Will Barton's return lead to better football?

[Unlucky Luque]

Nice interview once again with him. Hope he'll play tonight.

you know

[Kaizero]

Sounded like he did well today, well happy if it was as it sounded.

[Cajun]

Yeah sounds like he broke up a lot of attacks, lost the ball a couple of times but that will be ironed out with games.

 

Just hope he stays fit, stays not mental and gives us another option for the run in.

 

I don't expect it to happen but a City Barton alongside Guthrie for the rest of the season would give me a hard on.

it would give all of us a hard on

[Dave]

We'll see.

[JH]

He should be in the fucking centre for one.

[Pilko]

We'll see.

 

Not really an acid test though, is it? He's been shunted out wide left.

[Dave]

Excuses already.

 

But nah, interesting to see if he completes the match first (or however much of it Hughton wants) without getting injured/sent off.

[Pilko]

To be fair, an out of position Barton should still be able to take the piss out the basement club.

[junkhead]

yay! let this be a new beginning Joey!

Doesn't matter you've been proved right.

[Ronaldo]

Joey Barton.

Pass of the season!  :clap2: :clap2:

[Disco]

Was superb tonight.

[Guest BooBoo]

Sublime assist and showed glimpses that suggest he can still be a very good footballer if he knuckles down.

[M4]

Shame he didn't bury that late chance, would have been epic.

[Skirge]

Premier League defence splitting pass for our 2nd

[Pilko]

A poor first 15 minutes or so, but after that was fantastic. Great performance.

[Nobody]

Not only was that pass sublime, he did very well just before it.

But seriously, that assist :fwap: :fwap:

[jdckelly]

thats what we know barton has sublime pass, if he can stay fit he'll be a hell of an asset next season

[Cajun]

He has been out so long and my memory is awful but is it common knowledge him and Jose don't get on?

 

Seeing them two tonight brought back memories that they really seem to not like each other. They will only pass to each other if there is no other option.

 

Barton did play well tonight though.

[Foluwashola]

One of the few Premier league standard players we currently have. Bit mental but what the hey 

[Guest firetotheworks]

They once had an argument during a match when Jose didn't track a runner, but other than that I dunno. When Jose scored against Forest, Barton had his arm around him and congratulated him.

[Cajun]

It might have just been that, I thought they seemed a little uncomfortable with each other tonight but it's probably just me.

They had a very public row last season - I think it was the Blackburn away game. Enrique didn't cover back or close a man down, and when we lost a goal, Barton really let rip.

 

They didn't combine well tonight, but seeing as Barton is a right-footed central midfield player, it was always going to be difficult.
