kurtsimonw Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What do people think of Scholes? After years of him being silent, I'm not sure I'm that happy hearing him now. Thought he was crap to be honest. He didn't really seem to know what to say and it came across that way. The unnecessary knocks at City and their fans came across as a bit of bitterness as well. Unprofessional and generally poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Wow, so Joey Barton saying that Arsenal have no spine is front page news on BBC Sport. Sort it out BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Listened to a bit of Barton on the 5 live preview show...actually really enjoyed some of the points and observations he made. Couldn't stop himself making another woman analogy though. I was wondering why he hadn't seen him on MOTD2 yet but suppose the beeb are still a bit sensitive after Question Time so are cautiously putting him on the radio first.

Oaks Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) The problem with Barton is he actually believes he's intelligent, because he has read some philosophy...I'm not sure he understands it. At least Savage knows he's a thick word removed. Edited October 4, 2014 by Oaks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did make some good points about Fabregas and Arsenal from what I've heard so would like to see him on MOTD2 or extra soon as a fresh pundit.

Jimzk5 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Barton was on goals on sunday a few weeks' ago, whilst he tries to come across as intelligent and articulated, you have to remember Tha he isn't. He is, actually a rocket polisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted October 5, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2014 Barton is the guy who once stubbed out a cigar in someone's eye. Dirty, disgraceful, word removed of a man. I don't want to listen to him talk let alone know that he'll be paid for it. (yes, I typed out "word removed"). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Joey Barton is pure scum. Suarez got rightly got a lot of criticism for biting but he just reacted like a petulant child. Barton on the other hand is just a nasty individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Watching motd2, the usual rubbish being talked about by a cobbled together panel of shit players who were bit parts of decent teams, and then I realised Phil Neville is now 38 years old and still has highlights in he's hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
