Whereas Joey Barton is, let me check my notes....ah yes, here it is, pandering to tosspots on Twitter and showing himself up to be exactly who we all thought he was.

Twitter used to be alright. It was simple enough to manage and curate your feed so you only saw stuff you were interested in. There were always dickheads on there but I rarely encountered them. Then Musk got involved and it went to absolute shit. Dickheads pushed to the top of your feed...

Not the word I'd use. But then I don't think there's a word for "narcissistic violent racist sexist bully who picks on women and children".

The entire industry of reality television is built on this. Taking clips and editing them to fit a narrative. I do some editing myself for a hobby and it's shockingly easy to do.

All this sensible, nuanced, thoughtful and largely respectful discussion about society, tokenism, sexism and racism is all well and good but can we get back to lambasting Joey Barton for being a tosser please? I'll start: Joey Barton is rubbish.

I think he's possibly having a genuine mental health crisis. Or he's just an idiot. Or he's a bully. Or he's an insecure man child. Or he's realised that he's not only going up against other men for TV time, he's now also going up against women for TV time (and coming off second, third, fourth...

Did he stamp on anyone like he did last time he was here?

Well I think you're incorrect generally and specifically. People are hired because they deserve to be hired.

Talent meaning ex-pro, experience meaning top flight and suitability meaning possession of a dick?

Yeah all good points. I think I'm just sick of tedious ex-pros. Punditry for me should be done by anyone with anything interesting and knowledgeable to say. Which thankfully would rule out that pillock who was on commentary when we played Forest.

Agree on the role of the pundit but not that their experience is the only place to garner insight. I'd rather have someone like Jonathan Wilson, who's entire career has been devoted to analysing and dissecting football, acting as a pundit than someone like Michael Owen. I can guarantee Wilson...

What's that Joey? I can't hear you over all the hypocrisy...

His issue isn't with their experience or with their relative knowledge or anything like that. His issue is that they're women. That's it.

Just when you think Joey Barton has faded back into the irrelevance he so clearly belongs to, here he is reminding everyone of what an utter twat he is.
