Ah Joey Barton. One day a local boy done good, next day a genetically-doomed hooligan. I, for some reason, like him, but am occasionally reminded that maybe I shouldn't.
Is he your mate? Is he about to cave your face in? You decide:
The Case Against
- Arrested last night for assaulting a cabbie.
- Swears at fans.
- Scrapping with Everton fans in Thailand, after whcih he bit Richard Dunne. As you do.
- Stubbed out a cigar in a City trainee's eye. (well they've got to learn somehow)
The Case For
- Gets stick every week for his lunatic brother's imprisonment for killing a guy with an axe (in a racially motivated attack- nasty) and yet has continually improved as a player over the last year, recently breaking into the England squad.
- Quite rightly accused the England players of cashing in on a decidedly shit World Cup Campaign by releasing 'my meaningless life so far..' books.
- Called Lampard fat at his first England training session.
- Moonied Everton fans a few months back, prompting superb 'Police probe Barton's Bottom' headlines. Pic above for the ladies.

Was it my imagination or did Barton also moon Citeh fans who were singing 'You're not fit to wear the shirt'? On his way back from ahem going to the crowd and throwing them his shirt.
I also think his style of mooney, the nonchalant keep on walking quick pull of the elastic up and down in a second should be known as pulling a Barton. Which can also mean a racially motivated axe-attack in a nice part of Liverpool.
lovely arse tho
