Joey Barton

I don’t know a single blue who has anything positive to say about the thug whatsoever.

Read a fair few on here and heard a few at games, some fans will accept or deflect bad behaviour especially if the player is currently playing or was decent and is important to the team.

Unsurprisingly once they have fucked off it becomes less but even then you still get some.

How this motherfucker lasted 5 years at city really does sum up how much of a basketcase club we were in the mid 2000's.

1. Cigar stub in teammate’s eye: In December 2004, Barton was at a Christmas party with his Manchester City teammates when he got angry at youth player Jamie Tandy for trying to set his shirt on fire. Barton retaliated by stubbing a lit cigar in Tandy’s eye, causing a burn injury. Barton was fined by the club and later sued by Tandy for damages. It’s worth noting that Joey Barton was dressed as the disgraced pervert Jimmy Saville at the time.

2. Mass brawl in pre-season friendly: In July 2004, Barton sparked a mass brawl during a pre-season friendly against Doncaster Rovers. Barton fouled Doncaster player Paul Green with a reckless tackle, which led to a 10-man melee between both teams. He was then on the receiving end of a hard tackle himself, and more fights broke out on the pitch. Barton was criticised by his manager Kevin Keegan for his overly physical approach.

3. Assaulting Ousmane Dabo: In May 2007, Barton assaulted his Manchester City teammate Ousmane Dabo during a training session. Barton punched Dabo several times, leaving him with a detached retina, a broken nose and severe bruising. Barton pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to a four-month suspended jail term and 200 hours of community service. He was also banned for six matches by the FA and sacked by Manchester City.

4. Jail sentence for street fight: In December 2007, Barton was involved in a street fight in Liverpool city centre after a night out. Barton punched one man 20 times and attacked another teenager, breaking his teeth. Barton was arrested and charged with assault and affray. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months in prison, of which he served 74 days.

And this was just when he was at City, theres been a whole mountain of shit thats happened since then. Horrible horrible individual.

Because he was often the only player who actually fucking tried on the pitch. You have to make allowances for cunts when that **** is the only thing keeping you from being relegated.

Tandy got charged himself for kicking fuck out of his partner, of course it was Joey's fault.

Ex-Manchester City player blamed Joey Barton for spiral into addiction

Jamie Tandy, 31, was spared jail for brutal assaults on his partner Lisa Stewart after telling the court how he was 'cast aside' by the club after the incident at the Christmas party in 2004.

No Barton in those Pearce seasons we get relegated and Sheikh Mansour wouldn't have bought us. Needs must, he's a thick fucker with a temper but we've had worse playing for us since like Adam Johnson and Mendy.

Hahaha he has a temper. Not sure how Mendy is worse what with him being found innocent.

Anyhow I will leave you with your I don't give a shit as long as it benefits city attitude.

Pmsl.
