If only, sadly the media seem to love interviewing the little gobshite - I think it's only a matter of time until the **** starts taking residence on the Match Of The Day couch.
The Star or The Sport might give him something but i don't read that **** anyway. Can't see MOTD touching him. He's shown very little respect for the Sport thoughout his career, can't see them wanting him to represent the game. Shame on them if they do.
Been betting on football matches for about 10 years - he admitted it in February the FA have just "sentenced" him today (I read somewhere)
well it should be for just being Joey Barton but it will be for his literally thousands of breaches of the disciplinary code re betting.
I know he's a ****. Of that there is no doubt but he comes across as a very intelligent one. You don't have to be thick as **** to be a tosser.
Having read his statement none of it was his fault. He reckons. It reads like one big bullshitty excuse.
Poor little Joey with his gambling addiction, submitted a medical report to the FA un all. Haven't read read his autobiography but apparently it's the same type of bullshit - endless justifications about how nothing's his fault interspersed with ****er attempts to be the next Aristotle.
He's appealed so its likely our spineless FA gobshites will reduce it to 6 months so he can get back just after the season restarts.
His biggest bet apparently was £500 on Chelsea to win at SJP while he played for Newcastle. A game which ended 1-1 - he wasn't in the squad.
yeah mate - think there's only one or two left on here that have any hope of us staying up!! (and mr eternal optimist - me - is not one of them!!)
He bet on himself to score first when he played for Man City. Richard Dunne scored. You're not getting off lightly betting on yourself surely.
