Posted by Ric-Roc on Watrb. ===================== From a players mouth who played today. Obviously can't & won't mention that player but in a nutshell said. Joey Barton although he acknowledges he's a good lad says things to team mates & coaching staff that are way below the belt. Came in the dressing room at HT slagging off the defence & when players questioned his contribution he went into one. During the week players were made to watch Villa video back, where Barton kept piping up digging out certain players when mistakes were made & when a clip of him losing possession came on Keith Curle said 'oh look Joey your human as well you made a mistake' to which Barton replied 'listen Curley I've played at the top level for 10 years what did you ever do, limited hoofer' to which team mates were shocked as what KC said was only said in jest. Argument in the dressing room afterwards as Jay Bothroyd said during the game to DJ Campbell 'don't worry DJ we've done f*ck all wrong its the defence their sh!t' Also said that the players get to much time off & although training is ok he said the high intensity sessions they do are the easiest he's ever had to do at any club he's played at. Says nothing will happen to Adel as he does what he wants. Very frank & open convo that showed me that things are not all rosy behind the scenes. Said as well at the final whistle Bobby Zamora said to him 'chin up mate it was the one day we clicked & have a word with your gaffer to sign me in January I'd love to play for QPR' I like Barton but I hope he doesn't become a destabilising influence in the dressing room when the chips are down.
If this is true, I'm not surprised. A guy like barton, who acts like he signed for us at gunpoint and has little respect for others, is bound to snap when things aren't rosy. He comes across as the sort of guy who would refuse to put in a shift because we have **** players like Hall, we'd lose anyway so there is no point. I really dreaded this moment but as NW said.....didn't think it would happen today.
Do you know what... I was watching the players pre-match warm up and I had a sixth-sense that something wasn't right. I Sub-consciously thought that the lads didn't have their usual team spirit & togetherness. As Barton led the team out, his head was down, and I remember thinking that he didn't really look up for it. It's only after reading Northolt's post that I can now see why.
Makes sense. You don't lose 6-0 by having 'just another bad day at the office'. You lose 6-0 when the team doesn't play for each other, for the manager and for the fans. Someone is rocking the boat. Warnock has to sort this out quick smart because with guys like Barton and Taarbs in the side, our season could unravel before our very eyes. And the next transfer window is a million miles away.
Whatever happened we have to let Warnock sort it out, we cannot play like champions every game and wipe the floor with the opposition, let's face it had we taken our chances against the toon and villa, we would have comprehensively beaten both. We will bounce back, every one argues now and again and the heat this week has tested everyone's patience. We will beat Blackburn in two weeks and all the villains will be heroes again!
If that is all true then I am starting to wish that we hadn't signed Barton (fair play Roller!!). Those comments of his are completely out of order and, I have news for Joey.....he ain't anywhere near as good as he likes to think he is!!
Unfortunately this sounds like it could be true. Barton's performance was awful and he didnt seem interested. He needs to sort out his head ASAP!
Sounds like any normal dressing room after a six nil. I've seen best mates punching each other after a similar stuffing - and thats just sunday league. No reason to start panicking. I expect us to beat Blackburn and get a creditable result against Chelsea/city - then wait for the threads about Europe to get posted again!
Joey's leadership qualities have been non-existant during the past two games. The toon fans effused about his "fighting spirit" before he came to us, saying he was a large factor in many of their comebacks from 1-0 down. Well i haven't seen that so far, he needs to pull his finger out.
North where the fu*k did you dig up that sh*t from? You've got some takers by the looks of it. Well done.
Swords, how do you know its sh*t? Or you assuming? I hope it isnt true. Performance yesterday was one of the worst ive ever seen as a QPR fan and there must be some reason for it, as I just cant see why we defended like a sunday league team, while making Fulham look like Barcelona.
To be fair my Fulham mate has heard a few rumours of Zamora coming to Rangers. And that was before yesterdays game.
I see 'Fantasy Island' has drawn in a few more mugs with its usual utter utter rubbish. Do people never learn with reading stuff on that site? You should go out and buy a copy of the 'National Enquirer' as it probably has more truth to it. Let’s take it on the chin. We got done by the better team and the only people that turned up were the fans. Last week we were World beaters and now we are relegation certs? This season is about learning and tbh we haven't done to bad. How many teams will win at Everton and Wolves? We have also taken points off Newcastle and Villa so dropping 3 away from home is not as bad as it sounds. I said before the game that Fulham have done well and are no mugs. Their team is full of seasoned Prem players and sadly ours isn't. Before the game i said i would take a draw because of their front line and the pace. I know it hurts some QPR because it’s Fulham but really they are not our rivals. They are just another London club with a’ Kiddie fiddler’ statue Agree we have made mistakes in all departments but these things happen. Let’s move on and stop worrying/believe what some ITK makes up on another site.
Well Well, how many of you are surprise of this shambles but hey i will continue to say this as long as warnock is still here. Its the real business now and there is no hiding place the man is clueless and just a championship mentality, did the same with Sheffield u his honeymoon is truely over and for those who cant accept it lets wait and see how long before Fernandes and Amit takes before seeing through him. He's got no control over Adel the spoilt brat all he does is keep turning a blind eyes on the wrong he does, but hey this is the same man that is telling us that teves should be ship out of this country ok neil hope you taking care of business , hurry up neil and do this club a faviour .
