no balls Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Good! Though, I can't see him having a hard time in there, seeing as most of his close/extended family are in the nick. JSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiffs Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 He'll do 3 months, but 1/3rd of that will be on tag. Out by mid July with a decent tan. I predict July 18th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the one footballer i wouldnt give a shit about goin the same way as gazza, he's already half way there the loon! They should at least stop his wages. We all know he'll not serve 6 months, unless he's a naughty boy inside too. However, if he did serve his full term: he'd earn around ?1.5m whilst inside.

It doesn't matter how he behaves inside, the maximum he will serve is 3 months, unless he does something that warrants him going to court and getting another sentence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatanGreavsie Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 They should at least stop his wages. Better still, he/they could start the PR fightback by saying anything "earned" in the period inside is going to a charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic legs Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 In Barton's defence I did like that thing he was reported to have said about Gerrard, Lampard etc after the World Cup: "I played shit. Here's my book." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
