Joey Barton set for Arsenal!!!!

[GP]

He's not conning the ref if gervinho slapped him

The ref isn't analysing how hard the slap was, just that it occurred

A dive is feigning CONTACT - he did not feign contact, just exaggerated, and as he says - it's irrelevant. Shouldn't have been slapped regardless

Well, he shouldn't be dragging someone off the ground by his neck.

If anyone deserved a red, it was Barton.

Neck? All I saw was a shirt being pulled. Correct me if i'm wrong.

@RobbieSavage8 my job is to do the best for my team, not to keep Gervinho on the pitch. Theres more to football than kicking a ball....

Wise words tbh, maybe Wenger should pay attention

Like i said.......Dont half do a good job for his team

Gervinho definitely deserved a red, you're right.

There's only one person being aggressive here. Why the fuck has he got hold of his shirt anyway?

[Marc Overmars]

He's right in the sense that he took advantage of the situation, he had more to gain by faking injury and goading Gervinho. Therefore he is applauded for it by most on-lookers.

That doesn't happen in honourable sports you see.

Yeah like I said, shirt pulling. No necks being grabbed here.

He's got his shirt because Gervinho got in his face after he was pulled to his feet

Top-flight football is so shit these days. Utter garbage.

Looks like shirt pulling to me too, last time I looked the neck was below your head.

Oh boo hoo...did bad boy Barton cause trouble again?
