barton today

[Chopper]

gave his all. Played like a leader.

I like to see Barton doing his talking on the pitch not off it.

Sooner he quits Twitter the better.

On his day he is a solid midfielder.

[Kit]

His best game for us !

[QPRDave]

Have criticised him heavily in the past,.........today is alot more like i expect from him, even though he still gave it away a couple of times.

[acricketer]

Looked committed to the cause today. Good game from him.

[Droghoop]

His set pieces are still god awful, he shouldn't be allowed near a dead ball, but yes, he played well today, still gives the ball away a bit too easily sometimes.

[80sCasual]

He was fighting for every ball though, even to the point where he nearly broke Ferdinands ribs and not only that almost booked on a few occasions too.
Agree though he does still give the ball away too easily on occasions and although a few of his corners were ok the majority were **** poor.

[LBLOCK]

[TRING-RANGER]

Yeah, of course he did, to allow you something to whine about. The fact he didn't must escape your simpleton mind.

[Yousef]

Not a bad game for him.

[swanleyhoop]

I thought he was noticeably better yesterday, don't know what his pass completion rate was, but I bet it was more than the usual 50% or so he has been churning out.
He was also better in the captain's role, geeing players up, didn't see the having-a-go stuff of last week, made a point of running over to shake Adel's hand when he went off etc.

[LBLOCK]

Oh Del.... You've done me there

I don't know whether to spend the whole day crying or to self harm

People are happy to see players on 60k demonstrate a complete inability to transfer a static ball from the corner quadrant into the 6 yard box then fine for them. Apologies if I expect a tad more

Now....does a simpleton cry or harm? Or shall I just continue whining?
