Barton on Megson's mind
-
ALAN SHEARER had a massive dressing-room bust-up with Joey Barton after Newcastle’s 3-0 defeat at Liverpool.
Shearer was steaming at the bad-boy midfielder for getting sent off for an ugly late lunge at Reds rival Xabi Alonso. But as the Toon boss tore into the £5.8m player, telling him he had let himself and the club down, Barton replied: “You’re a s*** manager with s*** tactics.”
The pair went head to head and had to be pulled apart just as they were about to come to blows. A Newcastle insider said: “It was unbelievable. They were like two stags.
“Shearer told Barton he had made a mistake putting him back in the team, that he thought Barton was good enough to do it but he had shown he wasn’t.
“Joey shouted at Alan that he was the best player at the club, which was why he had to play him.
“Alan said he wasn’t, called him s*** and Joey replied that he was a s*** manager with s*** tactics.
“At that point, it looked like they were going to have a full-scale brawl and had to be dragged apart.
“Shearer was really angry, not just because of the stupid red card but because it means Barton will be missing for the last three Premier League games when Newcastle need everyone available.
“Alan gave Joey the big build-up during the week, saying what an important player he could be in Newcastle’s fight against relegation, and then he does that.
“You wonder what goes on in Joey’s head.” Shearer has vowed to fine Barton two weeks’ wages of around £120,000 and has washed his hands of the midfield hot-head.
After the game Shearer said: “Barton wasn’t unlucky to be sent off, it was the right decision. “We will be without him for the rest of the season and I’m not happy at all.
“He has let me down, definitely, and the same goes for the whole club and himself. From a disciplinary point of view, I will do whatever I can.”

alright man, shearer pawned by barton!

and he is one s**t player....why is he playing football instead of spending his time in jail?
-
seems like newcastle is in crisis. I really dun hope they get relegated.

Shearer is a novice in football management... I wonder does he even have a Uefa License to manage a football club... So much for those Tv pundits... Always sitting in the comfort of their studio and criticizing others...

Not really... All they need to do is beat Boro at home... Boro is just as bad at the moment... They are lucky that they still have this match against a weaker side... Otherwise they will really go down...

Bad-boy Barton suspended by Magpies
Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has been suspended from the club until further notice by Magpies boss Alan Shearer.
The controversial 26-year-old, who was sent off for a reckless challenge on Liverpool's Xabi Alonso on Sunday which cost him a three-match ban and ended his season, has been told to stay away as Shearer attempts to save the club from relegation.
A club statement said: "Newcastle United can confirm that Joey Barton has been suspended from the club until further notice.
"The club will be making no further comment on the matter at this time."
A report has suggested the former Manchester City player was involved in a furious dressing room bust-up with Shearer after the game at Anfield.
