Joey Barton’s autobiography

I’d have been early teens when we was really coming through with us. Not ashamed to admit he was one of my favourite players at the time (let’s be honest, there wasn’t many to pick from).

Read the autobiography a couple of years ago, enjoyed it too. I’m in the minority, he has his faults but I can’t help but like him.
 
Thought about reading it a few times but just find the idea that he's an intellectual too funny. I remember him being interviewed by the BBC about philosophy and he was quoting Nietzsche and not understanding it. What a fool.

One of his tales is to put big Ned up for a pre match interview. Apparently he’s boring with no knowledge or insight so won’t give the opposing teams any positives. What a ****. Nedum has more brains in one digit than this scouse, feral rat.
 
I, like many City fans, was excited when he broke through as he had talent and seemed to really care about competing which was not the case with a lot of players of that era. The dodgy incidents just kept coming and it got harder and harder to make excuses for him. When he left City I was glad to see the back of him.

In that era we had other talented midfielders like Ireland and Johnson who failed to realise their potential. Not sure whether this was due to their characters or whether it was something lacking in the way the club handled youngsters at that time.

A few years ago my wife did an Early Years Level 3 course and it was eye opening to see how the first few years would shape a person.

Aristotle said "Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man." so Barton was probably doomed to be a wrong un and nothing the club could do would change that.
 
Barton is typical of the scouse race.
An overly developed sense of their own importance and cleverness.
They see themselves as outsiders and they are, but not for the reasons they think.

"The reason I'm successful is that I work hard. I'm more intelligent than about 97% of the British Isles. If anything football has held me back. If I wasn't a footballer I'd be still more successful than 97% of youse. Still harder working than 97% of youse. Still living life not just taking part. Some of you want to get off you arse's and take part in life. Before you know it you will be dead and know one will even know u existed"
Joey/Joe Baryons own words. Incoherent, unarticulated ramblings of a genius.****

Seeing as how the 'british isles' is pretty much all comprised of Rock, sand, water and vegetation, I'm not surprised that Joey is in the top 3% intelligence bracket...

She worked around professional footballers so shouldn’t have been impressed by that per se, and I actually don’t think it did her any favours, career wise, which I thought was unfair. Two single people in their early 20s in shagging each other, pissed-up at a wedding shocker. Had plenty of such experiences myself in my early 30s. She did nothing wrong.

Do tell, which footballers did you shag at weddings [emoji15]
 
I never forget that look on his face when he hit Aguero on the final day. It's the kind of look you only see on the faces of twats who enjoy hurting others and playing the hard man, like a desperate schoolyard bully.

Nasty tosser, that's all he is. One of the few ex-City players I have zero time for.

They were on the verge of relegation and he was trying to get others sent off. Which is kind of plausible, but added to all the other incidents it doesn't wash. I thought he beating up the scouser for relentlessly tainting him about his half brother going to jail was understandable when pissed up, and something a lot of people would have done. However as these things keep happening, no matter what the excuse, shows he is incorrigible and reckless at best.

He talks about himself a lot. Sometimes in the third person mode. Tries so hard to come across as an intelligent, caring human being. It doesn’t wash. Arrogant, self centred, entitled, weak ****. Thinks it’s cool to throw his scrawny frame around other people who are probably more likely from worse backgrounds than he thins he’s from. A nasty person.
