Joey Barton

The thing that makes me laugh with this whole situation is the 'fake' outrage from media outlets and ex-professionals... the very same ones who were slagging him off big-time after his performances in the Euros!!!

Pathetic it is. So they slated him in the national team and said he wasn't good enough, pep agrees with these arseholes and drops him then there's outrage. If joe isn't going to play then we need to ship him out because nobody wants a sulking goal keep lingering around when pep is trying to build us a brilliant young team
 
Never considered Joe to be 'world class' he is a good keeper but with limitations. Pep has picked up on this and deemed it necessary to move him to one side. The same thing is happening to others Nasri, Yaya, Mangler and Bony because they have also been considered surplus to requirements. Excellent management imo as this timely removal of excess baggage greatly facilitates the introduction of a new way of operating.
I'd assume you're in the minority on here then if you have never at one point considered Joe Hart to be world class....particular after some of the performances he has put in against the very best in the world.

Average keepers can have good games. For Example; every average keeper we have ever played against.

On a serious note, I have always thought that he was top 15 goalkeeper in the world and one of the best in certain aspects. 1:1's & the willingness to put his body on the line. He never shied away from taking a rocket from point blank range. Not sure if it's skill or stupidity, but credit to him, he was one of the best in that aspect.
 
So -let's ignore Mr Bartons past. Clearly he is a knob. But in this case he expressed an opinion - probably related to the fact he is being paid to - let me think - oh yeah, express an opinion. And because it was negative to City's management he isn't allowed to have it? Maybe he should have said "I have no opinion on the subject however please can I get paid still for expressing no opinion?" that would have got the listeners ringing in to agree/disagree and the advertisers paying more as the listening figures continued to increase. In my opinion Pep is a muppet for playing Cab over Hart - even if he wants Hart out it makes more sense to play him until he finds a replacement. What if we draw cos of Cabs and at the end of the season lose the league by a point - great decision then. Unless he is trying to make a statement or indeed Joe is doing something behind the scenes we don't know. If it is a football decision then he clearly does not know a good goalkeeper from a bad one. Everyone had a blind spot - that would be his

The problem is more that Joey talks about human decency when he is anything but a decent human being himself

Maybe the opinion he could have stated is that the club City was when he left was a club that put up up with his criminal behaviour until he informed them that he was going to a bigger club in Newcastle. He rewarded the club's loyalty by a criticism of the manager and the chairman in an interview on GMR which was little more than a carping whine and then left - to go to Tyneside via prison. He's now trying to continue his disgruntled vendetta because his timing was so awry and should have tried to conceal it by giving it in that pathetic French accent of his. His behaviour to this club (and most others) is disgraceful, he doesn't have a right to an opinion on Joe Hart or Pep Guardiola and any organisation which pays him to give one really does need medical help.
