Joey back monday

[Ed the Ball]

What's the betting he don't turn up

Even money

[lymehoop]

if he don't then can we terminate his contract?

[cowleyhoop]

I was thinking about this the other day and thought Cisse, Diakite and Bosingwa would be the most likely candidates to blow out training come monday. Rekon Barton will show if i remember rightly the club gave him a final warning after the 12 match ban. As much of a @#@# as he is no way will he risk getting sacked and lose out on any possible pay off

[Johnnykc]

I don't want him back, but if he does return, I hope he returns as the world-beater he thinks he is.

Absolutely....Barton TALKS the best game of football ever.....

[Bluehoop]

Someone remind me - does he still have to serve the ban in England, even though he sat out some time previously?

No

[Ric-Roc]

Can't stand him but would welcome his bite in midfield going into a season which will mainly be battles.

Yeah agree...some of his comments have p*ssed me off ...but if he wanted to play and play to the top of his game he'd be a must in our mf

[stanistheman]

If he is committed to playing for QPR he can be a major player in the season ahead.
And he only got sent off twice last season and that included being sent off for nothing more than putting his head towards Johnson against Norwich.
His sending off at city was stupid but he was reacting to being hit by Tevez. Cisse got sent off twice in his first five appearances!

Joey Barton does not want to play for QPR. He will not be up for the fight. He's made all this clear himself.
Therefore I don't want him back.

I didn't want him back, but not sure now.
I think if he was willing to fight for us we would have a real strong side, all eyes will always be on him in the media so a good half of the season could lead to a move for him in January.

barton is a marked man in british football he's finished , every ref wants to card him and every manager will tell his team to wind him up , barton is a spoiler on the pitch therefore he is always having to tackle and players will go down like they have been poleaxed conning refs

Is the picture you paint really so different in France?

[Del]

What´s the point in having him in the team if he tends to get himself sent off every other match?

Why write stuff that is just plain b011ox???

He got 2 red cards for us, one of which was a farce and should never have even been yellow, so lets say 1... in a full season... yeah what a shocking tally for someone in the think of it every match!

[jfish]

We love players that divide the fans don't we!

Tarrabt and Barton will be the subject of many arguments in SA Road this year.

Throw the F Block phantom farter into the equation and it could be mayhem.
