Joey Barton

don't like him full stop ! over rated player when really he was just a thug and mouth
the only good thing he ever did was getting the red card in the last game of the season giving us the time in injury time to win the title

A less talented, more shouty Jordan Henderson.

That's before you get in to the fact that he's as thick as shit and a generally detestable, violent racist.

Or maybe he's toned down his use of slurs now. Apparently he's read a book or something so he's obviously a new man.
 
Somebody will know this, but how many times was Barton sent off either playing for City or against them? The two obvious ones are the QPR match and the Spurs 4-3 FA Cup. Two of the greatest matches in English football, never mind our own history. And he was inadvertently a big part of those games, was wondering though if he had other red cards were those games memorable for any reasons?

Nine red cards in total throughout his career, five of them straight reds. Thought it might be more than that
Cant remember any others for/against City

Both would keep a team of psychiatrists in work for a long time. While Barton is a nasty little scouse thug there is something unnerving about Pearson. If I saw headlines that he'd gone on a killing spree I wouldn't be at all surprised.
My money would be on Pearson all day in that one.

Think there are 2 from Marseille, the double yellow and didn't he get a straight red for sticking his head into Big Conk?
 
Been down a bit of a Nigel Pearson rabbit hole. What a thoroughly peculiar man, though a part of me enjoys seeing the press pack getting a bit back of what they are happy to dish out







He is definitely slightly unhinged. I'd love to see him get that weasel Rob Harris by the throat.

He seemed to receive a yellow card every time we played Everton.

Only got sent off twice whilst playing for us, once against Spurs in the cup, once in the final minutes at home against Bolton (2006) when we got beat 0-2 and Anelka scored twice for them.

IMO he was a "decent" player for us but a total loon off the pitch where his antics were reprehensible.

Agreed. I honestly thought when we sold him we were going down the next year, we'd some decent youngsters at the time (MJ, Ireland, Nedum, Micah) and Dunne but the rest of the squad were pure shite.
 
I'm back in the Sixties - It was 65-66 season and they didn't 'whip' us. I had a 3-0 thumping lodged in my head for the Ashton Gate game. We drew both - 2-2 at home and 1-1 at Brighstowe - and it was Neil Young who got our goal not D. Kevan. Mind, I can't remember who scored our last goal so a game from 55 years ago doesn't have much of a chance.
