Following Newcastle’s most recent loss at the hands of Liverpool, Joey Barton and Alan Shearer exchanged some not so pleasant words. For Newcastle fans it’s a sign of the times, with Newcastle sitting in the relegation zone. For the rest of us, it’s once again an entertaining piece of football news. Instead of giving my own take on this hilarious drama, I’ll instead present you with the quotes from a “Newcastle insider” that spoke with The Sun.
“It was unbelievable. They were like two stags.
“Shearer told Barton he had made a mistake putting him back in the team, that he thought Barton was good enough to do it but he had shown he wasn’t.
“Joey shouted at Alan that he was the best player at the club, which was why he had to play him.
“Alan said he wasn’t, called him s*** and Joey replied that he was a s*** manager with s*** tactics.
“At that point, it looked like they were going to have a full-scale brawl and had to be dragged apart.
“Shearer was really angry, not just because of the stupid red card but because it means Barton will be missing for the last three Premier League games when Newcastle need everyone available.
“Alan gave Joey the big build-up during the week, saying what an important player he could be in Newcastle’s fight against relegation, and then he does that.
“You wonder what goes on in Joey’s head.”
Does this spell the end for Newcastle? Have your say in the comments section below!

Alan Shearer was a good player. Too bad he’s a terrible person and that’s why he’ll never have any success as a manager.
