Barton having a dig at his Taylor for claiming there was an elbow when there wasn't on 5 live now.
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/...-hill-wood-to-QPR midfielder Joey Barton has insisted that Arsenal attempted to sign him in the summer, after seeing his claims dismissed by Gunners chairman Peter Hill-Wood.
Barton had previously stated that a clash with Gervinho in the first game of the season may have cost him a move to Arsenal upon leaving Newcastle United at the end of the transfer window.
He told The Sunday Mirror: "Peter Hill-Wood said they never had any serious interest in me, I just don't understand. The dialogue between him and his coaching staff has broken down so severely that he doesn't know what's going on at his football club.
"I don't know [why Hill-Wood said that]. Fair enough if I was claiming to sign for Real Madrid or Barcelona or Manchester City or Manchester United, but I don't think it's that big of a shout to say Arsenal were after me because it's definitely a club in - what shall I say? - transition."
The former Manchester City man also went on to express his shock at Arsenal's decline and poor current form.
The Gunners sit in 15th place in the Premier League following a poor start to the season and have struggled through their Champions League ties.
Barton continued: "Financially, they have put themselves in a great position but I don't know what's happening there.
"I don't understand. You look at Arsenal and you think, 'Well, they obviously have an abundance of money'. Their stadium is almost paid for. I would say, financially, they are the most well-run club in the league, barring Manchester City.
"I watched them the other day, it's a very different side from that great team they had with Petit and Vieira. If I was an Arsenal fan... well.
"It's nothing to do with me because it's not my football club but, even so, I like to see those great English sides do well. I remember watching the Champions League and Arsenal against Olympiakos at home was a shoo-in, four or five-nil win for Arsenal, but they made hard work of it. But this is the game we're in."
Spot on from Barton

He may have been talking about the time when he was at the club. . . .a day when it was acceptable to stub your cigar out in the eye of a trainee. . .
Anyone seen Barton on Twitter? He's been giving it to the cast of The Only Way Is Essex and they're retaliating.
Where are all these TOWIE maggots, am ready to obliterate them now.......come on, lets have it. #helmets
What's The Only Way Is Essex?
A show for fags and orange girls.
It's no geordie shore, that's for sure.
Today, Barton insulted Maria Fowler, who was upset by his comments. He said: "Sorry which one are u, the prostitute? the whale? the hippo? or the extra? Dont know who u are? Whats the goin rate for the full works these days? #brass."
Oh its the TOWIE BS that's in the papers all the bloody time. Another pointless show and a pointless footballer arguing with people on it.
