Galaxy are thought to have offered Beckham a one year rolling extension to his contract which now seems the most likely outcome for the midfielder.
The Joey Barton Mystery
January 3rd, 2012 by Dave
Chances are even if you’re not a football fan you’ll have heard the name Joey Barton at some point. The QPR captain is never far from controversy and has graced as many front pages in recent years as he has back pages.
Barton is an outspoken man that appears to view himself on a higher plane than the players that surround him on the football field. Footballers generally talk in clichés and very rarely give any kind of insight to the world they inhabit, Barton doesn’t fit this mould. I’ve often heard him referred to as intelligent but it’s something I’ve always struggled to believe. A quick look at Barton’s twitter stream shows an individual that could find a fight in the most unlikely of places – often found insulting other low level celebrities based upon their appearance. The question is why is this supposed intelligent man getting involved in public playground spats?
