Deserves to be booed and given pelters The bloke is a Kunt , The final straw was slagging off Rodney
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles
Brian Moore
After a few years of him at the club we should know he loves it when opposition fans boo him as it motivates him. I'd just clap him at the start then ignore him and just support the current team
Never got the Barton hate ? Played with more passion than the majority of other wasters to pull on our shirt over the last couple of years.
Yes he is a bit of a knob but to boo him would be just classless from us !
By the same token, I've never understood this "at least he showed some passion". Firstly, on the pitch, constantly giving the ball away, wasting every attacking free kick and corner we got for four fcking years, and getting sent off on four separate occasions for four acts of stupidity in vital matches for us does not equate to passion. Mackie, Ainsworth, Bardsley, Holloway - these people played with passion, to huge positive effect for the team. Barton played with ego.
Off the pitch he slagged QPR off far more often than Bosingwa or anybody else. Never shy of saying he'd made a mistake coming here, only came for the money, desperate to leave for Narseille, desperate to leave for Everton, never playing for us in the Championship etc.

agree with actonman - he always gave 100% whether he played well or sh*t - much better than some of the lazy wasters we have on our books - Fer comes to mind

Exactly so surely the focus needs to be on us and what JFH is going to do. Would be great to ignore him but as said not much chance. Big game to win. That is all.

You'll have to remind me when Fer has publicly said the club is a shambles that he regrets joining, that he should never have left Norwich to come here, that he's desperate to leave, that he'll never play for us in the Championship, that he only came here for the money. You'll also have to remind me of all the petulant acts of temper he's displayed at key moments of vital games resulting in red cards.
Personally, I'm hoping for a rousing ironic chorus of "you should have stayed with the Rangers" in the 88th minute as he leaves the pitch following his red card with Burnley 4 down .....
Perhaps Barton's appearance as an opposition player will allow us to judge him in a more objective way.
My assessment of him was that he was good when he played in a disciplined defensive role, but poor when passing when further forward. He was also a player who could really lose his way roving all over the field trying to do everything. We'll see how it pans out on Saturday.

Is that double reverse psychology? Yes, let's mess with his head.
after the deserved abuse most of us heaped on him at 0-2 down to Liverpool, a lesser man could quite easily have chosen to disappear from view a la Traore but for the last 2 seasons, faults and all, he always gave his best.

Nah, I'll take Fer thanks.
Well you can give him credit for speaking the truth . We all know the rest of them including fer think the same but are not stupid enough to say it.
The fact is he was not as good as he thought but he was a hell of a lot better than anybody gave him credit for
Your right, all his misplaced passes / sh!t free kicks and corners never did us any favours but if we're going to go down that road of slating ex players cos they where sh!t then that's one hell of a list to draw up.
Really important that he gets ignored and not booed. Barton thrive's off negativity towards him and genuinely think it would help our cause to give him nothing.
I don't think he thrives off it at all. I think it's all a pretend act with joey, and he wants to be popular.
