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.

EXCLUSIVE: West Ham back in for Barton

 

Published 23:01 16/08/11 By Darren Lewis

 

West Ham are set to reignite their interest in Joey Barton.

 

The East Londoners are monitoring the situation regarding the controversial midfielder, who has yet to sign a new contract at Newcastle.

 

The Championship side discussed a move for Barton earlier this month, when the Magpies first made it clear earlier that they had made him available on a free transfer.

 

At the time, the Hammers' interest in the player is said to have been described as “lukewarm”.

 

Now, however, they are waiting to see if a club in the Premier League's top four moves for Barton, or whether he would be up for the challenge of dropping down a division again.

 

A move to Upton Park would see his midfielder reunited with his former Newcastle team-mate Kevin Nolan and Sam Allardyce, the manager who brought him to the Toon from Manchester City.

 

In West Ham’s eyes, Barton’s considerable baggage is offset by his ability and the success of his relationship with Nolan, which helped Newcastle gain promotion from the Championship two seasons ago.

 

When Nolan - on a four-year deal worth £55,000-a-week - was sold by the Geordies, Barton tweeted: “’Great player, leader, captain, person, trainer and mostly a friend for life.”

 

Barton has big fans within the boardroom at Upton Park, but would have to accept a massive cut in wages currently said to be in the region of £80,000-a-week.

 

The star has a house in Newmarket, a Suffolk town that is less than an hour's drive from the Hammers’ training ground.

 

But any West Ham move for him could hinge on whether Scott Parker remains at the club.

 

Stoke, Aston Villa, Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been linked with England midfielder Parker, last season's Footballer of the Year.

 

But no club has yet matched West Ham's £8million valuation of a player who has three years left on his current contract.
