    Nathan - no, I don't think Barton should be "given a break" :

    I am nan Arsenal fan and I think this reaction is over the top. Barton made one slightly zealous tackle, not that over the top. The crown gave him stick - he laughed sarcastically at THE CROWDS reaction and then got tripped by Nasri who was booked, probably harshly. thats all that happened, nothing too terrribly malicious.

    This article is slightly unwarranted, we'll see again in 3 weeks.

    I liked Nasri's retaliation. He's got a bit of spunk.

    'Nasri is knocked to the turf.'
    God, I hope he is okay after such a undignifed and obviously delibrate assault.
    Calm down Gaffer, Barton is a prick and should not be allowed back in the game but this article is absolute rubbish and has no substance at all.

    I watched the "incidents" 3 times on my Tivo, cringing in pain when Barton tackled, and laughing with pleasure when Nasri tripped him in revenge.

    If its good enough for me to rewind 3 times, its good enough to blog about.

    Cheers.

    Barton is a psychopath, and Keegan is probably realizing that he is a liability. Three minutes on the pitch and it's a war.

    I want to point the finger also at Nicky Butt. In frustration he also tried to DO Fabregas with a dirty tackle. A real butthole ?

    This newcastle teams is the new blackburn, they can't play- just grab the headlines with violence

    Nicky Butt is a twat and Barton is an absolute disgrace. Where's PV4 when you need him to "talk" to opposition scumbags. Up the Arsenal!!
