Apart from our tatooed loanee defender's wife, all the tales are media bubble stuff - he seems to get on fine with his fellow players....and he was a cracking defender....even though I have no time for Chelsea I find it hard to hate him....
Not how it has played out, to be fair......lots of hate in the posts as one might have anticipated....particularly unimpressed that someone highlighted Barton on account of his mad racist brother. Barton is damaged and doing his best to fight his demons. Plenty of posters on NSC in not too...
