Barton slams 'vicious' fans

[bongo]

Joey Barton has warned Newcastle fans they will never see success at St James' Park unless they change their 'vicious' ways.

The midfielder, a £5million summer signing from Manchester City, admits to being shocked by the behaviour of Newcastle supporters.

Barton has also been surprised by the treatment of under-fire manager Sam Allardyce, whose position has been questioned following a run of poor results.

A section of the Newcastle faithful were calling for Allardyce's head during last weekend's 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool, and Barton is not impressed.
"I have not yet seen the famous crowd I was expecting to hear get behind us," said Barton.

"Instead it has been vicious. I don't think I have heard a crowd that vicious.

"Last Saturday I was sitting on the bench and after 20 minutes I had picked up on it. It shocked me.

"The fans want success and they want it straightaway, but unless they change that mentality and start supporting the side through poor results then things won't change.
"Unless there's a massive change, it's going to be the same for this manager, the next manager and whoever comes in after that.

"If it continues, when the manager goes for players, they will go somewhere else rather than jump in the frying pan.

"Sam's a good manager. He's getting the brunt of the criticism but doesn't deserve it. Not many managers can turn a club round in five minutes."

Joey,lol,Barton calling the fans vicious,
Sorry ,i have to stop laughing and gasp for air.
The words pot and kettle spring to mind,who is it going to Crown Court on assault charges again.
The future is looking great for our friends up the road,first Sam's tactics and now this,oh dear.
