Joey Barton

[CheeseToastie]

As much as he is a ball bag everyone on here there is not one person on here that wouldn't love to have an international cap 2 minutes or 200 games he's probably done what most people dream of

[IDM]

So what if he had a relatively successful career as a pro footballer, which as has been said most of us could never have dreamed of.

That doesn’t excuse his behaviour does it.?  He’s had enough talent to make a decent living from football, but does that excuse his bilious attitudes and being convicted of t**tting his wife.??

"played football for England"?

Barton?

That's rather stretching a point.

He spent 30 minutes looking like Tom trying to catch Jerry as the Spanish midfield ran round him at will.

It was one of the most excruciatingly embarrassing examples of a player being hyped up way beyond his actual ability that you could ever see.

I actually felt sorry for him.

(Only kidding. I laughed my cock off.)

You don’t play hundreds of games in the Prem on hype alone.

I don't doubt that.

I'm just setting the record straight on him ever being anywhere close to genuine national team standard.
