- sent off for elbowing Carlos Tevez in the face in 2012. As he leaves the pitch, he kicked Sergio Aguero to the back of the knee and attempted to headbutt Vincent Kompany. He had to be dragged from the pitch by former teammate Micah Richards and tries to square up to Mario Balotelli. He was banned for 12 matches.
- calls Thiago Silva an overweight ladyboy on Twitter in 2013 and is banned by French F.A for two matches

Apparently his books ok though.

 

5/11 that Barton appeals against the ban (those are the odds he offered me) .

 

Has there ever been a bigger dickhead in football than Joey Barton?

 

Nope.

 

Tbf a couple of things on that list are pretty funny...

'calls Thiago Silva an overweight ladyboy on Twitter in 2013'

'suspended by Newcastle for calling Alan Shearer "a **** manager" and assistant Iain Dowie "a prick" in 2009'

 

'put out a lit cigarette in a youth player's eye at City in 2004'

 

Kicked off with Zlatan too..calling him a big nosed **** lol

Also adopted a French accent for his interview whilst playing in France lol

Also kicked off with Frank lampard on England duty when he went and sat on the table Lampard was on, Lampard left the table to which he replied 'don't worry I wasn't going to take your lunch' lol

Funny ****

 

Will definitely be buying his book

 

The man is a tosser but also funny on occasion.

 

Can't think of one offhand...

 

Have we all forgotten Vinnie Jones?

 

From memory, Vinnie confined the majority of his twattery to the pitch, didn't he?

 

Yeah..and i think hes one footballer who can act...fantastic

 

He acts so well that his character was a deaf mute in one film. He has a great range though. He can play anything from angry hard man to er, ...hard angry man.

 

Is turning up being yourself acting?

 

true..but he does it well...was fantastic in the Guy Ritchie movies

 

Ok lads...i didnt say hes some facking De Niro....but i liked him in a few films

ffs!

 

I liked the bit when he lost the plot and smashed some ****s head in a car door.

 

Watched 'Taxi Driver' last night as it goes. Blast from the past. Epic film.

 

yeah coz his lad was in the car init!

great movie to watch when blitzed....madness
