Ronaldo Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 You'd think he'd been sent off in the first minute. The fact a interview has been translated this week shouldn't change the fact he's allowed to have an off day. But it has, clearly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'm just laughing at the "disgraceful" comments. Joey Barton wasn't "disgraceful" today. De Jong breaking Ben Arfa's leg is disgraceful, Cattermole's record of late, dangerous challenges is disgraceful, Almunia's goalkeeping skills are disgraceful. Barton tried to hard today. Another day and he would have played a blinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 he despises people for exactly what he's just done.....being bigger than their performances and todays wasn't a 'captains performane'. keep your gob shut and let your football do your talking.

Disco Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 May well of been poor today but it wasn't like he went hiding at any point which would be far worse. Nobody is going to be class every game and he is no exception. Its when he is shit for a few matches on the trot I'll start worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'd rather have Barton who puts in 4 or 5 good performances in every 6-7 games than Danny Guthrie for example who in 3 seasons hasn't put anything like a MOTM performance in unlike Barton last week. Fact is we should not be expecting s big performance from him everygame and pp.'s criticism has axtually shown how important he is to us now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its when he is s*** for a few matches on the trot I'll start worrying. maybe should have hid for a bit istead of yelling fuck off for what was a deliberate and obvious foul and letting that distract him from them scoring from the resulting free kick.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 People honestly picking him apart because he complained about a free kick? Madras has a go at Barton over giving the free-kick then is soo arrogant to the fact he blames Simpson and not taylor for the defending of it. Double standards.

Ronaldo Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 get used to him, ronaldo has his faves and hates and will defend them to the end, regardless of what actually happens. I often manage to find affection for players who are consistently instrumental in us picking up points. Fickle, I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
