Let's all laugh at Joey Barton

Joey Barton was sent off today for an alleged head butt against Norwich and it appears it may have been a rather harsh decision.  Obviously it didn't take long for the learned Barton to vent his spleen on Twitter:

"Hopefully referee sees it retrospectively and sees he's been conned. Its no consolation for us right now but at least its something......"

Effectively Barton is accusing someone else of cheating in public and this isn't the first time he's done this.  I shall take you back to our away game at Newcastle earlier this season when Barton cheated to get Gervinho sent off for the mildest of offences, here are Barton's words afterwards:

 "I did go down easily, I’ve been hit harder by people at school, but that’s not to make what he did right. He raised his hands; we all know the rules about that. I have made a meal of it.”

Which way do you want it Joey?  You can't have it both ways.  On one hand he feels he is entitled to feign injury to get opposition players unfairly sent off, but on the other hand he cannot take it when someone does exactly the same to him. 


For a player who sees himself as such an intellectual powerhouse, it is rather amusing that Joey cannot understand the most basic of logical rules.  The footballing neutral will not be shedding many a tear this weekend for Mr Joey Barton, he has done nothing over the years to deserve any of our sympathy.  Let's all have a chuckle, happy new year!

The utter Irony

You guys mock Barton for a harsh sending off.

Then later in the day Djourou is sent off harshly and you go on to lose!!!

Thats the difference between Spurs and Arsenal......we got out played at Fulham too but managed to win 3-1.......you guys lose 2-1.....no spine, no depth, limited quality.

Dont worry we will show you how its done at West Brom tomorrow x 5 points and a game in hand...laterz x

lets all laugh at Wenger, Dhjou and most of all Theo Walcot clearly the worst sack of shite to EVER play for Arsenal.
Good org - lose a full back reorganise then shit we still have no full back - good organisation Wenger your pratt.

Play footballers like Coqulin at left back and its no problem -play a prick like Dhjou and you get what you deserve - utterly clueless.

although it pains me I can't argue with the spuds fans....we continually play at right back a player that is actually shit at his proper position centre half...we have no cover for left back,we have Gervinho who makes the wrong choice EVERY time and a player in Walcrap that I just despair in...Fulham were utter garbage today and there for the taking...but we lost...sounds familiar....

Why is Wenger still in employment at a club like Arsenal ? "but he has done wonders on a limited budget" - his fucking choice not to spend money - how many years of abject failure ? six ? seven ? Every step forward we make that French has been knocks us back one - Gervinho is a SHIT signing as is Mertesacker and Arteta. You will NEVER win anything with these players. Arsenal are finished - no more champions league again so enjoy it.

why do you find it acceptable to have banter with Spuds fans?I just don't get it...they are 3rd with a good chance of actually winning something n we are 5th with not a prayer of winning nowt(will gladly take that back in May but not going to happen)...shouldn't we be taking more interest in AFC than the shite up the road....?

I wish Wenger would go - his time came and went six years ago. Walcott is utterly useless and Gervinho is a poor buy. When we have to rely on Djourou and Squillaci we are in trouble. When Van Persie doesn't score we invariably lose or draw. A one man team - correction a one man team whose one man is made of glass.

there are certain players who should never ever put on an arsenal shirt - fabianski and squillaci to name but two - as for spurs just depends on how they react to the sad loss of "arry - despite all the media stuff about how wondeful he is - he going away for a minimum of two years -

even when we had the glory years we punched above our weight financially and we are still doing it, wenger is an absolute magician considering the success vs money spent. we didnt go out and buy van persie ready made did we? wenger is stubborn with players or loyal which ever way you look at it and he has been loyal to us in return, as im sure massive clubs were sniffing round in last decade. IMO we need to make 2 astute signings now, a really creative midF like goetze or shaqiri and a striker and we will be sorted. a hell of a long way to go in this season yet people!! also who the hell is good enough to replace wenger?

Listen Arsenal fan who mentions the 200 year quote..... who gives a shit what Arsenal won in the 90's it was 20 years ago.......move on....stop bringing up the past.....you aint won nothing for 7 YEARS......you dont hear the Notts Forest fans bringing up there European history everytime they lose to a Burnley or Coventry.

Nowadays Tottenham are better we have beat you 3 times and drawn once of our last 4 meetings in the league and we are 3 points above you now with 2 games in hand....last year we did better in the champions league...everything has been building up to this point.

You lost mate, accept it and stop bringing up crap about the past...Overmars and Ian Wright left along time ago

to the irate spurs fan
i will repeat, you aint won anything yet, we aint won anything yet, simples!! we have sustained presence in the CL, PL titles and FA cups, spurs in it for 1 year then nothing and out the uefa also!! a carling cup nearly 5 years ago, hardly pulling up trees is it!! keep finishing above us for a sustained period then wind it into us, not now after a 1-1 draw with swansea in your last game!! Spurs are playing lovely football dont get me wrong but an injury to Bale i would argue would have similar effects but not quite as important to one with RvP! 9 point differences get overhauled all the time, we have done it to actually *WIN* the PL and been on the end of it!! Oh yeah plus your manager is going inside soon, Ramos is interested i hear!!
