Joey Bar"toon", the insatiable footballer ...

Joey Barton, 30 from Huyton Merseyside, captain of QPR was red carded in his last game for QPR for season 2011-2012. Tiny Tony (QPR's owner) Fernandez was there at the Stadium of Manchester to watch the spectacle and must have reeled with frustration and could have asked himself just how many more red cards is Joey gonna score...?

Joey & Tevez exchanging 'kisses'
Red carded or not, you got to hand it to Joey as he was clearly the Man of the Match for the day and without a doubt the Player of the Season for 2012. There could only be one other man in England who has come close in taking away that title, and that got to be the "Christmas" of Man City - Mario Balotelli.

Apart from the nail-biting end, and City triumphant at last, two colourful personalities at logger heads on the last day of BPL must be the best of English football ditched out in a long time. Never mind Man U losing out, Man City winning and Joey red-carded took the highlight.    

Away from all those 'accolades' bestowed upon Joey, and for all the wrong reasons this foolhardy loud-mouth arrogant hell of a footballer he is, Joey Barton without a doubt is the most out-standing centre half in England today. But he can never get into Roy Hodgson's England squad.

Why?

Fabio Capello once said, "If I get Joey in the English squad, it will be a total disaster for England." Now, that's how good this 'clown' is, I mean not as a player but as someone who spells disaster on the pitch.

Now Joey, here's a guy, talented but short-fused. Sharp and blunt. Loud mouth but scores. Reads the game well and disgusts his own team-mates. Joey has been red carded many times and for the latest against Man City, he may get a lengthy ban. Again the only other player who comes second to Joey is simply Mario.

Knowing Joey as British tabloids favourite 'clown', I wonder what Tony was thinking when he brought Joey to Loftus Road. I can't wait for the 2012-2013 season to begin. Can't come to grips the fun watching Joey and Mario to again dish out their antics on and off the pitch. Hope Mario doesn't go away to Italy. And another good thing, QPR escaped relegation. More fun next season.
