Joey Barton

[give it to gordon]

Why on earth does Joey Barton have the media coverage that he does? He was a bog-standard Premier league footballer for a while, was thick as shit, had a very questionable mentality and has been bang average as a lower league manager. Why hasn't he faded into the wilderness yet?

He's scouse

He's clearly playing the game, say something "controversial" and you get free publicity. Does he have a book or something coming out?

EDIT: Just saw that he's touting his new podcast that's launching in the new year. There you have it

No thanks, you’re a turd.

He’s weeded out his more sensible followers and replaced them with university of life graduates.

“School of hard knocks” and a picture of their XL bully as a Facebook profile blokes.

Has he given up being a top class manager then?

That really made me laugh out loud. :-) There’s a very different word I’d put in place of manager…top class buffoon, simpleton, clod maybe?

Must be tough for him knowing no fucker has a good word about him.
