John He is on loan on a pay for play basis....guess what he is injured. He actually scored when he had a broken leg before we popped him up to you for £6m. It was that Robson chap who also collared Titus. Those two only fired on 3 cylinders...shame really. Christ is he sill alive? Not Christ, but Kieron Dyer lol Was it him who had the standup fist fight with the Barton character when they both played (supposedly) for the same team? It wasn't so much a stand up fist fight, as a direct attck on his teammate Ousmane Dabo at Man City. It was basically GBH by any other name. Barton is a very aggressive character who has been involved in violence towards others on many occasions. Not a pleasant individual IMO. Joey Barton I think you will find he has matured somewhat over the last 2 years. The sending off in the Arsenal game when he was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by Diaby being a good example. 2 years ago Diaby would have got snotted, this time Barton just shrugged it off. He doesn't drink anymore either, which obviously negates the thug in him on nights out. It took him a while but I think he has finally grown up and joined the human race. One of very few individuals who has had the guts to take a look at himself, decide he didn't like what he saw and make some life changing decisions.
