Strangely I have only come to like him the last couple of months. 

You certainly have to admire the sterling job he`s done. He`s gone from being intensely disliked by most to being loved by 90% of football fans in Bristol.

Well done Joey!

I prefer to think of Barrow on a Wednesday night in February. Hartlepool looking a reasonable shout for promotion too.

I have got Twentyman on, annoyingly because relegation hasn't come as a surprise to them there is a lack of quality callers.

Although some of them do try and give the impression that prior to this season, the Fewers had the monopoly on passion and fight.

Hate to be the one that breaks it to them, but most sides have passion and fight.

Here’s the league table when Super Joey took over. 
He’s taken them from 2 points above the relegation zone to 10 points below it. 
A miraculous 12 point swing in 16 games. 
Glorious.

Wally has been in charge of the Sags for 5 years (Feb 2016).

When he bought the circus they were in the 4th tier with an awful ground and after five years of hard work and investment they are now.... In the 4th tier with an awful ground. 

Looks like all of that hard work, second only to Spurs in terms of ground improvement, has really paid off.

But he’s Joey Barton he’s played in a standard Bristol Rovers have never been in. I’m glad the bottom dwellers suck it up. Wouldn’t surprise me if they went non league again

Following my comment that the Fewers thought they had the monopoly on fight and passion, turns out there has been something called 'Covid-19' in the area as well, and this has had a detrimental impact to their finances.

Sounds like it must be a very local thing, as in amongst posts and comments, no one has mentioned it impacting any other clubs who might have suffered too.

They won't acknowledge that though, apparently Joey is 'a gashead' so is immune from suggestion that he has got less out of the players than other people might have done.

Yes, I’ve heard of this.

Fortunately no other club in the entire league have had their finances effected or had to play behind closed doors.

Poor babies, they’ve had it so so tough, it’s not fair!

Since becoming a league club in 2015, they have had one season in L2 and five seasons in L1.

It's not bad for a club so new to the league.

One of the funniest things about all this is that the majority of those ******* dumbos have decided they’re going to hero worship Barton despite absolutely slating him in the past. The guy who has taken them down without a whimper and now there’s nothing they can do to save face without looking like the massive hypocrites we know they are 

Loving the fact that there’s plenty of hilarity on Social Media from fans of other clubs who, no doubt, would’ve had no real opinion about the Gas until they gave a job to that thug.

Does Joey's contract get cancelled if he is sentenced to a few years in Horfield in the summer?

I love how the scum, overdrawn and quartered are hanging on Jaily Birdon’s every word. Hilarious that they are all putting those three letters at the end of their posts (no point in me writing it as the OTIB filter corrects it to what it should be) when the Gash have literally just done the opposite of “Up”.

More impressive is the job JFH has done with Burton, and the Wigan U23 team and the Wombles respective forms. Given that Swindon were above the line, were they claiming the league title at that point?

Yeah because everything they have done this season (and the last five years!) suggests they will easily build a squad capable of promotion from league 2 to the championship for less money in transfer fees than people pay for a kit-kat.

15 games and 11 points compared to 11 and 9 respectively for Barton and Pearson. Both teams in free fall. Barton simply had less of a cushion to play with. I would not blame him either.

Take a bow, Messrs Widdrington and Starnes. Occupy your rightful places in the FTG Hall of Fame alongside Colin Daniel, Matty Taylor and Peter Beadle.

What type of crayon chewing window licker posts such absolute non sense?!? It is their refusal to ever accept the truth which makes them the utter laughing stock they truly are and in doing so rubbing the noses of a Crawley or a Harrogate on any other of the teams in League Two in not showing any respect to these teams.

A couple of wins and the sags are marching into the play offs, or they're bigger than Norwich or that they are a well supported team yet they can't even manage to sell out a 12,000 seater outdated rugby ground.

Well hopefully it could very well be a long time before they "experience such a downfall", for a start they've got to get back to L1!

"We are one million strong". We know that they're prone to exaggeration but this is a whole new level of delusion.

 

[Taz]

I took "one million strong" to mean that that's their transfer budget for the next 5 years (because everything is in 5 years time...)

It can't mean anything else. There definitely isn't a million of them around the world. Only other explanation is that their calculator is broken.

It’s this exact type of bullshit and bluster that is the reason people actively celebrate their downfalls rather than not giving a shit. They speak a special type of language up at Chernobyl and as others have said two or three wins on the spin next season and it will be back to “pissing leagues” on their way up to the Prem.

Even by their previous attempts at mathematics “one million strong” is so stupid that I would take the bastards crayons off him for a fortnight.
