Joey Barton and Dietmar Hamann cover themselves in glory in Twitter spat

[editor]

There is much to love about this exchange. Hamann’s description of Barton as “England international” is a marginally more subtle jibe than “maggot”, “washed-up cokehead” or “Tourette’s-face”, to name just three of Barton’s choicer efforts.

Barton showing himself up yet again, the guy really is a complete waste of dna.

Hamann tweeting like his playing style, the right little nudge in the right place at the right time.

I thought DH was remarkably restrained, given the insults and accusations being thrown by JB. JB really is a cunt.

 

[Balbi]

Barton on the other hand, looks like he can do it, keeps up for a bit but then gets caught out and charges into something without thought of consequences.

Hamann did this to him...



(Yeah, that's against my club - and I still like the bastard)

 

[NonDio]

I just wish people would ignore Barton. It's the attention he craves

I take it he normally responds in a reasoned and almost philosophical manner like the cantona, engages his detractors in a bravura display of dialectical thinking and then rests upon his laurels having confounded the scoundrels who sought to defeat him in a war of rhetoric?

In his own mind, possibly.

What's Joey hinting at about DH gambling, caning it etc?

DH's gambling problems.

Gareth Bale had the funniest tweet in that row.

That was wonderful. I fucking love Joey Barton.

Superb

The cynical side of me says that Didi probably threatened to sue him, but if not, then fair play to him.

Looks like the script was drafted by a lawyer. Covered all the bases etc, certainly not from J. Barton.

Yeah. That is not Joey Barton talking. Somebody's got the lawyers out.

 

[Balbi]

Didi wins.

An edifying exchange from these two renound bilingual men of letters.

Well one is bilingual, the other is biaccent.

Agreed.

This isn't Joey Barton's usual style is it?

I accept that my comments were offensive, untrue and related to matters of a personal nature, of which I had no knowledge.

 

[JTG]

I like Joey Barton.

 

[gabi]

Me too. He's certainly a character.

But what exactly is 'Tourette's face'? No idea but I'm nicking it.

 

[weepiper]

he's a massive bellend. Nothing to like.

 

[JTG]

Nah, I think he's alright

 

[weepiper]

Nah, I think he's alright

he's a prick

He's a prick alright. Hamann's no angel, of course.

 

[JTG]

oh

he's a prick

OK, that's a good reason to think that. The dick

tbh, most of the reasons people usually put up aren't terribly convincing mind
