Joey Barton has seriously lost the plot

He has been a tool since he was playing for City and probably before that. His actions during the Aguero goal game when City won in Fergie time were nothing short of disgraceful. They seem to of been forgotten but he cost them that game. He is a horrible person, yet keeps getting a platform to spout his bile.

Sadly the platforms are there for him and he brings publicity, at the moment. He was always a horrible individual, now he has turned the dial up. He has just become a caricature, along with some other unsavoury characters, Hopkins, Fox spring to mind. Do you think they get together and spout bile for fun? See how extreme they can go?

Sadly, they get the sort of support they crave on social media so believe they’re right.

Maybe they’re all in a WhatsApp group

Biggest game in 8 years today.

Some atmosphere at the Stadium of Light

When you consider how keen teams are to wear away kits, kerching, why the heck are two teams playing today in white stripes? Not the easiest to pick out

I didn't think clubs were allowed to where kits with any matching colours?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Well I'm going to disagree with Ally Mccoist there. That's a penalty for me.

The commentary team and studio team have all touched on it, but this no VAR has been great.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Sunderland being very kind in insisting in playing out from the back. Just gifting it to Newcastle. So naive not to adjust to playing against better players.

So, Man City are refusing to wear the FA Cup logo on their sleeves as Emirates are rivals of their own sponsors. I expect they will also be turning down any prize money from Emirates (or donating it to charity) ?



Or maybe not

You'd assume that is part of the conditions of entry to the competition. Is that not just a media story?

Nope, just check the internet for photos from last year ( including the Final) and no sleeve badges

It appears they are also allowed to wear their “club World Cup” badge in every game now as well despite both Chelsea and Liverpool only allowed to wear it in the game after they won

If they refuse to have the Emirates Badge then they should zero prize money from any of the ties - but it won’t make much difference to them.

If anyone wants to see the definition of stupid in a game of football, watch a replay of the tackle for the Newcastle penalty . You could see it coming a mile off and he didn't disappoint

Not sure how Clinton Morrison thinks you pronounce Gillingham but on Sky Sports he seems to have it down to about 4 letters

Apparently Jordan Henderson wants to leave Saudi

 

[Norrin Radd]

What the absolute hell was that given as a penalty for. The ref is obviously bent

What an absolute twit. So funny.
