Some strange people think that I’ll be playing in the Championship next season. Good one! QPR might, I won’t! #fact

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 9, 2013

My QPR career was over when they decided to listen to the footballing sage, Mark of Hughes…

I’m loving life in France. Loving Marseille. They love me. All I want to do is gave everything for this football club. They backed me when..

..nobody else did, for that I will be eternally grateful. This club is now in my blood, its impossible to get it out. #ForzaOM

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 9, 2013

For the record, QPR was over 4 me way before the Man City incident. Those stories are for another time. I wish QPR all the best 4 the future

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 9, 2013

I really hope they stay up. I have all season. Stay up/go down. Harry stays/goes. I don’t want to be part of it. Marseille is my home now.

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 9, 2013

It’s not upto QPR if I stay. Agreement already in place for me to stay here. Can’t see QPR wanting me on the wage bill in the Champ.

It was a move for me that just never worked out. Sometimes that happens. I gave my all in that shirt as I always do. I made mistakes. But…

…I never gave less then my all, regardless of internal politics. I played a part in keeping them up last year. This year, I was banished..

..from the 1st day of pre-season training. Treated like a leaper. Some will say deservedly so. I can’t argue. Life goes on, after all…
