The piece is more about how wonderful and understanding the piece of scum journalist is than about Joey Barton.
 
I refuse to read it but his behaviour has been great since he came back from loan.

I don't think even I criticised him about anything in that time!
 
As i keep tellin he was/is the "balls" of our team. We certainly would have done better during our last season in the prem if JB have played for us. I dont know if we woud have stayed up but some primadonnas in our team wouldnt have it so easy......

Am I correct in saying that he has not been red carded this season?

I think he got 2 yellows (red) in the 1 game I got to, home to Leicester. I don't care to much about what he says, and don't really trust that he is the reformed character some make him out to be now, though he probably is a much better bloke than he was. But I voted for him as Player of the Season for exactly that - his performances on the Park only, and his disciplinary record was not too bad considering his postion, type of game, and especially the provocation he was getting especially earlier this season.

He certainly was targeted.
 
He has been excellent all season and seems to quite a degree to be a reformed character. Just the one red card for two yellows v Leicester (and we looked lost without him next game at Notts Forest). Also missed a couple of games due to reaching the 5 yellows mark. For most of the season he was getting booked a little too regularly and was in danger of getting a third ban on the totting up process, but seemed to make a real effort to avoid any more yellows last few games of the season. I suppose the prospect of missing playoff games was at the front of his mind. Don't forget the important free kick goals he scored against Watford and especially away at Reading. A few people were criticizing him on Saturday at Wembley for over hitting some passes, but would rather that than under playing them and getting caught out on the break, which seemed to happen a bit too often in the PL (remember the 3-2 Liverpool game).
 
Well apparently someone said he's leaving and it was on the offish but there's so much stuff on there its impossible to find it.

In still want Zamora gone, remember the previous two years, not just the last few games when he perked up trying to get a new contract.

Listen to the post-match interviews with the players - especially the one with Clint. Full of praise for him, and how he came back from injury and a lack of form / opportunities to recapture what he's good at.

As Clint also said Saturday: There's no mercenaries out there.....
 
I am sure in a Rob Green interview on the pitch he passed a comment about BZ and he said something along the lines of "...........and in his last match"

There's definitely conflicting reports about it.

If he's not a mercenary, offer him a one year deal at 25k a week to be a sub.
 
I read that Ned said in an interview after the match that that was BZ's last game. But maybe that comment was just based on his contractual situation, or maybe BZ has changed his mind. The way he has played recently, and that he apparently wants to stay, makes giving him another year's contract a good proposition. At his best he is quality as he showed in the play-offs. Much of his previous time with us he has not been fit.

Flyer, that is quite an embarrassing statement tbh. The bloke has just earned the right to stay as long as he wants as far as I am concerned. Some things can never be taken away and that moment is one of them.
