What the hell was Joey Barton thinking?
My guess is, like many thinks related to Joey Barton, is that he wasn't thinking.
His reckless lunging tackle which sent Xabi Alonso out of the match and earned him a straight red
card was the epitome of unprofessional. No, wait. The tackle was the epitome of short sighted and
dangerous football, his "what did I do wrong" reaction afterward was unprofessional.
