Tony's favourite son....

Now I'll openly admit I'm at times a bit myopic and overlook some of his weaknesses.

I can only conclude that uncle Tony forgot to include a little * on the end of his latest tweet noting 'statement excludes groin punch vs Hull'.....

@tonyfernandes: @Joey7Barton has been a model and inspirational captain. Leading from the front.

 

We all have feet of clay Sku. He has been an inspirational captain - when he has been on the pitch!

He was leading from the front as well when he jabbed Huddlestone in the nuts...

 

Looks like Joey is carrying top weight in the national

 

I fully expect Barton to pick up a yellow card and two game suspension tomorrow.

 

Might as well make it a red and take someone, preferably Hazard, with him. I reckon we'll play Barton, Henry and Sandro, plenty of yellows in waiting.

 

Imagine having Tony's meat and two veg. rubbing the nape of your neck.

 

Sounds harsh but I think we'll definitely lose if we play Sandro. I just have that feeling. His heart is not in it like with some of our other players. Barton and Henry, with more attacking players crowding the midfield, either in the form of wing backs or attacking midfielders.

Also, I'd be very nervous if Caulker plays, unless he really pulls his socks up and concentrates.

 

Tony has switched Joey Barton onto manual control and is operating his every move through his adams apple.
