Joey Barton’s autobiography

[SK14BLUE]

Just read his autobiography. Went in with an open mind as he did have an impact on our history, whether it was stubbing cigars out in youth players eyes, or assaulting teenage Everton fans on pre season Asian tours. But wow, starts off with his upbringing in what he describes as a difficult environment. You get the jist, parents split. Council estate. Wrong side of the tracks.blah blah. Fuck me we all carry this shit, or know a friend who does. Anyway I quite liked it for the first few chapters because I could relate to his tales and life experiences but my god by halfway through it, I realised that Joey or Joe, by the end of his reincarnation, likes to be addressed, was a compete narcissistic, ego filled, blame shifting **** of the highest order. Would eat himself if he was chocolate.
Likes to play the hard man, grew up in Huyton, estate this estate that. What an absolute hypocrite he really is. It was penned by him, supposedly in 2017, before he got into management. He’d been reborn, was an articulate, troubled soul, misunderstood by the red topped biased media, who really deep down, under the layers would have been a drug dealing scrote had he not been a footballer.
Delusional character in my opinion who like many footballers before him, think he’s the bees knees. What a prick. Anyone else read it?

He's the sort of troubled fellow who twats someone without thinking, then says, "Oopsy daisy, sorry about that mate," while they are collecting their teeth from the floor.

He's always a gnats fart away from lashing out. Which makes him a bonafide mentalist.

Think he’s borderline psychopath to be honest.

A close mate of mine grew up on the same estate as him, said he was a wrongun. Said they were just one of those families you stayed away from as much as you could.

Pretty much admits that. It’s the falseness of his whole, sorry tales of excuses that got me. How he’s got the neck to think he’s all highly intelligent and misunderstood is mind boggling. Weird guy.

Least favourite City player of all time. Talented footballer, to a degree, just a proper, proper ****.

Nasty ****. Said he hates bullying. Read his book. He was/is one.

He hates being bullied, has absolutely no issues with bullying others.

Reading a couple of philosophy books doesn't make you an intellect, understanding them does

I stopped reading his book as I got bored of reading how hard and intelligent he is. Blokes a fucking idiot. That should have been the only thing said in his book.

Briefly met him at a wedding at Gleneagles in 2005. He ended up spending the night with the groom’s PA. He was alright I guess, but didn’t strike me as an especially nice person. Bright, but not as bright as he thinks he is. Seemed like he was trouble.

The subsequent narrative and trajectory of his life are of no great surprise to me.
