Ahead of the boxing day clash at the Emirates, one QPR player in particular has been rather vocal about his side’s chances of getting something from the match. Care to take a wild guess? You are correct, who else but Joey Barton? Barton has never been shy to express his views on anything, and yesterday admitted he doesn’t fancy his side getting anything from the match tomorrow.
In typically bizarre and humorous fasihon, Barton also admitted that he, as well his teammates, will find it difficult to cope with Arsenal’s superstar Alexis Sanchez.
“I don’t think I’m good enough to be honest.”
“They’ve done that with Sanchez and for me he’s been a breath of fresh air, he’s great to watch.”
A little Christmas eve comedy for my fellow gooners, and I imagine Rangers fans won’t be too happy with this. Astonishing remarks from Barton even from him. Praising an opponent while disparaging your own team is absolutely unheard of and I would love to see how his teammates feel about his statements.
Boxing day’s clash with QPR is as straightforward as they come regardless, but these statements should fire up the lads even more (assuming they have read this report and care about what Barton thinks). Arsenal have struck fear in the enemy! COYG
