There's something about this twat that makes me warm to him - weird, might just be pity.
we've all been guilty of saying the odd work with a foreign accent twang by accident when we've been abroad and luckily gotten away with it!!
Barton's response:Gay hero? Surely there's only one man to herald football's watershed moment... step forward Joey Barton
Could just one footballer please come out and be gay, so everybody can be really cool about it and the sport can get on with its life? Just one, it’s not much to ask surely?
Football is beginning to sound a little desperate with its pleading. Rugby, cricket, they’ve all had their gay watershed moment.
And until football does, too, it will continue to be presumed that the sport has not evolved enough to handle male homosexuality.
(Hope Powell, the manager of England’s women, has been openly gay for years, without comment, yet that does not seem to count.)
The gay pressure group, Stonewall, has called again for football to tackle its ‘culture of fear’, while Anders Lindegaard, the Manchester United goalkeeper, has said that football needs a ‘gay hero’.
So here’s a thought. Joey Barton continues his quest for intellectual and social respectability. Why not come out as gay?
Instant credibility, instant respect, untouchable by the Football Association or future employers. His past misdeeds mentally reprocessed and explained.
‘Well, of course he put his cigar out in that bloke’s face, Gary. He was a tortured soul, forced to live a lie.’
And imagine the new material. A never-ending treasure trove for Barton’s Twitter feed: Alexander the Great, Leonardo da Vinci, Oscar Wilde, Lady Bunny.
And, let’s face it, with that new accent, he’s probably halfway there.

I will probably have to sue. I don't really need the money or the hassle. So I offer this as a olive branch.
Actually, no. Theres no olive branch. Enough's enough.
I've put a call in to colleagues of Martin's asking him to call me and explain his piece and his homophobia in general.
Such a strange article to write.I shall wait for his retort before I decide what to do. Its actually a disgusting piece. That says more about him and his outlook.
Anyone else seeing the huge twitter row he's having with Didi Hamann at the mo? Hamann destroyed him and now Barton's coming out with all kinds of stuff about drugs etc.
It got RT'd into my timeline so I went and had a look for myself. Barton was eviscerated, I am expecting to hear reports of him going out and taking it out on a poor random Frenchman in Marseille.Anyone else seeing the huge twitter row he's having with Didi Hamann at the mo?

My mistake.
Surprised by how personal it got. Be interesting to see what happens when they come face to face.It got RT'd into my timeline so I went and had a look for myself. Barton was eviscerated, I am expecting to hear reports of him going out and taking it out on a poor random Frenchman in Marseille.

No worries.My mistake.
Barton slagging off Newcastle for missing out on Remy. Hamann reminding him that Newcastle paid him lots of cash. (Most of which while he was in jail)What did Hamann say to Barton to get him that riled up?

It's always unfair, these verbal battles when one has such a problem with the language. Feel bad for Barton.
Only Joey Barton can get the people of England to take the side of a German.
