There will never be another Joey Barton. The average Joey Barton is in jail long before a professional football career can start.
Bastards apparently threatened that if he didn't play **** for years and leave on a free they would kneecap him ... last few performances have people speculating that they might have done it in advance ...
Too late to blackmail him now. The whole world already knows he's ****, releasing that news to the public won't hurt him.
Used to be tradition in Ottoman empire and even became legally codified. When you inherit the throne all your brothers are expected to be killed.
Before the cementing of a standard line of inheritance a King dying would be a ****ing nightmare. The Carolingian Empire was split up amongst Charlemagne's children into a ****ing mess, they all spent most of their time plotting to remove one another. Was it Peter the Great of Russia who had his son killed for inheritance reasons? Can't tell you how many kids Ive forced into monkhood or death playing Crusader Kings III
I love Crusader Kings. Only have CK2, not CK3 yet. I don't have the DLC for CK2 that lets you force your sons to become monks. I usually just quietly assassinate the ones I don't want. Or if none of my sons have good traits, I'll breed their wives so they can have my good attributes that my older sons lack.
Alfred the Great just died in my playthrough. His oldest aka, me, is an intelligent strategic genius... Who's a sadist everyone despises with a clear passion. My brother is nothing special, but a just pious man who everyone loves. Civil war is right around the corner I'm afraid
The **** is Didi on about there man. So in his tiny brain, if a player does something like that the ref should blow up, stop all play, award a free kick AND dish out a card. Good God, back in ye hole Didi
Some player in France backhanded a balloted an opponents head and was carded by the ref for it...booking entertainment ffs
One of my fav moments in the prem ever. When Joey Barton had his meltdown and kicked Aguero. What a ****ing moment, place erupted. Can see why the Colosseum was so popular
