It's good. But I'll still be giving my player of the year vote to Hill. I think Barton is an ok guy but he's just a ****ing idiot and has anger management problems.
Fantastic!! Well done Joey and QPR. BTW...........the video stops as Tony answers the door. Is there a full length version anywhere?
What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculty. In form and moving how express and admirable. In action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god. Nice one Tony, good pick to send Barton, he is the most articulate and fancies himself as one of the people. I was under the impression that all clubs and many players get involved in stuff like this, which in no way belittles the gesture.
I think his cynicism is well founded. Barton being chosen above everyone else might just have been a coincidence but did you hear Redknapp's fawning over him for doing it in the video? To be honest, I was actually taken a bit aback as I'd assumed that players regularly did this kind of stuff, given that they're finished at around midday every day. Listening to Redknapp's praise of Joey suggests that it was more of a unique occurrence, you know, a one-off. That's what's depressed me about this video. Stan may have other concerns but that's the thing that jumped out at me.
Let's unite behind the team, headed up by Joey Barton and his sincere gesture that is echoed and supported throughout the club. In my view, any cynicism should be put on hold, if nothing else to respect the dignity of one of our own - Tony Mills - a passionate supporter whose friends and family tweeted Joey Barton to ask if they could 'fix it' for one last visit to W12. Sometimes human kindness finds it's way beyond the most hardened of cynics and reveals itself in ways that others can only aspire to.
This is my understanding of how this heart warming tale came to fruition. ''A general 'Tweet' was sent out on Twitter by a friend of Tony Mills, asking if any QPR fans could help him and his family get to Loftus Road for one final time before he succumbed to terminal brain cancer. This was then re-tweeted by hundreds of QPR fans and the plan was on. Many QPR fans pledged their support to get Tony down to the Rangers. Barton as an active Twitter user picked up on this. He went one step further. He contacted Fernandes and Ian Taylor with a tweet that said something like.. ' Come on Tony, let's make this happen.' The rest as they say is history. Tony would have a dream day at HQ with all the bells and whistles. Barton wasn't chosen, it was he that instigated it. That's the reason that Barton went to Mr Mills's house.
I really hope the QPR faithful make Tony Mills feel special today, the only other place I have ever been where the singing from the crowd made my hair stand up on end is here in Spain at Real Betis. According to some reports on here the atmosphere has been a little flat recently at HQ. I hope today of all days the whole stadium will be rocking like only Loftus Road can. Enjoy the game all those that are going.
