The Future of Joey Barton

Barton is a fucking moron.

What happend to Joey washing his hands of the dirty, impulsive business of Twitter?  Well, so long as he stays off the booze, I suppose...

I suppose someone like him is going to inevitabley exist in Football.

This is good, via sthnjeff on them Twitters.

The argument in the "Open Letter" doesn't really work.  The author goes from showing that Joey is the least bad of his clan to saying that he's not doing enough.  Is it too much to accept that a human life - even that of a professional footballer - is a complicated thing?

Joey still hasn't calmed down yet.

Now he's on Twitter threatening to out Gary Lineker for being gay.

I don't think that an avowed fan of Morrissey is likely to be making that threat.  Skeletons in the closet could mean anything.

Though you're right, he is mad.  Real mad.

Well that's not a good endorsement of his character then (f*cking sub species c*nt).

I like Barton. He's an idiot, but god he's entertaining

I was actually referring to Morrissey.  Fell a bit sad that Joey has undone all his efforts over the past few years with that act of petulance and his twitter vent.

What would Nietzsche say I wonder? (probably something like "arrrrrrse")

Sorry I've been off the board so long. All I can say is I hope QPR sack the prick. No need for him in the English game. I hear Wet Spam are interested. Let them have him. "Small" Sam likes that style of player- unlike your avaerage West Ham fan.

Sounds like a couple muppets tried to show how 'hard' they are.

It's good reason to think that he's not talking about Lineker's sexuality.

And what did Morrissey ever do to you?  Did somebody play "Meat is Murder" during what would have otherwise been a lovely roast dinner?

Tweeted this weekend that he would "walk in" to the England team if not for his behaviour. 

This is probably true.  England desparately need a man who can reliably deliver crosses.

...and hooks and uppercuts?

Joey and Mario on the same field again this morning would have been brilliant. 

He called me a sub species.

That's why I called him a f*cking sub species c*nt.

Barton fined half a million pounds by QPR and stripped of his captaincy

Why doesn't that happen to racists?

It always comes down to animal rights with Morrissey.  Fair enough, I suppose.
