Joe got off lightly
“In 2017, Joey Barton - then a Burnley player - was banned for 18 months, reduced to 13 on appeal, after admitting placing 1,260 football-related bets over a 10-year period.”
Whoever was responsible for signing him, he was seemingly signed without a plan for how he would fit into our team.
It’s an era that I’m glad to see the back of.
I don’t think it’s unfair to say Arsenal bottled it. They were so far ahead at one point but it’s clear to see that the pressure was too much for them.
The fact that Man City kept on winning is irrelevant.
Arsenal deserve some credit for even being in the title race though.
