Idea of the Weekend

Joey Barton Meltdown of the Weekend

Joey Barton, Marseille (on loan from Queens Park Rangers)

I can’t believe QPR have just been relegated and Boswinga was walking down the tunnel laughing! Embarrassing. Show some guts man…

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 28, 2013

Gutted for the club. To many wankers amongst the playing staff. All brought in by Hughes. Some good lads but not enough. Too many maggots

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 28, 2013

Hope they can get a load out, if not they’ll end up in a Wolves situation because trust me that Championship is a f*cking hard league!

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 28, 2013

Lot of those within that dressing room, have to have a good long look in the mirror. Spoke to a few o the better lads over the course of…

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 28, 2013

…the season an it seems things just became ridiculous in the end. Its seems an awful lot must change if they are to have any chance…

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 28, 2013

…of turning it around next year. The club needs to change from top to bottom. I wish them every success in doing that. #QPR

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 28, 2013

Believe it or not I am actually gutted for QPR. I reckon more than some of the current playing squad.

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 28, 2013

Some good people at that club. They just trusted the wrong people. And got royally fucked over. I did tell them this would happen in August

— Joseph Barton (@Joey7Barton) April 28, 2013
