What I don’t agree with is that Barton ‘didn’t give a sh*t about us’ part. Whilst I agree the traditions, history of the club meant nothing to him — he only signed for the money after all — on the pitch I don’t think you can ever accuse Barton of not giving anything other than 100%. Unlike many other players over the last few years (when on the pitch) he always put his body on the line, never shirked a challenge, always took responsibility, regularly barked out orders on the pitch, and funnily enough was one of the best at talking and educating the youth team kids at training (allegedly).
I would hope the fans refrain from cheering him on his return. He made mistakes at Rangers (mainly the sending offs) which cost us, plus his conduct on Twitter is always a source of irritation. However, in terms of effort, commitment on the pitch, we’ve had far worse. As much as I didn’t like him and think it was right to release him, I always felt we were a better side with him in it. I despise people that collect their (generous) wage and don’t give a fck about training and trying during games far more than I do people that act like tw*ts off the pitch but at least show 100% commitment on the pitch. |
It's hard to argue with that too much, but still, when it came to big games - the ones that relied on us having to save ourselves from relegation, or play '6 pointers', he inevitably let us down. Not to mention the copious games where his ego forced countless missed opportunities through his insistence on taking every set piece and trying to be pirlo when he couldn't be further from it.
Anyway the Barton thing is done to death. Good for anybody that rates him and wants to sing his name, we obviously have different views on what we want from a player, on and off the pitch. |  |

When Burnley come to Loftus Road, if Barton plays - ideally we don't cheer or boo him.
Just give him an ignore imho! Either of the other two options would make him play better and or erupt on Twitter afterwards. |  | | |

Barton's contract was effectively the sequel to The Four Year Plan. This terrible recent era began when he arrived and has hopefully ended now he's left. |  | | |

Odd signing. He must have dropped his wages dramatically.
Im not bothered where he goes now tbh. |
His wage demands.
His lucrative QPR contract was paid in full. |  | | |

I'm hoping it's like that horror film 'It Follows' where you are being slowly pursued by the most terrifying ghost thing ever and have to pass it on by sleeping with someone.
For the last few years QPR have been oddly quite hated it seems. Let's hope we've passed it to Burnley now. |
Lol, yeah this.
I feel like a weight has lifted. Unless he gets Dyche the sack and starts tweeting about us again. (It goes up the chain non-It Follows film fans)
As for boo or cheer, ffs - indifference please, have some self respect ffs. |  | | |

Some classic Barton quotes in here.
The truth is he had a choice of a Swiss side and Burnley. Burnley offered him a contract first and he looked around everywhere and there were no other British, Spanish, French, German, etc clubs interested.
As for the 50p wages thing. That's called Hobson's.
The bit about "why would he rock the boat" is basically the contract he has signed lays out specific penalties for when he opens his big gob.
This will all be fine until he reaches the next stage in his career of being regularly dropped from the first team.
Some more deluded quotes will then follow.

Joey Barton has criticised clubs in the Premier League for ignoring the chance to sign him on a free transfer this summer.
The midfielder, who has joined Burnley, feels he still deserved a chance to play in the top division after being released by QPR.
What a delusional cnt. He just won't accept that he's bang average. Even if he was close to being as good as he thinks, clubs still won;t take a chance on him because he is also a massive fckin tw@t and a gobshite. Can't wait until he fcks off into obscurity, although even MOTD will probably ruin that for me, probably have his own show with Robbie Saverage and I'll have to shoot myself in the fckin face. | |

Yes, he did 'OK' whilst being paid a stupid amount (QPR's fault) but it was all the baggage that comes with him; the needles sendings off, incapable of handling big games or not being able to be wound up by tw@ts like Bradley Johnson that let him, and ultimately QPR, down. |  | | |

Strange how all of a sudden, we were the pits, and how he hated coming in to train. I thought he said he would like to stay with us, and sign a new deal, if the club offered it.
Now Burnley is the bollox, and what a joy it is to turn up and train, with so many happy faces. That could now change. | | | |

He will definitely score against us from a free kick. Having wasted 99% of our attacking set pieces over the past four years he'll suddenly become fcking brilliant at them for one afternoon.
Still trying to pull the wool over people's eyes with this "I'm a premier League quality player but people are judging me on my behaviour before I got married and settled down." 1 - exactly how long ago was it that he got sent off in a crucial game at Hull for us for punching somebody in the balls? 2 - clever PR strategy, distracting away from the truth that he's no more a Premier League player than I am. |  | | |

Poor poor West Ham. I'm sure they'll regret passing up on the dramatic money drain that is Joey Barton, and they'll be positively kicking themselves once they realise they only have the meagre talents of Mark noble, Alex Song, Dmitri Payet, Kouyate, that 16 year old wonderkid etc. to play in their midfield.
Mr Barton, I salute your utter contempt for reality

What is sad is that forevermore (when he is for example doing the 2- 4am slot on talksport in 10 years time) they will still be referring to him as ex QPR.
If we pass into the Peoples republic of Jeremy Corbyn will we simply be able to expunge him from the record- make him a non person? If so Jezza has my vote. |  | | |
