Incidentally, Onuoha is one of the most articulate and insightful pundits around. How inconvenient that he's black and there to tick a box.
I reckon most people pay their hard earned purely so they can watch the game not with any expectation of the punditry at all. Very rare that I watch the pre or post match so called analysis even after a great City performance. I don’t need a so called expert to explain to me what I’ve just seen.I think this Joey Barton character is an absolute degenerate clown who lacks any intellect to communicate his points but people pay their hard-earned money to these TV channels and streaming services to receive the top end analysis of the game, it's all part of the fan experience, it's not just about watching the game but receiving a package. These TV companies have a duty to appoint the best knowledge football experts in the business.
It's all a transparent performance. He's decided that he's going to cultivate an online presence on podcasts or YouTube by appealing to "anti-woke" simpletons.
It's no coincidence that this all came after he appeared on a podcast of another lowlife shortly before this. His twitter feed is also full of someone sending out the message of "I'm outside the mainstream".
All barring that bit - surely there's no need for a winner in this particular dual............ ;-)Agree with all this. I'd add that the amount the game has moved on in the last 8 years means that loads of players who retired around that time don't actually have much of a clue what they're going on about when talking about the current game.
About Barton... I stuck up for him when Tandy happened, when Dabo happened, when various red cards happened. All moments, which could have been accidental or provoked, so I gave him the benefit of any doubt.
He doesn't deserve any benefit now or any attention. He's *chosen* to be a prick now repeatedly. He's now achieved something that I'd never have imagined possible - he's made me forget club loyalties. If him and Neville were to end up in a fight, I'd be hoping that Neville smashed his face in. It's all he deserves.
Hopefully he will give that plastic rag twat a dig on way outHe'll be on Talksport with his own show in no time. Maybe needs a drink driving charge to secure that spot though.
Correct but platforms like X can’t help themselves with the usual pile on.
He knew he would get it and they have delivered in spades. You can’t demand he shuts up whilst no one else will.
He can’t lose now.
The people he tried to goad into an argument refused to respond.
I wish so fucking hard that the people getting outraged by all this would resist the temptation to tweet about or at him over this, because he's getting what he wants.It's all a transparent performance. He's decided that he's going to cultivate an online presence on podcasts or YouTube by appealing to "anti-woke" simpletons.
