10 Things Joey Barton Wants You To Forget

1. The French Accent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBgKudlYhJE Despite every incident Barton has got himself into, there's been very little in the way of apologies coming from him. Somebody self-deluded enough to believe they were the victim in each instance would have a hard time saying 'sorry' to the real victims. But surely even he cringes when his infamous French interview is played, despite defending it on Twitter as 'Bartonese'. His spell at QPR was paused while he jetted off to Marseille on loan. He continued to speak in English, with a baffling French twang, presumably in an effort to allow the French press to better understand what he was saying. All it did was provide increasing evidence that Barton is little more than an attention-craving egotist. Yes, he can have a decent game every so often for QPR, but that's where he should stay, on the football pitch. Why do we want to hear the ramblings of a convicted thug blaring through our television sets? That's just 10 reasons why Barton should be banished from our screens, but there are plenty more. What sort of message does it put across if an ongoing repeat-offender is given free reign and revered as an 'expert'? Not a great one, that's for sure. The sooner he disappears, the better. Listen up, beeb.
