every player is constantly criticised/praised on a game to game basis, Joey's no different.

No there not, if Tiote has a bad game, people say it is ony one game. If it's Barton, he is a thug, he has been to jail, he is a c***.

He had every right to say he's been England's best midfielder this season. 

 

Imagine how infuriating it would be when you're playing out of your skin but still being overlooked for England by people who constantly churn up shit like Carrick and Barry.  He was rightly putting out a case for himself.  Just because he had 1 bad performance on the back of this means fuck all.  He's not superhuman, he's allowed to have off days.

I'll look forward to you slagging one of your favourites for 'letting us down' when they have a one-off bad game. Pathetic.

How?

 

by making stupid comments in the press.

 

once those comments come out in public he should know that the level of scrutiny and pressure on him only amplifies, and also that there'll be other players out to get him.

 

today he was utter shite and let the pressure and stick get to him. spent more time being pissed about being called a shit gareth barry and getting into slagging matches with the ref and other players than concentrating on trying to play well.

 

fucking hell, can't people on here distinguise between criticism where it is warranted and having a vendetta against someone? if someone plays badly, no matter who it is, enrique, tiote, ben arfa or barton, then the performance will get criticised, especially if like Barton, and Dyer before him, have comments released in the press bigging themselves up. but it goes no further than that - criticism of one match or mistake.

People are being incredibly defensive about Barton.  He was awful today, and that's indisputable.  It's particularly notable he was so poor today because he had a lot of responsibility not only as captain but also as one of the few 1st choice players playing in his 1st choice position.  And he responded with a terrible, terrible performance.  That is all just plain fact.

 

I would suggest there are plenty of criticisms in the Tiote thread when he's been poor.  But Barton's poor play stood out today for the reasons mentioned above.
