Just pulled in to fill up at the Martineau Lane BP and who should be a the pump next to me? Joey Barton !!!! Silver Maseratti looked nice. A ambert kind of player through and through I would have thought.

I will wait to see if I spot him in Asda later when I go shopping!!

The same Barton who will have one more season at Newcastle before leaving on a free? I call shenanigans!

How is he a Lambert type player? Past his best, a thug on the pitch and criminal off it.

Hard to think of anyone who is more likely to upset the great team spirit we have at the moment. Also not the sort of person I (and hopefully most) would want associated with our club.

Past his best? He arguably just had his best ever season.

Complete rubbish though. Too expensive, not a Lambert player, out of our league.

He had a great season this year.Character aside, Joey Barton is, for me, an excellent, very under-rated footballer. If it wasn''t for his misdemeanours I reckon he would''ve had a lot more than just the one England cap.As for us signing him, this is not going to happen this summer or next. But I remember that he did join Norwich on Football Manager once upon a time.

He has got a nice motor though.

We wouldn''t want to pay the level of wages he would want anyway.

Did you not engage him in conversation and establish the nature of his business?

Yeah he did.

Then Barton lumped him one and drove off without paying.

He was deep in conversation with portly gent in the passenger seat. Seemed a bit impolite to interupt, knowing waht a stickler for good manners our Joey is.

Well done Mungo! [Y][:)]

He''s probably just here to hang out with Chris Martin :P

I''d be so disappointed if PL would think Barton was a good fit in the team.

I just think he is a thug.

[Mungo Bumpkin 0]

I hadn''t considered the Chris Martin aspect. Could a bare-knuckle fight behind a caravan be in the offing? Come to think of it, there were some unsavoury sorts in grubby vests on the forecourt as well. Joey''s entourage?
