pressingon Posted 18 September, 2011 Share Posted 18 September, 2011 Joey Barton Now on sky "goals on sunday", would never defend some on his onfield antics but speaks like a true fan. At least he's wearing a great Bob Dylan T shirt Now off to game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 18 September, 2011 Share Posted 18 September, 2011 I like him, he is a proper character and not afraid to speak him mind rather than the sanitised, boring stuff most come out with. He is actually quite right with a lot of what he says and quite funny with it. I am sure i am in the minority on here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scudamore Posted 18 September, 2011 Share Posted 18 September, 2011 He's the Jimmy White of football...at least he was until he stubbed a cigar out on my eye ball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is actually quite right with a lot of what he says and quite funny with it. I am sure i am in the minority on here though. Sums it up perfectly. I would also add he is a very good player and has been quite under rated. I would love it when Saints get promoted if we could sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 18 September, 2011 Share Posted 18 September, 2011 A decent enough player whose career and potential have been blighted by a bad temperament and attitude. I wouldn't want him anywhere near the team personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted 18 September, 2011 Share Posted 18 September, 2011 Not at £80k per week! Hes on about half that. He was great yesterday and was a great signing on a free and like Adel Taarabt, always makes the games entertaining but fans of the opposition will usually hate them. Event he wolves fans were saying he was right to signal 3-0 at the end after the abuse he got from the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 18 September, 2011 Share Posted 18 September, 2011 One of those players thats a right ****, but you would rather have him on the bus plssing out then outside it plssing in. Bit like robbie savage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnersaint Posted 18 September, 2011 Share Posted 18 September, 2011 The Charlie Sheen of professional football. Always liked him as a player. Him and Colin are made for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_bert Posted 18 September, 2011 Share Posted 18 September, 2011 Really like him as a player, and as a bloke. He is a massive Smiths fan too, so he clearly enjoys decent music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benali Saint Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 I like him. He always gives 110%. I always get the impression that he cares for his club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 Good enough player, not afraid to say what he feels which is a good change from the usual drones from footballers. Just don't like this hard man image he thinks he is, he isnt at all - someone like Vinny Jones would of had him for breakfast. Making bad and nasty challenges doesnt give you the 'hard midfielder' tag or otherwise you would class Scholes in the same boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 He's smarter than his tweets and his A-Z of Nietzsche quotes suggest - q.like him, though he's fast becoming a parody and pantomime figure. Still would prefer a team of 11 Nemanja Vidics, ruthless and totally committed players but who do not make a song and dance about things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 Not according to the player himself. He said that to another player as part of a wind up. Its no different to how kids tell each other their dads earn £100k in the playground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint.tom.clancy Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 Love him - gets on with the game despite all the abuse he gets everywhere, and IMO is a quality player. If someone like scott parker (who I rate) can get in the England squad - he deserves a shout. Speaks the truth as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 he would compliment Beckham greatly when we sign them both in the january transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Uwe Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 He needs to calm down a bit though. At the end of every game (or mid-way through!) he seems to be arguing with someone. No doubt a lot of the time this is down to the oppo winding him up, but one day I can just see him losing it and getting a lifetime ban or something similar. I do however respect him a lot for the way he has come back. I'm sure he appreciates how lucky he is to still be playing professional football; his record would certainly have gone against him in any other profession. But the fact he is a good player means people want to have him in their team. Maybe not chairmen though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin Strain Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 Good enough player, not afraid to say what he feels which is a good change from the usual drones from footballers. Just don't like this hard man image he thinks he is, he isnt at all - someone like Vinny Jones would of had him for breakfast. Making bad and nasty challenges doesnt give you the 'hard midfielder' tag or otherwise you would class Scholes in the same boat. Vinnie Jones was a mincer too. Jimmy Case was a proper hard man - dished it out but, when he got it back, he didn't complain, got up and got on with it. I remember Jones giving it the big I am at the Dell in the early 90's, until Jimmy stuck a heavy, fair, challenge on him and he was rolling around like a girl. When he eventually got a chance of revenge, Jimmy just got up, shook his hand and got on with it. Barton is a very good payer, but does roll around too much to be considered in any way a hard man - if he went down like that in a pub he'd be laughed out of town.

Badger Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 A decent enough player whose career and potential have been blighted by a bad temperament and attitude. I wouldn't want him anywhere near the team personally. Agreed. Barton is an arsehole.Anyone stubbing a cigar in the eye of someone else should be banged up.

Saint_lambden Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 What he's done in the past to some individuals is horrific but I have time for him on the pitch, great player and great commitment. A very, very good signing for QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Fan Dan Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 I think he's great, he's appears to be very intelligent and articulate and what he usually has to say about other footballers (for example the amount who release bios at the age of about 21) is absolutely correct. You know that once his career is over his own book will certainly be worth a read. Plus his 50's style haircut is damn cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammysaint Posted 19 September, 2011 Share Posted 19 September, 2011 I think Barton is becoming a legend for his performances, shame he speaks out too much but i like it shows passion and him being a normall person. As for the Karl Henry hes a nob, championship player struggling in the prem so hes hacking players every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
