Ah joe. Just take a break man.

[Norths]

WTF, they heading on to jeremy kyle next week?

[Ric-Roc]

Don't blame him for sticking up for himself but f@ck sake turn it in.

Any chance of channelling your energy elsewhere.... Like a football pitch maybe?

[Stanley]

He's clearly still very bitter about his treatment as this and the Open All R's QPR podcast bear out.

[QPRDUBLIN]

Gettin a bit old now alright. Sighhhh

I agree with that bit quite a lot, by the sounds of it they are idiots and Joey's doing the right thing if you ask me

[dpmd]

Shut up Joey FFS! We pay your wages now and not them.

[BennyBoyRs]

Oh dear. Now a man should let a fat w@nker and his sidekick openly #### him?

Fairplay to Joey on this one. Far more restrained than I'd be.

[KASPARS BOOTS]

Joey is right and far too intelligent for that classless idiot Llambas. As for channelling his energies he posts these views on twitter whilst relaxing at home in the evenings, so it not really IMO interfering with any commitments he has to us. I enjoy following joey on twitter very intelligent and articulate. Even my wife likes him !!

The lad has done and said a few things that have wound me up in the past. I even heard something he said in his time here that was pretty out of order, but this time he's bang on. As I said, I'd have said a bit more on top of that. He's clearly got something on those two as he's pretty vocal and adamant about it all.

There was a big thread about standing up for yourself on here recently. Where's the difference here?

Parity and all that. It's clearly an issue he's not happy about. What would you do in his shoes?

Be honest.

Another thing to add to this. With Adel slagging the club, disrespecting the boss, throwing a strop at the fans, walking out at half time, going missing and not reporting back, etc.

How many defended that? Take the arrogance away and you lose the genius. Oh that's just Adel, you know what you get. All sorts of reasons to defend him.

On that basis, couldn't you say the same for Barton? At least he's tried to improve his attitude to life, and at least he puts in a shift.

All this is his own undoing, granted, but why our fans feel the need to pop at him all the time is beyond me. Let him do what he does in his own time, and put the hard work in for us on match day. That's all I want from him.

Since Joey has been playing in the middle with Faurlin, (his best position) what more do you want from him on the pitch ?

Some people on here really think Adel should be allowed to do what he wants whenever he wants and we should just accept it, but Joey has to shut up and knuckle down. Several weeks ago when all sorts of people were digging out Joey, it was crystal clear that they were the same people who wanted Adel to still be captain and treated like he was last year.

Would rather our players on the back pages not the front.

To much to ask?
