Some quite revealing quotes from Barton in his recent GQ Style interview:

"I completely let myself down but it's not a rational situation. I knew we could be relegated, they could win the league and I'm captain. There's a bit of a media spotlight on me so if we go down, I'm going to take a lot of s***. My inner chimp doesn't work well with injustice, it reacts too quickly. Tevez has done what he's done, I have reacted and the aftermath is...
I was already getting it on Twitter so pressure started building and I didn't handle it well.

I look at it now and it's almost like it's not me. I'm like 'What the **** were you thinking?' At the time in some weird way I thought it was the correct way but, looking at it now, I know it wasn't. I've got to learn a lesson from that. The thing it reiterated to me was just how far I am from the person I want to be."

I'm happy for Joey, this is the best possible move for him IMO and he gets to play in the Champions League
