Don't think iv'e ever come across a bloke so convinced that he has never done anything wrong and it's always somebody else's fault .
Leon Knight?
Niklas Bendtner?
What a ****ing idiot.Barton released a statement on Thursday in which he acknowledged he "did overstep the mark".
"Some of the things I said were inappropriate and for that I apologise unreservedly," he wrote.
Moments after posting the statement, he published a tweet he later deleted reading: "Apologising doesn't always mean that you're wrong and the other person is right. It means you value your relationship more than your ego."
Having heard Barton on various platforms he comes across as a very odd guy. On one level he seems to be capable of real honesty; he can be perceptive; and he is articulate. However he can be a total knob and a nasty piece of work.
He has so much 'previous' that I don't think he's going to change; he's a serial offender, but always capable of conducting his own defence. Fundamentally, the game would be better off without him - and maybe people should just stop sticking a microphone in front of him.
