#warren barton

5/8:

Brother: I agreed with Lee Dixon on a tackle on Cesc over GLS. Something is wrong with me.

Me: I must be getting soft in my old age because I actually found myself laughing at some of his jokes and agreeing with him during this broadcast. But GLS takes the piss out of him a bunch during it, too, which I liked even more. [Among other things, he said he’d apply for a job to get away from Dixon and also called him old.]

Brother: Would you rather NBC had the FA Cup final, but you only got Lee Dixon solo or let Fox do what they want?

Me: Oh god, NBC all day long. The only Fox commentator I like is Warren Barton. I can tolerate Dixon.

Brother: Yeah, but Lee Dixon with Chelsea v. Arsenal.

Me: I know, but what morons will they get to actually do the match at Fox.

Brother: For the amount of money they spend on football coverage, they put no money or thought into their commentators. NBC is the best and I basically only get cable so I can watch NBCSN and would change providers if I lost just this one channel.

Me: I know I talk shit about Dixon, but he's a fuckload better than anyone on Fox (except maybe Barton, who I do like). I mean, DR. JOE?!

Warren Barton admits he fears for Pardew's Newcastle #nufc

Ian Cruise:

When asked whether he believes Pardew will still be in charge on Tyneside by the end of the season, however, Barton confessed: “I’d love him to be there because that means the club would be successful, But my gut feeling is ‘no’.”

It would not…
