Haha, you know what though, guys like Joey Barton have made a career out of being hated. If he wasn't a thug and general annoyance he'd just be a 2nd rate midfielder who we'd already have forgotten about. Goes to show that there really is no such thing as bad publicity!

Man that is so true! I remember Joey Barton vividly but no one will talk about Danny Guthrie who was used more in midfield than Joey during his time in Newcastle
