I await the articles stating he won't play till next season Not sure how old the kit launch video is, but he's in that, that could have been from the week before he went to France though I suppose.

mattypnufc Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Well according to twitter, Pardspew has said he's suffered a minor set back and won't feature this season. Pretty much as predicted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Didn't expect him to play any part in our last 3 games anyway. I look forward to seeing him in action during pre-season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 If we hadn't signed him in January would people be saying forget about him the same way they have done with Ireland? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Absolutely no point in risking him. The last thing we want is for him to break down during a token league appearance and miss some or all of preseason. Barton's form this season is testament to what a full summer can do for your fitness and form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Would be nice to see him get 2-3 minutes in the last home game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 They should have said a long time ago he won't be risked this season. His comeback has been put back so many bloody times it's become tedious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then last 4 or 5 games, then Liverpool, then Birmingham, then the last 2 games, then never!!!! hehehe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Realistically I didn't want him risked this season, but at the same time I would have loved a wee cameo appearence on the last day. No doubt he'll do the lap of honour after WBA with the rest of the lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 blessing in disguise, never so the point in bringing him back for the last 3 games personally. also lets the club trot out the 'like a new signing line' in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 No surprise. Slightly disappointing though. It is especially when we have one player returning from injury who is the antithesis of HBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 The rest of the team aren't playing again this season, anyway. His return was the only real thing left to look forward to this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
