Newcastle's Joey Barton insists he does not fear going to prison if he is found guilty of assaulting former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo. The 25-year-old has pleaded not guilty to a charge of actual bodily harm and now faces a trial, which is expected to start in June 2008. "If you go to prison for defending yourself then, yes, I suppose I'll think about it," he told the BBC. "But I don't care. It doesn't scare me at all. I've done nothing wrong." Inside Sport: Joey Barton The alleged assault took place at City's training ground on 1 May. If found guilty, the England midfielder could face a sentence of up to five years in jail but he said: "I can go home and sleep at night and know I've done what I thought was right. Nobody cares whether I'm innocent or guilty - nobody cares Joey Barton "I don't think I'm a bad person. If the incidents I've been involved in had been to anyone other than a Premier League footballer, I don't think they'd even be mentioned. "It was something that I've seen five, six, seven times since I've been a professional footballer." Barton says his reputation has left him short of support among fans. "Nobody cares whether I'm innocent or guilty - nobody cares. I'm already guilty before I've been sat in front of a judge - that's the disappointing thing," he said. 606: DEBATE What do you think of Barton's comments? "It's my reputation. It's my fault I've got that reputation, but you shouldn't be slaughtered for trying to make yourself a better person. One day I will get to speak about the full facts." Barton was suspended by City and subsequently sold to Newcastle United in a £5.8m deal in June. He returned to action for the Magpies in November following a metatarsal injury that had kept him out since the summer. Arrogant wee prick i hope he gets the sh*t kicked out of him everyday if he goes down

nice one Jamie ive still not completed San Andreas

im sure ive also seen 'Robbie Fowler will sign for Rangers in the next 24 hours' on there so i wouldn't take it seriously

if you get Rivals Mode on it then do it through that mate

Sam Allardyce had a big reputation when he went to Newcastle and he's gone downhill a wee bit like a certain Mr. Le Guen he's been exploited as being a poor manager as Newcastle fans expect them to be consistent performers week in week out

heres mines Jean-Alain Boumsong Graham Souness Neil Lennon Artur Boruc Nando Ricksen Joey Barton Steven McManus David James John Collins Craig Bellamy

yeah i loved Street Fighter for the megadrive im away to see if they're on ebay *goes on ebay*

i always thought Nuno Capucho was more technally gifted

Kerlon's immense im away to put in a £3.5m bid for him

i heard Ally McCoist's name being mentioned but id prefer it if Craig Levein took over

my favourite series of Games are pro-evo and the Grand Theft Auto ones

i agree but for me helicopter sunday was the best moment of the decade for us so far

i only watch it for the Rangers highlights then play the comp for a wee while

i think he might put in a bid for Hemdani as he was hell-bent on signing him for a couple of years

aye im sure he missed the players who fucked him about to get him sacked in his last season at Rangers

i was dissapointed with Vice City Stories up untill the last 3 missions when you kill Armando Mendez when he's got the flame-thrower then you steal a helicopter from the army and kill Martinez and Diego Mendez

well we need to win if we're going to qualify and if Barcelona beat Lyon then we're through

thats what i do FE ive sold a large chunk of my squad so im needing to get players in asap but ive promoted a couple of youth players into my first team i think Bendtner might be a half decent signing along with Diaby and maybe if you can play your cards right Theo Walcott

the second one was sarcastic though im funnier in real life than on here tbh or even on my bebo page my addy's below my sig but its set to private so i dont get commented by ex's

has anyone got any videos of Advocaats 21-point season cos ive only seen the old-firm games from then it would be nice to bring back some childhood memories

Rangers

yeah the first goal was immense

i know i think there some bias with that award and the funniest one as they obviously didnt see that comment i left on that tim munter's bebo page i dont know if anyone remembers but she commented saying 'give me love,we pumped milan' so i commented 'heres my love seeing as your boabys bigger than mines' if thats not worthy of the funniest poster on rm award then i dont know what is

i know ive got an RM Award already albeit a shite one

just put me on the shite ones why dont you Danny
