Free Barton With Every Happy Meal
Joey Barton has walked free from prison. He served a total 74 days behind bars of the total 6 months he was given for his street spat whilst taking in a Mickey D’s.
I would imagine that he’ll be reporting to St. James Park in the next 48 hours for an assessment of fitness considering how weak our squad is looking currently. He is likely now to head off to sunnier climates for training in Spain? Not bad eh?
Keegan has continued to state he will stand by Barton as this is his last chance and has a lot of bridges to mend.

with such a small squad, i am quite glad he is back, and he is going to be given another chance, i really hope he takes it with both hands and makes good! he is a good player, but he has problems, and i’m sure if KK looks after him, he’ll come right again.

We honestly cant knock anyone atm as the squad is too small to be picky. I think alot of fans are now realising how far we have fallen.

It’s all a bit lousy this Barton stuff. It’s bad enough at all but the timing is awful with the position we are in. As if the media don’t already have barrels pointing at us constantly these days this just fills them with ammo. My feelings are he should have been sacked at Man City for his offences there and perhaps none of this would have happened. Would you be sacked if you had a fight in work? I would think so.

I think we have to put it behind us and not bring it up again. Barton should focus on becoming a better human being after his time of reflection and I also think the club should make sure he makes no comments at all to the media in future. Whether that be football related or whatever he should just keep his mouth shut. He should not be a person making any comments about the direction of the club, his team mates, performances etc. He should just get on with the job and stay out of the lime light.

“He should just get on with the job and stay out of the lime light.” Agreed aye.
