He's right though. Why do people respond to him if they don't want to hear what he says? Click unfollow and stop moaning.

This is 100% correct.
He can't judge the FA he's never sat on a panel at the highest level.
When he retires we're going to have to listen to him all the time aren't we?

Probably, stick em on with Keane and Niall Quinn and you've a right bunch for a panel. I reckon it would just end up in a massive pasting for Niall.
At least he has something different to say unlike most other footballers. Might be a bit of a bellend but he is an interesting chap.
Anyone who thinks Barton is 'interesting' is a bellend.
Barton: I only went for the money
QPR midfielder Joey Barton has revealed his move to Loftus Road was motivated by money.
The 30-year-old is currently on loan at Marseille after falling out with the QPR hierarchy over his misconduct in the season-ending game against Manchester City. And his admission about his move from Newcastle last year could end any faint possibility of him rebuilding his bridges following the appointment of new boss Harry Redknapp.
"When I went to QPR it was a choice dictated by money," he was quoted as saying in the Sunday People. "I didn't like what I had done, and I swore I'd never do that again. It was the first time in my life that I had taken a decision for money. I did it because my partner was due to give birth - but I did not feel good about it."
Refreshing to hear a bit of honesty.

He might be a bit of an idiot, but at least he is being honest about the reasons. If only others could do the same.
He's a twat. Don't act like a cnut towards a club who's paying you such good wages. Try to show some respect.
Again, sometimes its better to say nothing than being honest.
Is being honest or being a douche?
My money is on douche.
My money is on douche.
Honest, perhaps. Though admitting "I only went for the money" a month after lambasting someone for being a mercenary, sort of undercuts yourself.
Starting for the Olympique De Marseille tonight against Lille.
Exactly. I am sure the footballing world is littered with players who have made moves purely motivated by the cash. But they manage to keep it to themselves.
He is a gobshite. Managed to fall out with every club he has been at. There must come a Time when he will realise its him with the problem.
He reckons he's too smart to be a footballer...
What an utter gobshite of a man. Great retort from Silvestre though!
He got booked on the 23rd min. Half time now. Hopefully he will see red
He's an attention whore and it is crazy journos give him exactly what he craves for.He's a nobody who's made his reputation by being a cnut and not a footballer
Is this the level journalist's have stooped to?

Joey quick to develop a french accent.

Almost as bad as Steve McClaren's Dutch accent! Not sure what to make of Barton to be honest. He spoke a lot of sense about the FA after his 12 match ban and then the bans to both Suarez and Terry. But statement's like "I'm too clever to be a footballer" are just moronic. Reminds me of when Cartman says he's not poor and stupid enough to be a NASCAR driver.
It's one of those things, I imagine many people talk like that on holiday after a week or so.
It's more a case of trying to sound more local such that your voice is more receptive to people around you.
It's picked up in interviews like that but I dare say if you plonked me or you in a foreign country in a month or so, we'd subconsciously do exactly the same thing.
If you want to sound local, then you have to speak the language rather than trying to speak your own language with a silly accent. Been living in France since 2001, and when I speak English to my parents, they think I come from another country aind not England itself. A foreigner who speaks broken English in their own country will often find that they understand those who speak broken English to them, rather than someone who speaks to them in the Queens English.
He may be a cnut but he can actually be quite funny so I like him.
His explanation for speaking "bartonese" as he calls it is its easier to speak like someone out of allo allo to French journos than in a scouse accent, he has a point.
Maybe all scousers should speak like that

That's my point. He sounds kind of stupid to an Englishman, but he sounds far less scouse, and is probably far more understandable than speaking 10 words to a second in his mother tongue so to speak.
I like him, so long as he isn't assaulting people. Interesting character
Cost us the title last year on purpose, hate him with a passion.
To be fair to Schteve and Zhoey, I used to do it to an italian girl I went out with for a bit. Until she told me it was actually much harder to understand because she learnt listening to English people, and that if she started saying "grat sea melee" to me it wouldn't be nearly as helpful as I think.
There's a certain logic to it though, and it does at least display an attempt - albeit small - to communicate on someone elses terms rather than just shouting louder in English.
The best bit about Zhoey's accent though is the inserted "ers" which make it sound more authentic, but are also hilariously redundant since they indicate an affected "I'm thinking about what ze english for zis word is" moment that he doesn't need.
At one point he even corrects himself after making a deliberate gramatical error in his own language!

It's not as amusing to listen to when I do it, but I find myself speaking a bit Americanized having lived here - obviously it's the same language but it's easier for me to modify my accent a bit at times when I can't be bothered explaining myself slowly to someone, so I can understand the impulse.
CringeeeeeLooks like he will be challenging for Major honours in France this year. Marseille are second, level on points with PSG, with a goal difference of +6! 17 for and 11 against.
He will be just as bad as David Beckham was when he went to Spain. I bet Becks was looking for the Spanish equivalent of "ya know", because every third word of his was "ya know." Welcome to France Joey!!
Like the way he also slags of the french league saying its boring. 
I love that his idea of intelligence is listening to The Smiths and quoting Nietzsche Brilliant. Just saw it now on SSN and never seen them all laugh so much, even the camera crewthat was absolutely painful viewing. Cringe!!!
lolz....
but he does have a point about losing 1:0 or 5:0
