Of Antics And Arses


That Joey Barton is a bad boy isn't he. That awful tackle at the weekend on his former team mate Diskson Etuhu.

FA are not going to take any action though, which seems even more shocking.

It's not the first time he has been in trouble. There was the time he was suspended by his previous club Manchester City after hitting a team mate Ousmane Dabo during a training session.

And he seems to have a bit of trouble keeping his clothes on.

Not afflicted by an overdose of modesty either:

It's always nice to be linked with the big boys and always nice to be gazed at from afar and be admired for your football.

Talking of Arses, the Arse are up against Reading tonight at The Madejski Stadium. My lover has his fingers crossed but the fact that Reading have played Arsenal just 7 times at home and lost every match means it could be a bit of an uphill haul. And the Gunners are in amazing form at the moment, led by the enigmatic Wenger.

Those Royals do have a habit of sneaking out of the shadows and taking everyone by surprise though.

  1. three one....and fair play to GB's son's team. There are a lot of interviews in the press about what Steve Coppell thought of them. Full of admiration and regret that you cannot (seemingly) do that sort of footy with english boys. I'm not so sure. As for Joey....well he's a haracter in line with marsh, the bowles and the best. Flawed talent. How I recognise that !
