We could see how we could do with Taarabt returning to the leading role...... and performing without the spectre of Barton....... but 'Christ on a bike.' .... Taarabt will miss the same games due to the AC of N... ANCA or something, you know what I mean. Typical.
Its weird but I have no feeling or emotion towards JB. Hes so overated,a complete and utter twat and Im getting a sneaky feeling this ban(should it stay) may be a good thing for the squad.
Good job it's not the West African Cup Of Nations..... Can you seriously imagine a month without both Barton or Taarabt, and see anything but a return to the Championship? Seeing as Taarabt is off for a month, we NEED Joey's ban overturned. For the team, forget what you might think of him as a person.
Like Barton or not he's played very well in the previous three games and he will be missed if it's not rescinded. The fact is if the guy won us games single-handedly every week some people would still hate him.
Yep,I think Tarbs will be a bigger loss.The problem with Barton is that you cant ignore what he does off the pitch because it seems to be effecting the team on the pitch!. Anyway,not sure things could get much worse at the moment and the amount of times he has given the ball away in recent games is shocking.Something is definately missing in terms of team ethic and spirit.
Losing Traore to the ACN favourites will be the biggest blow, not the best defender but crosses a mean ball
No worries about Tarbs! He'll fall out with the manager on the first day, storm out vowing never to play for his country again, and will be last seen waiting for a bus back to Shepherds Bush!
Hope so!! We will miss him and Traore in our attacking play and, without those two, Barton will be missed too. Everything depends on who NW gets in over the next week or so!!
