A clip is a clip and it should have been a pen - Barton was a **** for getting involved and then acted like a pussy diving to the floor. Toon lucky to get away with that.
Barton - What a massive prick. Get all angry because he thought Gervinho dived, then when he gets touched on the face, dives so he can get someone sent off.
Just like the pussy Gervinho diving? If Barton's a **** then Gervinho is an even bigger ****! Song's a cheat too so you were lucky not to be down to 9 men.
So you lot must have hated Pires when he was at your club given your dislike of divers? As I said earlier, we've all got them and it happens at every club - we're not so blinkered as to think that our team never makes a meal of things and it's always the other teams are we? Barton did it, Walcott does it, Fabregas does it, Drogba does it. The world doesn't owe Arsenal anything, despite what Wenger thinks.
Yeah Barton the hard man that goes down like a little bitch for getting tapped on the face. Oh i am so scared. **** off.
Its the utter hypocrisy in that moment which is stunning. The man starts a problem in the game when the ref could have dealt with Gervinho after the ball goes out. Then after starting the whole thing, does what he is angry at Gervinho for so he can get him sent off. In what world is this right?
Barton got stomped on the back of his shin earlier and did nothing. Gervinho dived in the penalty area Barton grabbed him by the back of his neck to get him up,because Ger DIVED
Gervinho probably dived, but not badly. Barton forcibly pulled the guy up by his shirt from the ground, clearly a violent act, and then went down to the ground when a hand went somewhere near his face. No problem with Gervinho being sent off for the hand, but Barton only receiving a yellow for not only instigating the act but being by far the player who committed the most violence is an absolute joke. You send one off, you have to send the other one off ... Barton should be given a retrospective suspension after the video footage has been looked at (not that I think he's going to play for Newcastle ever again anyway).
Then went down like a girl to get Gervinho sent off, in the process making him look like an utter joke live on TV.
Well it's irony all the penalties Fabregas cheated for his Arsenal career what goes around comes around mwahhh
tbf i agree that we can't call Gervinho a cheat because Barton did the same thing but players are told to go down if they get hit in the face, it happens all of the time. But because its Barton there is hell to pay. Listened to five live on the way home and not one mention of Song.
Barton made a mockery of the referee by trying to do his job for him! All of the commentators said that Gervinho would've got a yellow card anyway for the dive, there was no need for Barton to get involved. The referee would've come back to give Gervinho his second booking when the ball went out of play. But Joey couldn't wait that long and decided to get into scumbag mode. You Newcastle fans are saying 'he just picked him up' - he used two hands on his neck! Gervinho couldn't get away from him, it was clearly a violent act. If someone did that to you in the street, you'd stick up for yourself.
Should of been sent off for diving, was earlier with Ryan Taylor swiping but completely missing him. So should of had 2 yellow cards for diving.
