Poor Joey’s football career is in steady decline due to his quick thumbs and quick tongue. He thinks he’s smarter than everyone yet he can’t see what’s happening.
He’s becoming more of a rent-a-rant than Eamon Dunphy, and he’s twice as bitter. Not looking forward to when he goes into punditry.
Dunphy is entertaining, Joseph Barton is not.
Here’s a stat Joey….. One England cap. It shall remain that way too cos you add nothing to the league in terms of football. Delusion jokeshop.
does the 98% stat not count as a produced stat? …
How he is still in football is beyond me. Nothing but a thuggish mouthpiece.
Far from me to ask whats this idiot doing on this fantastic on line newspaper, There is better stories like the Donegal people walking to Dublin to protest about the cuts to all services and the banks.
This is sports section!
lies, damned lies and statistics
