If Only Barton Had A Brain Cell!

Joey Barton is a nutter who deserved his stint in jail .... but the fact remains ... he'll be back in nick sooner rather than later.

Will he ever learn? Has he got a brain cell between those lugs of his? Will he play for Newcastle again?

NO!!!

Barton, who made his return from a five-month lay-off in Sunday's fixture, received a red card for a reckless two-footed challenge on Xabi Alonso that saw the Spaniard stretchered off with a leg injury.

Alan Shearer: "He deserved to be sent off, he has let himself and the club down.

"As regards a club fine? "We will do what we have to do.

"He was not unlucky, the referee was spot-on. There was no need for him to do that in such a position."
