He is a neanderthal turd, and should not be allowed to commmentate on the sport he continually brought into disrepute. Its a bit like having Mike Tyson commentate on boxing or OJ Simpson on American Football. Hes a serial football gambler who is banned from the sport. His opinions (like his bank account) are worthless So you're comparing a convicted rapist and an alleged murderer to a gambler? Yep

To be fair, being a gambler is the least of Barton's issues. He's an all round colossal twat.

Kind of a tangent here but it's related to the original thread. Some chap was on Danny Kelly's show last night saying that they're(Talksport) are going to lose listeners because folk find him offensive and won't tune in because of him. He even suggested Talksport should get rid of him because of it. Although I don't necessarily agree with Joey's comments, just because some people get "offended" by something doesn't mean it's wrong. If he was continually going out of his way to upset people then I'd look at his position within the company but I do feel people get offended rather too easily. I get myself a little bit wound up sometimes at what Adrian Durham says but end up more annoyed at myself for continuing to listen. No one is forcing me to tune in. "I'm offended by that" is nothing more than a whinge.

Agree so what I would do with Barton is simply say every time he opens his mouth to criticise anybody in the game that he has a track record of being a thug and a cheat so has no right to an opinion about anybody else. Don't argue with him, just call him out for what he is.

I generally try not to wish harm on many people, especially people who I am not really qualified to have such an opinion, but with this cock womble I can't wait for the headline that shows him sleeping rough and penniless, having lost his wad on gambling, booze, drugs or whatever else grips him. He is everything that is wrong about life, a real turd that has been blessed with a talent that gives him riches beyond most people's dreams...Tosser.

He is going to say something racist or libellous soon and put TalkSport in a difficult position. Why? Barton has never been involved in anything racist has he? I think you're confusing him with this brother. Say what you want about Barton, but he's an Everton fan and he's been in the game for a long time. Everton were utterly dreadful against Leicester. Shambolic. Then you've got this overweight ex-player with limited management experience, screaming and barking like a hyperactive dog, on the touchline, just looking miles and miles out of his depth. It'd be like Crystal Palace hiring Neil Shipperley.

I suppose that the difference is, is that Unsworth isn't being paid to be in a peak physical condition anymore. Regardless of anything else, a professional footballer should realise that they have to remain physically fit to perform adequately. It's not really a case of "well you're fat, so why can't I be?" I don't think he's saying anything wrong to be honest. Saying that a manager who's overweight loses the respect of players because he's not in a position to be bollocking them for not being fit enough or covering enough distance during games. It doesn't give a good impression though either. Unsworth is quite a shouty, jumpy manager and you've got this overweight bloke bouncing around on the touchline, it just doesn't look all that clever for me. If he was tactically brilliant, then he'd be sat down watching this team walk over a fairly poor Leicester team, but they were awful...... lots of problems in that Everton dressing room.

His opinions (like his bank account) are worthless I wouldn't imagine his bank balance is worthless. The guy will be a multi - millionaire SGS

Is Charlie making a statement or airing his personal wishlist? 😬

If my brother had done what Joey Bartons brother had done, I would have crawled under a rock, Joey didn't because he was earning big bucks, let's forget shoving lit cigars in young lads faces, criminal damage, repeatedly punching someone on the floor in the face, racial slurs against other players, headbutts, criminal damage again (he's obsessed with McDonald's) he's his brother but with money.
He's everything what's wrong with the celebrity culture.
Famous for being a weapon.
