Joey's Return ?

[Damocles]

My heroes dont demand a move on the last day of the transfer windo.
My heroes dont hold OUR club to ransom by demanding a "LOYALTY BONUS" when the are sold instea of sacked for yet another case of GROSS MISCONDUCT.
My heroes dont attack a 15 year old in a bar on a pre season club tour.
My heroes dont attack a team mate before a local derby
My heroes dont stub cigars out on a teenager's eye.

I wont boo him, I certainly wont aplaud him, he will just be another player for the opposition.

This. Never forget how much of a **** this guy was to us.

I'll do the same thing as I did when he came with Newcastle two seasons ago; boo him mercilessly and hope he gets sent off, the prick.

I wont boo Joey, forget that he can be a knob off the pitch, he isnt on his own. You can list countless pro footballers who are knobs off the pitch and then are thousands of ordinary knobheads in our country.

Why boo him ? when he played for City he ran his balls off and at times looked like the only one who really gave a shit. When we lost he looked hurt.

Working and training every day with lame passengers like Dabo and watching them just picking up wages. I am glad he twatted Dabo, if we are honest most of us Blues given the chance would of done it for him. Players like Dabo if they returned I would boo but not Joey.

I only care about what players do when they pull on the blue shirt and Joey always did his best in the blue shirt so thats enough for me.

"Whose the Blue boy bossing the midfield, Joey Barton and he'll put you on your arse"

When he played for us he was our hero, we sang the above, we sang the song about him being "Our Colin Bell". He left because he had to not because he wanted to.

People who boo him = Fickle, short memories and no class

Read my post again, As a fan of Man City, I judge players, both ex and current by what they do on the pitch, that is what matters, that is what wins football matches and brings success to your club.

Your first two points will have been driven by agents, which we all agree are a big problem in the modern game. Joey wasnt bright enough to manage his finances.
Your final three points suggest that he was a knob OFF THE PITCH, as I stated.

Well it's not the first time he's come back is it? He returned in Newcastle's relegation season when we beat them 2-1 and Bellers scored his 1st goal.

I seem to remember him getting a ripple of applause with a few boos. In honesty, nobody really cared about him and didn't pay him too much attention. He was their best player to be fair but that wasn't difficult because they were total dogshite.

I seem to remember him getting booed every time he touched the ball in that game! Wasn't that Given's debut aswell?

No we bought Given in the following days after the game. All the Newcastle fans were singin 'you're gettin sacked in the mornin' to Joe Hart. Oh how things change....

Re: JOEY'S RETURN..?

I won't boo him, surely it's time to move on.

Looks like he's started to sort himself out, fair play to him

I'd give 'im the benefit of the doubt, again. Polite applause, 'cos he saved our bloody skins on more than one occasion. If he wants to be 'nawty' in the match, we can always change our minds at HT and FT.
