Joey Barton on 14:27 - Dec 7 with 3292 views | dmm | Would that be Professor Noam Chomsky, laureate professor of linguistics at the University of Arizona and an institute professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whose work revolutionised the field of linguistics to such a degree that he's known as the father of modern linguistics? Not clever enough for you? | | | |
Joey Barton on 14:32 - Dec 7 with 3266 views | FDC | Ha no I love Chomsky, especially the way he has essentially turned into Gandolf. I meant Barton clearly thought he was very clever for quoting him a lot at one point. | | | |
Joey Barton on 14:34 - Dec 7 with 3261 views | FDC | I was camping a few weeks ago with a friend and a German guy I didn't know. My friend went to bed and I sat up drinking with the German guy, who all of sudden started explaining how the earth was flat, along with a whole host of bizarre conspiracy theories. Very surreal experience. | | | |

Joey Barton on 14:59 - Dec 7 with 3188 views | gazza1 | Funny really because I didn't mind him as a player, yea he did a few naughty things at times, but off the field, from what I read, he is not good and a bit of an issue. | | | |
Joey Barton on 15:00 - Dec 7 with 3174 views | BazzaInTheLoft | I thought he was shite as a player too. | | | |
Joey Barton on 15:03 - Dec 7 with 3171 views | Northernr | If we'd bought him at his true valuation and sold him on at what he thought he was worth we'd have solved our FFP problems in ne go. | | | |
Joey Barton on 15:06 - Dec 7 with 3154 views | Boston | His brother did not embed an axe into the deceaseds head. He did not embed anything into the victim anywhere at any time. He was justifiably imprisoned for his willing part in the attack where a third party committed the murder. [Post edited 7 Dec 2023 15:07]

Joey Barton on 15:45 - Dec 7 with 3048 views | FDC | Incidentally a few years ago I taught a language course. The guy that had written it was obviously a bit of a Stephen Pinker fan, very much emphasizing him over Chomsky in terms of theory etc. This was when Pinker was at his height of getting stuck into culture war discourse, so I felt compelled to redress the balance in Chomsky's favour over time...

Joey Barton on 16:25 - Dec 7 with 2944 views | traininvain | Sorry it was his cousin who used the axe but Barton initiated the confrontation and supplied the axe. He was held jointly responsible and convicted of murder. Still a scumbag. | | | |
Joey Barton on 16:42 - Dec 7 with 2875 views | dmm | Good for you, FDC. I don't like Pinker either. | | | |
Joey Barton on 16:54 - Dec 7 with 2847 views | gazza1 | Well Jeff, I understand he was a naughty boy but haven't we all been at one time or another in our lives.......I have heard a few QPR players saying enjoying his company & he is a good lad and they still talk. As for his football side, unlike many I do not know what he cost us or what he sold for or what his wages are so I don't make comment. On the pitch, he played for some decent sides, was made captain of our team by Warnock(??), played for us approaching 100 times, selected whenever he was fit as good as, delegated corner & free kick taker and so on, played with his heart on his sleeve...... But hey, posters on here thought he was 'shite', etc, etc.....I thought he did ok for us overall. | | | |

Joey Barton on 20:38 - Dec 7 with 2464 views | loftupper | Just a mild misogynist then? Nothing wrong with being nostalgic for days when women were less represented in TV Coverage of a sport that men, women, boys and girls all like watching. After all the likes of Clinton Morrison and Jamie Mackie are well worth every penny paid to them for their insightful commentary. | | | |
