Manchester police recently released this CCTV footage of thuggish Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton pounding the crap out of some random guy on the street. Barton is serving six months in the pokey for this assault. He also got a four-month suspended sentence for his attack on teammate Ousmane Dabo while he was at Manchester City. Dabo. who's now with Serie A club Lazio, called Barton a "coward" and told reporters that Newcastle "does not care about the law and it shocks me."
I say we lock Barton and Rannord Jones in the same room for a day and see which one of them makes it out. Who's with me?

What amazes me most about the whole Joey Barton saga is that he keeps getting chance after chance, and he's not even that great of a player. If it were Lampard, Rooney, Gerrard, etc... you could possibly understand why teams would give them second chances, but Joey Barton? No wonder Newcastle's a complete joke.
