Shame on you!

Barton's biggest problem is no longer that he goes looking for trouble but that opposing players now target him and try to provoke a reaction.

His biggest challenge now is learning to deal with that and not rise to the bait - not an easy thing at all for someone with his anger-management issues.

I totally agree with you. He obviously cares about our club, otherwise he wouldn't of done what he did after. Let's hope he learns. Can't fault his passion though. He's openly admitted that one of our players told him to get one of their players sent off, after he received his marching orders.

Obviously he responded poorly to Tevez's crap and he should know better but I have no problem with him trying to take a City player with him if that is in fact what he was trying to do! He probably added several games to his ban by being the super villian and but it was worth a try and at the end of the day we survived!

Instead would you not rather he had been the bigger man and controlled his temper, making him available for those 14 games he'll now likely be banned for?
