There's no denying footballers are effete dicks. Barton being a prime example. That girl only starts on people when they don't see it comin. Balotelli would make her cry for her mummy with a look.
Don't see it coming? Tevez threw the first punch- If Barton had done the professional thing like Tevez and gone down rolling in agony it would have been Tevez walking and possibly a very different match and title winner. You're lucky it was Barton as the linesman some 40-50 yards away couldn't have possibly had a decent view, has seen it was Barton and put 2 and 2 together.
