without fail, one of the best podcasts i have ever watched and that takes some doing. Joey is on of those blokes that is hated for having an attitude and opinion a vast majority agree with but are too pc to show. Top bloke. Great watch. Thanks James

[@theblueboygaming]

Knew a fella who trained whiston juniors (where gerrard an Barton an a few more came from) and he said the club was struggling financially and he tried to get in touch with gerrard to see if he could do any sponsorship to help out never got a reply. 1 day joey Barton drives past while the fella was training the kids an ye stopped came over spoke to guy for 20 minutes he told him about the struggles they had he said he’d help out then he took his suit shoes off rolled his pants into his socks an asked if he could have a kick about by the end he knew every kids name I know he’s got a bad name an has done some dodgy shit 😂but can’t knock that respect him for ot

“You think I lost my head there don’t ya, that’s the common misconception” as he describes a scene where he completely lost his head, kicked someone up the arse, got sent off and then tried to fight several opposing players. Another case of everyone else getting it wrong.

Had a great taste in music, cant be bothered with football, good work james english 😊

[@M.C.F.C]

None of us are perfect and clearly Joey's had his issues, but it takes a big man to admit his wrongdoings and make efforts to improve. He's a different person now, so the negative comments on here might be a bit harsh. He's matured, humbled, intelligent and clearly cares about family and other peoples feelings now. The outrageous act of his brother should have no bearing on him. I wish Joey all the best. Good Podcast James.

[@johngriffiths6742]

Well said Sir. For too many people seem incapable of allowing someone to change & evolve. Instead of listening to what someone says, they instead ignore it so they won't have to question or change their initial opinion, even if formed years ago. This very point is even brought up in the interview, how people will comment, regardless of if they've even listened to the interview or just made up their opinion based on seeing the name alone.

[@James_Doyle83]

He should stop being mean to other people if he can't take it back

I remember JB playing and a lot of the stuff the British tabloids had written at the time, so my negative opinion of him was based on that. BUT he actually seems like a decent fella with good morals when I listen to what he says. Thanks James, I really enjoyed this one, one of the best.

James keeping up his track record of interviewing absolutely sociopaths.

[@jackgreen9330]

If anyone wants to know the actual story of what Joey disgusting describes as a ‘scrap’… A 17 year old black boy had just left CHURCH and was standing waiting for a bus outside a pub in a majority white area. Joey’s brother was standing outside the pub and shouted racist abuse at the boy and told them to fuck off somewhere else. The kid then waked to another bus stop to leave the situation, but joeys brother and cousin then got in their car, drove after them, got out, then beat the kid up and smashed him over the head with joey’s brothers axe. Then then got on a plane to Amsterdam to escape the authorities, before returning five days later when they were arrested. For Joey to say his brother ‘lost’ 17 years of his life is disgusting, and he also lied saying the cousin decided to bring an axe, when it was his brother’s axe and it happened because his brother wanted more from an innocent boy who just wanted to get the bus home after church.

[@JohnnyCarterMusicOfficial]

wtf

[@BennyBlanco481]

That story is half made up. The lad hadn’t left church, he was with his girlfriend and cousin. The ice axe wasn’t his brothers it was his cousins.

[@johngriffiths6742]

Agreed, an interesting listen. But you have to remember that in the modern world, everyone is perfect & hasnt made any mistakes. No one is allowed to be given another chance & to change & grow from the person they were in the past. Once a judgement on someone they don't know has been made, even if 15+ years ago, then this can't change as if it is then it shows nothing but weakness. And should anyone divert from the proscribed stereotype that is allotted them, then they are a wrong 'en.
