Id like to respect Barton for his stance on homophobia but then I remember his antics towards Torres when we played Newcastle, repeated cock smoker gestures, pointing and grabbing his crotch etc. Went on for two minutes.

I know many of you don't like Samuel for his stance on Suarez. But some of the anger at a misguided joke seems pretty ugly to me

Course it does Tony. Course it does!

Looks like he may have started the legal proceedings. At the bottom of the article it say comments can not be left due to legal reasons. Good. Don't care to much for Barton, but Samuel is a horrible little cretin.

I didn't say that being gay was wrong but regarding Barton it's a false statement and therefore I was wondering if it was covered as libel or slander legally.

I know you personally didn't say it was wrong, what I'm saying is I *think* in law that suggesting someone else is gay is no longer covered as libel/slander as that in itself would suggest being gay was wrong. Not positive but that's what I remember reading. Didn't mean it was your personal view.

He's a good lad who has had his troubles. Who hasn't? He's been absolute top drawer in regards to both gay rights and to Hillsborough. Absolute top drawer.

Joey Barton is a good lad, and absolute top drawer? Fantastic!

I dont like Rio, but im sure he could come back with something to shut Barton up, like Barton being shite and not really ever getting anywhere near the England team, or ever winning fuck all, or just being shite and known for twitter/beating up kids/having a stupid hair cut/brother being a racist murderer etc

Would be slightly funnier if Ferdinand didn't have 81 caps and was once his country's first choice defender (rightly or wrongly). Anyway, that joke was doing the rounds when Andy Cole made a big deal of his international retirement after 15 caps in 7 years, and that seemed much more fitting!

Fair play to him for voting Hendo and then answering the stick with some very valid points. Think that Hendo's improvement has been pivotal for us this season.

Wayne Rooney is not world class - Joey Barton

Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney lacks the mentality to become a "world-class" player, says Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton.
Rooney, 28, recently signed a new contract that puts him among the highest-paid players in football.

But Barton told BBC Radio 5 live that Rooney's mental approach leaves him behind the world's best on the pitch.

"Rooney is world class - potentially - but his mentality is the polar opposite to Cristiano Ronaldo's," Barton said.

The 31-year-old added: "Why is Ronaldo a Ballon d'Or winner and Rooney isn't? Players who have worked with both say the level of discipline Ronaldo has is the reason he is where he is."

Ronaldo, 29, scored his 14th Champions League goal of the season to equal a record set by Barcelona's Lionel Messi as Real Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-0 in their Champions League quarter-final first leg at home on Wednesday.

Rooney scored his 17th of the campaign in all competitions with a brace as United beat Aston Villa 4-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday.

"When you see Rooney smoking cigarettes," Barton continued, "is he doing everything he can to be the best player in the world? The gulf is getting wider."

The former Newcastle, Manchester City and Marseille player later tweeted: "I would have to argue that he has not been better since he broke on the scene at Everton. For me that is when he stopped developing."

Its tongue and cheek. Really not worth kicking a fuss up over, what he was driving at is the kind of bad joke a man who is white, conservative and an idiot would come out with. That profile fits Samuel quite well.

I agree in the sense of you will hear stuff like that off people like him all the time, doesn't mean it's on though. Samuel is clearly very ignorant about homosexuality, and that article reeks of it, it's subtly promoting an ignorance of an important subject.

Bangin Them In · « **Reply #303 on:** April 3, 2014, 01:16:47 pm »

Of course there are Manu folks bleating about pots and kettles with Barton, but this was in effect him as a pundit and nothing to do with his own game and as such, this is spot on about Rooney.

At this particular time in footballers development, the very best are athletes and all the sacrifice that entails, this is where Rooney is second tier - he does have the talent, always has had

Is the fella delusional or what? With all his baggage where does this crap start - and that's to say nothing about the primary requirement, being a top class footballer.

For me when at his best, he was only ever marginally useful.

What is it with today's gobby bastards ? Big and extremely nonsense gobs is what they have in abundance.

I couldn't care less what he says or does. He is a Liverpool fan and a decent human (Support for JFT96) being.

He does have a tendency to be outspoken and comes across as a bit of a twat sometimes, but then he is not the only one. RAWK is full of twats, including me.

So yeah, I dont mind him.

He's Robbie Savage. Even has the shit hair to go along with the gobshite opinions now.

Might be a bit harsh to Savage that actually, seeing as he at least appears to know he's a fairly ridiculous man. Barton is all together more wrapped up in his own self importance.

Did well in the justice campaign, but it doesn't make him any less of an insufferable loudmouth.

Seeing as he likes philosophy so much here's one for Joey.

If a Joey Barton falls in the woods does it make a sound?

Yes. Because he spends the next few days telling everyone how the fall was deliberate to 'try and get the wood booked'.

I actually thought he was a quality footballer, just a complete bellend.. He made the wrong decisions most of the way, but his heart has always been in the right place especially where our history is concerned - for that I can't ever condem the lad.

At one point he was certainly good enough to play for England, but he would never of captained the side. The fact that he's fucked in the head and a nasty bastard means we'll never know.

Yes, he's shown a lot of support of Hillsborough. Yes, he seems to like our club, despite being a blue. None of that excuses some of the vile shit he's done, and we're not talking the odd nasty tackle.

The bloke is an arse.
