It was never in doubt he would be a terrific signing.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 4:57 pm

I was on the fence about his return but those 3 points alone are worth it. Wonderful.

WestMidsClaret · Post by **WestMidsClaret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:04 pm

I wasn't on the fence but I wasn't sure what part he'd play, starting/impact sub etc. Now I know!! A match winner!

Joey had £100 on himself to score.

When he stepped up to the plate I just knew where it would end up "super Joey Barton"

Joey scores for Burnley in his Premier League debut. What more do we want.

Incredible.

Welcome back Joey.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:17 pm

When he first signed for us before last season, I didn't know if I'd ever like him, now I love him.

Lord Beamish · Post by **Lord Beamish** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:18 pm

His first goal at the Turf, too.

Well done Joey!

That just about the first positive post I've ever read from KBRFC.

I love Joey Barton. I want to stroke his hair and whisper sweet nothings in his ear.

Even if the FA ban him for the rest of the season, that winner makes the signing worthwhile.

I've always been positive about our players, go on the Boyd threads from last season or the Hendrick/Gray threads from this season, where I'm constantly defending them. You will chose to acknowledge whatever you want and dig whenever possible so I can't win either way.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:27 pm

Was gutted when he left, thought. we made a mistake.
However his re-signing is the second coming.
Great goal, 3 points makes the signing worthwhile already.

Heats had a lot to do with that too.

His reaction,the teams and the fans was fantastic

As I have said from the start, I'm quite happy grinding out wins this season my lack of faith in Dyche able to deliver enough wins added in with the style of play made me critical however after 3 quick home wins, I simply can't criticise when he's delivering results. When the results aren't so good then the style of football becomes a target.

joey13 · Post by **joey13** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:30 pm

Bearing in mind he had himself as 1st goal scorer and 1-0 win it was definitely a no brainer

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:31 pm

He looked sluggish at times but it took him a couple of games last year to get up to speed.
Welcome back, Joey and thank you for the two extra points.

PS. Enjoying the book.

When Joeys around there'll be news, luckily for us it all tends to be good.

KRBFC · Post by **KRBFC** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:48 pm

He just seems to have such a massive impact on the team when he's on the pitch, a natural leader who doesn't need the armband to fire the team up.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:49 pm

I just hope this isn't all ruined by a 12 game ban and I hope we not only stay up, but he stays for us all of next season too.

Claret82 · Post by **Claret82** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 5:49 pm

Just been interviewed, looked and sounded very grateful to be back

Just did an excellent interview on BBC Radio 5 live..very realistic and positive..get it on the i-player...great to have the lad back.

Thought he sounded quite emotional,we are his home.

One thing i noticed both today and last season,is that he is always available for a pass, always wanting the ball,this stops us pumping aimless balls up to gray,and we look more composed

Tribesmen · Post by **Tribesmen** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 6:54 pm

When he lined up the free kick i just shouted at the PC " hit the target Joey " hey you know the rest . As for his book did think there was more to come and boy you would find it hard to write the stuff . Love yer Joey ....

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 6:57 pm

It comes across to me that he has a lot of respect for Sean Dyche and that's why he's not been in any trouble on the pitch in his 2 times at the club. He doesn't want to let Sean down and so makes sure he behaves himself. Not many other managers would be able to handle Barton correctly.

Came on, scored the winner and then won three headers in our box. Was a faultless cameo.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 7:10 pm

Just watched his interview on clarets player.
He was very Thankful to the club, the players and fans to accept him back.
He said sometimes you dont realised how good something is until you leave.
He was glad to be back and again spike really well.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 7:15 pm

He fits our club like a glove and has ever simce he walked through the door. A fantastic footballer, one of my all time favourites and I was beaming that he got the goal. I said it was a no brainer when he re-sigmed and this was further evidence of it.

A modern day Burnley legend who will be remembered so fondly by those who saw him play for us. Let us hope he has plenty more memories to make at Turf Moor, I would personally love to see us keep him on for next season whatever happens.

fidelcastro · Post by **fidelcastro** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 7:16 pm

I haven't seen anything from him that suggests he shouldn't be the first name on the team sheet.

When he stepped up for the free kick we all looked at each other and said, 'he couldn't could he?'. Then he only went and bloody scored. Must have been written in the stars.

Cubanclaret · Post by **Cubanclaret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 8:37 pm

He took the ball off the toe of a southampton player in the 6 yard box with his first touch.
It's a very clever free kick too.
Kind of a shame he's just wasted 8 months of a dwindling career, but glad he's seen sense.

Burnleyareback2 · Post by **Burnleyareback2** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 8:39 pm

Within a couple minutes of coming on it felt like we had the whole team suddenly organised and people knew their roles.

Welcome home Sir Joey of Barton.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 8:45 pm

I watched on tv and it was such a smart free kick. Forster had been leaving his right side open forcing shots to that side. Joey obviously recognized that and put Hendricks in the wall the blocking Forsters view. Once Forster moved slightly to his right there was no way back, Watch the replay and drool.In real time i thought it got a deflection but it didn`t.

ontario claret · Post by **ontario claret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 8:49 pm

That ball he played into open space on the left near the end should have resulted in a goal. Vokes (as has so often become the plot) messed it up. He's the one who I think has to go.

Are you sure? I thought it definitely took a deflection because at 1st I though it came off Hendrick as it moved in flight and wrong footed Forster but then realised it may of hit Bertrand's bottom after seeing it again? Makes no difference it was still a brilliant thought out freekick either way!

ontario claret · Post by **ontario claret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 8:50 pm

"Dwindling career"? I didn't see any dwindle today.

Lowbankclaret · Post by **Lowbankclaret** » Sat Jan 14, 2017 9:21 pm

he has a 6th sense for dangerous moves and somehow moves to snuff them out.

you cannot teach that.

he is the Jedi master

View of the goal on this thread from behind the net. Hard to see a deflection but great work by Hendrick disprupting the Saints wall.
