Barton’s a thug of the worst sort- hasn’t changed one bit at all.
What gives him the right to haul Gervinho up like that and then pretend he’s got hit like shit?
Rubbish.
Joey Barton what a wanker!! Goes down like a sack of shit after a little slap!! Thug?? More like pussy!!!
Serves Arsenal right after what Song tried to do…he shudve been sent off earlier.
no flopping in the epl. save that for liga
sum people never learn!
joey’s one of them.
Gervinho slapped Barton.. so he deserved the RED card.. Period.
Barton is such a shit sack.
Either barton goes down or not, As gervinho slapes he deserves to be sent off
A slap???? are you kidding me…some people need to google what a slap is!!
You call that a slap? My grandma slapped harder than that and even i didn’t fall on the ground in a heap. Barton did all that so he could be propa sure that Gervinho would be sent off. Whether or not it was a red card is not even in this debate. Barton is a fake cunt. If I was a Newcastle fan, which im not thankfully, I would be embarrassed. I’m a Liverpool fan and i know for a fact that Carragher or Gerrard would never do that. This is the Premiership not the WWE, fuck sakes and he gets payed for pulling shit like this. If he wasn’t a footballer he would be out there on the streets looting and rioting. Damn low life.
oh Barton..! what a Pussy…! he must be punished..!
It doesnt matter how hard the slap was, he raised his hand and that is a red card
Barton, F***** ASSHOLE….Shame on you….
wtf is taylor pointing out to the ref that Gervinho elbowed that t*be barton taylor played his part at getting him sent off barton should have been off what a wan**er
i think gervinho can give better than a slap. if it was me, i think ill give him a taste of my knuckle and beat him up since slapping can get you a red card might as well you beat him up straight, fuck you barton
yes, barton was wrong… but rules are clear. Gervinho deserved a card. rules says he deserved a card. even if barton stayed on his feet, gervinho would still have to get a red card. like it or not, the rules are clear.
How did Barton tear himself away from rioting and looting to play football? He jerks another player up by the jersey and gets slapped and it is so light he waits a second before hitting the turf. He went down like the sack of shit he is. Fuck him and feed him fish heads.
I thought it was brilliant – The Referee did not seem to do anything about it anyway, – So Barton decided to do something about it himself – Gevinho got what he derserved .
