Stoke, Bolton, Blackburn, brand new ball games if Barton was walking out in an Arsenal kit. He's far from being the only shithead playing professional football. He's no worse than John Terry, for example. It's a bit sad we've reached the stage where we need this sort of player as an emergency response to the total lack of spine in the current team. But one season with this guy kicking and punching his way around the field wouldn't be such a bad thing, plus it would be damn entertaining - another thing we lack at Arsenal.
