Given all his previous, I imagine he will get jail time if he is found guilty of this. Well deserved.

Another witch hunt of Barton. He's a man of the people. Says and does what the WOKE are afraid to say and do. Whatever he's done, it's fine by me.

Is he really wearing a Union Jack as a scarf to try and dog whistle his remaining few supporters?

Good, bad, and middling pundits can be found right across the broadcasting spectrum. I find it rarely has much to do with their gender, or playing career.

Though I did notice on Amazon this week (Luton-Aresenal game I think) all three studio guests were bald men. That just seems crazy.

It may be that the inclusion of some female pundits is indeed a quota thing. But I've always seen things differently.

Firstly, if in the age of AI female pundits were given a male body and voice I wonder if the views would be singling them out more than men.

Secondly, punditry to me is not of a high standard in the UK. I've seen too many who cannot complete a statement without the phrases 'giving it a go' 'more intensity' and all those baseline phrases that a Sunday League coach would use. I hate to single out, but I'm really not sure what Alan Shearer brings to the party.

But I don't hate on commentators and pundits. They get paid for an easy gig. Don't blame them. But I rather wish the likes of Peter Jones and Bryan Butler were still with us. Less is best.

As for Joey Barton. To me he is just a shouty man on the internet. I suppose we all are, but with a bit more rationale and the ability to converse and disagree without grudges. Whatever his is.

Yes I do.

And I am of the opinion that Joey Barton is a complete and utter berk of the highest order :thumbsup:
I think that's unfair on us high order berks.

His wife must have lived under a stone if she didn’t expect this type of treatment from him. What on earth could any female find attractive in such a bloke?

Don't overreact. Who hasn't threatened their wife's brother and father and kicked her in the head after a couple of beers?
So he was going to fight her dad and brother. then didn't and beat up his wife instead.

He is a real hard geezer ain't he.

What a prick.

I am slightly disappointed with the reason for this thread being bounced,

Some other time soon.

I hope.
