He couldn’t stay quiet for long.
We don’t hear anything out of him for months and suddenly Joey Barton goes viral again following his first red card in France and now for this hilarious clip of him mocking Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s massive honker.
Whilst Barton’s interpretation of how big Zlatan’s nose is accurate (it’s huge) what I found most funny about this little altercation is how Barton simply doesn’t stop mouthing off to the big Swede. Long after the initial foul took place, Le Joey is still there shouting at Ibrahimovic as they walk down the the pitch. We need him back in the Premier League soon.
The whole ‘big nose’ thing came about in the second Le Classique of the week as PSG took on Marseille in what was David Beckham’s full debut for the Paris club.
They like Beckham out in France and his presence there means there is more media coverage in this country on the Ligue 1. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad thing, Ligue 1 isn’t that good, right? It does mean, though, that we’ll be able to keep a closer look on Monsieur Barton as is French odyssey continues.
Ibrahimovic got the last laugh, though, scoring twice to help PSG to a 2-0 victory.
