Joey Barton - football douchebag deluxe

[marty21]

Newcastle FC is a super soap opera which keeps on giving

At least it's not us, for a change

Although we just seem inept rather than soap-opera like...

 

[agricola]

Just as one hates Barton again, he goes and says something that is exactly spot on. Shearer is and always was a hypocritical arch-twat who, hopefully, is about to get a small amount of what he deserves.

Barton's sending off was mindless, but if it helps relegate that shower of absolute vermin it will of least been of some use.

Barton apparently said that Shearer is a shit manager.

even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day

unless it's a digital clock and the batteries have run down then it doesn't tell the time at all !

Ditto for Tottenham. however, we DO seem rather good at the soap opera stuff

FWIW Barton is a cunt of the highest order and I hope he never steps foot onto a football field again. Think others here may be right though - some mug will offer him another chance and will think he can be tamed. Just hope it aint Harry.........

Tottenham are a mixture. There's an element of newcastle-ish-ness in the constant sacking of managers and the doom-messiah-hope-we'regoingtobeinthechampionsleague-doom cycle of the place, but it's somehow a bit less soap opera-esque.

The lasagne incident was slightly more west hammish in its ineptness

Fair one. Lasagne-gate made me cringe all summer after.

This element of farce has been thus far missing from Newcastle's shambolic decline. Perhaps we will have a mushy peas/fish supper incident before the seasons out........

Lots of people in Epsom still waiting to see if Barton has the fucking nerve to return home.

The ref was mindless for sending him off or Barton was mindless for his challenge? Which is it?

 

[SK.]

he will be a cut price bargain, particularly if newcastle go down - one of the promoted clubs would have him, brum, wolves or whoever goes up via the play offs

Usual recycled rumours But apparently it has been reported that Big Sam wants him at Blackburn??

Yeah, but he puts a lot of work the Docs way like.

the second one, obviously

 

[Spod]

Bad challenge from behind. A potential leg-breaker. Ref had little choice.

 

[nino_savatte]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Barton is no footballer.

 

[Discordia]

He's a pretty good footballer actually.

Now, as for being a human, that is questionable.

 

[nino_savatte]

He spends more time on the pitch kicking players rather than the ball. He's no footballer; he's a thug.

he's a shit footballer. he can pass and tackle but he can't make it onto the pitch most games

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act

Brilliant stuff and I hope he keeps it up. Why has no other player applied Orwell to the field of football before and what more can we expect now?

 

[Pickman's model]

are you sure no other player has applied orwell to the field of football before? i think we can expect a flood of people posting up other examples.

 

[marty21]

I'm sure 27 years ago, many footballers may have said 1984

Pretty sure Keegan applied the Orwell inspired Four legs good, two legs bad policy at Newcastle last time round.

I think he wanted Shergar on the wing -

 

[big eejit]

To be fair I can see quite a big Orwellian influence on Barton's career - certainly the line about a boot stamping on someone's face rings a bell.

 

[g force]

He's a cunt but for his description of Lampard and now this he continues to amuse
