It didn't take him long did it? 12 games back in the Premiership, and Barton again shows why this yobbish scum should not be allowed to play in a sport dependent on Media money to exist. That punch was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen on a football field because of its cynicism and cowardice. A haymaker swing onto an opponent's chin is one thing, a short arm jab into an opponent's gut is revolting.
He has been given enough opportunities. Surely this animal was given a final warning last time? How many youngsters will emulate that punch in the coming months, on and off the field? How long before it is known as giving somebody a Joey?
There should be no mercy now. The game would be better without Barton and a lifetime ban for him, might just focus the mind of his team mate and England prospect, Andy Carroll.
What a cop out! If he accepts the charge of violent conduct, it is a 3 game ban! Gutless response!
