Manchester City's Mario Balotelli 'antics' amuse Joey Barton

OUTSPOKEN: Joey Barton

Newcastle midfielder and former Manchester City man Joey Barton has had his say on the latest Mario Balotelli incident.

Balotelli was hauled off early in City's last US tour game for a bizarre back-heeled effort on goal and subsequently rowed with boss Roberto Mancini.

And Barton said on his Twitter account: "Mario Balotelli is fully off his barnet... from now on am referring to him as "The Renegade"... he amuses me greatly with his antics."

Barton, meanwhile, has been linked with a shock move to Manchester United but downplayed those rumours at the weekend.

Unfortunately Joey's antics make Mario look like Mary Poppins.

Nice hair style Joey! You remind me of my dad's army haircut circa 1953! Super Mario's a thousand times cooler than you'll ever be (and he's won trophies)!

With Joey's track record ,wouldn't you think he would be keeping a low profile, Still always seems a bit short in the knowledge department, anyway just a twit using twitter.

So I take it no one is too keen on one of your old favourites.......a product of your youth system.......who gave you 5 years of 'hard' (in the true sense of the word equaling thug) graft on the pitch, but hard times off it..........how fickle you lot are..........& by the way regardless of what you lot say or think, Joey Barton never has or never will be good enough to even be considered to play for the mighty Man.Utd.........''linked with a shock move to Man.Utd" my a*se........was that I pig I just saw fly over ?????? hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

And this is important because......?

Look, Joey Barton is a slightly better than average prem player with a terrible attitude who used to play for City once upon a time, many years ago. He narrowly avoided being sacked a few times and then went to play for Newcastle.

He is no longer a City player or important to the future of City. His views about City are irrelevant and unimportant. Why are MEN continually linking him ?

Dear joseph you need to sit back and take a hard look at yourself and your family name.Mario may let himself down with his stupid antics, but im trying to recall when he burnt someone in the eye, or ended up fighting outside a fast food joint. We wont even go down the prison route.

Good player for City when he wasn't handing in transfer requests or assaulting his team mates.

He calls him 'The Renegade' - We refer to Barton as 'Not Good Enough'

I dont understand why it takes all day to get a comment posted on this site. Lift your game MEN, this website is becoming a joke. Maybe it wasnt published because I bagged Joey Barton and the fact his name has been whispered to be of interest with a red team based somewhere near Manchester makes him out of bounds?
On another note - city associated with Ageuro, nsri and the drams of one Carlos Tevez...... reds with jones, young and an overpriced under experienced keeper.... wow how times have changed.... im not suprised the MEN are angry about it all!
