Joey Barton going to Rangers?

[yxee]

Anything to keep him away from punditry. How he ever made it onto the BBC is beyond me...

As long as Bullard continues to find employment on tv there's hope for everyone.

Think Burnley will come in for Stephens or Kayal.

great news

a very good footballer

wish him and Rangers all the best!

I'd wouldn't have minded him down here next season - I do think we need to toughen up a bit sometimes.

I would say outplaying someone, getting stamped on and continuing to outplay him is tougher than deliberately landing your weight on an opponent in an attempt to injure him with no regard to his future. I would say that the latter is not toughness, but underhand, snidey and cowardly, particularly when followed by denial and lies about intent on social media. Everyone who has played football knows that you are lying Joey. You did it deliberately. Are you going to wait to admit it in your autobiography like that other 'tough guy' Roy Keane?

I suspected that Dyche wouldn't want him in the Premier League, unfortunately he has seen direct evidence of a central midfielder who is younger, stronger and more technically gifted than Barton. I just hope when Dyche comes waving a cheque book (something that 'little Burnley' never do of course), that Kayal remembers the manager's utter disregard for his safety after the game and sends him packing.

Pleased to get him out of the country. What a shame the likes of Jimmy Case and Graeme Souness aren't playing any more.. they'd have destroyed a runt like Barton, both physically and in terms of footballing ability.

What odds I wonder would you get for him to be red carded during his first old firm match?

Paddy Power were offering 4/1 yesterday

Well Bullard might be close to insane but he's not at all a nasty piece of work, or a soccer thug. Can't remember him costing us promo either.

I wonder what he's doing in this picture.

I think he is practising his "Suarez bite"

And the transfer rumour accounts on Twatter now saying Burnley are planning a move for Kayal.

If it happens then Barton will have dicked us twice, the smug little turd.

I'm not sure they'll tempt him away.

Could well just be unimaginative fan guesswork anyway.

Is anyone really surprised?

Joey Barton?

 

[Hugo Rune]

I still don't understand how he got in last season's Championship 11. His major skill seemed to be identifying the opposition's best performing player and committing borderline assault on him whilst looking up and seeing long balls to Gray whistle past above his smug ****ing face.

 

[BBassic]

Joey Barton is the living embodiment of "once a complete and relentless twatting tosspot always a complete and relentless twatting tosspot".

That's a saying, right?

 

[neilbard]

What a ****!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Probably a stunt to promote the philosopher Joseph Barton's autobiography which just happens to be out, oh what a strange coincidence, next week...

Pretty much required reading (for free) tho, to be fair, if only to savour the self-delusion of the tvvat.
