RedGirl76 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 His off-pitch behaviour is nothing to be proud of either - I lost any shred of respect for him over the whole transfer business. And Cheryl can't be short of offers, I don't know why she stayed with him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc_squared Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Outrage as Joey Barton leaves prison and walks back into his £40,000-a-week day job By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 12:54 PM on 28th July 2008 Comments (1) Add to My Stories Released: Premiership footballer Joey Barton, leaves Strangeways Prison in Manchester Premiership footballer Joey Barton was released from jail today and back to his highly paid job at Newcastle United. Barton, 25, left Strangeways prison in Manchester at 11am after serving 74 days of a six-month sentence for beating up a teenager in Liverpool city centre last December. He was jailed on May 20 after pleading guilty at Liverpool Crown Court to assault and affray. Today, the £40,000-a-week Newcastle United midfielder enjoyed his first taste of freedom after weeks in the cells. Barton, wearing jeans and a jumper and carrying a holdall, shook hands with a friend waiting for him outside the prison gates. He made no comment to reporters. With the help of two minders, he got into a waiting silver Land Rover and was driven off. Barton had hoped to be freed earlier this month with an electronic tag forcing him to keep a curfew. But he was deemed not to fit the right criteria for early release as he had committed his last offence while on bail. The player, from Huyton, Merseyside, served 68 days of the six-month jail term plus six days on remand after his initial arrest. However, he is currently serving a four-month jail sentence, suspended for two years, after a separate conviction for a 'ferocious' training ground attack on former Manchester City colleague Ousmane Dabo. The attack left his victim unconscious and bleeding. Uncertain future: Joey Barton has been released from prison Barton was also ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid community work and pay £3,000 compensation to Dabo and court costs of £3,430. While on bail over the Dabo incident, he got involved in the fight outside a McDonald's restaurant in Liverpool city centre last December. The court heard the player had been on a night out with friends and family in Liverpool. After drinking 10 pints and five bottles of lager, they went into the McDonald's for food at about 5am on December 27. But they became involved in a row with some youths and, outside the restaurant, the confrontation turned violent with Barton caught on CCTV knocking his victim to the ground. Horrific: Manchester City player Ousmane Dabo was brutally beaten by then teammate Barton He then straddled the man and punched him up to 20 times.Moments later, Barton attacked 16-year-old Jordan Spencer, in the mistaken belief the youth had assaulted his cousin. Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan has publicly vowed to stand by Barton at the club. and the Professional Footballers' Association is hoping Barton will be able to put off-field problems behind him. PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor believes Keegan could be the ideal character for Barton to be working with. 'Hopefully Kevin thinks he can work his oracle with Joey and get his life back on track, both as a human being and as a footballer,' Taylor told BBC Five Live. 'At the same time you've got to be responsible for your own actions. We've tried to help Joey with the Sporting Chance clinic and to be there to help him when he's needed it. 'But you need to see something in return. It's not been good, it wasn't a good year, but the lad does have ability and you keep hoping he can put it behind him and move on. 'Whether that will happen, I don't know.' Sporting Chance chief executive Peter Kay has worked closely with Barton. Taylor believes the clinic established by former England and Arsenal defender Tony Adams can continue to play a crucial role in the Newcastle player's recovery. He said: 'If they can't do it, I'm not sure who can.' Barton is expected to meet up with the rest of the Newcastle squad before the season starts next month.

bart Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I have not seen anyone really ask this most important question, what is going to happen to Manchester City when the owner gets sent down. ? Its already been said that he has borrowed the money in the region of 250 million pounds that he has spent at the club so far. Its fairly likley he wont get his money back, that the courts have frozen in Thailand. ! City may be in real trouble here and end up sinking without a trace, if all goes wrong it will be the biggest bankcrupty of a club that has even been known !

I was surprised that Van de Sar managed to wake up for the pen round as he spent the game asleep unbothered in goal. :P Did 'Arry take Croutch off before the pen round? Should have been 1st choice to take one. :thinking: From what I saw of the game, the Skates looked shit against Manure reserves and 1 for 4 on pens LOL great job. :kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
