***Twat Watch***

Upon reviewing the constant foolish off the field behaviour of our favourite football players, I felt the need to introduce a new column to On The Bench, some way to highlight the idiocies of some of our idols.

There is a common saying, that you can take the boy out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the boy. Joey Barton is simply the epitome of this, and he continues to ruin all his talent by being involved in more off the field shenanigans. When he is not beating up his teamates, or moaning about passionate fans, Joey Barton can be found on the streets of Liverpool getting into fights with random locals. Here is a link to his latest misdemeanor.

What a twat, some may call that a harsh judgement, others may see it as perfectly apt. But seriously what excuse does a professional footballer, who is supposed to be a shining light to youngsters around the country, have for being out clubbing and getting into yet another brawl, and this isn't a one off incident. Thankfully Joey will be learning a very harsh less over the new year as he spends his days moping in a nice warm jail cell. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I know Joey is an avid reader of On The Bench, but unfortunately he is behind bars and I doubt he has wi-fi access, but happy new year Joey.
