FSM 20,892 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Future Ranger or not, when I see stuff like this it just reminds me that Barton really is a cringeworthy walloper at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Bob Dylan fan, the fact that he has chosen a song that relates to someone who is down at the bottom of their luck, and is being duly reminded of the choices they made that led to that downward spiral, makes your post all the more pertinent mate, if he comes to us let's hope he keeps his knowledge of music to a minimum and just sticks to playing football.

Barton is far too thick to actually understand what he writes, he just posts anything he thinks will make him look a profound philosopher. I look forward to seeing some 'in the moment' instagram shots of Barton on the team bus reading Dostoevsky and Kafka. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhudda 212 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I was watching the Copa DelRey final last night and straight after it they showed highlights from classic prem game: Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal After being 4-0 down at HT it literally was the Joey Barton show. He wound up Diaby and got him sent off. He scored 2 penalties. He won a freekick and took it in injury time which lead to the 4th goal. He is an outstanding signing... even if he's a right bellend.

Calum72 11 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Fucking buzzing!! can't wait to see him bossing the midfield, that's what we need someone with top experience, someone with that bite that loves a tackle. WATP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I think he'll be a good singing, I personally dont care about a players off pitch persona if he plays well on the pitch. Ive seen plenty saying hes an arsehole etc but I havent seen many criticize his playing ability Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
