Quote: TopBanana @ August 1 2011, 10:04 PM BSTHe's broken the law and acted like a complete dildo, but he's always come across as interesting in his interviews.
Good player, could do a job for Arsenal/Man Utd....at no financial risk.
Still a git, though.
He should be banned from playing football for life.
No more than Graham Rix should be banned from involvement in the game.
Barton is a serial offender though.
Quote: Nil Putters @ August 1 2011, 8:35 PM BSTGood riddance. I wonder who typed out his Twitter status for him?
He is acctually quite literate and clever with some of his tweets, he is scum though.
He is a great player as far as football is concerned.
When he's not suspended or in prison...
You watch though. ferguson will sign him as scholes ready made replacement.
Manchester City and England midfielder Gareth Barry has handed the keys to his luxury Spanish villa to a charity that cares for ill and deprived children, so they can use it whenever he is not in residence.
This is still fun though. http://www.punchinthefacebook.com/punch/mike-ashley
A tweet from Joey Barton within the last hour. Can't really see him being an Orwell fan.

I wouldn't mind Barton in United, I'm sure Ferguson could all but stop his off-field actions and we need some more midfield strenth with Hargreaves and Scholes gone, as well as fletchers health problems.
A lot of teams have scumbags, *cough*Ballotelli*cough* but Ferguson is pretty good at reigning in big egos, except Wayne Rooney.

Oh no. Not another f**king red. It's true what they say - like rats you're never further than 10 feet away from one.
Quote from Joey Barton.
"I have too much self worth and dignity!"
Barton could do well at Spurs, I think Harry is one of the few managers he'd get along with, and he'd give them that bit of muscle. In fact neighbours Arsenal need his type of play much more but I cannot see the rather pampered cosmoopolitan lot there accepting him. Wenger has to finally accept that he desperately needs a bit of steel to strengthen his talented but flaky midfield. They haven't been the same since Viera went.

Damn right we wouldn't, and I hope that no-one else with any sense of decency would either. *Pours pampered self a cow based cocktail*
But you know he's exactly what you need, not yet another tippy tappy lightweight from France or somewhere.
