Topic: Joey Barton:- What I think of Luis Suarez, Liverpool and cheating in football.

[Matt8Pie]

Then he went and ruined it all by making a fool of himself on Twitter.

Love him or hate him, he's doing exactly what it takes to be remembered after he retires and carry on a career in the game in some means through the media.

Joey Barton in his front room with his i Phone/Pad is a different proposition from Joey Barton out on the town or on the pitch.

One you can like and speaks sense, the other is an embarrassment.

Funny that, because he came across as a complete c*nt tonight.

[Jam Man]

I watched the Mansifeld game with different commentary (Al Jazeera Sports, not ESPN) and so was amazed by the ferocity of the press and media the next day.

Makes you realise just how much influence the TV station can have on forming / guiding public feeling.

In this case John Champion set the tone for the reaction, coupled with plenty of pictures of heartbroken Mansield fans & directors, and the usual suspects were lighting their torches ready to "burn the witch".

Hope he smases two or three against the Mancs today and John Champion implodes......

Nice constructed column by Joey here. Take a note John Champion you clown before accusing people of cheating.

The closest I’ve came to out-and-out cheating in a real game was at the end of last season for QPR against Manchester City. I knew I was getting sent off and I tried to get one of the City players sent off. I’m not proud of it, but I was thinking ‘this gives us the best opportunity of winning and the best opportunity of staying up.’ It was misguided, but at the time, it was simply doing what I thought was best for the team.

Had to laugh at that bit. Because provoking violence is widely regarded as a match-winning strategy? He's pouring on the charm and rationalising his violent behaviour so that he can crawl back into some English team and do it again. I wouldn't touch Barton/Balotelli with a 40 foot pole if I were a manager regardless of their ability.

Wonder if he'll write a "what i think of Didi Hamann"

[El Lobo]

He's a very troubled young man is Joseph.

I've never known such an untalented footballer, who causes as much trouble as him, getting so many opportunities at top football clubs.

You'd think, with a popular bloke like Didi, he'd just laugh it off and have a bit of banter. The fact that he got so vicious, nasty and personal shows what everyone already knows about him.

[buzzing]

Yeah, him and barton, along with fowler have the odd bit on banter no there..this just went OTT
