Good morning my dears,
And we’ll kick off today with a quote from Willie McKay. Willie is Joey Barton’s agent of course. A little known fact about Willie is that he has a goldfish swimming in cerebral fluid in the gap where his frontal lobe used to be.
I think Barton would be a useful addition dependent only upon wage demands and our ability to move along the usual suspects.
Barton is undoubtedly bullish and a player with a focus if not the the most gifted bloke to ever kick a ball. So a good suitable character to throw into the mix with Sandro and Sarge.
Palacios is possibly off, but if he isn’t then the idea of someone to replace him when he picks up those inevitable yellows and has the ref watching him like a hawk is a good one.
Discipline wise he ‘s a checkered past but who amongst us aside from the terminally dull has not? The clucking about his possible negative contribution to the dressing room has begun already. I disagree. The fewer people we have wearing headphones listening to def bleeps and soulful vibes the better. I like my footballers to have pre-match rituals like ‘putting their boots on and glaring. Not discussing where’s good to spend £600 on a baseball cap.
That said, I say he’ll hook up with all his pals at West Ham.
BIOYC!
Please take him. He’s a talented footballer, but has a massive sense of his own importance at the club. Wait for him to start tweeting about lunacy at the club when he gets benched for a few matches.
Yes I agree he would be the perfect signing for spurs HE wouldn`t take any nonesense from Modric.
In regards to his temper, I would think Harry and Joe Jordan would handle it quite well.
Good point. I can’t imagine Alan Pardew handling a kids birthday party.
Dunno, the guy is a clown.
hahahah good shout!
… it would probably involve the Police and the Social Services!
I beg your Pardew?
Bookies have him as favourite to come to us.
Hope not. Another bench warmer.
do you mean the old Bailey bench
wot the old bench wot ron bailey used to sit on?
We need a player like Barton at the club. Someone to shake up the bunch of prima donna, powder puff woofters we have. Players like Lennon, Thudd, Jen*s, Defoe et al.
OK, he has displayed some disgraceful behaviour in the past, but has shown over the last year or so that he has grown up somewhat.
He will be cheaper than Parker & Diarra, can play central or on the right. His delivery from the right is much better than Lennon.
Make it happen Daniel.
Woofters… LOL
wooly woofters
Fatfish.
I think you may have lost these?

You’re welcome. ;-)
C’mon. Give the guy a break. Joey Barton would. Probably the left leg.
but arnt Sandro Wilson and Peanut suppose to be the steel in the middle
Morning Harry!
I have to say on the subject of Joey Barton, I would prefer to gently suck on the gusset of an incontinent tramp than see him ever wear a Spurs shirt. Just remember what happens when we take a supposed star from a lesser team and bring him in only to be a water carrier or bench warmer – Stephen Pienaar anyone?
And may I also say Harry, as much as I do love reading your articles which are always entertaining, this partioular one has the grammar of a backward 8 year old… ha ha!
‘Barton is undoubtedly bullish and a player with a focus bloke to ever kick a ball.’ WHAT?
‘…but if he isn’t then the idea of someone to replace him when he picks up those inevitable yellows and has the ref watching him like a hawk.’
… yes what about it?
Just a blip :-) Keep it up sir… not the blips!
Fetch this man an incontinent tramp.
I appear to have had a stroke halfway through that para. Duly amended.
Are you mus, are you mus, are you mus in the disguise? Are you mus in the disguise?
I think mus is ready for the step up to terrace legend. This blog just can’t hold him anymore.
Perhaps you were strongling yourself? the sadomasochist that you are
‘halfway through that para’ – Never put you down as an Army man HH, thought you were more the Navy type? Boom boom.
