McFaul

The only good thing is I reckon he'll not be bound by disclaimers and hopefully he lets rip with bits of the truth about the club that we don't already know about. He's not the type to go quietly.

I think this #stevebrucesleepsinaSMBshirt is one of the most pathetic things I've seen on twitter yet. 200 people have tweeted and it wasn't funny the first time.

Barton embracing the French revolution with that top! Black and white hoops, very poignant.

http://yfrog.com/kldzdzumj davidsedgwickNE David Sedgwick @leazeslad Me with Joey Barton. SSN's David Craig took the pic... yfrog.com/kldzdzumj I do these fucking journalists jobs for them. See that's how you get confirmation of something.

I've told him I'll believe his story if he takes a pic of Barton, they're on the same train. Holding up a sheet of paper. Barton holding up "I'm not Paul Wyn" would complete me.

It's being tweeted by people less reliable than @cwarr07 on twitter.

I agree with most of that, but the fact is he said less than 4 weeks ago he'd go no where unless a CL club came in for him, so we'll see if he's a man of his word, and to be fair regardless of all his problems, he's never told a public lie yet.

Just had me mate on the phone who's views are similar to CT's his argument is let him go because he's saying we've got 16 people who can play MIDFIELD, and had the cheek to include Perch, Smith and Donaldson. That's a knowledgable mate of mine who's actually a really good lad, so if someone as level headed as him can come out with that, it's nee wonder there's so many wanks out there starting to stand up for this fucking regime. As I said to him quality not quantity.

The daft thing about this is why wait now to start pushing him about fucking 8 days before the window shuts, Pardew even said if Joey goes we'll need some cunt else in, seems like a ploy to lower the wage tally to me. Have we got enough time to get an adequate replacement at a decent price? I fucking doubt it, the nearer we get to the window closing the more prices go up, you saw that with Carroll, and if he does go, you'll see some excuse saying we were priced out of the market and we'll get nobody in to an already threadbare squad.

Can you not remember that headline in the Daily Record man when Celtic were in for him about 3 years ago. "CELTIC IN FANNI HUNT" fuck knows how they got away with it.

This still cracks me up btw. He was a class player, not one of the true great but class all the same. He'd have an even bigger reputation if he played elsewhere other than Milan because they were thee club, and the likes of him and Boban only played half the games they should have cos of the 3 and 4 foreigner rule. Class though all the same.

What are these fucking idiots doing?!?!?!??! We've given QPR permission to speak to Barton for FUCK SAKE! A decent start, and now this.

I think he goes to The Gorbals for his hols but he's not technically Scottish. Worrying that we're linked with him today by the way.

Gambling addict who was indirectly responsible for the Mackems getting falsely promoted Exactly right. Wish Keegan had've lamped him that neet at Stoke.

One of my mates always says "I'm as knowledgable as you about football" to be fair he has his moments, but what a shocker this is text...."had this trivia question in the office been racking our brains for 3 hours and no ones got it, a former Scottish international who's surname ends in an i" I thought I bet if I put this up on TT someone would get it in 2 minutes. Even deadman would get this.... Right annoying fucka too the player.

gooooooooood lad!!! Congratulations kidda. Canny signing her mind! I'll buy you a drink if I see you out on Sunday. It was signing for the peskies that turned it round lets be fair.

That just highlights the dangers of beards tbh. 8 weeks without a shave and it already appears that you are lurking in a soft play centre trying to show kids your helmet.

Aye it's top notch, best one in Ryton/Crawcrook/Prudda by a mile. I meant the one in Sandyford (Starbeck Avenue). No idea if it's still there even. Ah aye, been there when I used to work in Jesmond, it was alright, I'm thinking of StarGATE which is at the top of Ryton.

Fucking hell, aye that lot, Travellers Rest. Just joined this season like, that Sean doesn't play anymore but the other two do. 880,000 people on Tyneside and we both know at least one of them kids. Proper small world like.

Depends which one you go to. Cowgate is the best chippy in the UK, rest are mediocre I agree.

I've heard that one along from The Rising Sun on the coast road is canny like. That used to be a belta one near where me nana used to live on Sutton Street in Walkergate, but I think it's shut down now.

Ocassionally, aye. Used to be 'blood brothers' 'cos my mother and fatha used to let him stay at ours for weeks on end. He's abit older than me but still see him at family doos and what have ye. Really good lad, just got divorced a few month back. I'll ask him if he kna's you. Think he's still playing sunday league. He'll not naa me now but he will from about 95 to 98. He wasn't mouthy like the rest of them.
