Keep up the good work Joey, i'm your fan!!!!

Maygbe if previous Managers had thrown him out of the­ game on the numerous other occasions of thuggery both­ on and off the pitch, it wouldn't have come to this­ situation.
There was a chance, at one time, to­ rehabilitate him. I'd have loved to have seen him­ enroled at one of the many professional martial arts­ clubs in Newcastle or the North East.
He would have­ quickly seen how little he is, along with realisation­ of how dangerous fighting can be.
Most importantly, he­ would have got some much needed mental discipline into­ him, and learned to turn his back and walk away from­ trouble and provocation.
BUT ITS TOO LATE NOW! He's­ used up every chance given to him by managers, and­ courts, and has no place at any club where he can be­ idolised by youngsters as a role model.
And don't­ start a chorus of " Oh my god! training this thug­ in martial arts?"
I firmly believe this wimp­ would have changed his ways, and if he did stray again­ and assault someone, (as he did so dispicably and­ cowardly in the past), the managers and courts would­ then take into account his aggression and dealt with­ him properly, as they should have done in the past, as­ he long ago past through the doors of 'last chance­ saloon'
The only hope now is that, someday,­ somewhere, he's going to start on someone again,­ only this time he's the one who isn't going to­ get back up. Then hopefully he'll just fade into­ obscurity.

chase the dirty little b ast ard back to fightin­ outside mcdonalds....

Wayne heath, what team do you support and I'll put­ a word in for you and make sure your club is Bartons­ next stop.

Next poll: Should you sack Murphy for writing such­ tripe???

newcastle united,a season to forget,eh!barton keegan­ ashley wise and now shearer,relegation,sponsership­ northern rock,busted bank kicking people out of their­ homes,yes and kids.when will it end,the whole of­ tynside wearside hangs it head in shame,this episode­ has damaged newcastles population,utter disgrace the­ good people dont deserve this humiliation.clear it all­ out!!!!!!!!!the government gives 2 grand 2 buy a car­ and refuses to assist those loseing their­ homes,northern rock sponsors the club and cynicaly does­ the same thing,yet the supporters "still­ support"i must be going mad,i cant believe it­ !!!!!!!

bad boy barton or bbb,is he the jonah for newcastle,the­ club will never live this down,bbb will always be­ remembered,talk about protectionismn,what is he­ mafioso,why the fxxxxn hxxl does toon put up with this­ dodo,the directors and management should have stamped­ him out long ago,but no,hes not a bad lad really,oh oh­ oh really,just needs a little talking too,oh oh­ really,hes had a bad upbringing oh oh really,kev give­ the boy a chance oh oh really,play him alan oh no not­ again,i thought alan was for the club and had morals­ Far............................tttttt,this bloke needs­ to get a job emptying bins,and i mean no disrespect to­ binmen,they would sort him out.!!!!!!!!!!!

bad boy barton?? scum would be a better description-­ what is a puzzle- why somebody hasnt kicked the @#$%­ out of him???? he represents the gutter level this­ country has sunk to.

I think he should do a course on flower arranging and­ maybe open his own flower shop, anything to get him­ reformed and off the football pitch.

while i totally dispise barton as a player just look at­ some other incidents that have happened in the past.­ what about the woodgate/bowyer attack a few years ago­ and they were both allowed to carry on playing or even­ when roy keane ended alfie haalands career with about­ 34 seconds gone in a match, granted they where all­ reprimanded but surely keane should have been banned­ when it came out in his autobiography that he meant to­ do it. all im saying is that if you start banning­ players then your setting and dangerous precident that­ will need to be enforced at all time and not when the­ person in question is an unlikeable little ####. oh and­ alladyce please please dont bring him to the mighty­ burn in the summer, we dont want him!!!!!

Thank you....its time he gets the boot!!! he is not a­ good player

He cant keep his hands and feet 2 himself go 2 a club­ that is violent or STOP PLAYING FOOTBALL ALLTOGETHER

If Newcastle go down, better to have Barton who will­ stand and fight to get u back up than Shearer who will­ run back to TV Land.

comment 25. I should have written that I could not­ envisage the Premier League without Newcastle. Typing­ error sorry.

This guy has let Newcastle United down big time. The­ likes of Barton, Drogba and Ballack give footballs up­ and coming youngsters the completely wrong message on­ fair play and standards and they should be banned from­ playing the game permenantly. Having lived and married­ in Newcastle I respect this great Geordie club and the­ fans and hope that some miracle will keep them in the­ Premier league. Can't envisage the Premier league­ with Newcastle, but people like Barton give sides like­ Newcastle problems they don't need. Man U­ supporter.

i say no managers to buy barton because he does not­ respect anyone so how can he respect his manager.

the blokes a nutter, better off without him.

Barton is player with good talent but he keeps letting­ himself down with such tackles and not respect his­ managers.

julia.carter2, I wish that was all my wife had to say­ when she complains about stuff.
