"There’s a famous pic of their captain gripping me round the neck. He's like a 36-year-old fella and I’m 20 and he’s waited till a pre-season friendly to grip up a young kid."

The sarge didn't wait for anything. He would've done it to anyone, any time if they had it coming!

[BillyStubbsTears]

For the record, Albrighton was 28. Barton was a few weeks shy of 22.

He's a prick who made a career out of being a prick. No f**ker would ever remember him if he hadn't been a prick.

One of the most embarrassing appearances in football history was his one and only substitute appearance for England, where he spent his 15 minutes of fame chugging round the midfield trying to kick Iniesta, and never getting close enough to make contact.

t**t.

[pib]

Attention seeking clown.

[Nudga]

Playing the victim when he stubbed out a cigar on a youth teamer.

If he wanted, The Sarge would have pulled out his heart like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse.
Unfortunately The Sarge couldn't find his heart.

It’s few years ago, but my recollection is the ref told Keegan to take him off or he’ll send him off, it wasn’t at half time either

[MachoMadness]

He's a Kitson. Doesn't mention he spent half the game charging into dangerous tackles looking to pick a fight. As soon as he gets a bit back he blows a fuse.

Also worth remembering the time Wellens made him look like a Sunday league player when QPR came to the Keepmoat.

The thing is, people respect a proper hard man even if they step over the line at times. Players like Duncan Ferguson, David Batty, and Roy Keane had the talent to back it up at the top level, then at lower levels you have honest pros like Albrighton, Steve Foster, and John Doolan who you could respect. Before my time, but I still hear people talk about Billy Whitehurst with admiration to this day. Nobody respects Barton, people see through him.

He’s not a thug, he’s a cowardly thug…big difference.

What possessed Bristol Rovers to make him their manager is beyond me.

I don’t think we’ll ever see him in any sort of position in the FL again. Good riddance to a nobody.

[ncRover]

His only income for the rest of his life is going to be money from interactions on his rage bait X posts.

So it’s best just to block him.

[wilts rover]

Pantomine villan!! No - proper villan and convicted criminal.

[tyke1962]

The cowardly bstrd didn't even have the bottle to front Daniel Stendel up in the tunnel at Oakwell .

Nar this piece of shyte ran up behind him and pushed him against the wall and Daniel lost two teeth .

[MachoMadness]

He's just started a podcast I believe. No coincidence he started spouting the laziest misogynistic stereotypes about women in football as soon as he started that up. Anything to drum up a bit of controversy.

[Monkcaster_Rover]

The Sarge should have squeezed a bit harder. Deplorable man.

Sums up this Thread and especially HIM perfectly

Then when that starts getting repetitive it will be “bohoo poor me I’ve been cancelled”

[BillyStubbsTears]

There's only one positive thing about this Kitson.

It's the personal affirmation that I knew he was a Kitson the first time I laid eyes on him. And every single breath the Kitson has taken since has confirmed that my initial opinion was right.

As Goodwin's Second Law says: Anyone who uses the word "Woke" as an insult has immediately outed themselves as a Kitson.

Wow. This is really low

[BillyStubbsTears]

Maybe it's a blessing. If he wasn't famous enough to have this outlet, he'd be kicking the shit out of a partner and their kids behind a closed door.

He's an absolute piece of shite.

Totally correct, apart from if he wasn’t famous he would be locked by now, absolute vermin

[BillyStubbsTears]

This from that Kitson over the weekend.

"I don’t want a war. I never have. That also doesn’t mean, I will walk away if you start one. I never taken a backward step in my life."

Apart from when he was a wickle, ickle boy and bad old man Sarge picked on him.

Kitson.

[BillyStubbsTears]

In fairness to him, what do you do.

You're a Kitson who was a footballer and manager.

You're too old to play.

You've failed as a manager.

What do you have left to fall back on, other than being a Kitson?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Imagine how much of a Kitson you need to be, to see this video and immediately think "Let's have a rant against Woke!"

I understand why Joey is so wound up about Normandy, his side lost after all.

Imagine the conversation

JB: What are you're best memories?

FB: Well, I played in two WC finals, I'm the only man to have both captained and managed WC winning sides, I captained Germany to the Euro title, and Bayern to three European Cups. I was considered to be possibly the most elegant and sophisticated footballer of my generation. What about you Joey?

JB: Well I tried to kick Iniesta for 15 minutes, generally acted like a Kitson for most of my life and was saved from having seven shades of shite kicked out of my by Leo and the Sarge by Kevin Keegan hiding me.

I bet the evening just flew by.

He must have forgot playing us a few years later and spending the whole match in Wellens pocket lol!

[drfchound]

On the other hand though, JB has done what lots of us would have liked to have done and had a long career as a professional footballer.

[Draytonian III]

Didn’t he have Willie McKay as his agent

A bit like someone who calls everyone who disagrees with him a fascist.
