Joey Barton

[mexico1970]

I fluffed my pillows about 10 mins ago but I’m still lying in bed, too hungover to sit up.

I hope is was expensive booze mate, it should clear up easier and more quickly then.

It’s a thread titled “Joey Barton” Who would you like to talk about in it?

Curtain twitching cunts thinking they can change the world, using social media to call a rock a rock and think they are clever for doing it.

We know he's a thug, and now we are getting a million people trying to outdo each other trying to express it.

I find it hard to feel sorry for someone who's such a bellend.

I understand your view. Barton doesn't help himself but sometimes I recognise someone with a lot of demons. I don't feel sorry for him but I try not to be so judgemental. I feel much the same way about Wayne Rooney which I know makes me a minority on here.

Lots of red wine and a few fairly expensive tequilas but I fear the fact I only got in at 6am means this bed is likely to be home for at least another 6 hrs.
Wasn’t a good idea texting my mrs for some breakfast in bed. Joey might have a point, the opposite sex can be very temperamental and not use the correct terms when answering a simple question..

All self inflicted. Every one of Barton’s and Rooney misdemeanours are solely down to their own selfish needs.
That’s not having demons, it’s being a ****.

I mean dont spread his tweets , that is what he lives for

His message is totally wrong.

He isn’t saying Aluko isn’t a good pundit.

He’s saying women shouldn’t be commenting on men’s football.

They’re completely different things.

Women shouldn’t be commenting on football is not what he sets out to say.

His original point is there is people being given jobs in football to appease people and tick boxes based on their gender, sexuality, race etc and uses women commenting in football as an example.

It becomes his view that women shouldn’t be commenting on football because his reason for his original point is that you have to have played the game at a high level to do so which automatically means that in his eyes no women qualify and therefore shouldn’t comment on the game.

Once this has ran its course and it has no more legs left to run he will choose another demographic in a different area to try and enhance his point and stay relevant.

The new way of thinking is that they are exactly the same as us even when they are not, please correct your thinking and whisper into your listening TV "All women are great".

Hes a twat dont get me wrong but i bet there is a hell of lot that agree with him without putting it so forcefully :(
Nothing against female pundits but there are a fair few that are there to tick boxes which is all wrong ................

So you are saying no woman should get a job as it would only be because they tick a box ? Think about that, white males only then ?

There are awful pundits on both sides of the sexes. Female pundits are easy pickings though when it comes down to having a go.
I’ve found the easiest way of not getting unnecessarily aggravated by said pundits is to switch on at KO, do something in the 15 mins at HT (I dip into the match day thread just to reaffirm my life isn’t all bad) then switch off at FT and get on with my life.
Works for me.

How have you got that opinion from what he said?

 

[Kippaxpete]

So many non facts in that tweet , he is a unhinged **** , stop giving him attention

Can you not see the irony in your comment?

Some say colour as well as sex is a tick box , some are combined so not them leaves white males does it not ?

That’s very sexist telling her to go find the iron..

Not afraid to be ironic from time to time

It's a full on narrative she's caught and is running hell for leather to the touchline, no truth will ever stop them they will just bomb on in the confidence that even if what they say has ne bearing on a topic they can be as racist or sexist as they want .

**obviously revisionism changes like the wind and has a very small shelf life ;)

Spot on pal. Joey’s a wrong un but it doesn’t mean that everything he says is wrong.

And I think a lot of people miss the point about pundits - they aren’t there to offer any great tactical insight, most viewers don’t need that. What they are there for is to have a quick chat about the game as familiar faces and engaging personalities who (club allegiances aside) we enjoyed watching play the game and remember the big games they were involved in.

Anonymous, dull, earnest female pundits and co comms who we’d never heard of until they were foisted upon us and who can’t entertain us with little nuggets of information or regale us with stories about current managers or players because they’ve never encountered them just bring the mood right down.

I think we are witnessing an actual breakdown via the medium of X over the last 24hrs

If that's the case, I suspect it's a breakdown that's lasted the past 20 years! With any luck though, this latest meltdown might be his last before being carted off by the men in white coats.

With all due respect, I'm not sure you understand. Your comment was clearly unknowingly ironic in that the fact you posted it undermined your central argument.
