As you can clearly see into the future, would you like to predict what our Joey will be tweeting tomorrow?
Today has been a rather quiet day. He has only likened Eni Aluko to Stalin and Pol Pot.
Our Joey is this morning calling himself a lone wolf, and claiming that he's got:
'the Woke, the Race Hustlers, the Gender Hustlers, the Covid hustlers on f***ing toast'.
While he's on holiday. Happy hols!
Taking a step back from the pundit debate, it might be worth taking a birds-eye view of Joey Barton's recent actions.
He has lobbed a few grenades. He knew that they would be incendiary. Numerous people, newspapers, ITV, Jeremy Vine and Gary Neville have responded.
He then posted a distinctly...
Take a look at the incredible tidying mouse in the clip below. This mouse has a life lesson for Joey Barton.
He/she is more productive, has a greater sense of community and is more at ease with his/her place in this world, than Joey Barton will ever experience.
Note that there is no...
You could be right about the blackmail, but I really have no idea; I'll leave that up to legal experts.
As for his employers (and sponsors), I would imagine they are endangered species.
Indeed. It would have taken him a while to draft that, edit it a few times, put the finishing touches to it etc, so he was probably up in the wee small hours.
He is very wound up, and has brought it all on himself.
It might be brinkmanship, but legal action would appear to be what he actually wants. He also seems to be developing something of a siege mentality.
This is his Sunday message, complete with veiled threats ('I don’t want to have to exhume some bodies'), but ends with a presumably disingenuous...
Update: Joey Barton has continued his social media rampage, and there's no stopping him. He has now had a go at Ed Balls's son Joel who is a trans activist.
It seems our Joey is getting a bit confused...
Sorry about the link to the Daily Star, but needs must...
What IS Joey Barton doing? Female pundits, ITV, Philip Schofield and now Germans?
There are no filters, boundaries or final checks before his latest wisdom is shared.
When Joey Barton said there should be a meritocracy in his interview with Piers Morgan, I got the feeling that he was referring to himself. That he has more merit than the pundits he singles out for this week's attack.
My opinion of Joey Barton is that he has no merit in anything, is...
I kind of agree with that. Let them hang themselves, in a Louis Theroux kind of way.
But if you take that to the nth degree, then you end up with toxic nutters spouting their poison at will. I wouldn't like to be on the end of his bile, and I don't suppose any of his victims are feeling...
Life is full of surprises.
I never knew what a frenulum was. Now I know what it is, I know I've got one, and I learned it on a Joey Barton thread.
Never underestimate the power of NSC.
