“WHO does Joey Barton think he is?” asks the Mirror’s front-page headline.
Given the haircut and the Scouse accent, we’d say George Harrison. But did Beatle George ever kick someone in the head and stub out a cigar out on a lad’s eyeball?
Before we can guess again, the Mirror says Barton has been seen committing the heinous act of driving in the bus lane. Scum, is a word that springs to mind.
And this is not all. The Mirror also says Barton did dash a red light and cut up other drivers. Scum. And double scum.
Says one outraged onlooker: “I just can’t believe his arrogance.”
Inside and “swaggering” (can you swagger when you drive? Discuss) Joey Barton is the “rogue in the Range Rover”.
The “Voice of The Mirror” says: “D’ohey Barton – Road hog football thug Joey Barton is as dangerous behind the wheel as he is on the street or on a training ground.”
And we return to that aforesaid onlooker who is nursing a bleeding eye and lying in a heap on the street…

ooh, that’s alright then - because he can kick a football around it entitles him to behave like a thug and a complete moron, but never mind - it makes him the overrated overpaid player that he is…. nice……
a bit temperamental…??? that’s like saying that Alan Carr’s on the other bus but you’d never know….

He’s a championship player now. Until they can sell him of course

He’s a remarkable player get’s a bit too much stick if you ask me, lots of people drive in bus lanes an get into fisty cuffs occasionally, we judge because he’s in the public spotlight, i say he’s ok a bit temprimental but personally i think thats what makes him the plkayer he is!

He really needs to be in jail. I have watched a couple of interviews of this fellow and the wires are not connected properly. He will kill one day.

You know he doesn’t look that big, I’m suprised no one has given him a good thrashing
followed by a savage pounding.
It might do him a power of good!
Send him to my house, I’ll have my giant sons take care of him.

That’s why he has PR people, DD.
They’re not doing a very good job, are they?

If he doesn’t know who he is how are we supposed to know?

Never late to come out. Some ppl may not come out at the end of their lives. You’d better choose a good and friendly environment to come out. I know BiLovesdotcom is a good place, where there are many bisexuals and bicurious looking to explore their sexuality.
